My Brother's Killer chronicles the unsolved murder of Billy London, a gay adult film performer who was brutally killed in West Hollywood more than 30 years ago. Director Rachel Mason and producer/editor Dion Labriola join us to discuss the importance of memorializing Billy's life, the one and only Penelope Spheeris coming on board as executive producer, and collecting gay porn.

Time and Water is a documentary that follows renowned Icelandic poet and author Andri Snær Magnason as he writes a memorial for the death of a glacier while interlacing his family's history as an overall reflection of home, loss and change. Director (and returning guest) Sara Dosa joins us to share why she went back to film a second documentary in Iceland, approaching the environment and climate change through an emotional connection, and how our past and memories provide a road map for the future.

Edie Arnold is a Loser is a coming-of-age film about a group of high school outcasts who stir up trouble at their all-girls Catholic High School when they form a punk band. This interview was a full on party, as we are joined by co-director/writer Megan Rico, co-director Kade Atwood, and the film's stars Adi Madden Cabrera and McKenna Tuckett. We discuss our shared Catholic school trauma, their unique casting process, and the struggles of a horny teenager.

Plantman and Blondie: A Dress Up Gang Film is a comedy about a plant vigilante that rescues neglected houseplants, and enlists a lonely man to join his cause. We're joined by co-writer/actor/comedian Frankie Quiñones to discuss how a real life Fiddle Leaf was an inspiration for this story, the origins of The Dress Up Gang, and what makes his mom such a natural actor.

Fresh off the whirlwind of SXSW 2026, Erin and Ange reflect on all the action behind the scenes (while on location at an all you can eat/open bar brunch party). We've got red carpet hypes and gripes, learning to rethink our futures at The Tech We Want, a Lesbian Simulator VR experience, unpacking our secret crushes on Jack Johnson, and so much more...

We're on location at one of our favorite events of the year, the Standard Deviant Brewing Pre-Superbowl Chili Cook-off! This is their 8th annual celebration of all things chili, and we have exclusive interviews with the chili makers and the final results!

San Franciscans truly shine with creativity and talent, and this year was no different. We have everything from nuns to Toy Story, an ode to PBS and a first class Michelin star experience, cowboy recipes to dad's simple classic, a horrific zombie experience and a chili so unique it is simply not namable. We had so much fun, and to those who were there, thank you for your participation and we'll see you next year!

These two Sundance Film Festival documentaries discuss human life, both in how we deal with aging, and the lengths that we go to live longer.

The Oldest Person in the World chronicles the ever-changing Guinness World Record holders of the title of oldest person alive. Director Sam Green discusses his curiosity with our obsession with death, why the record holders are mostly women, and how the story became something bigger that he never saw coming.

Sentient exposes the hidden world of pain in laboratory research (both from the animals and the scientists that work in the field), questioning the justifications for harming animals and our alternatives in the future. Director Tony Jones sits down to share his frustration with vaccine deniers in the US, how we can move forward without animal testing, and why his goal with this film is to make the audience feel like you're on an emotional roller coaster.

These two Sundance documentaries touch on the importance of freedom of speech, and what happens when we both give people access and take it away.

Public Access shares rare footage of NYC's media rebels who turned our screens into platforms for free expression, turning ordinary people into stars. We sit down with director David Shadrack Smith and subject/public access star Jake Fogelnest to discuss the wild west of public access TV, why Jake interrogated David before he agreed to participate in the film, and Jake being the original influencer.

Seized documents the illegal raid of the Marion County Record, a small town Kansas newspaper, and what happened in its aftermath. Director Sharon Liese joins us to share how she gained the trust of the local people, the importance of telling both sides, and how the arrival of a new intern changed the way the story would be told.
