As we work to close out March, we've got the first leg of a two-day double-header here at the show, as I was joined by Miss Bethany Summersizzle from Aliens on Fire to take a look back at a movie that had a much more prescient message about capitalism and consumerism than I would have thought:

For this Filmmaker in Focus episode, I was joined by Josie and Mitchell Robinson. I had the pleasure of talking to them about their cinematic inspirations, what it's like working with your spouse, the on-set experiences of making their debut feature, Somnia, and what's next for them after two sold-out screenings. Plus, there's some other fun stuff in there as well. Enjoy!

We are a few days removed from Valentine's Day and, since we are still in the middle of celebrating horror month here at the show, Joel, Miranda, and from Weekend and Deckard's are here to take a look at what's been called the most expensive break-up song ever.

NicVember continues as I was joined by the wonderful Bethany Summersizzle from Aliens on Fire to solve the mystery and join the search for Rowan Woodward.
