Holy shit, we're 800 episodes old! And we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than with some of our all time favorite guests, Bill and Turner Ross. We met up during the SXSW festival at the Mean-Eyed Cat, one of our favorite bars in Austin, to discuss Gasoline Rainbow, their newest film that your favorite bitches make a brief cameo in!Gasoline Rainbow  follows five teenagers from small-town Oregon who, with high school in the rear view, hop in a van and decide to embark on one last adventure. In this episode we dish on everything from how we met the Ross Brothers at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020, the photo that prompted them to ask us to be in their film, bonding with and mentoring the teens in the film, and how they were able to make an optimistic movie in a very difficult time. Join us for the SF premiere of Gasoline Rainbow at the Roxie on Friday, May 17th @ 6:30pm!

We're excited to have return guest Jane Schoenbrun with a powerhouse film that they wrote and directed, I Saw The TV Glow. The film is set in the '90s and follows Owen, an awkward teenager whose classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night tv show, and his new obsession begins to cause cracks in his sense of reality. Jane describes their "egg crack moment", and how important it was to cast queer actors (led by the wonderful duo of Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine) that we normally don't see in teenage angst films. And then we discuss the '90s nostalgia and gorgeous cinematography that this film serves, our mutual obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the incredible soundtrack that'll leave you wondering if Jane is also a part-time DJ. Jane is a unique and important voice in the entertainment industry, and we are fucken' here for it.For I Saw The TV Glow screening times, click hereFollow director/writer Jane Schoenbrun on IGSupport the Show.Thanks for listening and for your support!

This episode brings you an interview and a memorable red carpet experience for a SXSW film that we had so much fun watching! I Don't Understand You is a narrative film that follows an American couple on the verge of adopting a baby as they find themselves stranded in rural Italy without transportation or language skills. And of course, chaos ensues. Our first interview is with producers Jessamine Burgum and Kara Durrett from Pinky Promise Films. We get into starting a production company during the heart of the pandemic, their decision making process for new films, how being a young company is an advantage in an ever changing industry, and what a difference it makes to work with really cool people.We cap off this episode at the red carpet premiere for the film, where we were joined by co-directors/co-writers David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano,  and actors Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells, Morgan Spector, and Eleonora Romandini. We talk about everything  from parenting fears and horse sausage, to fake Italian accents and big clit energy! In short, it was a good time.Follow Pink Promise Films on IGFollow producer Jessamine Burgum on IGFollow producer Kara Durrett on IGFollow director/writer David Joseph Craig on IGFollow director/writer Brian Crano on IGFollow actor Nick Kroll on IGFollow actor Andrew Rannells on IGFollow actor Morgan Spector on IGFollow actor Eleonora Romandini on IGBuy tickets and join us at the first ever POC Food and Wine Festival HERE!Audio engineering by Jeff Hunt from Storied: San FranciscoSupport the Show.Thanks for listening and for your support!

This episode explores two SXSW Film Festival documentaries that are very dick-heavy (literally and figuratively).A House Is Not A Disco captures a year in the life of the world's most iconic homo-normative community: Fire Island Pines. Director Brian J. Smith and producer Jeremy Truong share the difficulty of staying focused while you're being offered margaritas during filming, how climate change became an important part of the story, and the concept behind "food for bottoms".Dickweed tells the true story of a heist-gone-wrong that resulted in two people getting kidnapped, one man losing his dick, and no one getting paid. Director Jonathan Ignatius Green joins us to share how he got the green light to tell this story, sharing the narrative from the point of view of the convict as well as the victims, and his interest in true crimes involving everyday people who one day cross the line.Follow A House Is Not A Disco on IGFollow director Brian J.
