How do you go from Yale and Heidegger to Hollywood and "How many explosions can I fit on a page?" Writer David Loong is here to go over just that, his journey, and becoming a member of the 2024 - 2025 NBC TV Writers Program.
More about David Loong:
David Loong writes genre dramas featuring deep worldbuilding and multicultural, code-switching outsiders. Born in Hong Kong, he attended high school in Oxfordshire, England before getting a B.A. in Intellectual History from Yale University. After brief career flirtations with consulting, crypto, and underwater archaeology, Loong earned an MFA from USC’s Screenwriting Division. He was selected for The Thousand Miles Project, UCP’s highly regarded talent incubator. After the program, he signed a deal with UCP to develop an original pilot, “The Englishman,” a boarding school thriller centered around a mysterious and cutthroat school competition, with "Pachinko" showrunner Soo Hugh. Loong is repped by Anonymous Content and IAG.
More about the NBC TV Writers Program:
Created in 2005, the NBC TV Writers Program is the company’s premier program that develops emerging episodic television writers whose distinct points of view and lived experiences provide unique perspectives to the writers’ room.

It's The Truman Show meets Naked and Afraid meets Extreme Couponing? We welcome documentary director Clair Titley and the prizewinning participant himself, Nasubi, to talk about their stranger than fiction look at The Contestant.
More about The Contestant:
This true story of a Japanese reality TV star left naked in a room for more than a year, tasked with filling out magazine sweepstakes to earn food and clothing, prompts innumerable questions about our culture of oversharing.
Before the onslaught of reality television in the West, there was an ominous harbinger in Japan of what was to come in our oversharing-obsessed culture. The Contestant traces the experience of aspiring comedian Tomoaki Hamatsu, nicknamed Nasubi, who unwittingly became an extreme case study.
In 1998, Nasubi thought he was attending an audition when a successful Japanese TV producer, Toshio Tsuchiya, enlisted him to take part in a challenge. Tsuchiya led Nasubi into a room, ordered him to strip naked and left him with a stack of magazines. Nasubi’s task was to fill out contest coupons in order to win what he needed to survive — food, clothing, appliances, etc. — until he reached the prize goal of one million yen.
Although Nasubi could have left at any time, he stayed for months with a fierce determination to complete his mission. He was cut off from all contact with his family and the world except for occasional interactions with Tsuchiya.
What Nasubi didn’t realize was that his experiences were being broadcast to over 15 million people in a TV show called Denpa Shonen: A Life in Prizes. Without his knowledge or consent, Nasubi became the most famous television personality in Japan.
The Contestant is streaming now on Hulu.

Producer and showrunner Ben Roy is here to talk about the new Netflix nature docuseries Our Living World, diva cicadas, interwoven climates, and Cate Blanchett - beekeeper extraordinaire.
More about Our Living World:
This is the wondrous, untold story of the most magical, powerful force on Earth: life itself, and how it shapes the world through incredible physical connections and astonishing webs, producing a planetary life support system that sustains and protects us all. Spanning continents and oceans, fueled by wind and water and fire, this network allows the densest forests to impact the coldest glaciers, and the deepest oceans to feed the hottest deserts. But with Earth now changing at unprecedented speeds due to human activity, our living world’s network is malfunctioning – and it will take all creatures, great and small, to return its balance.

The latest adaptation of The Color Purple sings from stage to screen. We wish Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom had considered staying lost. Anyone But You is about the most accurate title we've seen for a film all year. Finally Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire is a flaming mess.

Dr. Tom Fletcher is here to chat about the perfection of sharks (and how they're oft misrepresented in blockbusters), the evolutionary importance of Lystrosaurus (or "potato tortoise things"), and having to play science bad cop for Life on Our Planet.
PLUS we participate in the podcast's first ever scorpion naming ceremony?
More about Life on Our Planet:
Organized around the five mass extinction events that have forever shaped the planet, plus the sixth we’re facing today, the series brings creatures known only from fossils to life in dramatic, photoreal fashion. These stunning scenes are presented alongside cutting-edge natural history sequences, showcasing the unique evolutionary advantages modern species have inherited from their ancestors in ways that have never been seen before. Audiences will see the story of life unfold through its most pivotal moments: from the first single-celled life form, to the first animals to move out from the sea and onto land, to the first creatures to take flight. Revisiting one of Earth’s longest-lived dynasties, the dinosaurs, viewers will bear witness to the cataclysmic downfall that led to the age of the mammals and the rise of the most dangerous animal the earth has ever seen: us. As it traces our lineage across this epic journey, Life on Our Planet underscores our unique status as the only species in the four billion-year story of life to understand what is happening to our world and what is needed to put it right. But whatever future awaits, the past reminds us that life has always found a way.
Life on Our Planet is out streaming now on Netflix.

Director Jessica Yu buzzes in to chat about BTS (the K-Pop grou) easter eggs, sibling fights, pragmatic parents, chicken facts, and her new film Quiz Lady.
More about Jessica Yu:
She is an Oscar and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker working in various genres. She was nominated for an Emmy and a DGA Award for “Fosse/Verdon.” The first Asian American woman to direct a network drama pilot, Yu’s series work includes “The Morning Show,” “This is Us,” “Billions,” “Hollywood,” “13 Reasons Why,” “The Affair,” “American Crime,” “Lady Dynamite,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “The West Wing.” She also directed Maria Bamford’s Netflix special, “Old Baby.” She recently directed on the Amazon series, “Citadel” and the premiere episode of the current season of “American Horror Story.”

In the original film, a brilliant but tightly wound, gameshow-obsessed young woman, Anne (Awkwafina), and her estranged, train-wreck of a sister Jenny (Sandra Oh), must work together to help cover their mother’s gambling debts. When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped, they set out on a wild, cross-country trek to get the cash the only way they know how: by turning Anne into a bona fide gameshow champion. The movie, which also stars Jason Schwartzman, Holland Taylor, Tony Hale, and Will Ferrell, is directed by Jessica Yu, written by Jen D’Angelo, and produced by Will Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, Maggie Haskins, Itay Reiss, Jen D’Angelo, Awkwafina, and Sandra Oh, with Alex Brown and Erika Hampson serving as executive producers.

Writer / Director Savanah Leaf and star Tia Nomore discuss their new film, Earth Mama, the importance of found family, media representation, and the challenges of recreating an Oakland sideshow.
More about Earth Mama
With two children in foster care, Gia, a pregnant single mother pitted against the system, fights to reclaim her family. In her close-knit Bay Area community, she works to make a life for herself and her kids, in this singular debut feature from filmmaker Savanah Leaf. A glowing breakout at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
Starring Tia Nomore, Erika Alexander, Doechii, and Dominic Fike.
More about Savanah Leaf
Savanah Leaf is an Olympian and award-winning filmmaker, whose work weaves magical realism with poignant social commentary. Her latest film The Heart Still Hums (2020) is a short documentary following the stories of five women as they fight for their children through the cycle of homelessness, drug addiction and neglect from their own parents. The film won Best Documentary Short at the Palm Springs International ShortFest, BlackStar Film Festival and Nashville Film Festival and was released with Fox Searchlight Shorts. Her music video ‘This Land’ for Gary Clark Jr. was nominated for Best Music Video at the 2020 Grammys. Other recent films include: ‘What’s Going On’, a film made for Marvin Gaye’s 1971 hit song, commissioned by Universal Music’s ‘Never Made’ series, ‘Dream’, a film set to Nikki Giovanni’s poem and Flying Lotus’ music, commissioned by the 2020 Biden/Harris campaign; ‘We Matter Too’, a Webby and Shots award-winning animated visualization of phone calls she conducted with incarcerated people during the COVID-19 Pandemic, commissioned by rapper Common, the ARC and ACLU.
More about Tia Nomore
Coming up in cypher circles and freestyle battle arenas, Tia Nomore forced her entry into hip-hop’s boys club. The 28-year-old’s claim as Oakland rap’s little sister started as a teenager when she would jump into her older brother’s rap circles and ditch class to record G-funk- inspired hyphy music. Now a fully realized artist and experienced Oakland emcee with three records under her belt — 2019’s Level, 2018’s Gooney Tunes (alongside Bruh from Last Night and MVCK) and 2016 Halloween— Tia’s fiery wits, lyrical dismantling and command for respect, continue to bring her to new bold artistic territory. The past two years have seen her sharing stages with Princess Nokia and Smino, and releasing singles “DRIP” and “Skirmish,” two addictive collaborations with fellow Town girl and rapper Stoni.
Earth Mama is in theaters now.

Last but certainly not least of our Nimona interviews is Eugene Lee Yang who chats about early representation (shout out to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), casting against type, and queer love stories.
More about Nimona
When Ballister Boldheart, a knight in a futuristic medieval world, is framed for a crime he didn't commit, the only one who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona, a mischievous teen with a taste for mayhem — who also happens to be a shapeshifting creature Ballister has been trained to destroy. But with the entire kingdom out to get him, Nimona’s the best (or technically the only) sidekick Ballister can hope for. And as the lines between heroes, villains, and monsters start to blur, the two of them set out to wreak serious havoc — for Ballister to clear his name once and for all, and for Nimona to…just wreak serious havoc.
Directed by Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, NIMONA is an epic tale about finding friendship in the most surprising situations and accepting yourself and others for who they are. Based on the National Book Award-nominated, New York Times best-selling graphic novel by ND Stevenson.
Starring: Chloë Grace Moretz, Riz Ahmed, Eugene Lee Yang, Frances Conroy, Lorraine Toussaint, Beck Bennett, Indya Moore, RuPaul Charles , Julio Torres, Sarah Sherman

We had the chance to sit down with Everett Downing and Patrick Harpin, the co-creators of the new Netflix series “My Dad the Bounty Hunter” and chat about about role models, mixing styles, and dimbos (aka dad himbos)
More about My Dad The Bounty Hunter:
It's an animated action-comedy series following close-knit siblings Lisa and Sean, who stow away on their dad’s latest work trip, hoping to finally get some quality time together. Little do they know Dad’s been keeping a secret from them — he’s actually the toughest bounty hunter in the galaxy! Launched into the surprise space adventure of a lifetime, Lisa and Sean discover that their seemingly average dad’s job is anything but boring. Dodging dangerous aliens, robots, and laser fights galore, family bonding time becomes much more than they bargained for as they try to help their dad in pursuit of his toughest fugitive yet. With his kids along for the ride, Dad must show up for them when they need it most — and they’d better make it home before Mom finds out! From Creators and Executive Producers Everett Downing and Patrick Harpin, MY DAD THE BOUNTY HUNTER is a warp-speed adventure across the constellation of ups, downs and moments in between that shape family life.
Starring: Laz Alonso, Yvonne Orji, Priah Ferguson, Yvette Nicole Brown, JeCobi Swain, Leslie Uggams, Rob Riggle, Jim Rash, and Jamie Chung.
“My Dad the Bounty Hunter” premieres on Netflix on February 9th. Netflix.com/MyDadTheBountyHunter

One of the most prolific actors of all time, James Hong, drops by to chat about Wendell & Wild, career risks, AAPI representation, and special skills.
More about Wendell & Wild:
From the delightfully wicked minds of Henry Selick and producer Jordan Peele, comes Wendell & Wild, an animated tale about scheming demon brothers Wendell and Wild - who enlist the aid of Kat Elliot - a tough teen with a load of guilt - to summon them to the Land of the Living. But what Kat demands in return leads to a brilliantly bizarre and comedic adventure like no other, an animated fantasy that defies the law of life and death, all told through the handmade artistry of stop motion.
Starring: Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key, Angela Bassett, James Hong, Ving Rhames, Lyric Ross, Tamara Smart, Ramona Young, Sam Zelaya, Tantoo Cardinal.
More about James Hong:
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, James Hong has over 650 credits to his name. He starred in Big Trouble in Little China, Blade Runner, Mulan, Kunf Fu Panda, and most recently Everything Everywhere All at Once. He is the co-founder of East West Players, the first Asian American theater organization.

From the delightfully wicked minds of Henry Selick and producer Jordan Peele, comes Wendell & Wild, an animated tale about scheming demon brothers Wendell and Wild - who enlist the aid of Kat Elliot - a tough teen with a load of guilt - to summon them to the Land of the Living. But what Kat demands in return leads to a brilliantly bizarre and comedic adventure like no other, an animated fantasy that defies the law of life and death, all told through the handmade artistry of stop motion.
Starring: Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key, Angela Bassett, James Hong, Ving Rhames, Lyric Ross, Tamara Smart, Ramona Young, Sam Zelaya, Tantoo Cardinal.
More about Henry Selick:
He is the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, and Coraline.

Welcome Katelyn Monroe Howes to chat about her new book The Awoken, literally experiencing death, cryogenics, shifting moralities, and two films that inspired it: 12 Monkeys and Children of Men. Also a 15 year+ long secret is revealed that could be friendship breaking, plus wine stemware?
More about The Awoken:
When Alabine Rivers, a politically active young woman with a bright career and romance ahead of her, finds out the devastating news that she has terminal cancer, the only thing that gives her solace is the possibility of a second life through the emerging field of cryogenics.
A century later, scientists have indeed discovered how to bring back the dead from preservation, but humanity has been locked in a philosophical battle over the ethics of this new Godlike power, a battle that has turned violent: those who are resurrected, the Awoken, have been declared illegal and are to be shot on sight.
This is the world Alabine is brought into by the Resurrectionists, an underground militia fighting for the rights of the Awoken. Finding herself in a completely unfamiliar world, and one where she is an outsider for the first time in her life, Alabine must figure out how to survive and determine her place in this new world, all the while being haunted by lucid memories of her previous life and the man she loved.
More about Katelyn Monroe Howes:
She is an LA based award-winning writer and Emmy-nominated documentarian. An Atlanta native and alum of NYU, Katelyn co-founded 1/27 PICTURES, a documentary production company. Her work often tackles systemic inequities and combats uninformed bias as she strives to tell stories that upend the status quo.

The Boys are back for season 3 and more extreme than ever (which is hard to do considering the society they're mirroring is even more unhinged than one would think possible). We chatted quickly with Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Chase Crawford, Claudia Doumit, and head writer Eric Kripke.
More about The Boys Season 3
It’s been a year of calm. Homelander’s subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone. So when The Boys learn of a mysterious Anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into the Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy.

Welcome Domee Shi and Lindsey Collins to talk about first crushes, embarrassing teenage stories, complicated family dynamics, and of course their new Pixar film: Turning Red.
More about Turning Red
Young actress Rosalie Chiang lends her voice to Mei Lee, a 13-year-old who suddenly “poofs” into a giant red panda when she gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS). Sandra Oh voices Mei Lee’s protective, if not slightly overbearing mother, Ming, who is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager.
More about Domee Shi
Domeebegan as a story intern at Pixar Animation Studios in June 2011, and was soon hired as a story artist on the Academy Award®–winning feature film “Inside Out.” Since then she has worked on the feature films “The Good Dinosaur,” “Incredibles 2” and the Academy Award–winning “Toy Story 4.” In 2015 she began pitching ideas for short films, and soon was green-lit to write and direct “Bao,” which won an Academy Award for best animated short film. In her role as a creative VP, Shi is involved in key creative decision-making at the studio and consults on films in both development and production.
Shi was born in Chongqing, China, and resided in Toronto, Canada, for most of her life. She currently lives in Oakland, Calif., and notes that her love of animation is only rivaled by her love of cats.
More about Lindsey Collins
Lindseyjoined Pixar Animation Studios in May 1997. She has since worked in various capacities on a number of Pixar’s feature films. Collins’ film credits include “A Bug’s Life,” “Toy Story 2” and the Academy Award®–winning “Finding Nemo” and “Ratatouille.” Collins also provided the voice of the character Mia in Pixar’s 2006 release “Cars.”

Welcome Lindsey Olivares to chat about specificity in design, the art of caricature, clarity in comedy, and production and character designing for The Mitchells vs. The Machines.
More about The Mitchells vs the Machines
From the humans who brought you the Academy Award®-winning Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse and The LEGO Movie comes The Mitchells vs. The Machines, an animated action-comedy about an ordinary family who find themselves in the middle of their biggest family challenge yet…saving the world from the robot apocalypse. No big deal, right? It all starts when creative outsider Katie Mitchell is accepted into the film school of her dreams and is eager to leave home and find “her people,” when her nature-loving dad insists on having the whole family drive her to school and bond during one last totally not-awkward-or-forced road trip. But just when the trip can’t get any worse, the family suddenly finds itself in the middle of the robot uprising! Everything from smart phones, to roombas, to evil Furbys are employed to capture every human on the planet. Now it’s up to the Mitchells, including upbeat mom Linda, quirky little brother Aaron, their squishy pug, Monchi, and two friendly, but simple minded robots to save humanity.
More about Lindsey Olivares
She is the production designer and lead character designer on Sony Pictures Animation's Academy Award®-nominated feature “The Mitchells vs. The Machines."
Before joining Sony Pictures Animation, Olivares worked as a freelance visual development artist and illustrator with a focus on character design and caricature.

On the occasion of the death of its beloved Kansas-born editor Arthur Howitzer, Jr., the staff of The French Dispatch, a widely circulated American magazine based in the French city of Ennui-sur-Blasé, convenes to write his obituary. Memories of Howitzer flow into the creation of four stories: a travelogue of the seediest sections of the city itself from The Cycling Reporter; “The Concrete Masterpiece,” about a criminally insane painter, his guard and muse, and his ravenous dealers; “Revisions to a Manifesto,” a chronicle of love and death on the barricades at the height of student revolt; and “The Private Dining Room of the Police Commissioner,” a suspenseful tale of drugs, kidnapping and fine dining.

Turns out one of us is a not so closeted LuLaRoe shopper?! We watched both LuLaRich and The Eyes of Tammy Faye in the same week which means it's time to talk about: MLMs, pyramid schemes, the prosperity gospel, gender gaps in wages, artificial scarcity, and more! Also the 2021 Emmys were disappointingly devoid of color (once again).

It's impressive that Clint Eastwood is alive and capable enough of making a movie at 91 years old, but at this point who is his audience with Cry Macho? Eastwood may give an unintentionally wooden performance in Cry Macho but at least Dan Stevens delivers an intentionally semi-robotic and fully romantic one in Germany's Academy Award entry, I'm Your Man (Ich bin dein Mensch), from Unorthodox director Maria Schrader.

Welcome director Kirk DeMicco for the new animated film Vivo. We chat about balancing visuals and music in a musical film, life regrets, cookies, and career trajectories.
More about Vivo:
Vivo follows a one-of-kind kinkajou (aka a rainforest “honey bear,” voiced by Miranda), who spends his days playing music to the crowds in a lively Havana square with his beloved owner Andrés (Buena Vista Social Club’s Juan de Marcos). Though they may not speak the same language, Vivo and Andrés are the perfect duo through their common love of music. But when tragedy strikes shortly after Andrés receives a letter from the famous Marta Sandoval (three-time Grammy-winning Latin pop legend Gloria Estefan), inviting her old partner to her farewell concert in Miami with the hope of reconnecting, it’s up to Vivo to deliver a message that Andrés never could: A love letter to Marta, written long ago, in the form of a song. Yet in order to get to the distant shores of Miami, Vivo will need to accept the help of Gabi (newcomer Ynairaly Simo) – an energetic tween who bounces to the beat of her own offbeat drum.
More about Kirk:
In 2017, Kirk was a creative consultant on Sony Pictures Animation’s “The Star.” Prior to joining Sony Pictures Animation, Kirk wrote and co-directed DreamWorks Animation’s “The Croods,” which was nominated for the 2013 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. He made his directorial debut in 2008 with VanGuard Animation’s “Space Chimps,” which he also wrote. In addition to many writing credits in both TV and film, Kirk has been fortunate enough to adapt the work of many of his writing heroes such as: Roald Dahl, Jack Kirby and Elmore Leonard, and had the great opportunity to co-write two scripts with comedy legend John Cleese. Kirk was born and raised in Wyckoff, New Jersey and attended University of Southern California where he graduated in 1991 with a degree in economics and political science. He then spent three years in Italy as a journalist for an Italian film-business magazine before moving back to the United States to work for the William Morris Agency in New York City and Los Angeles.

Welcome director Mike Rianda to chat about the power and perils of feedback, first films, explaining working in animation to your family, and of course his feature directorial debut, The Mitchells vs. The Machines.
More about The Mitchells vs the Machines
From the humans who brought you the Academy Award®-winning Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse and The LEGO Movie comes The Mitchells vs. The Machines, an animated action-comedy about an ordinary family who find themselves in the middle of their biggest family challenge yet…saving the world from the robot apocalypse. No big deal, right? It all starts when creative outsider Katie Mitchell is accepted into the film school of her dreams and is eager to leave home and find “her people,” when her nature-loving dad insists on having the whole family drive her to school and bond during one last totally not-awkward-or-forced road trip. But just when the trip can’t get any worse, the family suddenly finds itself in the middle of the robot uprising! Everything from smart phones, to roombas, to evil Furbys are employed to capture every human on the planet. Now it’s up to the Mitchells, including upbeat mom Linda, quirky little brother Aaron, their squishy pug, Monchi, and two friendly, but simple minded robots to save humanity.
Directed by Michael Rianda (Gravity Falls), produced by Oscar® winners Phil Lord and Chris Miller, and Kurt Albrecht, and featuring the voices of Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Beck Bennett, Fred Armisen, Eric Andre, and Oscar winner Olivia Colman, The Mitchells vs. The Machines is about embracing the things that make us unique, learning what it means to be human in a world increasingly filled with technology, and holding tight to the people most important to you when the unexpected hits.

We welcome Academy Award nominated director Erick Oh (on the week of the 93rd Academy Awards!) to talk about his short animated film Opera and how it sits at the intersection of film and fine art. Also the state of the animation industry, Asian / AAPI representation, and what it's really like to have a wholly independent film suddenly recognized on a global scale.
Opera‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” – George Santayana
Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker and former Pixar animator Erick Oh, ‘OPERA’ is an animation project that can be defined as a contemporary animated edition of the Renaissance fresco mural paintings. Driven by the spirits of Bosch, Michelangelo, Botticelli and more, Erick portrays, in his own signature whimsical and surreal way, the human society and history, filled with beauty and absurdity. Viewers will experience the range in-depth emotions through this epic reflection of human life: it is hopeful, comical, thoughtful, yet scary and sad. This piece is not only a living piece of art, it is an invitation to question the mechanisms of our society and human behavior. The universality of its message will inspire new perspectives on humanity and break down conversations. The full cycle of ‘OPERA’ consists of Day and Night. Each section and individual character’s activities are intrinsically connected so the viewers can eventually enjoy the entire pyramid no matter which character they set their eyes on first.

Minari might be the perfect film to watch during this horrid wave of Anti-Asian and Anti-Asian American crime in the US to help others understand that we're not different, we're all human. Then there's the visually unsettling and unnecessary Tom & Jerry to consider.

Find out why Jacque, Matt, and THEDHK chose Ever After, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and P.S. I Love You.

Things are getting weird on WandaVision Episode 04 and Matt is convinced we're getting Doctor Doom. Jacque lays down her verdict on disability inspiration films via Penguin Bloom. Justin Timberlake fails to impress in Palmer. Finally we don't understand what the point of isolating out the drama of RuPaul's Drag Race to Untucked is when there's already so much filler in the main episode.

Three Academy Award winners do not an interesting film make in the crime thriller The Little Things. Justin Timberlake tries to put his progressive acting hat on in Palmer. Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes dig up some dirt (but not the interesting kind) in The Dig. Finally, Naomi Watts is wheelchair bound (but certainly not Oscar bound) in Penguin Bloom.

In spite of a stellar cast Armando Iannucci's The Personal History of David Copperfield fails to make the Dickens classic widely watchable. Guy Pearce tries to give an artistic rendering of a World War 2 art crime thriller in The Last Vermeer but lays it on too thick.

A bevy of films to review this week. Borat returns to the big screen for the first time in 14 years and it is as cringe (in a good way) as ever in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (our review is spoiler free).
Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray reunite in On the Rocks but something of the spark got left in Lost in Translation.
Rebecca offers zero improvement over the Hitchcock version - and zero chemistry.
Roald Dahl's The Witches has huge names behind it but is ultimately not very fun.
Finally Over the Moon had the potential to be something stellar, but falls short.

Aaron Sorkin is back in the directing chair (don’t worry he’s still writing too) with the timely The Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix.
More about The Trial of the Chicago 7: What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest — including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale — were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious in history. Eddie Redmayne, Alex Sharp, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jeremy Stron, John Carroll Lynch, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Mark Rylance, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Shenkman, Frank Langella, and Michael Keaton star.

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt continue their ongoing Spider-Man and MCU speculation - now with the news that the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Doctor Strange, will probably be joining the next film. They also watched the unintentional horror film The Lie. Finally disability, accessibility and representation are all up discussion for after watching Netflix's Deaf U.

The War with Grandpa wastes a perfectly good geriatric cast (led by Robert De Niro). The only scary thing about the Blumhouse film The Lie is how bad it is.

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt have to ask why of all the Spider-Man villains they're bringing back Jamie Foxx's Electro? They trudged through the Gloria Steinem biography, The Glorias. Were hostage to the antiquated adaptation/remake, The Boys in the Band. They all also managed to hate binge watch all of Emily in Paris on Netflix...

The Glorias brings Gloria Steinem's stories to the screen. A Call to Spy tells an important story that deserves a better platform. The Boys in the Band brings a probably outdated play to the screen but doesn't take advantage of the increased flexibility. Emily in Paris is an escapist dream for basic girls everywhere.

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt are stoked about the news that Samuel L. Jackson is bringing Nick Fury to the streaming screen. They are not at all amused by L.A. Comic Con thinking that having an in person event this year is a good idea. Also they're watching Enola Holmes on Netflix, starring Millie Bobby Brown

Enola Holmes is a charming headlining debut for Millie Bobby Brown. The Devil All the Time is a star studded back woods thriller, that while disjointed, was still watchable. Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles tries to jam too many flavors into one cinematic recipe.

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt reunite to see how their Emmys picks went and to discuss: the Janelle Monáe led Antebellum, the Ridley Scott series Raised by Wolves, to rejoice over the news of Tatiana Maslany being cast as She-Hulk, ponder the wonders of Wandavision, and take a trip to the world of Paris with the new Paris Hilton documentary This is Paris. The documentary ended up being a surprisingly honest look into the loneliness that is influencer-hood.

Antebellum delivers sloppy "horror" if you can even call it that, Kajillionaire is full of "characters" and The Way I See It is a timely look back at what it was like to have a real President of the United States (through the lens of Obama White House photographer, Pete Souza).

THEDHK, Jacque, and Matt reunite to predict the 72nd Emmy Awards. How is it that only a handful of shows dominate every year? Do we care about half the categories? What even are the categories? Which droid do we think deserves an Emmy? Hint: there's only one nominated.

IFC Midnight's Rent-a-Pal has surprising warm (but then delivers on the weird). You also should absolutely be watching The Boys on Amazon Prime Video and The Vow on HBO.

Did qi undermine any feminist intentions in Mulan? Did Matt really drive 4+ hours to see The New Mutants? How do we bring the X-Men into the existing MCU? Finally do we REALLY need another Bruce Wayne as Batman film? THEDHK, Jacque and Matt all gather (digitally) to discuss!

While Mulan should have come out in theaters - it's probably worth a stream, meanwhile The New Mutants shouldn't have come out at all.

It's the very first episode of "We're Watching What?! We're watching two blasts from the past and one... something or another this week with Bill and Ted Face the Music, Get Duked and You Cannot Kill David Arquette.
- Bill and Ted are back but I don't know if I'd call their return fully excellent.
- Get Duked might be appealing if you're a 15 year old Scottish or British school boy, but aside from that it has limited appeal.
- Take a fascinating peek behind the wrestling curtain and find out about the rise, fall, and rise again of David Arquette (yes that one) as a wrestler.
