Beck kicks off this ep by asking Shai and Lily some questions about “True Detective: Night Country” (MAX), which she is too afraid to watch without covering her face so she is slightly confused. Shai then asks Beck some questions about “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” (Amazon Prime), since he was tricked into watching A Marriage Story but with spies. We then chat about other things we’ve been watching like “The Gentlemen”, “Alpha Males”, the n...
Stand-up comic Tori Piskin joins the pod to talk about her comedy special “Prettiest Girl at the Special School” (YouTube) and her hilarious podcast “Got it From My Mama”, which she co-hosts with her mom Lulu.

Director Jonathan Ignatius Green takes true crime documentaries to a new level with Dickweed, a film about a brutal crime, the relentless quest to find out whodunit, and the international manhunt that ensued. It's like a real-life Coen Brothers movie!

Switch Up is a heartfelt, and hilarious rom-com about a man who loses it all, only to renew his sense of purpose, and find family where he least expects. The film deals with loss, homelessness, and second chances, all while making the audience belly laugh. But even more delicious was sitting down with the Director Tara Pirnia and the cast: Cristian de la Fuente (Driven, Menorah in the Middle), Julieth Restrepo (Griselda), Shondrell...
