There is no way to accurately describe to you how much fun we had talking to Lindsey and Joey--the duo responsible for the brilliant, funny, touching, insightful, crazy-smart film 'Party People.' We can't wait for you all to see this movie when it hits screens. Good Lord, these two are the absolute best.

Winner of the International Feature Audience Award at DIFF 2025, Happy as Larry is moving, funny story of a unsatisfied man out for one last adventure. It's a buddy movie, an existential exploration, and a deeply human film. What a great conversation with these guys. Watch out for this one...and watch out for every one involved.

Recorded before our DIFF adventures, this episode delves into two new A24 releases: Opus, and Death of A Unicorn. A24 having its own kind of flavor provided an interesting way to look at these two films. We also continue with our look at Amanda Kramer's filmography with the outstanding, and undersign, Ladyworld.
More DIFF interviews coming May 12.

Due West is a gut punch (in a good way) of a film. It's timely, relevant, and forces viewers to confront preconceived notions. We sat down with director Evan Miller as well as stars Adrianne Palicki and Henry Thomas. Enjoy the conversation.
