This week I had the opportunity to watch a wonderful independent film called Another Day in America and then interview the writer and director of the film, Emilio Mauro. Hopefully it will be released soon for you to all check it out. This film does cover an office shooting, so be prepared. It was great discussing his film and I hope you enjoy the episode.



Another Day in America synopsis from IMBd: Based on true events: 'Another Day in America' is a dark, radical comedy-drama that revolves around an ensemble of distinct characters as they each go through a post-pandemic day in an American office.

Welcome to season 8!!!! What better way to start the season than with a Matthew McConaughey film, and one I hadn't seen before.

In present-day London, 12-year-old Quinn watches as his mother wakes an enormous fire-breathing beast from its centuries-long slumber. Twenty years later, much of the world has been scarred by the beast and its offspring. As a fire chief, Quinn (Christian Bale) is responsible for warding off the beasts and keeping a community alive as they eke out a meager existence. Into their midst comes a hotshot American, Van Zan (Matthew McConaughey), who says he has a way to kill the beasts.
