    Basic Bitching - Reinstate Renel, SXSW, Frankie Quinones, & Romantica

    Basic Bitching - Reinstate Renel, SXSW, Frankie Quinones, & Romantica

    Y'all,  it's been way too long  since our last official Basic Bitch. Needless to say, we have a lot of catching up to do! We give you our awards season highlights, an awkward story about Ange's trip to Zihuatanejo, Mexico, fundraising for Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, Erin's transformative experience at a Jon Batiste concert, the joy of seeing comedian Frankie Quinones live (and a cautionary tale about how not to act during a comedy show), and highlights from our time in Austin, Texas, for the SXSW Film Festival. And then we cap off our show with a call to action for a friend-of-the-show (and SF Giants PA announcer for the last 24 years) Renel Brooks-Moon.

    Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told with Executive Producers Jermaine Dupri and Uncle Luke, Director P. Frank Williams and Showrunner Geraldine Porras

    Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told with Executive Producers Jermaine Dupri and Uncle Luke, Director P. Frank Williams and Showrunner Geraldine Porras

    We're kicking off our SXSW 2024 coverage with a serious bang! Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told (streaming now on Hulu) is a documentary about the epic Atlanta street party (aka the "Black Woodstock") that took place in the 80s and 90s, and put Atlanta on the map as the epicenter of Black culture.

    This interview has a virtual lineup of heavy hitters, including EP/participant/hip-hop legend Jermaine Dupri, EP/participant/rapper/King of Freak Uncle Luke, EP/director P Frank Williams, and  Showrunner Geraldine Porras. We discuss the cultural significance of Freaknik, the party's original student organizers who never expected what it would turn into, revisiting classic hip-hop hits from the 90s, and what the next generation of hip-hop artists can learn from Freaknik's legacy.

    Float Director Sherren Lee

    Float Director Sherren Lee

    In the fictional film Float (streaming now on Amazon Prime!), a young woman unexpectedly falls in love with the small-town lifeguard who rescued her from drowning. Director Sherren Lee joins us via zoom to share how she adapted the story from a book by Kate Marchant and was able to make it her own, why being an immigrant from Taiwan helped her relate to the theme of belonging, and how a young boy selling pickles on the side of the road became a beloved character in the film.

    Recorded on our last day in Park City, Utah, we recap the Sundance and Slamdance Film festivals with our co-co-host and honorary bitch, John Wildman. We get into some R rated moments, behind the scenes etiquette (or lack thereof) at red carpets, talking Hall & Oates and Huey Lewis with the CEO of Netflix, and some highlights of our most memorable moments.

    Sundance 2024 - Frida and And So It Begins

    Sundance 2024 - Frida and And So It Begins

    This is our final Sundance Film Festival episode and we're ending it with two documentaries about and made by some badass women!

    Frida (now available on prime video!) is a deep dive into the iconic artist Frida Kahlo, told through her own words from diaries, essays, letters, and interviews. Director Carla Guiterrez explains what she learned about Frida through making this film, the significance of Mexico in the 1920s, and how she took creative risks to make Frida's art come to life.

    And So It Begins follows the 2022 Philippine election as Vice President Leni Robredo battles against Ferdinand Marcos Jr, son of the former Filipino dictator. Our incredible list of guests included director Ramona Diaz, journalist (and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate) Maria Ressa, and former Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo. We dive into revisionist history in Filipino politics, how Filipinos like to have a good time, and the power of disinformation in the age of social media.

    Sundance 2024 - DIG! XX and Realm of Satan

    Sundance 2024 - DIG! XX and Realm of Satan

    Today we're bringing you two documentaries from the Sundance Film Festival 2024 that explore alternative lifestyles.

    DIG! XX exposes the friendship and rivalry of two dueling bands, The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. In this 20th anniversary extended cut of the rock documentary DIG!, director/producer Ondi Timoner and producer/editor David Timoner (yes they're siblings!) share how they chose the additional 40+ minutes of footage, the fun and nostalgia that came with revisiting their experiences on the road 20 years later, and how it feels to introduce this story to a whole new audience.

    Realm of Satan is a portrait of the Church of Satan that follows Satanists in their daily lives. Director Scott Cummings explains his use of staged, portraiture style filming, why he likes to fuck with the audience, and the surprising connection between Tiki and Satanists.

I always enjoy listening to Bitch Talk, whether it's just the ladies chatting about the world (good or bad), the things they're up to, or interviewing amazing artists, filmmakers, and people doing great work. Their insights match their senses of humor. Bitch Talk is a treat.
