Friend of the show and multi-hyphenate artist Rafael Casal returns just in time to celebrate the release of the inaugural The Bay List! He shares how they chose the top 10 scripts from over one thousand applicants, the significance of this project being done in the Bay, and why he's more inspired than ever to create.

Then we dive into his most recent work on FX's The Lowdown, some of our favorite shows, and our collective excitement over New York's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

Welcome to Flashback Friday, we're bringing you a film that we covered for the Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco that is now available in select theaters near you!

Lesbian Space Princess is an animated film about a space princess who is thrust out of her sheltered life into a galactic quest to save her bounty hunter ex-girlfriend from the Straight White Maliens. Co-directors/co-writers Emma Hough Hobbs and (return guest) Leela Varghese join us to laugh about their spectacular lesbian pun making abilities, their thoughts on whether scrapbooks are a good gift for a significant other, and their continued work with the talented Shabana Azeez.

We were so excited to chat with return guest Shabana Azeez about one of our favorite shows of the year, The Pitt! We talk activism, mental health, and how she had to study up on American culture (she's originally from Adelaide, Australia). Then we dive into whether Noah Wiley is hot (spoiler: he is), how she accidentally went viral on social media, and which actor made her fall to her knees when she met them.

Director Geeta Gandbhir has made a revolutionary piece of work with her newest film, The Perfect Neighbor. The documentary uses police bodycam footage to show how minor disagreements between neighbors takes a lethal turn. Geeta joins us virtually to discuss her advocacy against "Stand Your Ground" laws, our desperate need for gun reform, and how this film can be both a training tool for the police, and a catalyst for change.

The Perfect Neighbor is streaming in Netflix right now!

Sometimes we interview people and become friends at first Zoom! Julie Seabaugh is the producer/story editor behind the new Marc Maron documentary "Are We Good?", chronicling the iconic comedian and podcasters' struggle with grief and return to comedy after the sudden loss of his partner during the pandemic. After waxing poetic about Bridget Everett's boobs, we discuss how she gained Marc Maron's trust to make this documentary, her first (and last) attempt at stand-up comedy, an instrumental night more than 20 years ago with Dave Attell and too much Jager that caused her to fall in love with comedy, and the genius of Janeane Garofalo.

Are We Good? is out in select theaters now! Click here for more info
