Filmmaker Chandler Levack joins the show to discuss her 2 new films, "Roommates" and "Mile End Kicks" both coming out on the same day.

First up, Roommates, an R-rated teen comedy produced by Adam Sandler and starring Sadie Sandler.

The film follows a naïve college freshman whose dream roommate situation quickly spirals into passive-aggressive chaos.

Levack talks about finding the balance between outrageous comedy and grounded character work, and collaborating with a stacked ensemble cast including Chloe East, Nick Kroll, Natasha Lyonne, Storm Reid, Carol Kane, Ivy Wolk, and Janeane Garofalo.

She also shares insights into the film's underlying themes of communication, boundaries, and personal growth.

We then shift to Mile End Kicks, a romantic comedy starring Barbie Ferreira as a young aspiring writer who moves to Montreal and finds herself entangled in the world of indie rock.

She discusses the film's visual style and her collaboration with Matt Johnson and Zapruder Films.

🎬 Roommates hits Netflix and Mile End Kicks arrives in theaters on April 17th, making for the perfect double feature #MileEndMates
