We also dive into the crazy details of our trip, including Erin's fiery crotch at the airport, bar hopping during a heatwave, how Ange's dad (who just passed away) kept popping up, and why we may need to move to Portland right now. --Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives Matter, and thank you for getting vaxxed.--Buy us a cup of coffee!Subscribe to our channel on YouTube for behind the scenes footage!Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Visit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen every other Thursday 9:30 - 10 am on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO Productions Support the showThanks for listening and for your support!

Send us a textHoney Parker really knows how to live! We rented her home in Park City, Utah, during our first adventure at Sundance, and the more we learned about her, the more we had to have her on the show. She started her career in advertising, and has since done stand-up comedy, competed in a sailing race (even though she cannot sail), started a podcast with her husband (CoupleCo: Working With Your Spouse for Fun & Profit), spends half the year traveling in an RV with her husband, and is now the author of not one, but 2 novels! We get into the importance of good lighting, loving New Orleans, the inspiration behind her first novel, Careful-ish, and the important reason behind turning the book into a series. This was a really fun chat, and we thank Honey for giving us some great tips on living, loving, laughing, and being careful-ish. You can follow Honey Parker on IG & Twitter  & FBYou can purchase Careful-ish and future novels hereYou can join the Careful-ish FB group hereListen to the CoupleCo

We talk with Bao about his involvement in the timely video Stop The Hatred    - a song that was written by MC Jin and Wyclef Jean who are also featured in the video.

Send us a textIt was our sincere pleasure having the co-creator, showrunner, actor (and East Bay native!) of the Starz TV show Blindspotting  - Rafael Casal back on the mic.

We're also stoked to continue our podcast relationship with Rafa. It's always a joy to have him on the show. Blindspotting TV series premieres Sunday, June 13 on STARZFollow Blindspotting TV on IG and TwitterFollow Rafael Casal on IG & Twitter--Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives

Send us a textWe had an amazing experience covering the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival, and we're bringing you all of the behind the scenes dirt! Find out how we ended up doing not one, but 2 interviews for 2 different films (The Fabulous Filipino Brothers, and Ricochet), which film left us pleasantly confused, which interview made one of us so nervous she couldn't focus, and what caused Erin to almost poop her pants (metaphorically...we think). Then we get into the story behind Captain Party missing the panel with Margaret Cho. This was a film festival for the books, and we are exhausted.

Send us a textWe're wrapping up our coverage of the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival with a powerful documentary, Because We Are Girls. Director Baljit Sangra, who also directed a short that preceded the documentary entitled Have You Forgotten Me, explains why it is so important to capture the lives and history of Asian immigrants, and in this case, in the form of a Punjabi family dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault. We get into how she dealt with filming the most intense scene of the film, the question of wether first generation children can ever find common ground with their immigrant parents, and how we are much more than just our trauma. This film shines a light on the unfair loopholes within the criminal justice system, the repercussions of sexual assault, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood.You can follow director Baljit Sangra on IG & Twitter--Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives Matter, and thank you for wearing a mask. --Buy us a cup of coffee!Subscri

Send us a textWe're celebrating Asian American history at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival, this time focusing on a documentary called The Race Epidemic. The history of racism against Asian Americans is something that has been hidden and erased from our history books, making a documentary like this more important than ever in this moment. We sat down with filmmakers Tony Shyu and Ron Wong about the evolution of this film, why certain words like "freedom" are triggering to people of color, how they decided which stories to choose, and their potential plans to turn this into a series. We thank them for telling these important stories, and hope this can eventually lead to the inclusion of Asian American history into our classrooms.You can follow The Race Epidemic on IG & FB & TwitterYou can follow director/writer Tony Shyu on IG & FB & Twitter--Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives Matter, and thank you for wearing a mask. --Buy us a cup of coffee!Su

Send us a textWe're virtually covering the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival, featuring the documentary Who Is Lun*na Menoh?   and the prolific Japanese artist herself, Lun*na Menoh, who Zooms with us to talk about her art, the question of what is reality, getting lost in the twists and turns of this film, and which art form she considers to bring her the most joy. This is a film that left us pleasantly confused, in the best way possible! And just like her art, she is an enigma, and we were just happy to be along for the ride.The film Who is Lun*na Menoh? will be screening at the upcoming   SF DocFest & Art of Brooklyn Film Festivals, be sure to keep up on their film website. You can follow the film Who is Lun*na Menoh? on IG & FB & TwitterYou can follow the artist Lun*na Menoh on IG & Twitter--Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives Matter, and thank you for wearing a mask. --Buy us a cup of coffee!Subscribe to our channel on YouTube for behind the scenes footage

Send us a textWe are back at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival and have a packed house this time around with director Patricio Ginelsa and stars April Absynth and Katrina Dimaranan from the long awaited sequel Lumpia with a Vengeance. We get into the creative ways to make lumpia on the go, having badass bitches as the hero and the villain, the importance of diversity and representation in this film, and the struggle to keep a straight face on a set of jokesters. Finally, Katrina dishes on the struggles of wearing two different colors of lipstick at the same time, and Patricio shares how Danny Trejo became part of the lumpia family. This was a fun conversation and we loved their energy!

Send us a textWe're at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival covering Legacy and Lineage, a series of shorts that highlights 5 Bay Area Asian American artists.

Send us a textWe're at the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM) Festival with part 2 of our coverage on the documentary Ricochet (if you haven't already, check out part 1 with director Chihiro Wimbush!). Matt Gonzalez is someone whose work we have followed (both as a trial lawyer and as a politician) in San Francisco for almost 20 years, and we were so excited to have him on the show to speak about his pivotal role in Ricochet. We get into the need for reform in immigration law, how the term sanctuary city has often been misunderstood, and why working on this case was so important for him. He also shares some insight into his 2003 run for SF Mayor against Gavin Newsom, his run for Vice President alongside Ralph Nader in 2008, and how art gives him balance.
