Bitch Talk

Send us a textFriend of the show (and IRL) Kimi Moon recently Zoomed with us to talk about starting a new career during the COVID pandemic. Kimi opened up about her personal trauma as a young person and after years of self medicating, not talking about the violence she endured, and pursuing dreams that weren't necessarily hers - she listened to the Universe and started the journey to get in touch with herself and her destiny.We thank Kimi for her honesty and for being forthcoming about her past. We understand that this conversation could cause triggers for those who have experienced domestic violence, but we hope that her story can inspire those who seek change in their lives. Thank you for listening and take care of yourselves. For more from Kimi, visit her website & online journal. Be well, stay safe, and thank you for wearing a mask .--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.b

Send us a textWelcome to Flash Back Friday! With 400+ episodes, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with our new listeners (and maybe new to our regular listeners).We chose this episode because it's timely for a couple of reasons. The biggest election of our lifetime is just around the corner, and our future next president is most likely going to nominate AT LEAST one new judge to the Supreme Court. And secondly, if you've been watching the Democratic National Convention, these talented ladies directed the mini profile of Dr. Jill Biden that introduced her keynote speech on day 2. Please tell everyone you know to not only vote, but vote as early as possible! For more info on absentee voting, click here.If you need some inspiration in your life you have GOT TO watch the documentary RBG which is about the honorable Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg (duh.) We had the pleasure of speaking with the directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen about their incredible film and unique access

Send us a textWe're taking you back to Sundance 2020 where we chatted with Michael Almereyda, director of the biographical drama, Tesla. This film chronicles the life of a young Nikola Tesla, through the eyes of Anne Morgan (the daughter of J.P. Morgan). He gets into how the screenplay evolved through the years, why now is the perfect time for this film to come out, what it was like working with powerhouse actors like Ethan Hawke, and why he chose to write it from the perspective of Anne Morgan.  Not only was he hilarious, he gives a shout out to Drunk History for helping with his historical research...same.Tesla is streaming Friday, August 21st.

Send us a textWelcome to Flash Back Friday! We're taking you back to July of 2018 when we interviewed director Kimberly Reed of the documentary Dark Money. With arguably the most important election of our lifetime looming in the near future, this topic remains relevant AF. FOLLOW THE MONEY. A term coined by the film All The President's Men back in 1976 and that has even more weight now. We sat down with filmmaker Kimberly Reed who's new film Dark Money will leave you thankful for filmmakers like her and journalists like John S. Adams  of the Montana Free Press. We follow John's work unveiling the impact of Citizen's United, and one state's fight for a fair democracy. Dark Money will force you to ask more questions about who is footing the bill of certain U.S. politicians - both Democrats and Republicans. This is a war like no other and we all must fight. Dark Money is streaming now on PBS.org and Amazon Prime.Be well, stay safe, and thank you for wearing a mask .--Buy us a cup of

Send us a textThe  new A24 film, Boys State is physically jarring and hopeful all at once.  It's a story of youth, how teenage boys talk about politics, how most of these boys are influenced by their parents politics, future change makers, and speaking from the heart.  It's a glimpse into our collective future, and as hard as it is to hear some of the boys talk about politics that are completely out of their lane, it's necessary for us to listen and digest. We get into the making of this film and more with our guest co-directors Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss, who also happen to be our "neighbors" here in San Francisco. It's a small world. We hope you stream this timely movie this Friday when it becomes available to Apple TV +. Be well, stay safe, and thank you for wearing a mask .--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 Insta

Send us a textWe're starting off the week with some Basic Bitching. We're still waiting for Uncle Joe (Biden) to pick his Vice Presidential candidate, stoked on the NRA lawsuit that the NY City Attorney General brought against the organization, the Warner Brothers film Judas and the Black Messiah, the show and podcast Dirty John, and more. Plus, did you know you can buy us a cup of coffee?  It's true!  P.S. We know it's been a harrowing 2020 and that times are not normal.

With 400+ episodes, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with our new listeners (and maybe new to our regular listeners).This week we're taking you back to CAAMFEST 2018, where we moderated the "Nothing on US: Pinays Rising" Q&A with director/MC Ruby Ibarra, co-director Evelyn Obamos, spoken word artist Faith Santillo, and creative director Dale Keano. It was a powerful conversation about being immigrant women, the power of mothers, and what it means to be Pinay.

Send us a textWe return to Park City for a Sundance Film Festival 2020 conversation with director Ramona Diaz and musician Ruby Ibarra from the documentary A Thousand Cuts.A Thousand Cuts is an important and timely documentary about the trials and tribulations of Maria Ressa, prominent journalist and founder of Rappler, the top online news site in the Philippines. Her criticism of the government, particularly under President Duterte's rule, has led to death threats, time in prison, and in June 2020 she was found guilty of cyber libel in the Philippines.  Her tenacity and fearless journalism is one of the reasons she was named Time Magazine's person of the year in 2018.  Director Ramona Diaz discusses the importance of this documentary, and the parallels between attacks on freedom of the press in both the Philippines and the US. Bay Area lyricist Ruby Ibarra  created an original song for the doc, and shares her thoughts on the importance of activism in this moment. This is a scary time. Watch this do

Send us a textWe're headed back to the Sundance Film Festival to share our interview with the filmmakers of the upcoming documentary The Fight, Elyese Steinberg and Eli B. Despres, and featured ACLU Voting Rights attorney (and Bay Area native!), Dale Ho. In this interview, we talk with the filmmakers about their incredible access to the ACLU attorneys and their history making cases, how they shot the film in real time, and for Dale, what it was like to have camera's follow you while arguing one of the biggest cases of his life.  The Fight was one of our favorite doc's of Sundance 2020 and probably one of the most timely to watch. The Fight comes out this Friday, July 31 and you can stream it through the Roxie Virtual Cinema.

Send us a textOne of the highlights of Sundance 2020 was this chat with Ron Howard, director of the documentary, Rebuilding Paradise. This is a powerful documentary about the fires that raged across the Northern California town of Paradise, California in 2018. As residents of the Bay Area who lived through the effects of this tragedy, we were especially moved by this film. Ron discusses how he picked this story, what he learned about the community in Paradise, and what it was like sifting through painful real life footage. Rebuilding Paradise will be opening digitally and in select theaters on July 31st.

Send us a textWelcome back to the Sundance Film Festival 2020, where we were thrilled to be part of the red carpet event for the Go-Go's self titled documentary.

Send us a textThe documentary The Fight  -  (about  a scrappy team of heroic ACLU lawyers in an electrifying battle over abortion rights, immigrant rights, LGBTQ rights and voting rights) comes out later this month.  We got to see the film for our initial interview at the Sundance Film Festival with filmmakers Elyse Steinberg, Eli Despres, and ACLU lawyer Dale Ho - and as we'd like to say, we 100% fangirled over Dale. He is truly an American hero - fighting for our voting rights everyday. Also, as we found out, Dale is from the Bay Area, so that made him a million times cooler in our book. So, what do you do while you're sheltering-in-place and  have some time on your hands? You reach out to the ACLU Director of Voting Rights Project (and Oakland A's fan) to come back on your show to talk about what he's been up to since we last saw him. We're so lucky he said yes, and to be honest, he recorded this episode while he was on a getaway with his family. The guy is literally saving our cou
