In this episode: New reports about Hollywood’s hiring practices show few gains for women.

Plus, my two top movies of 2022 - one a narrative film, and one a documentary - that I’d recommend you seek out.

You’ll hear my conversation with veteran Harry Turner, the subject of the incredibly moving documentary “Wildcat”.

But first, my interview with writer/director Sarah Polley. Her new movie, “Women Talking,” is a work of fiction. But I believe it holds many truths, especially in its powerful depiction of how women are marginalized, and what it really means to be a male ally. “Women Talking” is also a beautiful film to watch.

Support for this podcast is made possible by Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live.
