We are back to discuss this year's Oscars! Taylor Hemness joins us to talk about our favorite Oscar movies of the year, and what we think might win in the big categories.

We love horror films. So when you film a horror film in our favorite place (Kansas City), you might just blow our minds. "The Stylist" did just that and we were pleased as punch to talk to the brilliant mind behind it,  KC filmmaker, Jill Gevargizian. Feel free to fast forward through our mindless chatter on the new BeeGees biopic and why Tom and Jerry falls flat - we know Jill is the real star here. (SHE IS).

Star Wars and Sequels and Marvel, oh my! Disney just released a bunch of new shows that are coming in the next few years. As self-proclaimed Star Wars and Superhero nerds, it's right up our alley.

We talk about her documentary filmmaking career and her new film "Transhood" now available on HBOMax! 

Halloween 2020 is crazy. It's on a Saturday, in a pandemic, with a rare blue moon and an extra hour for fun built-in because of the time change.
