As promised, the final episode of festival month is our interview with three of the people responsible for bringing the inspiring independent film âBatterseaâ to life. T.J. Sandella & Jad Adkins wrote, directed, and produced the film together, it being the culmination of over ten years of writing and dreaming for the long-time friends. Battersea is their first feature film. Jesse Howland, who hails from our very own North Carolina, plays the male lead in the film - Les. He has been active in LA since he graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 2016, appearing in both tv and film.
A big shoutout to the RiverRun International Film Festival for bringing amazing films like this one to Winston Salem!

One year ago today, when we were still known as âThe Irreverent Nerdsâ and Laura had not yet joined our show, Will and Richard sat down to discuss The Simpsons. We hope you enjoy this re-release as you wait for season 6 to kick off in January.
We finally did it! We covered The Simpsons! Obviously, there is no way we could do justice to the hundreds of episodes released through the years, so we decided to zoom in on a handful of Christmas episodes. We also talk about how Matt Groening and the other Simpsons writers handle religion, our first experiences with the series, and more. Join us!**The holidays can be a difficult time for many people. If you or someone you know is battling suicidal thoughts and feelings, please reach out for help. You can call 988 to reach someone now at the national Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
