    We're on location for this Basic Bitch at one of our Bay Area happy places, The Marshall Store. What better way to celebrate the passing of an evil politician than with oysters and champagne, amirite? We imagine the horniness of a Sade concert, share Ange's matinee tips, find out what really happened during Erin's semester abroad in Italy, and say from the bottom of our hearts "FUCK THE GIANTS".

    Shaping Legacy is a multi-year commitment to critically examine the monuments and memorials in San Francisco’s Civic Art collection. ​It is a chance to rectify current power imbalances, engage communities that have historically been excluded from discussions, and create opportunities for artist-led activations in public spaces that reimagine future monuments and memorials in our city.​

    We were excited to sit down with two badass bitches at the helm of this massive project, Angela Carrier, Senior Program Manager with the San Francisco Arts Commission, and Ellie Tumbuan, co-founder and managing partner of The Justice Collective, a social impact consultancy based in Oakland. We discuss collective healing, the power of being seen, and why San Francisco will always be a beacon for art and activism.

    We're celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Frameline Film Festival (the world's longest running and largest LGBTQIA film fest!) with two films that shine a light on hypocrisy in religion in very different ways.

    Hunky Jesus is a wildly entertaining documentary about the annual Hunky Jesus competition that takes place in Dolores Park in San Francisco on Easter Sunday (amen). Director Jennifer Kroot joins us to share her thoughts on the displacement of counter culture in San Francisco, overcoming religious trauma, and why the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are part of the heart and soul of San Francisco.

    Leviticus is a queer coming of age horror film that is meant to be seen on the big screen! Director/writer Adrian Chiarella and actor Joe Bird join us to discuss making an original story with bold ideas, an opening scene that pulls you in from the start, and how religion (and beyond) uses fear as a tool to divide.

    Hunky Jesus is screening on June 26th at the Castro Theater. For tickets, CLICK HERE!

    It's virtually impossible to encapsulate a conversation wth Boots Riley. From becoming an activist as a teenager, to getting a record deal while in school for filmmaking, his life is as fascinating as his body of work. And his newest film, I Love Boosters, is unlike anything you've seen before, and deepens his impact as a voice for the worker revolution. Let's just say you're not only going to be entertained and inspired by this conversation, you will also learn how Prince saved his life. You're welcome.

    It's time to celebrate Frameline's 50th anniversary (June 17th-27th), the longest running and largest LGBTQIA film festival in the world! We are proud to bring you two very different films that celebrate representation from international independent voices.

    At the Place of Ghosts is a trauma-centric horror film that follows two estranged brothers as they venture into the wilderness to exorcise a demon and confront the ghosts of the past in order to find healing and closure. We are joined by director Bretten Hannam to dive into the difficulties of filming in the middle of a dense forest, the importance of sharing the indigenous language, and the sibling dynamics and family secrets at the core of this film.

    Black Burns Fast is a sweet and awkward coming-of-age story about a scholarship student at an elite all girls' private school whose world is turned upside down when she forms a crush on the new girl in school. Director Sandulela Asanda shares why she wanted to share a lighthearted queer narrative, telling a story that she wanted to see as a kid, and how writing a letter to her 17-year-old self helped her write the screenplay.

    At the Place of Ghosts is screening on June 20th at the Roxie, get tickets HERE!

    Black Burns Fast is screening on June 19th at New Parkway and June 26th at the Roxie, get tickets HERE!

    Happy Pride Month!

    This is a very special episode recorded live at KALW, a Bay Area public radio station where Erin is a freelance audio journalist. Jeff Hiller was in San Francisco for an event to promote his memoir Actress of a Certain Age: My Twenty-Year Trail to Overnight Success, and he joins Erin in front of a live audience to dish some behind the scenes stories on his epic Emmy win for Somebody Somewhere, why NPR's Terry Gross punked the cover photo of his book, what happened when he came out to his parents, why improv is revolutionary, and so...much...more!

    We're back with another Basic Bitch and we've got a lot to get off our chest! From the upcoming election on June 2nd, our new obsession for memory games, the return of the WNBA (GO VALKS!), and the reason for our newly dubbed "Jeff Hiller Day", this one is all about things that are bringing us joy...and a couple of things that are pissing us off (because, duh).

    We are celebrating the 69th San Francisco International Film Festival with a film that celebrates love, friendship, and living a life outside of the box.

    Yo (Love is a Rebellious Bird) is a documentary that honors the life of co-director Anna Fitch's friend, Yo. Through interviews captured in the final years of Yo's life, and a mini recreation of Yo's home, Anna is able to process her grief and celebrate their once in a lifetime friendship. Anna joins us to discuss how Yo taught her to accept herself, the beauty of expressing grief through art, and why Yo recommended recording the most intimate scene in the film.

    Kate Schatz is a feminist author, activist, public speaker, and radical history lover. Her newest book, Where the Girls Were, is a historical novel about a pregnant teenager being sent to a home for unwed mothers in late 1960s San Francisco. We sit down to discuss this book being inspired by her mother's story, how she is doing the work to fight racism, watching The Pitt as a form of parenting (warning: this episode contains The Pitt season 2 spoilers), and why she loves collaborating with amazing folks like Miriam Klein Stahl and W. Kamau Bell.

    *Warning, this episode contains a conversation about suicide.*

    In honor of Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Month, we're sharing some interviews from a really special event that we participated in back in November, the fifth annual Pinayista Summit hosted by Make it Mariko. Pinayista is a vibrant community of Filipino women entrepreneurs and creative solopreneurs with a mission to build sisterhood in the hustle, and we were invited to be part of a panel called "Turn Up the Volume: Pinays in Music & Media". It was a day full of inspiration, connection, and Filipino love.

    First we sit down with Gina Mariko Rosales (Founder and Event Producer for Pinayista and Make it Mariko) and her mother Lillian Rosales for a beautiful discussion about intergenerational healing, and then you'll hear from Lisa Angulo Reid (CEO & Co-Founder of Dear Flor) on the importance of owning our own businesses, followed by Chef Charleen Caabay (CEO & Co-Founder, Culinary Creative Entrepreneur, and first Filipino-American female chef to win Food Network's Chopped) on the beauty of Filipino food and grief as a part of growth, and we cap it off with LadyRAY (former radio personality for 106.1 KMEL and Community Engagement Director) on community and women in media.
