Susan Lieu is a performer, writer, and comedian, with the special ability to make you laugh and cry in the same breath. She joins us to discuss her memoir, The Manicurist's Daughter, that takes you through her life as the daughter of immigrants who loses her mother at a young age due to a botched tummy tuck. This amazing conversation covers everything from generational trauma to stand-up comedy, and channeling spirits to a love letter to Sizzler. A big thanks to Susan for teaching us how to live like we're mortal, and make peace with our belly fat! Now, who's down for some Sizzler?

It's been almost two months since our last Basic Bitch, and for two bitches that took a "month off", we were both busy AF! Find out how Ange learned about duck farts in Alaska, and which two exciting jobs Erin has added to her repertoire. Then they share some special event highlights from the Big Gay Supper Club at Hilda and Jesse (one of SF's best restaurants freshly minted with a Michelin Star), the intimate details behind W. Kamau Bell's newest live comedy show, joining Chef Catie Randazzo at the most beautiful Taco Bell in the world, and A Day of Film and Justice with the cast and crew of Sing Sing and Daughters, hosted by The Just Trust. Phew. We don't know about you, but we could use another break...

The Bay List is official, ya'll! And you've come to the right place to find out all about it (how it was conceived, how it was formed, who it will help, and how it will work). We sit down with writer/director/actor (and one of our favorite return guests) Rafael Casal, and film and tv producer (and creator of the original Black List), Franklin Leonard, while at a Screenwriter's Salon event in Berkeley a few months ago. And now that it's live, we can finally share how excited we are for this opportunity for writers and creative folks in the Bay Area!

Not only will you hear how Rafa and Franklin first met and how the Bay List came to be, but you'll get some screenwriting tips, hear their thoughts on what has happened to the industry since last year's strike, learn how Rafa became obsessed with horses, and find out which movie from the 90s Franklin thinks never got the respect it deserves (and the non-surprising reason why).
