Come on down! Director C.J. Wallis joins us to talk about his film “Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much,” which tells the story of Ted Slauson, a math assessment test writer and “The Price Is Right” fanatic. From an early age, Slauson studied the prices of the show’s prizes, and even wrote software to help him memorize them. He eventually gets caught up in a controversy when one contestant gets a price a little too right. Plus: we discuss our love for comfort TV classics and needing to take a break from intense media content.Hosts: Eric Steuer and Jason BetrueGuest: C.J.

We speak with Bianca Stigter, director of "Three Minutes: A Lengthening." The documentary is a beautiful and devastating tribute to a Jewish community in Poland that was captured on film in 1938 and wiped out by the Nazi regime a year later. We also talk about Nathan Fielder's unique (and hard to describe) docuseries "The Rehearsal" and discuss memorable artifacts uncovered in record stores, flea markets, and neighbors' homes.Hosts: Jason Betrue and Eric SteuerGuest: Bianca StigterTheme music: Yalls (https://yalls.bandcamp.com) Send us a note at [email protected] Visit MovieMaker Magazine online: https://www.moviemaker.com Hosted on Acast.
