In today's episode, Kris Flink and I talk with Trina Griffin, founder of Rising Reels, a non-profit organization designed to provide young, aspiring BIPOC filmmakers an opportunity to learn their craft and develop their creative voices. Additionally we discuss our love of the shows Mythbusters, Bones, House, Nip/Tuck as well as the movies Rogue One, South Park Bigger Longer Uncut, and Black Panther. We also gush about Hugh Laurie, Jordan Peele, Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan, and Boots Riley.
