On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes author, screenwriter, and filmmaker Michael J. White to the pod! On tap in this week’s Bar Talk are the MLB All Star Game relocation, voter suppression in Georgia, and returning to food service amidst the COVID vaccine rollout. Mike takes us behind the scenes of his powerful film “Song Without a Name” from inception to production to the festival circuit, and dives into tackling the horrors and heartbreak of child trafficking. Mike and the fellas discuss what it means to be a Midwesterner and compare Midwestern celebrities to iconic albums from Jesse James’ “Appetite for Destruction” to “Live at Folsom Prison” with John Dillinger. Dave looks forward to eating pizzas from pop-up Pies Upstairs while he catches up on “The Great Pottery Throwdown,” and George gets excited about watching The Masters PGA Tournament. Lastly, producer Marybess is in a tizzy over CatCon, coming to a couch near you April 17th and 18th. Everyone, stay safe and healthy, and wear your mask over your f*cking nose.
