Ready or Not 2 with Maia Jae
Star Maia Jae joins the sibs to talk Ready or Not 2: Here I Come and her role as Francesca, the animalistic, 12/10-energy force at the center of the most iconic sequence in the film.

They get into Earl's hilariously detached off-camera energy, 12 hours of improv, and why the film earns its compassion for a character. Plus, Micaela reflect

My NDA with Miriam Shor and Juliane Dressner
Directors Juliane Dressner and Miriam Shor join the sibs to talk My NDA , a film that cuts to the heart of how non-disclosure agreements are weaponized against the very people they claim to protect.
