To Squee Or Not To Squee!
Host Bill Thill is joined by self-described obsessed 'fangirl' and New York based documentary filmmaker Hansi Oppenheimer to discuss the power of female fandom.
According to the Urban Dictionary, Squee! is the sound a fangirl makes, 'To Squeal with Glee', when expressing a feeling of excitement and happiness."
We go behind the Squee! to discuss the self-empowerment of fandom and the influence fans have on the industry. Hansi also shares her experience of using new, readily available, technology to create filmed content for a receptive worldwide audience by any means necessary.

EP. 5: Movies Of The 1980's With Film Critic Tara McNamara
Host Bill Thill meets up with critic, journalist, and digital content creator Tara McNamara at the Cinemark Theaters in Los Angeles to discuss movies of the 1980's.
Tara has been a critic for Common Sense Media for 15 years, written for Variety and Fandango and is the founder of 80sMovieGuide.com. She also produces the podcast, "80's Movies: A Guide To What's Wrong With Your Parents", a show she co-hosts with her daughter.
Tara is an expert on the films of the 1980's and her unique take on the decade, that was defined by teen movies and MTV, will both delight and horrify...and somehow that seems appropriate!
