This week at Side B features Zakariah Johnson’s excellent story.
“Bad Road, Wretched Road” is a dark, hard-driving story about bad choices, worse roads, and the kind of trouble that keeps coming long after you think you’ve outrun it.

We had an amazing chat with one of our favorites @Mfranzen talking about her collection "A Woman's Guide to True Crime," our collective LOTR nerdom, and whether you need wedding liability insurance. Give it a listen on wherever you find your podcasts!

I say this every year: While @BeyondFest offers the best in genre film events (new MIAMI VICE cut! GREEN ROOM w/ Saulnier!), if you couldn't get tix, don't snooze on the FREE Los Feliz 3 shows. One of the most mindmelting theatrical experiences of my life (FEMME) was a BF freebie
Before we open tonight, we wanted to thank everyone who has supported this thing over the years. With over 28K tickets already sold, this will be our highest attended fest, a feat made possible with the partnership of @am_cinematheque and all of you. 1/2
