T'was the Night Before Epstein Files

T'was the Night Before Epstein Files

John talks about the lead up to the release of the Epstein files. He also discusses Trump talking about his Venezuela War plans. Then, he interviews Christina Faith Johnson who is a true multi-hyphenate: a director, writer, producer, and mentor on a mission to tell bold stories that spark change and inspire action. Christina founded the production company "The Grindhouse Inc" with an aim to make impactful films and mentor rising creatives. In the last two years, TV and film production in L.A. dropped by 22% as studios fled to other states and countries with more space, more tax incentives and no wildfire season. Legislators in Pennsylvania want to compete with states like Georgia and New Jersey – who have seen hundreds of millions in investment from major studios. State Rep. Andre Carroll — who represents the 201st Legislative District — has put forward the Pennsylvania Film Production Tax Credit and Video Game Production Tax Credit to entice more productions to set up shop in the Commonwealth. Christina Faith Johnson is one of the creators signing on to help make the tax credit a reality. And finally, John chats with Democratic Strategist Max Burns and they banter about Trump's impending war with Venezuela and the impending release of the Epstein files.
