    Fares Fares & Cherien Dabis Talk “Eagles of the Republic”
    2026/04/20
    Fares Fares and Cherien Dabis are front and center in the intense new film Eagles of the Republic, a Cannes-selected political thriller that pulls back the curtain on fame under pressure. Fares stars as a beloved Egyptian actor forced into a dangerous game when he’s pushed to portray a real-life dictator in a state-controlled propaganda film. What starts as a career move quickly spirals into a high-stakes world of surveillance, manipulation, and life-or-death consequences. In our conversation, Dabis—who plays a key figure caught in the web of power—dives into the film’s deeper themes: censorship, loyalty, and the cost of speaking truth in a controlled system. This is more than a thriller—it’s a chilling reflection on how governments shape narratives and how artists navigate that reality. With direction by Tarik Saleh, the film blends satire and suspense into a story that feels as urgent as it is cinematic.

    Jared Isaac Directs An Autumn Summer, A Love Story That Captures The Magic Of Growing Up On The Roundtable!
    2026/04/19
    An Autumn Summer is here—and Jared Isaac is giving us a story that feels like a memory you never want to forget. Written and directed by Isaac, the film follows a young couple spending one final summer together in Northern Michigan before life pulls them in different directions. Starring Mark McKenna and Lukita Maxwell, this coming-of-age romance leans into those quiet, in-between moments—sunsets, late nights, and the realization that time doesn’t stand still. But what makes An Autumn Summer resonate is its simplicity and heart. This is not about big, dramatic twists—it’s about the beauty of ordinary moments and the ache of knowing they won’t last forever. With a successful festival run and growing buzz ahead of its release, Isaac’s directorial voice feels intimate, honest, and deeply personal. It’s the kind of film that reminds you of your own “last summer” before everything changed—and why those memories stay with us long after the season ends. The Roundtable with Robert Bannon is available on BroadwayWorld, YouTube, Spotify, Apple, iHeart, and more!

    2026/04/18
    Jason McGee is stepping into a powerful new season with Another Tomorrow, a stirring new release from Jason McGee & The Choir that is already resonating across the gospel world. The 14-track album blends soaring choir moments with intimate testimony, featuring songs like “God This Time” and “Just Another Day” that lean into themes of perseverance, redemption, and unwavering faith.

What emerged is not just an album, but a testimony—one that transforms pain into praise and struggle into strength. With a choir that lifts every note sky-high and a message that meets listeners exactly where they are, this project is a reminder that no matter how heavy today feels… there is always another tomorrow.

  • MATTHEW MIELE & TUCKER TOOLEY TALK “FINDING SATOSHI”

    MATTHEW MIELE & TUCKER TOOLEY TALK “FINDING SATOSHI”
    2026/04/18
    Filmmaker Matthew Miele and powerhouse producer Tucker Tooley are diving headfirst into one of the greatest mysteries of our time with their gripping new documentary, Finding Satoshi. Premiering April 22, 2026, the film follows a four-year investigation led by journalist William D. Cohan and private investigator Tyler Maroney as they attempt to uncover the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto—the anonymous creator of Bitcoin. Through rare interviews with major voices in the crypto world and deep forensic research, the film explores not just the “who,” but the “why” behind a figure who has reshaped global finance forever. But Finding Satoshi is more than just a financial whodunit—it’s a human story wrapped in code, secrecy, and revolution. Miele and Tooley bring a cinematic lens to a topic often locked behind tech jargon, making it accessible, urgent, and surprisingly emotional. With billions of dollars and the future of decentralized finance tied to this mystery, the film dares to ask the question the world has been chasing for nearly two decades—and delivers what it calls a definitive answer. It’s bold, it’s investigative, and it’s exactly the kind of conversation that will have audiences leaning in and questioning everything they thought they knew about money, power, and anonymity.

  • Nora Sorena Casey & Arthur Makaryan Talk THE CENSORSHIP OF DREAMS!

    Nora Sorena Casey & Arthur Makaryan Talk THE CENSORSHIP OF DREAMS!
    2026/04/15
    Nora Sorena Casey and director Arthur Makaryan join me to talk about The Censorship of Dreams, a striking new theatrical work arriving at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club. The piece dives deep into the power of dreams—how they shape identity, challenge authority, and reveal truths we often try to suppress. Set against a world where imagination itself feels policed, the story asks what happens when even our inner lives are no longer free. Running May 1–17, the production promises an intimate, thought-provoking experience that blends emotional storytelling with urgent cultural questions. We get into the creative process behind building this world, how personal and political themes collide in the piece, and why now feels like the exact right moment for a show like this. Nora and Arthur share insight into collaboration, trust, and the vulnerability it takes to put something this honest on stage. It’s a conversation about art as resistance, imagination as survival, and what it really means to protect your voice—even in your dreams.
