*FILMS DISCUSSED: POP STAR, SF DOC FEST SHORT FILMS, EL CHIVO, FUTURE OF WORK AND DEATH, DWARVENAUT* Chris and Graham record from a hotel in the Bay Area with Mike Schmidt. Chris and Graham liked Pop Star more than they thought they would. Chris saw some cool short documentaries. Mike and Graham were really drawn in by the running doc, El Chivo. Chris and Graham found Future of Work and Death to get a little repetitive. Mike didn't like Dwarenaut as much as Chris and Graham did. It was a good talk about some interesting docs at the SF Doc Fest. This ep will make you want to run up a hill with a tire sandal.
