This week on BEHIND THE LENS we look to the stars and into the past as we take another look at THE RIOT ACT with two very special guests, plus an excerpt from our exclusive interview with the director of LUCY IN THE SKY. First up, take a listen to an excerpt from our exclusive interview with director NOAH HAWLEY as he talks about LUCY IN THE SKY starring Natalie Portman and Jon Hamm. Noah's first foray into the world of narrative features after a very successful career as a television writer ("Legion", "Fargo", "Bones") and sometimes director ("Fargo"), his direction and vision is solid; he takes some visual risks with aspect ratio as a means to further immerse the audience into the story and the mind of astronaut Lucy Cola who is experiencing an existential crisis and descent into madness following her latest mission into space and spacewalk. Then we've got a big welcome for actor MICAH HAUPTMAN who returns to #BTLRadioShow almost four years to the day, this time talking about THE RIOT ACT. Last week, writer/director Devon Parks joined us to talk about the film which is also based on a true story that occurred at the turn of the 20th Century. Always a joy, Micah talks character, costume, and more! And no sooner do we have Micah, than veteran actor BRETT CULLEN is on hand talking about his starring role in THE RIOT ACT, the importance of production detail, collaborating with his director, his storied career, advice for young actors and, of course, "Joker" in which he plays Bruce Wayne's father. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

This week, the Grue-Crew present two films from IFC Midnight. We start off the New Year with a tale of Hazing Horror and a yarn about a college girl out of her element. The first film this week is PLEDGE from directors Daniel Robbins, featuring a trio of college nerds looking to join a fraternity only to choose the worse option possible. The second film is RUST CREEK from director Jen McGowan, featuring a college girl lost in the Kentucky wilderness running from drug dealers with only a meth cook to aid her escape.  Doc Rotten and Vanessa Thompson from Horror News Radio along with Jeff Mohr from Decades of Horror: The Classic Era share their thoughts about this week's awesome collection of streaming horror films. Gruesome Magazine Podcast - Episode 049 PLEDGE - RUST CREEK Pledge A group of college freshmen pledge an exclusive fraternity but soon realize there's more at stake than they could have ever imagined. "Once you get into the meat of it - the hazing - and the things that take place after that, that’s where the tension really ramps up and the characters really stretch their legs, especially our three potential club members. We see some really strong acting from (Zack Weiner, Phillip Andre Botello, and Zachery Byrd) and some really strong character development." - Vanessa "It’s really well made; it looked really good and I didn’t see a weak spot in the acting anywhere. … It’s a well-told story." - Jeff "I really liked this film. I had a good time with it. … The environment that they find themselves in is presented in such a seductive way that they are all in until they realize that they shouldn’t be and it’s too late." - Doc Director: Daniel Robbins Cast: Zachery Byrd, Phillip Andre Botello, Aaron Dalla Villa Release: OPENING IN THEATERS AND VOD ON JANUARY 11TH from IFC MIDNIGHT Rust Creek An overachieving college student gets lost on her way to a job interview. A wrong turn leaves her stranded deep in the Kentucky forest. The woman must defend herself against the harsh elements and a band of ruthless outlaws. She is forced into an uneasy alliance with a strange loner who has unknown intentions. "I loved the Sawyer character because … (she) really shows her character and personality in small moments, in quiet moments. You see her strength and her perseverance and her willingness to do whatever it takes to survive and not give up." - Vanessa "Micah Hauptman as Hollister just oozed sleaziness and immorality. He was the stereotypical backwoods, bad guy and he did it so well." - Jeff "The director did a great job! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing whatever Jen McGowan (will put) out next because I think she has quite the eye and the knack for telling a story." - Doc Director: Jen McGowan Cast: Hermione Corfield, Micah Hauptman, Sean O'Bryan.

On April 10th, the Department of Labor's Fiduciary Rule was scheduled to go into effect. It didn't happen. Instead, there's now at least a 60 day delay. What does this mean and what should consumers expect going forward? Will this rule ever be implemented? To discuss these questions and more, I held a brief round-table discussion with Jon Stein, the CEO of Betterment, Maureen Thompson, Vice President of Public Policy at the CFP Board and Micah Hauptman, Financial Services Counsel at the Consumer Federation of America. Our BONUS call of the week will return next Tuesday, so if you have a question, email us at askjill@betteroffpodcast.com.
