The new episode of the New York Cine Radio Podcast is up. Melanie Hope, my old buddy from college, rolled through the podcast tonight to promote her upcoming documentary. I hadn’t seen Mel since maybe a year or two after I graduated. It was great to catch up and hear what she has been up to over the years.
Her film is called Grounders (http://groundersdocumentary.com) and focuses on a Brooklyn based softball league and the lives of the women that take the field. In addition to talking about her project we also got into a deep discussion on the role of sports in our culture and how athletics can be a positive influence for all women.
Finally the guys and I discuss the fifth season finale of “Game of Thrones” and the shocking ending that caught everyone by surprise.
