Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams and filmmaker Lisa D'Apolito pick up the conversation about documentaries, this time about Gilda Radner and the 2018 film, Love, Gilda. In fall 2024, Lisa was a guest along with Mallory Lewis to discuss the documentary, Shari and Lamb Chop.

Cynthia and Lisa explore Lisa's journey from acting to filmmaking and why Lisa uses her talents to tell the stories of women whose accomplishments and impact have been overlooked. They discuss Gilda's diaries, comedians interviewed for the film like Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolf, Bill Hader and Melissa McCarthy and how Lisa built trust with Gilda's friends and family to obtain access to private archives.
