Our very special guest today is the one and only ICON, Octavia Spencer. We are delighted to talk to her about her most recent project Ride or Die. In our chat, we cover what a real-life ride or die looks like. It’s a lovely answer, and it’ll make you want to text your best friend. And the big one: why the show hasn’t been renewed, whether there’s hope for season two, and whether it could live on as a film.

Our guest today is Ajon Singh, the screenwriter behind Primetime, the new A24 film directed by Lance Oppenheim which looks at To Catch a Predator in its most successful period.
