Brandt Andersen - I Was A Stranger

Break out the popcorn because Zach and Dan are all buttered up and ready to go back to the movies! Today on the show, we talk to activist and director Brandt Andersen whose new movie I Was A Stranger (2026) explores the hardships of migrants through an action-packed ensemble thriller. The movie is terrific, and we highly encourage you to see it in theaters this January! Also discussed on this podcast: buying a G League team, talking to evil people, and - of course - collecting figurines. This episode is brought to you by ⁠Quince⁠!
