Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, always honest. In WHAT HAPPENS NEXT with Ben and Philip, we make unsophisticated predictions about recent headline events. Everyone’s an armchair expert!In TWIN MOVIES with Ben and Gabe, we look at the phenomenon where Hollywood makes two films based on the same idea. How did this happen? Which movie did it better? What would make a great sequel? In BREAKING IN with Ben Phelps, I interview acclaimed filmmakers to uncover the fascinating stories behind the making of their first film.
