Which one are you? I'm Alonzo, your Dave. Yeah. And, yes, good that we should point that out because we might have some new listeners this week who are here because we have a wonderful guest that we're kicking off the proceedings with today. She is the film editor at the rap. She is the co-host of the ticklish business podcast |
| 0:55.4 | and most relevant to our discussion today. |
| 0:58.2 | The author of the latest book from TCM and Running Press, |
| 1:03.1 | But Have You Read the Book, 52 Literary Gems that inspired our favorite films? |
| 1:07.9 | Please welcome Kristen Lopez. |
| 1:10.5 | Hello, thank you so much for having me. |
| 1:13.3 | Oh, it's our total pleasure. |
