About this episode
Here's a striking new episode with actress, writer, author, director, and producer Justine Bateman who Phil became friends with on the last WGA strike -- they both also appear in the 2006 film, "The TV Set." Over a delicious lunch from Jeff's Table -- https://www.jeffstablela.com/ -- Justine, Phil and David enjoy a freewheeling conversation covering everything from Artificial Intelligence to "Family Ties," from Justin's compelling books "Fame" and "Face" to her acclaimed feature film directorial debut "Violet" in 2021 to going back to earning a degree in computer science and digital media management from UCLA in 2016. Justine is full of insights into Hollywood's current labor issues to making the movie "Satisfaction" with Julia Roberts.
