Description
Regina and Reina King join the show to talk about their film Shirley, which follows the first Black congresswoman and political icon Shirley Chisholm, and her trailblazing run in 1972 for president of the United States. Regina and Reina produced the film for their company Royal Ties, and acted opposite each other (Regina as Chisholm and Reina as her sister, Muriel St. Hill).
Regina and Reina reflect on the film's 15 year journey, talk about the process of bringing Oscar-winner John Ridley onboard as director, writer, and co-producer, and explain what inspired Reina to get back in front of the camera after a two decade hiatus from acting.
The sisters also dig into what their dynamic was like growing up, share a few favorite pieces of advice that they've gotten from their mom over the years, and discuss what makes their creative partnership so strong.

Betty Gilpin: Betty Gilpin sits down to discuss her journey as an actor and her work on GLOW, the show from Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch about a crew of misfits who reinvent themselves as the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling in 1980’s Los Angeles. Gilpin is a two-time Emmy nominee for her performance as Debbie “Liberty Belle” Eagan. Raised by actors, Gilpin is refreshingly candid about the superficial expectations women grapple with, and her own conflict with the inner “male gaze representative.” by Skip Intro
