Some hot takes on the new Zendaya movie 'Challengers'
Dori Zori and Kristopher Pollard tangle with a love triangle not of their own making as they review the new movie Challengers. They talk about what worked, what didn't work and give it a long review so you don't have to.

The Milwaukee duo who shaped the sound of ‘The People’s Joker’
We’re down a Cinebud this week, but worry not because we called in a couple of Jokers to compensate.
To be more accurate, our very special guests joining us on this episode are two of the people who worked on viral and cinematic sensation The People’s Joker: composers Justin Krol and Quinn Scharber. The Milwaukee-based duo are the driving force behind the film’s score and thus have enjoyed a front-row seat to its tumultuous and controversial existence.
We won’t get too into the legal weeds here, but to summarize: The People’s Joker debuted at the Toronto Film Festival back in 2022, was shelved under the threat of legal action from Warner Bros., snuck in a secret midnight screening at the Milwaukee Film Festival in 2023 and then finally began its proper theatrical run last month.
With Kpolly on the sidelines for this one, Dori uses her finely honed interviewing skills to get Krol and Scharber chatting about their early days as Milwaukee musicians, their connection to the movie’s star/creative force Vera Drew, and the chutzpah required to get into this very competitive field.

Your guide to week two of the Milwaukee Film Festival
Did you know that over the course of its two weeks, this year’s Milwaukee Film Festival will have screened 131 features and 169 shorts? For the math heads out there, that’s a whopping 300 titles filling the 2024 event’s program. Even for a cinephile with unlimited time and energy reserves, seeing every single one isn’t an option. That’s why we’re here.
"We" is, of course, Kpolly and Dori — AND returning for yet another Milwaukee Filmtastic episode is the organization’s programing director, Kerstin Larson. If you missed our last installment, Kerstin joined our ’Buds to provide the kind of recommendations you might expect from the person responsible for picking the films that show up in the fest.
But that was just week one. We have a whole second week to tackle, and you can hear the trio’s must-see movies in this episode.

Customer Reviews
These are my Cinebuddies!
Justin makes me want to nerd out so hard on films and K Polly is just a person you want to be friends with. The two together have such chemistry and it glows.
Two fun dudes, come on and listen!
Two nice, fun guys casually chattin about the latest cinema! Happy podcast to listen to during the day as a pick-me-up.
Such a delight
Huge fan of both 88.9 and MKE Film on their own, but having a dynamic duo such as these dudes get together to discuss one of my favorite topics is ear candy, plain and simple. I laugh, I agree, I learn and I gain interest for movies I wouldn’t normally think twice about seeing. Awesome afternoon listening.
