What We’re Watching
It’s been a long week (and it’s only Wednesday) but there’s one thing our Rioters can always count on: A healthy amount of TV to obsess over. Sherin and Alex spill their feels on Why Women Kill, Preacher, and the season finale of Grown-ish.
Blinded By the Light Q&A with Gurinder Chadha, Viveik Kalra, and Sarfraz Manzoor
Blinded By the Light is a charming movie about a British teenager whose life is transformed when he discovers Bruce Springsteen’s music. Sherin attended a special screening and Q&A featuring director Gurinder Chadha, leading man Viveik Kalra, and writer Sarfraz Manzoor. Hosted by Susan Koch, Executive Director of the Middleburg Film Festival, the Q&A will let you in on the secrets behind the film—listen out for two questions from Sherin! Chadha, Kalra, and Manzoor talk about their favorite songs and scenes, getting The Boss himself on board, and how much of the movie is true to Manzoor’s story. Get ready because Blinded By the Light will leave you dancing in the dark…
