Greenberg, Jonathan. "Trump's Financial House of Cards." On the Media (May 10, 2019) ["As we all learned this week, President Trump "lost more money than nearly other individual American taxpayer” between 1985 and 1994. It was during that decade of losses that Trump published The Art of the Deal and became a fixture on the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans. But if his business failures and his debts were so immense, how did he get on the list to begin with? Jonathan Greenberg, now an investigative journalist, was then the Forbesreporter whose unenviable task it was to evaluate Trump’s fabulous claims. Bob spoke with him this week about the origin myth upon which a 37-year-long con was built."]

Democracy Now (June 17, 2019) ["The documentary “16 Shots” examines the 2014 murder of African-American teenager Laquan McDonald in Chicago and the attempt by the city’s police department to cover up the events. McDonald, who was 17, was shot 16 times by former police officer Jason Van Dyke. Van Dyke was found guilty in 2018 of second-degree murder and sentenced to six years and nine months in prison for McDonald’s murder. He was also found guilty on 16 counts of aggravated battery—one count for each of the 16 bullets he fired at McDonald."]
Winkler, Irwin. "On Raging Bull." The Metrograph (May 29, 2019) ["They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, the Rocky franchise, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, De-Lovely, The Wolf of Wall Street: The producing credits of Irwin Winkler are not short on era-defining, money-making classics. In another time, Winkler may have been a household name on the level of a Goldwyn or a Zanuck, but until now, Winkler was content to let his work speak for itself. With the release of his memoir, A Life In Movies, the 88-year-old producer is finally unleashing fifty years of stories behind Hollywood’s defining movies. Ahead of his weekend of screenings at Metrograph, we are pleased to present an exclusive excerpt from Winkler’s memoir. Have you ever seen Raging Bull and wondered how in the world that movie ever got made? Well, now we know."]
