It’s been decades since Lucy Lawless became world-famous as Xena, the Warrior Princess. Since then she’s done everything from appearing on Broadway in Grease to starring in an eye-opening Spartacus TV series. Now she’s made her directorial debut with a compelling documentary called Never Look Away, about videographer Margaret Moth, who thrived on the adrenaline of shooting in war zones. It played at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and South by Southwest and is now opening in theaters and on many streaming services. Lawless is justifiably proud of her achievement and Leonard and Jessie were impressed with her—as an interviewee and as a filmmaker.

Lou Diamond Phillips has an old-school, theater-based work ethic, which is why there’s almost nothing he can’t or won’t do—from appearing on The Masked Singer to imitating the look of Buffalo Bill Cody for his newest film Get Fast, now available on VOD. He doesn’t mind that people still talk to him about playing Ritchie Valens in La Bamba because he’s (justly) proud of the film and his performance in it, as you will hear. Leonard and Jessie also have a personal connection to this gracious and talented man.

Liam Neeson needs no introduction; his work over the past five decades speaks for itself. What you may not know is what a charming man he is…or how dedicated to his craft he remains after all this time. He says he still finds acting a source of wonder and discovery. His latest film, an action thriller called Absolution, opens today. Is it a great movie? Not in the same class as Schindler’s List, or even Taken, but worth seeing if only to watch the man at work. Leonard and Jessie feel lucky to have spent some time with him.
