Did you know that Real Housewives star Jen Shah is being sentenced for fraud crimes on the same day as the 'anniversary' of the Jan 6 insurrection?! I did, but I didn't talk about that with my guest, award-winning filmmaker and actor John Mossman (The Second City), even though Jen Shah's sentencing day and his new movie Good Guy With A Gun share something in common -- but you'll have to listen to our chat to find out! Good Guy With A Gun is a rural noir thriller following a Chicago teen and his mother’s arrival into a small town where their fractured relationship is widened by his deepening journey into gun culture. So listen up because myths will be debunked!
