This week, we have two very different segments tied to two very different -- but equally fun -- new releases. First up, the new dark comedy Caught Stealing from Darren Aronofsky stars Austin Butler as a former baseball player who gets stuck in a web of gangsters and murderers searching for a missing bag of money. Set in the 90s New York City, the movie is an accurate depiction of that grittier era. But at certain key moments in the plot, it's also an accurate depiction of baseball. Jordan Baltimore, CEO of Empire Baseball, and trainer Julian Malenda, came into the picture. The pair were drafted to help Butler -- who had never played baseball before -- transform into someone with a lot of batting talent. Baltimore and Maleda joined us before opening night of Caught Stealing at the Playhouse to discuss how they got involved in the project.

Plus: If you enjoy raunchy romantic comedies, you'll love the latest effort from director Michael Covino. The filmmaker stars alongside his writing partner Kyle Marvin, Dakota Johnson, and Adria Arjona as two couples whose boundaries are tested by open relationships. Covino and producer Emily Korteweg explain how they managed to make an original comedy and why we don't see more of them these days.
