Are we entering a golden age for women directors in Hollywood? Kurt Andersen talks with Sarah Polley and Lynn Shelton about how the industry has changed, and where the glass ceiling remains. We’ll hear a report from Comic-Con, the bleeding edge of American pop culture. And Dirty Projectors, who make experimental rock you can dance to, perform live in the studio.
