At The Movies

The first half of hour two is all about the hearings related to the war plan text message debacle.

Taking a break for a look at the weather, we chat with Brittney Merlot, or WMDX meteorologist, before returning to hear a few more clips from the Signal leak hearings. Later, we welcome in Jim Healy and Ben Riser, programmers of the Wisconsin Film Festival beginning next week. They chat about some of the films to look for, from classics to sports documentaries, to Wisconsin's own short films.
