"Weiner:" Inside His Failed Race for City Hall. A New Documentary Exposes All! - Sex, lies and social media come together on the big screen in the documentary Weiner, which follows former congressman Anthony Weiner after his highly publicized sexting SCANDAL as he made a bid to rehabilitate his image and become mayor of New York City in 2013. The film paints a candid portrait of the politician and his fall from grace, shot by his former staffer turned filmmaker. We have a preview of what is being hailed as one of the best documentaries about a political campaign ever.

From Broadway to Hollywood and Back: Director Jason Moore is "Fully Committed" - For director Jason Moore, the world of theater exists both on stage and in Tinseltown. Then a young director, he took a small off-Broadway hit and brought it to Broadway. That show? The 2004 Tony Award-winner Avenue Q. Jason then made his transition to Hollywood directing a little feature film you may have heard of called Pitch Perfect. But now he's back on the Great White Way helming the comedy Fully Committed with MODERN FAMILY star Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Moore joins us to discuss
Fully Committed and why he loves directing in New York City and Hollywood.
