Alex Dobrenko returns to plug his new show, Distance, a series about a long distance relationship shot from two perspectives. It's beautiful. Watch it here, free, right now: Also, podcast elephant in the room: it's been one year since we've heard a new episode. What's been going on with Igor? Is he depressed, or something? Yes. Good guess.

For most of his adult life, he’s been a professional actor, you might have seen him as Ricky in Robert Rodriguez’s show Matador. But then, earlier this year, he started working at Facebook Live as a producer and at Instagram, directing boomerangs for A-list celebrities and shooting stories for the Instagram account, which has 200 million followers. At the same time, he blew up in voice over, because he’s the voice of Lucio in the...
