MERYL STREEP AND I DISAGREE; JONAH HILL TALKS WAR DOGS

**Jonah Hill Talks War Dogs: The actor known for Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street, stars in the political satire War Dogs as a young gun runner for the US military in Afghanistan. And considers the question, "If the government says it's legal, is it okay?"

**Meryl Streep And I Disagree: In a conversation about class versus gender connected to her new movie, Florence Foster Jenkins. In which a real life enormously wealthy 1940s Manhattan socialite in a kind of Emperor's New Clothes delusional state of mind, tries to buy fame as an opera singer, even though she can't sing. And with co-star Hugh Grant weighing in about his character and out of work actor founding Actors Equity at the time.
