Actress Milla Jovovich and Rich discuss how she, as bona fide video game movie star, approaches limiting her kids’ screen time playing video games at home, reveals why she never imagined herself having a career as an action movie hero and her new film ‘Monster Hunters,’ and why she can’t remember ANYTHING from making Richard Linklater’s ‘Dazed and Confused.’

Michigan head coach Juwan Howard and Rich discuss the success he’s had in his short time in Ann Arbor, if there is a ‘big man bias’ in the hiring of head coaches, why he’s still honking the fact that he was a McDonald’s All-American back in the day, and why he’s not a fan of the growing trend of basketball shorts getting shorter and shorter.
