On Friday's show: We learn what took place at Houston protests in connection with the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

Also this hour: We find out why the state teacher's union is suing the TEA following investigations into teachers’ social media posts last fall.

Then, our non-experts consider The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And the series Movies Houstonians Love returns this weekend to the MFAH with a documentary decades in the making. The 2023 film Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird focuses on Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler Zavala, the duo behind the El Paso progressive rock band The Mars Volta. It’s culled from hundreds of hours of footage filmed across decades. Houston DJ and producer Gracie Chavez talks about why this film means so much to her.
