Mahershala Ali as a Hitman and Caring Father; Lizzy McAlpine Performs Live from 'Angel'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | 4 hours ago

A new action-thriller stars actor Mahershala Ali as Latif, a devoutly religious hitman who struggles to balance work, faith and fatherhood. Ali joins me alongside writer and director Bassam Tariq in studio to discuss the film, “Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother," which is playing in theaters now.

In September, Lizzy McAlpine released her latest album, Angel. Lizzy began recording the album at a collaborator's studio in Altadena, just before the LA wildfires destroyed the studio in 2025. McAlpine discusses the making Angel, her Broadway debut in Floyd Collins, and performs live.
