    Kim Masters is joined by Matt Belloni, executive editor of the Hollywood Reporter to discuss top entertainment news stories of the week.

    - Sundance season is upon us.

    - Some films already have buyers, like Noah Baumbach's Mistress America, which was picked up by Fox Searchlight. Other filmmakers may be looking to studios for buyers, but several digital players like Netflix and Amazon will also be on the scene.

    - On the documentary side, several films are already making waves before they've even premiered, including Alex Gibney's Scientology documentary Going Clear, in which Kim Masters appears as a talking head.
