  • Film review: The Reluctant Fundamentalist: A Film America Wasn’t Ready For

    Film review: The Reluctant Fundamentalist: A Film America Wasn’t Ready For
    Dec 2 2025
    In this episode I take a deep dive into The Reluctant Fundamentalist, a film that should have been front-row center but never got its moment. I talk about Riz Ahmed’s extraordinary performance, the quiet brilliance of Mira Nair’s direction, the music that pulls you into another cultural syntax, and the way the film exposes America’s post-9/11 blind spots without shouting. It is a story about identity, belonging, and the small humiliations that shape a life. And maybe more than anything, it’s a reminder that no one becomes a fundamentalist in a vacuum — and we should stop pretending otherwise. - Hollister Learn more about your ad choices.

  • TV Show Review: The Diplomat, Season Three

    TV Show Review: The Diplomat, Season Three
    Oct 21 2025
    Merser and Wilder could not wait to unpack Season Three of The Diplomat, which Merser calls “the best of the three, by a diplomatic mile.” After a quick walk through Seasons One and Two, they dive into the complex and ingenious storytelling that defines this season. You cannot talk about The Diplomat without invoking The West Wing and Homeland, and Debora Cahn, who wrote for both, shows how to fuse the best of those worlds while making something singular in The Diplomat. The plot is a high-stakes global crisis, personal entanglements that complicate every choice, and a quieter script that lets tension build in the spaces between lines. In a world on edge, this story lands close to home and makes for must-watch TV. Spoilers ahead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • May December

    May December
    Sep 24 2025
    "May December," featuring a star-studded cast including Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman, is much more than the torrid story of a seventh-grade teacher who ensnared her student, went to prison for it, and married him upon her release. It transcends that narrative, offering a profound exploration of complex themes. Don't miss the discussion on the film's production, including the techniques employed by Todd Haynes. His interpretations consistently delve deeper than the obvious. JI5Ugqcy89Ve5vHa6ABf Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
