This podcast is normally a place to talk movies and streaming shows, but the Olympics provided their own form of drama during the two weeks of the Games that just concluded.

You had the 'Quad God' Ilia Malinin falling short of gold. There were the ice dancers — and "Glitter & Gold" stars — Madison Chock and Evan Bates, who took silver following team gold. And there was also Eileen Gu, the American-born freestyle skier competing for China and a major social media influencer.

In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about the Olympics, their favorite moments, and the Netflix miniseries "Glitter & Gold," which takes viewers behind the scenes and into the world of ice dancing.

Miller also shares some of the other shows he's been watching, such as "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins" with Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, the return of "Scrubs" with Zach Braff, season 3 of "The Night Agent" with Gabriel Basso, and season 2 of "Paradise" starring Sterling K. Brown.

Finally, we chat about the full trailer of "The Mandalorian & Grogu," which marks are return to theaters for "Star Wars" when it debuts on May 22.

Tubi may not have the same name recognition as Netflix or Hulu, but the streamer continues to offer original content, with several recent programs targeting younger viewers.

That's the case with "Kissing Is the Easy Part," an adaptation of a romance novel by Christine Duann. The film stars Paris Berelc and Asher Angel, who both chat with co-host Bruce Miller about the film.

Before that, Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz chat about the Winter Olympics, which are in full swing, as well as their interactions with Olympians over the years.

Miller also talks about the new miniseries "Love Story," the FX/Hulu program from Ryan Murphy that looks at the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.

And finally, Lipshetz not only names off all of the "Bridgerton" characters A through H, but offers his thoughts on the latest season, which recently dropped the first half of season 4 on Netflix with the second half to come at the end of February. This season takes a Cinderella story approach with Benedict and his love interest.

"Melania" is less traditional documentary and more brand rollout, much like what you'd get at a fashion show.

While the movie takes a guarded approach and doesn't get too deep into First Lady Melania Trump's backstory, there is still something to be learned.

Like the current state of politics, the film has been polarizing. Reviews from traditional film critics have largely been negative, but moviegoers have praised the film. As of this podcast, "Melania" scores 8% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but 99% and "Verified Hot" from the audience.

After the co-hosts discuss the documentary, they shift over to the latest version of "Dracula," this time coming from director Luc Besson ("La Femme Nikita," "Leon: The Professional," "The Fifth Element"). Bruce Miller catches up with Besson as well as stars Caleb Landry Jones (Dracula) and Zoe Bleu (Elisabeta/Mina Murray).
