    Breaking down the Primetime Emmy Awards
    Sep 24 2025

    "The Studio" crushed the competition in comedies. "The Pitt" played spoiler to "Severance" in dramas. "Adolescence," as expected, took the top prizes in limited series.

    But there were plenty of surprises along the way as well as Nate Bargatze's efforts as host. We break down the highs and lows of this year's Primetime Emmy Awards.

    Also: "Dancing with the Stars" is back and the new Netflix documentary "aka Charlie Sheen" takes a look at the life of the actor.

    Note: The show discusses potential Emmy hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel. This podcast was recorded prior to ABC's suspension and subsequent reinstatement of him.

  • 'Alien: Earth' gives David Rysdahl another chance to shine

    'Alien: Earth' gives David Rysdahl another chance to shine
    Sep 16 2025

    David Rysdahl has been busy the past few years, but you might not have noticed if you weren't paying attention.

    That's not to say his roles have been forgettable — quite the opposite. Rather, Rysdahl has had impactful roles in ensemble casts, whether as chemist Donald Hornig in the blockbuster "Oppenheimer," the loving but passive husband Wayne Lyon in season 5 of "Fargo," or the uneasy scientist Arthur Sylvia in "Alien: Earth."

    This latest role reunites him with Noah Hawley, the creator and showrunner of both "Fargo" and "Alien: Earth." In this episode, hear from Rysdahl during an interview with co-host Bruce Miller.

    Sep 9 2025

    There are plenty of familiar contenders for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards (Sept. 14, 8 p.m. EDT, CBS), but a bunch of newcomers could take top prizes.

    "Severance," "The Bear," "The White Lotus" and "Hacks" all have been nominated in the past and look to pick up awards. Could "Adolescence" be this year's "Baby Reindeer" in the limited series category? Will "The Studio" or "The Pitt" pick up trophies? Can Harrison Ford finally win a top prize?

    In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller share who he thinks will win big.

  • 'The Paper' brings 'The Office' into world of journalism

    'The Paper' brings 'The Office' into world of journalism
    Sep 3 2025

    "The Office" became one of the most beloved series of the early 2000s, and while Steve Carell isn't reprising his Michael Scott character, the show gets new life in a way with "The Paper."

    In this spinoff film, Domhnall Gleeson plays Ned Sampson, editor of the "Toledo Truth Teller." The newspaper, which is struggling, also happens to be owned by Dunder Mifflin and the show brings Oscar Nunez along to reprise his role as accountant Oscar Martinez.

    In this episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz discuss the new show, how it compares to the current state of journalism, and some of the classic journalism movies and shows of all time from "Lou Grant" to the unrelated movie "The Paper" to the classic films "All the Presidents Men" and "Spotlight."

    There have been a number of big summer movies like "F1: The Movie," "Superman" and "Jurrassic World: Rebirth." But these popcorn movies are not likely destined for big awards.

  • Billy Joel, 'East of Wall' take us from Long Island to South Dakota

    Billy Joel, 'East of Wall' take us from Long Island to South Dakota
    Aug 20 2025

    Although he has largely stopped writing and recording music since 1993's "River of Dreams," Billy Joel has remained a steady force on classic rock radio (or streaming) as well as at New York's Madison Square Garden.

    With so many documentaries and biopics popping up in recent years, it was only a matter of time before filmmakers tackled the "Piano Man." HBO's recent two-part documentary "And So It Goes" takes viewers on a journey from his roots on Long Island through four marriages, a bad record deal, financial problems and a massive catalog of pop hits. And if that wasn't enough, there's also the story of his Jewish grandparents surviving Nazi Germany.

    In this episode, co-host and music fan Terry Lipshetz talks the new documentary, while co-host Bruce Miller then discusses the new drama "East of Wall" that critics have been raving about. Miller also shares his interview with director Kate Beecroft and stars Tabitha Zimiga and Porscha Zuniga. The movie was filmed in South Dakota.

  • What's old is new again this year for movies and television

    What's old is new again this year for movies and television
    Aug 6 2025

    When in doubt, just recycle an old franchise.

    There's "Freakier Friday" and "The Naked Gun" hitting theaters. "Happy Gilmore 2" just dropped on Netflix.

    "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" is another attempt at the comic book series.

    Are you into science fiction? Hulu brings the "Alien" franchise to the small screen with the new "Alien: Earth" series. And then there is the "Predator" franchise, which crosses over with "Alien" from time to time, returning later this year with a new movie, "Predator: Badlands."

    On this week's episode, co-hosts Terry Lipshetz and Bruce Miller talks about what's being recycled this year, including the third installment of the "Avatar" franchise that is finally coming back after production delays.
