Wynn Everett and Frankie A. Rodriguez join H. Alan Scott to talk about the second season of Hulu's "Chad Powers," where their characters give the rest of us a way into a football show. "We're both theater kids," Everett says, which explains a lot about how they approached it. They get into the straight-guy, gay-guy friendship at the center of the series and why it works without ever announcing itself, what Glen Powell is actually like as a number one on the call sheet, and how the show walks the line between camp and heartbreak. Plus, Rodriguez on why the locker room is really just backstage.

Leanne Morgan spent 27 years in stand-up before Netflix handed her a sitcom in her 60s. She joins H. Alan Scott to talk about season two of "Leanne," what Kristen Johnston taught her about working a multicam set and the wave of women over 60 currently running the format. "We must be the new it girls, I guess," Morgan says. Plus, what Netflix executives told her when she pitched the show, and why she is still surprised anyone let her in the room. Subscribe to H.

Fifteen years of apologizing, fifteen years of not speaking and one dinner party. John Galliano pulls out of the 2027 Costume Institute exhibition that would have honored him, ending weeks of backlash over the antisemitic and racist remarks that got him fired from Dior in 2011. H. Alan Scott and Lauren Giella ask whether stepping away was the right call, whether the Met outsourced a decision it should have made itself and what enough would even look like. Then Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger, which documents Liam and Noel Gallagher's 2025 reunion tour and delivers their first joint interview since the split, in theaters September 11 before it streams on Hulu and Disney+. And Gwyneth Paltrow, whose leaked Hamptons invite honoring OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tests how far a wellness brand can stretch.Subscribe to H.

Microdramas are the vertical-video soap operas taking over your phone: one- or two-minute episodes stacked 60 deep, full of love triangles, betrayals and cliff-hangers. H. Alan Scott sits down with Newsweek's Lauren Giella and actor Jason Caceres, who has shot more than 100 microdramas since 2023 between roles on Hacks and Criminal Minds, to unpack how apps like ReelShort and DramaBox built an $11 billion industry projected to top $20 billion by 2030. They get into the pay, the six-day shoots and why Marc Jacobs just launched one starring Rowan Blanchard. Somewhere, a former Quibi executive is punching a wall.

Dolly Parton has died at 80, and the loss is impossible to size. Newsweek's Lauren Giella joins H. Alan Scott to talk through a legacy that ran far past country music, from the "9 to 5" crossover to the movies to Dollywood to the Imagination Library to a business strategy that was, somehow, love. H. Alan also reflects on the hour he spent interviewing Dolly a few years back, what she was actually like in a room, and why the welcome she extended to every single person was always the real gift. There is never going to be another one.For more, visit: Dolly Parton's Real Gift Was Never the Voice. It Was the Open DoorSubscribe to my newsletter: Home | For The CultureFollow me: H.

Shabbat Dinner Party, an auditory exploration through a Shabbat dinner, returns to the appetizer table, the kitchen, and the dinner table to go through all things Shabbat dinner. In this episode, Neil Spears talks about how Shabbat could be the perfect antidote to burnout through the act of guarding and remembering. The Gefilteria's Jeffrey Yoskowitz and Liz Alpern talk about their personal approach to Shabbat and religion, and how resting by yourself is different than resting in community.  Finally, writer and comedian H. Alan Scott talks about how working on several different creative projects doesn't mean you can't rest on Shabbat.  Shabbat Dinner Party is a production of Judaism Unbound. Senior Producer is Joey Taylor, and Executive Director is Miriam Terlinchamp. This episode was mixed by Justin Newton.

If it's happening in the world of entertainment, it's for the culture. And there's a lot going on. For example, New York is insufferable right now and it kind of earned it. (Sam Smith is even writing love songs about it.) Oprah is out here discovering the mute button after four decades of letting the haters live rent free. Howard Stern is doing the math on what one show a week means for a man who built an empire on showing up every morning. Ryan Murphy is dangling a Glee reboot in front of a country that could use a show choir. And Kaia Gerber writes fan fiction she has no intention of posting. Everyone here is being weird and nobody is sorry. Newsweek's H. Alan Scott and Lauren Giella break down this week's hottest stories.

Anthony Bourdain was never just a chef. Dominic Sessa joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about ‘Tony,' the new film that follows a 19-year-old Bourdain through a summer in Provincetown after a rejection from Vassar, drawn from his 2000 memoir ‘Kitchen Confidential.' Sessa came to the role with almost no relationship to the man: "I wasn't working from a place of trying to meet this standard of who he was in my mind." What he played instead was a kid absorbing everything around him. "I'm a 19-year-old young guy who doesn't really know anything about the world but pretends they do."

Jeffrey Epstein's crimes were crimes against children. That is not how the country talked about them. Elizabeth J. Letourneau, PhD, who leads the Johns Hopkins Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse, and journalist Luke Malone join Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to discuss their book ‘One in Five: Why Child Sexual Abuse Is Our Biggest Public Health Crisis and What We Can Do to Stop It.' On the coverage, Letourneau does not hedge: "I am outraged." The two unpack why "up to 70 percent of child sexual abuse is at the hands of other kids," why predator language fails and why this crisis is preventable, not inevitable.

Summer's almost done, so let's see what it left behind. A festival that forgot what made it singular. A pop star who decided the conversation about her body was not one she had to attend. And a lot of men finally admitting they need somewhere to put their stuff. Three stories, all circling the same question: What do we do with the people we watch? Labor Day is fast approaching. Consider this the end of summer receipt. First up, comedian Coltown Dowling joined Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to break down why Lollapalooza should go back to being a touring festival. They also chatted about how Heated Rivalry's Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams have been spotted around Toronto in fashionable man bags, which begs the question, are we in a man bag summer? Finally, Newsweek's Lauren Giella chats about this complicated discussion circling around Ariana Grande at the moment.

It's no surprise that horror films are often allegories for larger societal issues, like racism with Get Out (2017) or male entitlement with Curry Barker's recent Obsession (2025). But rarely does the final girl, the last woman standing to confront the killer, get a redemption story of her own. That changes with Jane Schoenbrun's Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. "I think just the genre ambiguity, the fact that it is not totally categorizable in one way," Hannah Einbinder told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott about what drew her to the project. "The way that it uses horror slasher tropes to ultimately be something that is empowering is just cool. I hadn't seen anything like it." Gillian Anderson said the impact was apparent the moment she walked onto the set. "It's one thing to read something on the page," she said. "And then there's another thing, stepping onto a set that has been so perfectly production designed and created for the sole purpose of the viewing public. There's a meta aspect of it that I don't even think I anticipated." Listen to this conversation about one of the most original films of the year. Watch the video on YouTube.

Eric Goode and his producing partner Jeremy McBride have made a run of hit documentaries about what happens when humans get a little too into certain animals. With Netflix's Tiger King and HBO's Chimp Crazy, Goode explored the personalities behind the obsessions. In both cases, his subjects ended up in prison. Now, with Monsters of God, airing on HBO, Goode turns to exotic reptiles and the people who smuggle them. It is his most personal series yet. Goode, a turtle conservationist, comes to realize he is not only observing. He's also part of the problem. Goode and McBride chatted with Newsweek's H. Alan Scott about the series and why it's their most personal yet.

Alan Scott reviews Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest chapter in Tom Holland's run as the wall crawler under director Destin Daniel Cretton.

Crystal Methyd just became the first Drag Race winner out of Missouri, and she is not slowing down. She sits down with Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to unpack her All Stars run, why she waited to return after a pandemic-era original season, and the tour she just announced: the Enchanted Forest Tour, a full stage production with dancers, puppets and chaos hitting the road soon. Then runner-up Joey Jay talks through one of the wildest arcs the franchise has ever produced: eliminated in the third bracket, brought back for the final round, then storming all the way to the top two. Joey gets honest about playing the game on RuPaul's orders, taking improv classes to sharpen the comedy, and why drag is camp first and glory second. Two friends, two very different paths to the finale, one very good conversation.

Reality TV is having a moment and Gibson Johns is here to break it all down. The podcast host and pop culture expert joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to unpack the Zach and Bryce bromance that took over Love Island USA this season, a friendship so beloved it arguably outshined every actual couple in the villa. Then it's on to Summer House, which just landed its first ever Emmy nomination after a season of scandal that gripped the Bravoverse. And finally, the two celebrate 20 years of The Real Housewives, a franchise so dominant it just spawned an entirely new show, The Golden Life, reuniting the RHONY legends in Palm Beach.

Newsweek's H. Alan Scott sits down with Julie Klausner to talk New York's chaotic summer, the meaning of "cool" across generations and why Hulu's Difficult People is finally getting a physical release on Blu-ray. They dig into chosen family on screen, from The Golden Girls to Will & Grace, and how friendship, not romance, has always been Julie's favorite story to tell. Julie reflects on the show's legacy, the shift from peak TV to algorithm-driven content and why she still believes in creating for its own sake. As she puts it, "my obligation as an artist" is "to make things and connect with people."

Tristan Schukraft is one of the most influential figures in queer life right now, and chances are you already know his work. He's the founder of MISTR, the free online platform that has become the largest prescriber of PrEP in the U.S., representing 20% of all prescriptions nationwide. He's the owner of the Abbey, the legendary West Hollywood gay bar in Los Angeles. And he's the man behind Tryst Hotels, a growing collection of boutique properties built specifically for queer travelers, with locations open and in development from Puerto Vallarta to Provincetown to Rio de Janeiro. This week, Newsweek's H. Alan Scott sits down with Schukraft to talk about why he started MISTR, how it works for both insured and uninsured patients, and why eliminating new HIV infections in the U.S. is closer to reality than most people realize. They also get into the Sister platform, National PrEP Day with Cardi B, bringing the Real Housewives to Capitol Hill and what it actually takes to preserve queer institutions at a moment when so many are disappearing. Plus, Schukraft opens up about his six boyfriends, his Razor scooter hustle and why he built his dream hotel after one too many mojitos on a Puerto Rican beach.

Alan Scott is joined by Newsweek colleagues (and reality TV fanatics) Jenni Fink and Lauren Giella to break down the state of reality television. From oversaturation and the YouTube disruption to the kumbaya effect killing our favorite franchises, they get into why reality TV is at a turning point and what it's going to take to save it. Also: a personal plea for Lisa Rinna.

Jace of The Comic Source is joined by Rocky from Comic Boom! for this week's DC Spotlight as they break down a lighter but still varied week of DC releases. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #50 gets discussed for its Dr. Destiny dream story, Superman's dream Supermobile, and a backup featuring Robin, Supergirl, Batgirl and Jimmy Olsen in a rivalry-fueled mystery. Batman/Static Beyond #5 continues to build around older Static mentoring a younger Batman Beyond while Failsafe and the larger Q-energy conflict move the story forward. Adventures of Superman: Book of El #7 delivers another dense chapter in the House of El saga with Otho-Ra, the future descendants of Superman and the larger science fiction mythology continuing to expand. Batman #8 is a slower setup issue centered on Bruce Wayne's conversation with Alan Scott, the threat of Vandal Savage, and Gotham's mayor Poison Ivy turning the city against Batman and Robin. Absolute Superman #18 stands out with Lois Lane confronting Talia al Ghul over her father's death, Ra's al Ghul showing the effect Superman has had on him, and the issue introducing Absolute versions of John Henry Irons and King Shazam while also hinting at the Phantom Stranger. Poison Ivy #43 continues G. Willow Wilson's character-driven run with Pamela Isley using her position as mayor to go after Gotham's corruption, while also advancing the fallout with Harley Quinn, Janet from HR and the consequences of Bob Venus. Bizarro: Year None #1 offers a different take on Bizarro through a Jimmy Olsen and Perry White focused story that sends them to Bizarro World, with the Daily Planet itself playing into that world's creation. JSA #18 wraps up the Year One material while also including more of the Search for the Spectre backup and its focus on the newer generation of Justice Society characters. Mad About DC #1 serves as a full Mad Magazine-style send-up of DC characters, creators and fandom with multiple standout gags and a tone both hosts found genuinely funny. Batgirl #18 leans deeper into the Spirit World mythology, Cassandra Cain's growing connection to the Wu clan, and the question of whether Lady Shiva is capable of redemption. The episode also includes a rundown of the week's collected editions along with rankings for the books discussed and selections for Book of the Week.

Step into assignment. Start with what's in front of you. Keep moving, and strength will come. In Week 2 of God Might, Alan traces Gideon's journey from hidden weakness to courageous obedience. What begins in fear moves toward surrender, worship, and bold action as God strips away self-reliance and reveals that His power works best through surrendered people. This message follows the movement of Judges 6–7: start with what is in front of you, don't despise small beginnings, surrender what you trust, and step boldly into what God is asking of you. Alan reminds us that assignment rarely begins when we feel ready. It begins when we respond. God gives power to the weak, increases strength to those who have none, and often calls us forward before we feel strong enough to go. The invitation is not to rely on your own ability, but to trust the Spirit, surrender what props you up, and discover how God turns weakness into strength. If you've been hesitating, waiting for clarity, or holding back until you feel stronger, this message is a call to move with what God has already placed in front of you: Step into assignment. Surrender what you trust. Let His power rest on you.

Riz Ahmed wants to make "category killers" — and ‘Bait,' his new Prime Video series about a London actor faking a James Bond audition, is exactly that. He sits down with Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about the show's wild tonal range, why being brown in the West can feel like living in a spy thriller, and whether ‘Bait' is, as he puts it, his James Bond audition. Not saying it is, not saying it isn't.

The Comeback is back, and Michael Patrick King is here to talk about it. The co-creator and director joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to break down how he and Lisa Kudrow arrived at the idea of Valerie Cherish being cast in the first sitcom written by AI, what it means to finally see Valerie in the real world without cameras, and why they only return to the show when there's a seismic cultural shift worth exploring. He also gets into the origin of his creative partnership with Lisa, what makes her performance genuinely one of a kind, and why, after 21 years, this feels like the right moment to say goodbye to Valerie Cherish. Spoiler: it's a party, and you're invited.

Dan Bucatinsky has been in Valerie Cherish's corner since the very beginning, and he's here to make the case for why she's always been a heroine, not a punchline. The actor and producer behind Billy, Valerie's manager, joins Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about what makes this final season of The Comeback so emotionally satisfying, how the show manages to tackle AI without an agenda, and what it really means that Valerie is finally going head-to-head with the one person who knows her best. He also opens up about his decades-long creative partnership with Lisa Kudrow, the beautiful way season three honors the legacy of Robert Michael Morris (Mickey), and why, even as the cameras stop rolling on Valerie Cherish, he's not entirely ready to call it goodbye.

She's back, and she needs to be heard. Lisa Kudrow joins the Newsweek's H. Alan Scott to talk about The Comeback season three, the one we didn't know we were waiting for but absolutely needed. We get into an evolved Valerie Cherish navigating AI, a gut-punch tribute to Robert Michael Morris and what it means that Val is suddenly the one in the room who has it most together. As Kudrow puts it, "everybody is in that place that Val was 20 years ago"—and she's not wrong. Plus: that ‘Friends' moment, and why Stage 24 will finally have its hit TV show. This one is heartfelt, funny and essential listening for any fan of the show.

We're dropping into your feed a day early for this St. Patrick's Day episode, as we look ahead to the August debut of HBO Max's Lanterns and discuss the first appearances of Green Lanterns Alan Scott and Hal Jordan -- followed for no particular reason by a couple of Tales of the Green Lantern Corps written by Alan Moore! First, in "The Green Lantern!" from 1940's All-American Comics #16, construction engineer Alan Scott meets a talking lantern that used to be … a meteor in ancient China? It's a whole thing. Then, in "S.O.S. Green Lantern!" and "Secret of the Flaming Spear!" from 1959's Showcase #22, test pilot Hal Jordan is selected to succeed dying space cop Abin Sur and become an intergalactic lawman! Last but not least, Green Lantern Tomar Re explains to his colleague Arisia just why "Mogo Doesn't Socialize" in 1985's Green Lantern #188! And we get a glimpse into Abin Sur's final moments in "Tygers" from 1986's Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #2! Will Alan Scott and Hal Jordan prevail in their strikingly similar first adventures? Will Bolphunga the Unrelenting ever find the mysterious Mogo? Why does Abin Sur need a spaceship when his ring has the power of flight? And can these stirring tales of heroic space patrolmen survive the Blackest Night and break on through to that Brightest Day known as … The Comics Canon?

This week on Out on the Lanai, we're joined by writer Hiko Mitsuzuka for a deep dive into the career of Herb Edelman, the man behind Dorothy's delightfully insufferable ex-husband, Stan Zbornak. We discuss their favorite Stan episodes, how Edelman elevated Bea Arthur's Dorothy and made her funnier, and the wild story of how his career took off after Mike Nichols happened to get into his cab. It's a celebration of one of The Golden Girls' most memorable recurring characters and the actor who brought him to life.Follow Hiko Mitsuzuka: https://www.instagram.com/thefirstechoSave $50 off LifeRX and join H.
