It's the episode you've all been waiting for - Seth Rogen joins us to talk about the Coens' 1998 stoner classic The Big Lebowski. It should come as no surprise that Lebowski has loomed large over Seth's work as a writer and director, and we're going in depth on the influence and lasting impact of The Dude. Make yourself a White Russian (but maybe take a Lactaid first), turn off The Eagles, and settle in for a hilarious three hours of film analysis and Hollywood anecdotes. Oh, and if you were wondering - in this episode, someone is made to answer for his crimes against Sammy Fabelman. Finally.

To the White Sea is back to discuss HONEY DON'T!—the slapjacking new film from Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke—and we're bringing a new episode format to attempt to wrap our minds around this monumental moment.  We've gathered some of our favorite minds of filmmaking and film analysis—Melissa Tuckman, Ben Brewer, and Emilio Diaz—for an unrehearsed panel discussion affectionately dubbed The McDunnough Group. We explore important issues of the day including how this new film differs from a Joel and Ethan collaboration, how a more varied filmmaking approach impacts the experience of the viewer, and whether the film successfully defines its moral universe. Thank you so much to all of the panel guests. Special thanks to Focus Features. Coens Covered: Honey Don't!, Drive-Away Dolls, The Big Lebowski, The Ladykillers, Burn After Reading Plus: Supervixens, Before Sunset, Punch-Drunk Love, Love Lies Bleeding, Death Proof “In livelier precincts, the swells of Dreamland gather to inspect the complicated weave of another piece of gossamer… Another movie, another portion of balm for the ache of a toiling mankind.” Want to join the study group?

Today we're excited to be joined by Will Menaker and Hesse Deni—cohosts of Movie Mindset, as well as Chapo Trap House and Seeking Derangements respectively—to split the everlasting light of cinema via a prism of great importance: tensions between the old and the young in the films of the Coen brothers. Jumping off from a thrilling duel between Muldrow and the blind swordsman we unpack the trope of The Old Gunslinger vs. The Kid, and from there fan out across a galaxy of cigar-chomping geezers, stoned Bar Mitzvah boys, goldbricking veterans of forgotten wars, and house partying dybbuks. Thank you to Will and Hesse for this life- and movie-affirming conversation! Thank you also to the great Chris Wade for helping setting this up.

We talk about the most talked about movie that we haven't talked about yet.

As we continue or Summer of Sam, we bring in Sam Elliott and finally rolling into the lanes of one of cinema's most beloved cult classics: The Big Lebowski. Starring Jeff Bridges as the effortlessly iconic “The Dude,” John Goodman as the unhinged Vietnam vet Walter, Steve Buscemi as the soft-spoken Donny, Julianne Moore as the enigmatic Maude, and John Turturro as the unforgettable Jesus Quintana, this 1998 Coen Brothers comedy had us laughing, quoting, and marveling at how well it still holds up. Whether it's the surreal dream sequences, the endlessly quotable dialogue, or the offbeat charm of every character, The Big Lebowski remains as fresh and funny as ever.Revisiting this film felt less like watching a movie and more like hanging out with old friends. The humor has aged beautifully—if anything, it's even sharper now that we're older and more attuned to its satirical brilliance. With a supporting cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tara Reid, and David Huddleston, the film continues to deliver unexpected laughs and layered performances. The Dude abides, and so do we. Join us for a nostalgic, hilarious, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about what makes this film a true masterpiece of modern comedy.Stick around for a round of Trivia after the conversation.Safe bowling, dudes.

Like a seashell to your ear, we are here. In this extra special episode of To the White Sea we are thrilled and honored to welcome Academy Award-winning sound editor Skip Lievsay, who has worked on more Coen brothers movies than the Coen brothers themselves! This paradox wrapped in an enigma will be unraveled along with so much more. Together we listen closely to scenes of “perfect quiet” when the volume of the soundtrack drops down to almost zero, yet it's in this zone where a whole galaxy of perception may be unlocked. We explore how these quiet scenes build tension, intimacy, tactility, and subjectivity. We also discuss Skip's fascinating working relationship with the Coens, as well as Martin Scorsese, Terrence Malick, and Darren Aronofsky. Immense thanks to Skip Lievsay, Kyle Miller, Mitchell Wareham, and Nina Leitenberg for their time and effort. Mega special thanks to Kate Sanford making this connection.

Cat from the Cinémathèque joined the Breakfast Show to share details about the return of Luxembourg's beloved open-air cinema series, set to begin on the 25th July in Place Guillaume II. With screenings curated by the Cinémathèque, this summer's programme promises a diverse mix of European cinema, Hollywood classics, and hidden gems, all shown under the stars in one of the city's most iconic squares. The open-air season opens with Charlie Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator', chosen for its enduring political resonance and cinematic legacy. The line-up spans from 1940s classics like 'Sunset Boulevard' to modern Oscar-winner 'Flow', a dialogue-free animated film from Latvia. Audiences can also enjoy cult favourites such as The Big Lebowski', 'The Goonies', 'La La Land', 'Plein Soleil', and 'The Devil Wears Prada'. The films, shown in their original languages with English or French subtitles, are carefully selected to appeal to a wide range of tastes and generations. “We wanted to offer something for everyone,” Cat explained on air, noting the thoughtful blend of cinephile picks and crowd-pleasers. In addition to the outdoor screenings, the Cinémathèque will temporarily close its historic indoor cinema on the 1st August with a farewell series titled 'A Love Letter to Cinema', celebrating stories about filmmaking itself. This final programme will run through early September before the screening room temporarily closes for renovation. With over 25 years of experience in hosting open-air screenings, the Cinémathèque continues to play a central role in Luxembourg's cultural life. Full programme details and practical information can be found at www.cinematheque.lu

In this deep reflective and wild as hell episode. I sat down with author, photographer, and podcast host James Walters. For a conversation that flows from the power of perspective. To the absurd brilliance of The Big Lebowski, and what is to be the dude man.James shares how he built a career telling other people's stories through his photography. Until life handed him a hard reset and forced him to ask What now? That question sparked a decade-long transformation. Leading to his podcast A Joyful Rebellion, and his storytelling-driven book Meditations of the Mundane. Let's not forget his renewed commitment to writing his own life's script.We dived into how "boring" things. Like bike tracks in dried mud or sandstone retaining walls. Which when look at it from a different lens can hold surprising meaning. We talked about creative burnout, artistic reinvention. Looking at how comedy, photography, film, and subversive design. all intersect in the weirdest, most brilliant ways.If you love rabbit holes, cult classic cinema, philosophy with bite. Brutally honest conversations about making art in a chaotic world, this one's for you.Where to Find the Guest?

Dana and Tom with 5x club member, Shane Rogers (Comedian and Host of Midnight Facts for Insomniacs) and Jesse Sertle (fellow group member of CineMadison) discuss the movie that created the biggest film franchise of all-time, Star Wars (1977): written and directed by George Lucas, cinematography by Gilbert Taylor, music by John Williams, starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Alec Guinness, and James Earl Jones.Plot Summary: Star Wars is set in a galaxy far, far away under the oppressive rule of the Galactic Empire. The story follows a young farm boy, Luke Skywalker, who discovers his destiny when he comes across a pair of droids carrying secret plans for the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star. With the guidance of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as well as the help of a roguish pilot, Han Solo, his co-pilot Chewbacca, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, Luke embarks on a daring mission to rescue Princess Leia from the clutches of Darth Vader and to aid the Rebel Alliance in their fight for freedom. The film is a tale of heroism, hope, and the battle between good and evil.Guests:Shane RogersComedian and Host of Midnight Facts for InsomniacsPreviously on Broadcast News (1987), The Big Lebowski (1998), Superman: The Movie (1978), There's Something About Mary (1998), This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Ex Machina (2015)Jesse Sertlefellow group member of CineMadisonpreviously on Rounders (1998), Easy Rider (1969), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)@jsertle on IGChapters:00:00 Introduction and Welcome Back to Shane and Jesse02:31 A Significant Movie in the History of GMOAT03:13 Cast and Background for Star Wars08:18 Relationship(s) with Star Wars18:25 What is Star Wars About?23:43 Will Star Wars Ever Be at the Peak of Culture Again?34:15 Plot Summary for Star Wars35:19 Did You Know?37:11 First Break38:00 What's Up with Shane Rogers and Jesse Sertle39:29 Best Performance(s)48:45 Best/Favorite/Indelible Scene(s)01:00:08 Second Break01:00:47 In Memoriam01:04:04 Best/Funniest Lines01:08:24 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy01:14:04 The Stanley Rubric -...

Moving from the absurd to the irreverent, today Alex and Jonathan look at three films which encompass a subset of comedy in which the characters are under the influence in some form or fashion: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), The Big Lebowski (1998), and The Hangover (2009). We discuss the glorification and justification of the stoner, the primary motivations and conflicts which typically arise, and how the characteristics of the stoner are seen in films and characters beyond literal stoners.Skip to:(08:53) – Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure(23:39) – The Big Lebowski(42:40) – The Hangover(52:51) – Overall(1:02:13) – Coming AttractionsComing Attractions:Mean Girls (2004)Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)The Fall Guy (2024)For more information, visit the blog:https://thefilmlings.com/2025/04/25/the-stonersJoin us on Discord for ongoing film discussion:https://discord.gg/MAF6jh59cF

Filmmaker Brandon Guiles joins us for a laid-back sesh where we talk creative struggles, favorite stoner flicks, why $50K cameras aren't worth it (yet), and swap spooky stories—including the time a ghost allegedly haunted our studio. We also touch on improv acting, cannabis paranoia, and the magic of bad horror movies. Whether you're lighting up or just chilling out, this episode is one big vibe.

Is That A Big Lebowski Joke?

Happy Hump Day, yo! Slight chance of some rain today…but it looks more likely tomorrow. In the news this morning, the latest on the Pope, including the possibility that the next Pope could be an American. Plus, the FDA announces a ban on a food dye, certain Walmarts are locking up steaks again, former MN Senator Eichorn plead "not guilty", and a lottery official in Texas has resigned after multiple investigations. In sports, the Brewers cruised to a win over the Giants last night, the Bucks lost again to the Pacers, and a look at the rest of the NBA & NHL scoreboards from last night's games. Elsewhere in sports, the upcoming schedule for the playoffs in the NBA and NHL, the NFL draft gets underway tomorrow night from Green Bay, and TCU & UNC are playing the 2026 season opener in Ireland. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and had an interesting conversation about Steve Buscemi's character from "The Big Lebowski". In case you were unaware, he gets killed in the movie…and speaking of character deaths, we also discussed a list of the most shocking TV character deaths of all time. Remember Buford the dog from last week? He helped save a toddler that wandered several miles away from home. Well…he's getting showered with gifts by people from all over. And in other dog-related news, a bunch of firefighters in North Carolina were called-in to rescue a puppy that had fallen into a storm drain. Not ground-breaking news, but older people keep a running tab on things that they think the younger generation cannot or will not do…including some common skills that they think Gen-Z lacks. Today is "Administrative Professionals Day", so if you've got a dedicated & hard-working person in your office, make sure you thank them today! It's also "World Book Day", so we looked at the results of a study about our reading habits. Did you see the seagull at the Cubs game on Easter? Looks like the Lord blessed the bird with a mouth-ful of wiener. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan that attacked an 11 year-old who he accused of egging his apartment, a couple of brothers that got arrested and are being charged with child porn & sex with a cow, a man in Texas who killed his own mother while trying to perform an exorcism on her, and a postal worker in #Florida who stopped at a house party while on her route.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's finally time to discover the future of bathrooms. What is it? What will it be? A toilet with a battery? That weird grilling situation from the old Home Improvement episodes? A sink with “good vibes”?? Nope! It's got to be a bidet with a sticker of “The Dude” from Big Lebowski on it. If that's what the future of bathrooms is, then get me that damn DeLorean! I'm going back to the past!! Is that what happened in that movie? I honestly don't remember. I hate Back to the Future. But this isn't about that. It's about other stuff.Like an incomprehensible AI show, an inscrutable AI text messaging app, and a downright confusing conspiratorial book pitch from a guy I wouldn't trust to find an Easter egg, much less a missing person. Easter's coming up. Don't forget to get your eggs. Oh God, I just realized…Easter's gonna cost a fortune this year!! Uh yeah, this IS the worst timeline. And me without a DeLorean again…don't that beat all! (Did they do multiverses in those movies? I honestly don't know)Music for YKS is courtesy of Howell Dawdy, Craig Dickman, Mr. Baloney, and Mark Brendle. Additional research by Zeke Golvin. YKS is edited by Producer Dan.
