Pull up a seat at the bar to learn about drinking in movies with resident film guru - CJ Johnston.
There were big expectations in 2017 for the Baywatch movie. 21 Jump Street had shown that raunchy, irreverent takes on cheesy '80s and '90s TV shows could earn bofo box office, and with the dual star power of Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron, it looked as if Baywatch couldn't miss. But critics hated it and the movie was a flop at the box office, canceling Paramount's big plans for a Baywatch Cinematic Universe. So, what happened? And is the movie really as bad as its reputation? What does this movie think it is? Is it a raunchy R-rated comedy that wants to mock its source material? Or is it a loving tribute to the most-watched series in the world in the 1990s? It's… kind of neither. Does The Rock make any sense in the lead role of Lieutenant Mitch Buchanan, or has he fully entered the “most boring actor in every movie he's in” portion of his career? Why does the movie suddenly start working as a surprisingly functional comedy when The Rock inexplicably disappears from the movie for 25 minutes and Efron takes over as the lead? Join Laci, Matt, and our official Zac Efron correspondent Caleb for a spirited debate about a movie we're actually pretty divided on. Plus a deep dive into the history of Baywatch and an in-depth look at Dwayne Johnson's extended business empire. The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long!

Duunnn dunnn... duuuunnnn duun.Odds are you probably know what that line references without having to click the link. And there's a good reason for that.Sharks have been around for nearly 450 million years – a lot longer than humans. And in the relatively short time we've shared the planet with them, they've become a part of some of our most treasured pop culture moments. But that also means they've fallen victim to pop culture narratives.Since the release of "Jaws" in 1975, sharks – especially great white sharks – have endured a reputation as aggressive and violent. But however we're thinking about them on land, they're struggling to survive at sea.According to the World Wildlife Fund, nearly a third of all shark and ray species are threatened with extinction – with overfishing and harmful fishing practices at the top of the list of hazards.We get into all things sharks, from the so-called "Jaws-effect," to all the things we get wrong about this fascinating fish.Want to support 1A?

BT and Sal delve into the new Superman movie, set to release in 2025, with Sal expressing skepticism after seeing the trailer, while BT's son, Colt, is excited. They discuss past iterations of the Man of Steel, including the classic Christopher Reeve film and the "great" Man of Steel (2013) starring Henry Cavill and Amy Adams, noting this new film, starring David Corenswet, is a fresh take.

They also touch on the movie's Rotten Tomatoes score, with Sal finding the low score for Man of Steel surprising given how much he enjoyed it.

Liam and Cal return from last week's interview with Robin to celebrate the Man of Steel's return to the Big Screen with a #SuperFantasMonth celebration and a look back at Superman's first appearance in the television movie, later split into three parts for syndicated broadcast, known as "The Last Son of Krypton." The Good Brothers first reviewed this episode over seven years ago, so they're taking a look back and giving a thorough once over of each of the parts of this iconic launch of the DC Animated Universe with the pilot of Superman The Animated Series. Amongst the topics discussed are the slight departures and tweaks to the origin story from anything that came before this show, the eerily relevant concerns from Jor-El about the elevation and cultural reliance on Artificial Intelligence and the surveillance state's use of the technology. Plus how the show's mandate to look different from previous Superman shows and media and to set itself apart from Batman The Animated Series is showcased in the very first episode. Plus a review of the music composition from Lolita Ritmanis that returns for an equally tragic sequence in Justice League Unlimited, name checks to 90s cartoon ReBoot and why Corey Burton remains the GOAT.

Steven Spielberg's movie “Jaws” hit theaters 50 years ago this month, in June 1975, and became a phenomenon almost instantly. In some ways that was no surprise: The Peter Benchley novel it was based on, also called “Jaws,” had been a huge best seller the year before, and the public was primed for a fun summer scare. Brian Raftery — the author of “Best. Movie. Year. Ever: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen” — wrote about “Jaws” for the Book Review last year in honor of the novel's 50th anniversary, and this week he visits the podcast to talk about the book, the movie adaptation and the era of blockbuster thrillers.“If you've seen ‘Jaws,' you could probably guess what the opening chapter of the book is,” he tells Gilbert Cruz (who has indeed seen “Jaws,” dozens of times). “It's this shark attack, where this shark at night just devours this young female swimmer. The writing is really fun. It's really gnarly, and it's one of those amazing opening chapters where the book is moving as fast as the shark. After you read that first chapter, you are just completely pulled in.”We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.
