The big premiere of Sex In Your 40s at Gardena Cinema. The guy Christian Bale screamed at directed lots of the most iconic music videos of the 90s. There's a "King Conan" movie very possibly on the way, and something you've always dreamed of – another Godfather movie, but told from Connie Corleone's perspective! That's a surefire hit if I've ever heard of one. I went to see Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia, and have some thoughts about it as an aging film nerd. I also went to see The Mandalorian movie, and it was about as intricate and thought-provoking as an episode of The Smurfs.
Mike White May is all Sean Connery all month long, but now it must come to an end, and it comes to an end with a monk murder mystery with The Name of the Rose. Starring Connery as a thin facsimilie of Sherlock Holmes and Christian Bale as a young stand-in for Watson as they investigate an abbey in the north of Italy where strange murders have been taking place. Richard Hatem's Paranormal Bookshelf's Richard Hatem joins the show to talk all about the film and star Elya Baskin is interviewed about his time on the film.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.
On episode 156 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by film critic Jake Tropila discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, The Prestige (2006). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to break down, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. Just a year after dazzling audiences with Batman Begins, Nolan returned with a film that would become one of the best films of his career, about two magicians dueling each other for the right to produce not only the best magic trick of all time, but to be the last man standing in a feud that costs more than anyone could imagine. In being a film about filmmaking as well as a stellar adaptation of the Christopher Priest novel, Nolan made his darkest, most cynical film to date; a twisted tale about the sacrifices it takes to create art, and the obsession that consumes someone when they are close to reaching an immortality level of fame. Ryan, Jay, and Jake break down their thoughts on the film, how much The Prestige is a cousin to Memento in terms of tone, where Christian Bale is within his career, why Hugh Jackman has never delivered a better performance than this, the power of David Bowie, the horrid accent of Scarlett Johansson, the logic of the film's twist, the wild differences between the film and the original novel, and if seeing/knowing a film's twist helps or hurts a film's rewatchability.

Host Anthony Desiato and guest Rob O'Connor (All Star Superfan Podcast) shine a light on the 2005 film BATMAN BEGINS, directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Christian Bale, which made an outsized impact on the character and superhero movie genre. They discuss how the film shaped them as younger Batman fans; the scope of the origin story told — well beyond the typical moment of Bruce with his slain parents in the alley; key themes of fear & falling; direct comic book influences on Nolan, including the relatively obscure short story "The Man Who Falls" from 1989; and the choice & utilization of Ra's al Ghul & Scarecrow as the primary antagonists.Support the show and receive exclusive podcast content at Patreon.com/AnthonyDesiato!Visit BCW Supplies and use promo code FSP to save 10% on your next order of comics supplies.Join the conversation on the social media channels for parent podcast Digging for Kryptonite:FACEBOOK GROUP: Digging for Kryptonite: A Superman Fan GroupFACEBOOK PAGE: @diggingforkryptonitepodINSTAGRAM: @diggingforkryptonitepodTWITTER: @diggingforkrpodBLUESKY: @diggingforkrpod.bsky.socialEMAIL: flatsquirrelproductions@gmail.comWEBSITE: FlatSquirrelProductions.comLighting the Bat-Signal is a Flat Squirrel Production.

On episode 155 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by podcaster, film critic Bob Goochman discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, Batman Begins (2005). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. In the summer of 2005, Warner Brothers took the risk of handing over the world of Batman to Christopher Nolan, hoping he could revive a franchise that leaned too much into the cheesy nature of the Schumacher era, and had run the character into a bit of a joke on the big screen. With Nolan at the helm, he created a comic book film set in a world not too different than ours, and allowed for us to go on an emotional, action packed journey not just with the Caped Crusader, but with his real identity, Bruce Wayne. In doing this, Nolan delivered a massively entertaining blockbuster that would elevate his status to another level than what he was before, and showed he could handle such a monumental task; thus he never stopped making films of this size again. Ryan, Jay, and the Gooch break down their thoughts on the film, why the Batman property got stuck, Nolan's vision and version of Gotham City, how scary the film is at times, the use of mostly unknown villains at the time, the acting of Christian Bale and Katie Homes, and that epic reveal of the Joker card at the end of the film, signaling something grand is on its way.

Timecop (1994) Director: Peter HyamsCast: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mia Sara, Ron Silver, Bruce McGillTime travel has been invented — and naturally, someone's already trying to weaponize it to steal an election. Welcome to Timecop, the 1994 JCVD action sci-fi spectacle where the mullets are questionable, the CGI is deeply committed to being bad, and the concept is actually way more interesting than it has any right to be.In this week's episode of Dewey Pod Monster, Sean and John strap in, hit 88 mph (or whatever the hell they use in this movie), and dive into one of Jean-Claude Van Damme's most enduring and most gloriously flawed films.In this episode, we discuss:Same Matter, Different Problems — The movie beats you over the head with its one rule of time travel — "the same matter can't occupy the same space at the same time" — exactly five zillion times, and somehow still makes a mess of it. We break down every paradox, plot hole, and moment where the logic completely waved goodbye and walked off a cliff.1994 Predicted Everything (Badly) — Ron Silver's corrupt senator wants to buy the presidency using time-stolen money and the power of television. In 2004. It's played as a sinister, far-fetched scheme. We... had some feelings about how eerily close to home that lands in 2025.The CGI Crimes of Our Time — From the rubber-faced time-warp tunnel sequences to the absolute train wreck of Ron Silver touching Ron Silver, this movie's visual effects are a special kind of ambitious failure. We discuss what a modern reboot could do with 30 extra years of technology — and why we'd actually show up for that.We Also Talked About:Body Count (1986) (Tubi)— Sean caught this Ruggero Deodato (of Cannibal Holocaust fame) Italian slasher set in an autumnal forest. Incoherent plot, Friday the 13th vibes that go completely off the rails, and a banger theme song by Claudio Simonetti that rivals Friday the 13th Part III. Charles Napier and David Hess show up. Available on Tubi if you're feeling adventurous.I'm Going to Be Famous (1983) (Ok.Ru) — A direct-to-video melodrama about aspiring actors gunning for their big break, featuring Dick Sargent (I Dream of Jeannie) as a theatrical director. It goes places. Specifically, it ends with a live on-air shooting and a farmer dad beaming with pride that his son is finally on TV. Sean does not heartily recommend it but cannot stop talking about it.Widow's Bay (Apple Tv)— A new Apple TV+ horror-comedy series starring Matthew Rhys (Perry Mason, The Americans) as the skeptical mayor of a cursed New England island. Sean is fully sold — it leans hard into the comedy and actually sticks the landing, which John argues is the only way a horror-comedy works. Eight episodes, dropping weekly.Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films (2014) (Youtube) — John calls this a high recommend for anyone who grew up watching late '70s and '80s action trash. A relentlessly entertaining documentary full of insane production stories, Golan and Globus being magnificently delusional, Tobe Hooper being surprisingly articulate, and more T&A than any non-pornographic documentary has any business containing. Pair with The Go-Go Boys but watch that one first.The Bride (2025) (Amazon) — Maggie Gyllenhaal directs this very loose Bride of Frankenstein retelling with Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley. Looks gorgeous. Both leads are great. Opens five storylines and closes exactly zero of them satisfyingly. Goth Moulin Rouge meets Bonnie and Clyde vibes. John is somewhere in the middle, but would absolutely watch a sequel.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.

THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN goes all Bonnie and Clyde and JOKER on us while Jessie Buckley screams at the camera and Christian Bale mumbles something vaguely coherent about needing a shag! But does this recently-released feminist take on the Universal classic work or is it simply a monster mash of too many ideas not fully realised?

This week on Movie Mistrial, we descend into the shadows of Gotham as we revisit Christopher Nolan's bold reboot, Batman Begins.Batman Begins reinvents the superhero origin story with grounded realism, emotional depth, and a commanding performance by Christian Bale. Nolan's darker tone and focus on fear, trauma, and justice helped redefine comic book films for a new generation. While hugely influential, some viewers feel its pacing is uneven, with heavy exposition in the first act and action sequences that can be visually murky compared with its sequels.Join us as we explore the beginning of The Dark Knight. Is this the definitive Batman origin—or merely the setup for greater things to come?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaWebsite: www.moviemistrial.com

Did the Terminator franchise really need to live on past James Cameron's excellent T2: Judgment Day? Probably not! But Hollywood can't let a good (or moneymaking) franchise die. And so after the strong performance of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, not even franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger leaving movies for the world of politics could kill the series. But what is a franchise to do when it's under new ownership and it's lost it's usual leading man? The makers of the fourth entry decided to use the opportunity to finally deliver a movie the franchise's fans had been clamoring for since the beginning - a film set entirely during the post Judgment Day future war. And they recruited two new powerhouse leading men to front it - Christian Bale, a newly minted Hollywood blockbuster star after the mega-success of The Dark Knight, and Sam Worthington, a name on the rise about to also star in the same year's most anticipated blockbuster, Avatar (from, yep...James Cameron). So what could possibly go wrong? Well, the pre-release leak of audio of Bale freaking out and yelling at a crewmember, which overshadowed much else of the film's release, might be the start of the answer...but what about the movie itself?

Prepare-se para conhecer o lado mais sombrio — e ao mesmo tempo mais humano — do Cavaleiro das Trevas! Em Batman Begins, dirigido pelo visionário Christopher Nolan, o bilionário traumatizado Bruce Wayne (interpretado com intensidade por Christian Bale) decide que a melhor forma de lidar com seus traumas não é terapia, mas sim vestir uma capa e assustar criminosos com morcegos.Ao seu lado, temos o mordomo mais sábio e sarcástico do cinema, Michael Caine como Alfred, o mestre ninja misterioso Liam Neeson como Ducard, o vilão psiquiatra enlouquecido Cillian Murphy como Espantalho, além de Gary Oldman dando vida ao incorruptível Jim Gordon e Morgan Freeman como o engenheiro que transforma gadgets militares em brinquedos para super-heróis.O filme foi um marco porque tirou o Batman da caricatura colorida dos anos 90 e o trouxe de volta às raízes sombrias e realistas. Gotham deixou de ser um parque temático e virou uma cidade crível, cheia de corrupção e perigo. Com isso, Nolan redefiniu o gênero de super-heróis, mostrando que histórias de quadrinhos podiam ser adultas, filosóficas e cinematograficamente grandiosas.PIX: canalfilmesegames@gmail.comSiga o Filmes e Games:Instagram: filmesegames Facebook: filmesegames Twitter: filmesegamesSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KfJKthPodcast: https://anchor.fm/fgcastIntro - 0:00Batman Beijinhos - 4:33O que é "Batman Begins"? - 5:01Notas dos agregadores - 12:18Tirando o bode da sala - 13:17O Batman assassino - 34:04Bat-branding - 35:28Grandes Cenas - 36:00Que elenco! - 37:08As bat-bugigangas "realistas" - 38:35Explicações - 40:18Sobre riqueza - 43:52Batman: Ano Um - 47:35Batman v Freeway - 49:41O envenenamento do povo - 51:11Pra chorar - 53:34O "chocante" Espantalho - 54:47O armamento Wayne - 57:27Notas do Filmes e Games - 57:44Premiações - 1:02:10Bilheteria - 1:02:36Momento Locadora - 1:03:48Resultado da Enquete do FGcast #424 - 1:47:34Dicas do FGcast #425 - 1:53:29

Send us Fan MailOur 2026 Classics Series is coming to a close with today's very special episode covering not only the 1868 novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, but also the 1994 and 2019 film adaptations. We deep dive, rate and review, and rank them all. Was the book our favorite this time around? Or did Christian Bale's hair or Greta Gerwig's feminist-leaning script steal our hearts? This episode is our response to the many things that so many female authors across centuries have been using literature to say. Women's lives are important when examining the simple mundanity of their day to day experiences, as well as their extraordinary contributions and achievements. Not just because we are people, but because to exist in society as a woman is to understand that our personal lives are never separate from politics, religion, gender constructs, economics and all the other systemic influences that determine one's position. All three iterations of this amazing story hold such important lessons and criticisms, not unlike the other two novels we previously covered: Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. We hope that you enjoyed our reading guides as well as our deep dive coverage into these classic novels because we plan to cover more next year!ANNNND… Stick around till' the end for some fun Little Women lore and our very first announcement of what HIGHLY REQUESTED and POPULAR dystopian science fiction series we'll be covering this summer, beginning in July!

Another fun-filled, off-the-rails episode of Nerds Talking is here, and Lafayette and Carlos waste no time diving straight into the week's biggest entertainment headlines—starting with all the buzz coming out of CinemaCon. From surprise reveals to behind-the-scenes shakeups, they break down the juiciest tidbits and what it all means for movie fans.Then things get serious… or at least as serious as Nerds Talking gets. The duo takes on the impossible task of defining what the next James Bond should look like. Who fits the tux? Who brings the edge? And how long can two nerds debate 007 before spiraling? (Answer: a while.)Next up, Lafayette delivers his take on The Bride, starring Christian Bale and Jesse Buckley, giving listeners a spoiler-free breakdown of what works, what surprises, and what might divide audiences.But wait—it gets even more random. The conversation pivots into a nostalgic (and hilarious) deep dive into the many iconic looks of Michael Jackson. Which era reigns supreme? Thriller? Bad? Smooth Criminal? The debate is real.And just when you think the episode couldn't take another turn… somehow, we end up talking about turkeys. Yes. Actual turkeys.Tune in for laughs, hot takes, nostalgic throwbacks, and the kind of unpredictable energy that only Nerds Talking can deliver. This episode has a little bit of everything—and a whole lot of personality.Don't miss it!#NerdsTalkingPodcast #CinemaCon #MovieNews #JamesBond #FilmPodcast #ChristianBale #JesseBuckley #TheBrideMovie #MichaelJackson #PopCulturePodcast #EntertainmentNews #MovieReviews #FilmDebate #NerdCulture #PodcastLife #GeekTalk #WeeklyPodcast #FilmFans #PopCultureTalk #PodcastRecommendations

Director Christopher Nolan made his mark in the mid-2000s with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne. But between these two blockbusters, Nolan and Bale teamed up on another project, an adaptation of Christopher Priest's 1995 epistolary novel about two rival magicians in late 1800s England, with Hugh Jackman playing Bale's frenemy. In the mix are Michael Caine, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, Piper Perabo, and Andy Serkis, with David Bowie appearing as inventor Nikola Tesla. The modestly budgeted film successfully wowed audiences, earning over $100 million at the box office, and it scored Oscar noms for Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography. Now we're watching very closely to see if The Prestige still holds up twenty years later. Or, perhaps, its tricks no longer fool us… because you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Oh, no! Wrong movie! Abra-cadabra!

Movie Mike dives into the millennial optimism era which is being described on TikTok as a strangely comforting, slightly delusional time in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Mike shares what movies best represent this era from 500 Days of Summer to Easy A as he remembers a world of hipster aesthetics, early Instagram, and a belief that life would only improve, often contrasting with current, more cynical times. Mike gives his mini review of Disney-Pixar’s Hoppers. In the Movie Review, Mike shares his thoughts on THE BRIDE! starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. It takes place in 1930s Chicago where a groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious brings a murdered young woman back to life to be a companion for Frankenstein's monster. Mike shares his thoughts on Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale’s amazing performances but ultimately why it felt like Maggie Gyllenhaal was holding back on the story she wanted to tell. In the Trailer Park, Mike breaks down Scary Movie 6 and the long awaited return of the Wayans brothers. Can a raunch parody movie of this magnitude work in today’s climate? It marks the return of Anna Faris and Regina Hall 26 years after the original film first hit screens. New Episodes Every Monday!

Marriage milestones, celebrity meltdowns, and one of the greatest radio freakouts of all time — just another completely normal day on The Rizzuto Show.In this episode of the funny podcast chaos factory, Rizz celebrates a huge personal milestone: 20 years of marriage. That's two decades of early alarms, family chaos, and Amelia somehow still deciding not to trade him in for a newer model. The crew takes a moment to reflect on what it actually takes to survive 20 years of wedded bliss… including 4,000+ mornings of a 2:30AM alarm clock and almost 19,000 hours of solo parenting while Rizz talks nonsense on the radio.But the celebration quickly turns into the kind of hilarious derailment you expect from a daily comedy show when the infamous “Divorce Gorilla” gets brought back into the conversation. Nothing says romance like a guy in a gorilla suit serving legal papers.From there, the gang dives into one of the most relatable discussions ever: celebrity meltdowns we secretly understand. Britney Spears vs. paparazzi. Christian Bale absolutely losing it on a movie set. Ben Affleck's legendary “I'm done with everything” cigarette photo. The crew debates which public freak-outs were actually justified and which ones were just Hollywood chaos.The conversation also gets surprisingly real when the crew talks about artists canceling tours due to mental health struggles and the ripple effect that has on fans, crews, and the music industry. It's a rare moment where a comedy podcast accidentally becomes thoughtful before immediately returning to jokes about rage rooms and slapping coworkers.Of course, no episode would be complete without some classic Crap On Celebrities headlines, including pop star lawsuits, music news, streaming recommendations, and a new video game where you can literally play as a Karen and demand to speak to the manager.Add in classic radio clips, bizarre celebrity stories, and the crew roasting each other nonstop, and you've got another ridiculous installment of The Rizzuto Show funny podcast.Basically: marriage advice, celebrity chaos, and the kind of sarcastic humor that makes morning radio worth waking up for.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Speaking In Tongues Mary Shelley possesses Hamnet star Jessie Buckley and turns her into The Bride!, a politically charged sequel to her 1818 novel Frankenstein. But would the reinvigorated woman prefer not to be engaged to Christian Bale's Monster when his idea of romance is stomping on mobsters' heads while pretending he's tap dancing in a movie musical? And is director Maggie Gyllenhaal a mad scientist for fusing a Bonnie and Clyde love story with Gothic horror? Follow dubious detectives Brock, Stuart, and Arnie as they investigate this brain attack!
The Bride! goes way beyond a simple tale of literature's most famous reanimated corpses. Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, the film is a wild take on the bride of Frankenstein's monster. It follows her origin story, her relationship with the big lug himself, and her pursuit of her own distinct identity.

On today's show, Sean and Amanda break down Maggie Gyllenhaal's fascinating new movie, ‘The Bride!,' starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. They commend the film for its ambition and vision, highlight some of its utterly confounding fatal flaws, and debate the value of projects that reimagine old source material with modern ideas and context (4:17). Next, they make a list of their favorite reimaginings and reboots of all time (42:51). Then, they revisit Kleber Mendonca Filho's ‘The Secret Agent,' starring Wagner Moura. They explore why they found a rewatch of the movie to be incredibly rewarding, celebrate its singularity, and explain how Moura's towering performance centers the entire story for the audience (54:53). Finally, they cover the Oscar-nominated films for Best Documentary this year and critique the current state of the voting branch and what types of movies it rewards (1:29:26).

A new era of Mystery Crate officially begins — and it starts the only way we know how: arguing about the cold open, bullying each other's “sexy voice,” and accidentally creating a year-long competition that will absolutely ruin friendships.In this episode, we introduce Zas Storytime (Z-Storytime?), where Zas takes us back to old sports lore — including the day Glenn Rice dropped 56 and Zas basically chose basketball over Passover (no regrets). Then it gets even weirder: the infamous Bar Mitzvah shirt story (and the hunt for the legendary tank top continues).Plus: Punch the Monkey returns to the group chat thanks to a wild Christian Bale clip, the crew debates WWE and Elimination Chamber, and someone makes the case that Tom Brady vs Logan Paul might actually be a thing (Vegas energy!).And because the internet demanded it: we break down the viral McDonald's CEO vs Burger King CEO burger bite videos — including the most timid bite in fast-food history and why calling a burger an “excellent product” is a red flag.Finally, the big moment: we pick captains for the brand-new Mystery Crate team competition — a season-long format with drafts, trades, and enough petty scorekeeping to power the show for months.

The Devil's Ledger Week of March 2 Winter is doing what winter does — and depending on where you live, it's doing a lot of it. If you're under 35 and living in the Northeast, this may be the coldest winter of your life. In parts of the Southwest, it might be the warmest. Here in Los Angeles, it's been suspiciously perfect. Sorry to our friends back East. The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week Apparently, Bigfoot is alive and well… and wandering along power line clearings in the Upper Midwest. Multiple sightings, same week. Tall, broad, covered in dark hair, walking upright before disappearing into the tree line. Either it's misidentification — or something out there really prefers utility access roads. On The Devil Within We begin a two-part series on the possession of Anna Ecklund, one of the most documented exorcism cases in American history — a story that may connect back more than a century and across an ocean. On The Ides of April Alexander reaches Egypt and starts naming everything after himself — cities, allies, probably his lunch — until his exhausted army finally refuses to follow him any farther toward India. On Criminal Mischief Carolyn covers the trial of Kouri Richins, the mother who wrote a children's grief book after her husband's death — and now stands accused of causing it. On Taboo Treasures The guys dig into the long history of executions — and how capital punishment has become one of the most politically charged debates of our time. On Finding Me with Josh Wolf Josh continues his daily pursuit of accountability, honesty, and becoming the best version of himself — one uncomfortable truth at a time. This Week in Horror The Bride! reimagines the Frankenstein story in 1930s Chicago, starring Christian Bale, Jesse Buckley, and Jake Gyllenhaal. Follow The Devil's Ledger for weekly updates from across the Evio universe — and share it with someone who likes their news with a darker edge. Because sometimes the strangest stories aren't legends.

On today's action-packed episode, Sean first reacts to Netflix backing out of the bidding for Warner Brothers—clearing the path for a merger with Paramount (2:01). Next, he is joined by Chris Ryan to react to Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio's casting in Michael Mann's ‘Heat 2' and give a general temperature check on the movie (6:36). Then, they cover ‘Scream 7' and preface the conversation by discussing the rumored controversy behind the shuffling cast (16:17) before diving fully into spoilers and exploring the myriad of reasons why they found the film to be deeply unsuccessful (21:57). Later, Sean is joined by Amanda Dobbins and Adam Nayman to discuss one of their favorite movies of the year so far: Matt Johnson's ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.' They talk through why the movie is so hysterical, how its sincerity makes the movie feel moving, and why it became an instant cult classic (49:10). Finally, Sean is joined by Johnson to discuss why he felt he needed to make this movie right now, how having no knowledge of the original series actually makes the movie better, and what he's doing next with ‘Nirvanna the Band the Show' Season 3, as well as his Anthony Bourdain biopic ‘Tony,' starring Dominic Sessa (1:18:45).

It's a Valentine's Day recording, YFT'ers — but don't tell Wells, who thought it was last Thursday. Hey, early is better than late, right? Brandi is fresh off a show in Bend, Oregon, and we're ringing the YFT bell for Alaska Airlines for coming through in a clutch travel moment (can you believe we're saying that?).Your hosts dive into full Traitors mode — hypothetical superteams (Tish Cyrus as a traitor? Yes please), a method-actor wishlist (Christian Bale? Jennifer Lawrence? Daniel Day-Lewis? We'd watch that), and IRL Rob getting away with everything this season. Meanwhile, Wells admits he's never seen The Notebook and now has homework, and the duo spiral into more Olympic curling drama, autograph culture, best movie quotes, paparazzi messiness, and why the New Year should actually start in spring!
