Cardinal Robert Prevost was chosen as the new pope, taking the name Leo XIV. Born in Chicago, he is the first pontiff from the United States and is also a dual citizen of Peru. CBS News' Seth Doane has more. John Prevost, a retired Catholic school principal from Chicago, says he was stunned to see his younger brother named Pope Leo XIV and proud to witness his rise from priest to pontiff.

In a powerful story about mercy, Steve Hartman and his kids introduce us to Tricia Seaman, a nurse who honored her patient's dying wish by becoming a mother to her son. Justin Hartley joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss Colter Shaw's latest case and the emotional twists ahead as the hit CBS series "Tracker" closes out its record-breaking second season.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 362 - Poetry and DreamsI was looking through articles about Poe to find information for a future article regarding why do so many people read Edgar Allan Poe. And I found some great stuff and certainly will be writing an episode or two about that subject. But I found an article that said that more Americans - almost 3/4 - are familiar with Edgar Poe - more than any other poet.  Shakespeare is second.Now  this was the episode where I wanted to start some episodes on Bram Stoker - but it turns out there is a poetry workshop that is rather time sensitive, so I better get this out now.You see, on Thursday, April 24 there will be a free workshop from the Academy of American Poets online at YouTube - no charge at all, tho I doubt they would turn down donations.  All you need to do is register, and again, it is free. I have the URL on my Buzzsprout transcript and show notes - but in case you can't  remember URLS - I can't - it is https//poets.org/gala/2025 - - again, it is free - all you need to do is register in advance.  The readers include people such as Christine Baranski, Stephen King, Tony Kusher, Fran Lebowitz, and Lawrence O'Donnell - among others.Just wanted to be sure that you got the info about what is called Poetry and the Creative Mind - again, to be held on Thursday, April 24.By the way, Meryl Streep is extremely active in Poetry and the Creative Mind, and has read works by Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Plath, and Walt Whitman in programs across multiple years.By the way, poets.org.gala.2025 will take you to the registration page as well.For the rest of this episode, I would like to delve into several of Edgar Poe's poems that deal with dreams.  The three poems are Dreams, A Dream, and A Dream Within a Dream, and Dreamland - and boy, are they easy to mix up.  So take them in order considering the number of words in the title - I know it sounds simplistic but stay with me because it makes things soooo much easier.  And I am not going to include the poem Dreamland until the end of this podcast  - It is (in my opinion, a poem that is in a class by yourself.)Think 1, 2, and 5 - words that is -The title of Dreams is just one word, the title of A Dream is two words, and the title of the shortest and most mature work - A Dream Within a Dream is 5 words. Dreams and A Dream were both published in 1827 and A Dream Within a Dream was published in 1849 - the year of Edgar Poe's earthly demise.Let me say that again - The title of Dreams is just one word, the title of A Dream is two words, and the title of the most mature work - A Dream Within a Dream is 5 words. Dreams and A Dream were both published in 1827 and A Dream Within a Dream was published in 1849.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Frank Oz brought that "Show must go on!" Muppety energy to Steve Martin's script about washed up filmmaker Bobby Bowfinger, who cons his way into making a movie with action superstar Kit Ramsey, played by Eddie Murphy. Our September OVER 90 episode comes a little late in the form of 1999's "Bowfinger" directed by Frank Oz and starring Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Heather Graham, Christine Baranski, Robert Downey Jr., Terrance Stamp, and a respectfully restrained Jamie Kennedy.

Director, co-writer, and star of The People's Joker (one of our favorite films of the year), Vera Drew joins for a discussion of the sexy, taboo-breaking, teen thriller Cruel Intentions. A 90s update of the 18th century Peirre Choderlos de Laclos novel 'Les Liaisons dangereuses' (aka Dangerous Liaisons), the film is a darkly comic and gleefully misanthropic erotic thrill ride featuring a top notch cast of up-comers-comers playing deeply unlikable - but incredibly sexy - people, who are all (in the words of our guest) "acting their asses off."We discuss the sensational young cast, including Reese Witherspoon, Selma Blair, Ryan Phillippe, and an exceptional Sarah Michelle Gellar, and find delights in the "teens play-acting adults" uncanniness of the movie's milieu. Then we revel in the film's preternatural handling on eroticism and desire, finding ways to constantly steam up the screen even while the actors (mostly) keep their clothes on. Finally, we find a through-line from some of Vera's other favorite films to Cruel Intentions, note how the movie defies a "so bad its good" valuation, and illimunate why criticisms of the film's supposed moralism might be reading it wrong. The People's Joker is still in theaters and now available on VOD, Blu-Ray and VHS!

In celebration of Mother's Day, Mike and Jay launch into a full-on, earnest review of the 2008 jukebox musical "Mamma Mia!" With a star-studded cast that includes Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski and Dame Julie Walters - as well as a few dudes with the last names Firth, Skarsgard and Brosnan - the movie concerns a bride-to-be on the eve of her wedding in a stunning Greek archipelago who invites three men to her wedding, one of whom is likely her father. Hijinx ensue, all set, for reasons unknown, to toe-tapping pop classics by the Swedish super-ground, ABBA, and if you're not "having the time of your life" by the end, in the words of Mike, you may be "a f--king ghoul." After recounting the joys (and a few pains - sorry, Pierce) of "Mamma Mia!" the guys list off their Bottom Five Cringe Moments in cinema, dedicated to movie moments of vicarious embarrassment, and then play a musically-inspired game of Kick Two, Pick Two!

For this month, The Halo Halo Podcast tailored the set of upcoming eps to a Maternal May. Jezzie and Sigi go into the pop culture vault to revisit Mamma Mia the musical, movie and the sequel. Listen in as Jezzie suspends his disbelief and revels in the jukebox musical while Sigi litters the convo with consistent “WHAT IS HAPPENING?!” After much discussion on the Meryl Streep of it all, Amanda Seyfried's dewy face, the classiness of Christine Baranski and Cher wandering into the movie, the convo shifts to mothers and motherhood. Jezzie references Wilfred Galila's essay on the “Power of Pinays” where he discusses how pre-colonial and before the arrival of the Spanish, Philippine Society was seen as Matriarchal. Further, Jezzie discusses the power shared by Filipina Women in the diaspora is a quiet power.  The fixing of the week encourages Halo Halo Listeners to celebrate the Filipina Women in our lives and happy mothers' day to our mothers!

"I was adorable once, young and full of hope. And now look at me! I'm this short, fat, insecure, middle-aged THING!" We watched "The BIrdcage" (1996) with our friends Garrett Clayton and Blake Knight and ju can't handle our Guatemalan-ness! How exactly did it take us over 200 episodes to get to this queer classic?! Well we're finally here and hey, we just gave you an excuse to rewatch this gem. You're welcome. Nathan Lane and Robin Williams are bringing the laughs with these performances and man we were quoting and lol'ing all the way through. Listen it's not lost on us that in 2024 there would be some major issues with the casting - Robin being straight and Hank Azaria being... not latin. But there is an authenticity to Robin's performance that the four of us as card-carrying gay men really appreciated.  The heavy-hitter supporting cast really knocks this movie out of the park. Gene Hackman and Diane Wiest were bringing the laughs as the ultra conservative in-laws and Christine Baranski is gold - per usual. Mix in drag queens, Miami Beach street scenes full of scantily clad muscle dudes and jokes on jokes on jokes and you've got yourself a hit. If there was any justice in this world Nathan Lane would have gotten an Oscar for this performance. "Oh God, I pierced the toast!"

In keeping with our 'domestic drama' theme we wandered into by accident, we're talking Reversal of Fortune from 1990. Based on the true story and legal case of Claus von Bülow told through the eyes of his lawyer Alan Dershowitz. This was Charles' pick and from my  glance of this trailer I thought I was in for an erotic thriller of epic proportions but turns out it was a legal drama of all legal dramas. Although, anything with Jeremy Irons and Glenn Close is immediately intriguing. At this point I would watch them both read the phone book in a poorly lit room. We get into some of our favorite fashion looks (there were MANY), the magic of Christine Baranski, more reasons to love Jeremy Irons, and a mini Oscars rage moment that Glenn Close wasn't nominated. We also have cemented this as a Christmas movie.

Our dear friend Christine Baranski stops and pays tribute to her late friend Stephen Sondheim and talks about sharing her “actor's dream” with him during one of their final conversations before he passed. Plus, Baranski's show "The Gilded Age" highlights the battle between old money and new money in 1880s New York City, and all of the costumes are painfully accurate to the time period (Original Air Date: January 19th, 2022).

The Gilded AgeReview: The Gilded AgeThe Gilded Age: WebsiteBuy me a Coffee Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With HBO's The Gilded Age, creator Julian Fellowes basically airlifts Downton Abbey's soapy plots, ball gowns, sneering servants and quippy old ladies out of Yorkshire and plops them down in the Manhattan of 1882. The series stars Christine Baranski, and Cynthia Nixon, plus a sprawling cast of socialites, servants, and members of the working class. The Gilded Age is about to return for a second season, so today we're revisiting our conversation about the series.

Katie discusses Shy: the Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers (available everywhere) with its co-author, and Chief Theatre Critic for The New York Times, Jesse Green.

Actor Christine Baranski and New York Times theater Jesse Green join host Jo Reed in a special bonus edition of Behind the Mic. The two joined forces to create the audiobook of SHY: The Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers, written by Mary Rodgers and Jesse Green. Listen to our interview to hear from Jesse Green about how this lively and memorable book was written, and how Christine Baranski's talented narration brings this unusual memoir to life. Mary Rodgers was the daughter of the composer Richard Rodgers, and was a musical theater composer herself, as well as an author, philanthropist, and mother of six children. She was a funny, honest, and self-effacing woman who knew everyone in American musical theater and worked with quite a few. She wrote her memoir in collaboration with Jesse Green, who completed it after her death in 2014. As much a portrait of a smart and talented woman trying to carve out a creative life for herself as it is an insider's look at musical theater in the mid-twentieth century, the book is a tour-de-force. The audiobook is performed by the award-winning actor Christine Baranski in what amounts to a terrific one-woman show, while Jesse Green himself narrates the footnotes. Read our review of SHY on AudioFile's website.

Christine Baranski is an actor with an impressive resume. She attended Juilliard and went on to perform on Broadway. She's also an Emmy award winning actor, who's starred on shows like The Good Fight and The Good Wife. You'll soon be able to watch Christine Baranski in the animated sitcom Praise Petey. The show premieres July 21 on Freeform. When she joined us on Bullseye last year, she reflected on her time portraying Diane on The Good Fight. Plus, she talked about being one of the early graduates of Juilliard, and her long-time collaborated relationship with Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim.

If you ask people to describe Christine Baranski, one word rises to the top: sophisticated. That's no accident; the actress has spent a lifetime refining her image and her craft.For the past 13 years, Baranski has played Diane Lockhart, a savvy and assertive attorney on the CBS television series The Good Wife and its spin-off The Good Fight. And just like her character, Baranski is a trailblazer herself. With women making up only 3% of major TV characters 60 and over, she's carved out a path for other actresses to follow.In this episode, host Brittany Luse talks with Baranski about The Good Fight for women in Hollywood.Follow us on Twitter @NPRItsBeenAMin or email us at ibam@npr.org.
