On today's BD Baseball, Jake and I break down one of the wildest games of the season: A's–Brewers in Las Vegas, a 12‑inning circus with 11 homers, 29 runs, 34 hits, 441 pitches, and 7 pitchers used by each side in 4 hours and 14 minutes. We talk about Vegas playing like Coors on steroids, Shay Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom going deep, Nick Kurtz leaving the yard entirely, and William Contreras hitting a tank so hard he ended up on his ass at the plate. We also hit Josh Naylor's full villain arc in Detroit – the McGonigle play at first, the sliding mitt thrown at Dingler, the cleats‑up slide through second – and why I'm now firmly in the “fuck Josh Naylor” camp, with Jake giving his view from behind home plate on Sunday. From there we dive into the ABS challenge system (Dingler's masterclass vs umps getting petty on timing), give props to the Philly ump who let Christopher Sánchez get his ovation, and run through the rest of the board: Mariners waking up, Rays stopping their skid, Yankees' first extra‑innings win of the year, Astros refusing to die, the Nats' fun young offense, plus today's best pitching matchups including Paul Skenes vs the Dodgers and J.T. Ginn back on the hill in Vegas. Enjoy your baseball and move your ass – we're burnin' daylight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ron Brown, news anchor for WGN Radio, joins Lisa Dent to dish out some Brownie Points. This week he reviews Remarkably Bright Creatures and The Christophers.
James Cameron-Wilson urges us to see #7 The Christophers, Steven Soderbergh's virtual two-hander with Ian McKellan and Michaela Coel. About the children of a famous painter trying to get a forger to finish some of their father's canvasses, it benefits from superb acting and a magnificently witty script. Although a theatrical experience, it is a thing of beguiling beauty and is very funny. At #64 is Life Hack, another movie in which computer screens are depicted on the big screen. But this tale of an attempted heist by hackers set in the world of bitcoin carves out its own genre and deserves to be caught in cinemas. James continues his exploration of East German DEFA films with the 1966 banned movie Trace of Stones. Depicting life in the GDR in the 1960s, it seems uncontroversial now, though hardly flattering, and its home video premiere is accompanied by three documentaries. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with The Christophers' lead actor Ian McKellen and screenwriter Ed Solomon as they discuss their film with FLC programmer Madeline Whittle. In Steven Soderbergh's new film The Christophers, Ian McKellen plays Julian Sklar, who was once a star of London's 1960's and 70's pop art explosion but hasn't painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning), desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger (Michaela Coel), to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access 8 unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage. Her plan is to complete them, then return them to storage, where they are to be “discovered” upon Julian's death.

His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning), desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger (Michaela Coel), to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access eight unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage.

Can you feel it? Summer movie season is rumbling down the tracks. And this week BFG Podcast host Neal Pollack puts his ear to the ground for the last major releases before the real blockbusters start.First up is Michael, the bizarrely popular Michael Jackson biopic that has the world forgetting how weird and sinister late-era Michael Jackson really was. This is a hero's origin story, from the beginnings of the Jackson 5 up until the near-tragedy of the "Victory" tour. Contributor Gillian Gaar joins Neal in breaking down why she thinks this movie is a flat highlight reel that doesn't really work, and compares it to other recent popular music biopics like Bohemian Rhapsody and Back in Black. Neal agrees with her mostly but really liked Colman Domingo as Michael's Machiavellian father, and has to admit the music scenes are pretty good.Stephen Garrett makes his regular stop to talk about The Devil Wears Prada 2, the sequel to a popular movie from the fashion industry from 20 years ago. Our critics agree that this sequel seems flat and unnecessary and they get very bitchy talking about music and fashion, which is appropriate. Neal did like Justin Theroux as a Jeff Bezos-style billionaire magnate weirdo, and Emily Blunt is also pretty funny in the sequel. But most of the goings-on are pretty annoying.Neal and Stephen clash on The Christophers, a Steven Soderbergh indie joint about the London art world. Soderbergh, who is 63, claimed to have retired 13 years ago, Ian McKellen is 87 at the end of this month and is not retiring any time soon. They agree that McKellen is wonderful as the lead, a dying 80-something former "Bad Boy" painter, and Neal tries unsuccessfully to persuade Stephen that Michaela Cole is NOT a film actress. They agree to disagree, as they always do.

Adam is joined by critic Chris Klimek to discuss The Christophers, the latest film from Steven Soderbergh. Starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel, the film centers on the uneasy power dynamic between a once-celebrated artist and the forger drawn into his orbit.

In the terrific new film The Christophers, an art restorer with a background in forgery (Michaela Coel) takes a job as an assistant to a once-famous artist who's faded from public life (Ian McKellen). And her motives are… complicated. It might seem like a quiet story, but as directed by Steven Soderbergh, the movie packs a serious punch of talent.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureSubscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour Plus at plus.npr.org/happyhour See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
