As What Next celebrates Memorial Day, please enjoy this episode from our colleagues at Decoder Ring. What Next will be back in your feed tomorrow. Something seems to have happened to car headlights. In the last few years, many people have become convinced that they are much brighter than they used to be—and it's driving them to the point of rage. Headlight glare is now Americans' number one complaint on the road. The story of how and why we got here is illuminating and confounding. It's what happens when an incredible technological breakthrough meets market forces, regulatory failure, and human foibles. So if you feel like everyone's driving around with their high beams on all the time, it's not your imagination. What once seemed like an obscure technical concern has gone mainstream. But can the movement to reduce glare actually do something about the problem? In this episode, you'll hear from Nate Rogers, who wrote about the “headlight brightness wars” for The Ringer; Daniel Stern, automotive lighting expert and editor of Driving Vision News; and Paul Gatto, moderator of r/fuckyourheadlights. This episode of Decoder Ring was written by Willa Paskin and Olivia Briley, and produced by Olivia Briley and Max Freedman. Our team also includes Katie Shepherd and supervising producer Evan Chung.

When middle aged men start to question aspects of their lives, they look to escape. In the case of Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby, it's to the country to do something out of their norm. There, they meet Jack Palance and some shenanigans ensue, but also some thinking takes place. It's part comedy, part introspective, but fun at the same time!
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams splashed down off the Florida coast after spending more than nine months aboard the International Space Station—far longer than their planned eight-day mission. Their extended stay was due to a malfunction with Boeing's Starliner. Dr. Tom Marshburn, a veteran astronaut, joins us to discuss their return and what's next. From "Home Alone" to "City Slickers," Daniel Stern has been a Hollywood staple for decades. In his new book, "Home and Alone," he shares personal stories about his biggest roles, career highs, and lessons learned. Comedian Whitney Cummings, co-creator of "Two Broke Girls" and star of "Whitney," is back on the road for the second year of her "Big Baby" tour. Fresh off welcoming her first child, she brings her unfiltered take on motherhood and everyday life to the stage. Tony Award winner Annaleigh Ashford takes on the real-life story of Melissa Moore in Happy Face, a Paramount+ true crime drama about a woman who discovers her father is a notorious serial killer. She joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss the gripping series and working alongside Dennis Quaid.

Do you consider yourself a contrarian? If you do, then we have an encore edition of the show for you! If you don't, that probably makes you a contrarian -- so we have a show for you, too. Here are your show notes… The Secret was wildly popular. How do you feel about it? Martha Stewart is wildly successful. Are you happy for her? Gretchen Rubin thinks enthusiasm is a form of social courage. Do you agree? Daniel Stern's character in City Slickers said getting married meant he wasn't a goofball anymore. Does marriage confer status? Let me fall if I need to fall. The person I become will catch me. We grow in connection with others.
For our month of romcoms, we revisit a late era Hugh Grant flick in which he pairs up with Sarah Jessica Parker. Basically what City Slickers would be like if you replaced Billy Crystal with Hugh Grant and both Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby with Sarah Jessica Parker. And Jack Palance with Sam Elliott, which is probably the nearest to a 1 to 1 ratio.
How did everything go last night at what our show is lovingly referring to as "The Last Dans?" We check in on the action out in New Orleans. Then, what movie is Daniel Stern most known for? Also, we check in with limited fake Barack Obama and limited fake Stephen A. Smith to hear what they have to say about the news that Stephen A. is polling at 2% for the Democratic Presidential Nominee in 2028. Plus, Pablo and David dive into one of the latest Executive Orders from the Trump Administration banning transgender athletes from participating in sports. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to The Video Store Podcast. This week, I've curated a lineup of films that capture different aspects of Los Angeles: its humor, its struggles, its danger, and its intrigue. Whether you're a longtime fan of these movies or discovering them for the first time, I think they're worth your time. Here's what we're watching this week:L.A. Story (1991)Steve Martin stars in and wrote this quirky romantic comedy that doubles as a love letter to Los Angeles. It's full of surreal humor, like talking freeway signs, and it pokes fun at the city's obsession with image and trends. But it's also heartfelt, exploring how we connect with others in a place that can feel isolating. Keep an eye out for some great cameos, including Patrick Stewart as a hilariously serious maître d'. The film was shot all around L.A., including Griffith Park and Venice Beach, which really adds to its sense of place.Born in East L.A. (1987)Cheech Marin wrote, directed, and stars in this comedy about a Mexican-American man who gets mistakenly deported to Mexico. It's packed with laughs, but it also has a lot of heart as it explores cultural misunderstandings. Make sure to check out Paul Rodriguez and Daniel Stern both have memorable roles here, adding to the film's charm.To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)If you're into crime thrillers, this one's a must. Directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection), it's a gritty and intense look at the darker side of Los Angeles. The film follows a Secret Service agent, played by William Petersen, as he becomes obsessed with catching a counterfeiter (Willem Dafoe). Friedkin's commitment to authenticity shows, especially in the car chases, which are some of the best ever put on film. The movie also features an amazing soundtrack by Wang Chung, which perfectly complements its tense, stylish vibe.L.A. Confidential (1997)Curtis Hanson's neo-noir is a masterpiece. Set in the 1950s, it dives into corruption, scandal, and ambition within the LAPD. The ensemble cast, including Kevin Spacey, Guy Pearce, Kim Basinger, and Russell Crowe, delivers some of their best work. Basinger even won an Oscar for her performance. The screenplay, co-written by Hanson and Brian Helgeland, is a brilliant adaptation of James Ellroy's novel. The production design and costumes perfectly recreate the glamour and grit of post-war Los Angeles, making it as visually striking as it is narratively gripping.That's the lineup for this week. Each of these films captures something unique about Los Angeles, from its humor and charm to its danger and complexity. If you decide to check out any of these, let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by The Video Store Podcast, and we'll see you next time with more movies to add to your watchlist. This is a public episode.

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing HOME ALONE (1990), from director Chris Columbus with a screenplay by John Hughes. After a mistake by his family, a young boy named Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) finds himself home alone for Christmas. While this is initially cause for celebration, he soon finds the holidays just are not the same without a family to share them with. He also hilariously brutalizes two bumbling thieves (excellently played by Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci) who are trying to burglarize his home. The film clocks in at 1 h and 43 m, is rated PG and is currently streaming on Disney+ and to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. #HomeAlone #ChrisColumbus #JohnHughes #MacaulayCulkin #KevinMcCallister #JoePesci #Harry #DanielStern #Marv #CatherineOHara #Kate #Holidays #Holidays2024 @Disney+ #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jokagoge/support

While this is definitely a Christmas movie, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York should not have been made. It's a remake of Home Alone that came out 2 years before, but with worse pacing and less stakes. Written by John Hughes, directed by Chris Columbus, and starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, Tim Curry, Brenda Fricker, and Catherine O'Hara. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegenxfiles/support
Happy holidays! For Episode 48, Joel and Andrene cover 1990's "Home Alone". When 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is accidentally left behind for the holidays, he must defend himself against two local burglars (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) who plan to rob his home.
Few films define holiday nostalgia as perfectly as Home Alone. In this Home Alone (1990) Movie Review, we revisit the timeless story of Kevin McCallister, the mischievous yet resourceful eight-year-old who accidentally gets left behind during the Christmas holidays. Directed by Chris Columbus and written by the legendary John Hughes, Home Alone continues to hold a unique place in cinematic history as a family comedy that delivers heart, laughs, and the unmistakable magic of the holiday season. Over 30 years later, it still has audiences of all ages doubling over with laughter and feeling the warmth of home and family.The Story That Sparked a Global PhenomenonAt its heart, Home Alone is simple yet ingenious. When Kevin (played brilliantly by Macaulay Culkin) wishes for his family to disappear after a rough night with his siblings, he wakes up the next morning to find his wish has seemingly come true. In a mad rush to catch a flight for their Christmas vacation in Paris, the McCallister clan accidentally leaves Kevin behind. What follows is a series of hilarious and heart-pounding escapades as Kevin fends for himself while also outsmarting two bumbling burglars, Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), who are targeting his home.The setup is classic John Hughes: relatable yet heightened situations, endearing characters, and comedic chaos that is both innocent and wildly entertaining. Kevin's solo adventures—shopping for groceries, watching “grown-up” movies, and constructing elaborate booby traps—are delivered with such charm and humour that it's impossible not to root for him. The film transforms an eight-year-old kid's loneliness into empowerment, making it both touching and triumphant.Macaulay Culkin: A Star Is BornIf there's one performance that defines Home Alone, it's Macaulay Culkin's. At just ten years old, Culkin became a global phenomenon, and for good reason. He's mischievous, charismatic, and endlessly watchable. Culkin brings Kevin McCallister to life with a mix of childlike innocence and self-assured resourcefulness that feels natural and effortless. His comedic timing—delivering classic lines like “Keep the change, ya filthy animal” or his perfectly executed scream in front of the bathroom mirror—is nothing short of iconic.Kevin's journey from a frustrated youngest sibling to a confident, self-reliant hero gives Home Alone its emotional core. While the comedy is front and centre, Culkin can balance humour with a vulnerability that elevates the film beyond a standard slapstick romp.Pesci and Stern: The Perfect Comedy VillainsA comedy is only as strong as its antagonists, and Home Alone delivers two of the most memorable villains in movie history. Joe Pesci's Harry and Daniel Stern's Marv—collectively known as the “Wet Bandits”—are equal parts menacing and hysterical. While Harry brings a tough, scheming edge to their duo, Marv provides endless slapstick moments that make him a loveable doofus.Their dynamic is so effective because the movie allows their misfortunes to escalate with cartoonish delight. Kevin's traps—ranging from icy stairs to swinging paint cans—provide some of the most gleefully painful moments in comedy history. Watching the Wet Bandits fall victim to Kevin's booby traps remains endlessly entertaining, no matter how many times you've seen it.Chris Columbus' Direction and John Hughes' WritingHome Alone brought together two powerhouses: Chris Columbus, who would later helm Mrs. Doubtfire and the first two Harry Potter films, and John Hughes, the mastermind behind classics like The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Hughes' writing gives the film its wit, heart, and timeless humour, while Columbus' direction brings that vision to life with vibrant pacing and a keen understanding of comedic timing.The film moves seamlessly between laugh-out-loud moments and quieter, more heartfelt scenes. One of the most touching subplots involves Kevin's neighbour, Old Man Marley, who is rumoured to be a terrifying figure but turns out to be a lonely, kind-hearted man seeking reconciliation with his estranged family. This storyline adds depth to the film's themes of forgiveness, family, and the importance of connection.Cinematography and Score: Capturing the MagicJulio Macat's cinematography captures the cozy, wintry charm of suburban Chicago during the holidays. The McCallister house—now iconic in its own right—becomes a playground of chaos, warmth, and creativity. Each room provides the perfect backdrop for Kevin's traps and antics, while the snowy exteriors add a picture-perfect Christmas vibe.John Williams' score, meanwhile, is the cherry on top. The legendary composer (known for Star Wars and Jurassic Park) delivers a whimsical yet grand soundtrack that perfectly complements the film's tone. Tracks like “Somewhere in My Memory” evoke nostalgia and warmth, ensuring that Home Alone doesn't just make us laugh but also pulls at our heartstrings.Why Home Alone Stands the Test of TimeWhat makes Home Alone so enduring is its universal appeal. It's a perfect holiday film for families, kids, and adults alike. At its core, it's about the importance of family, even when they drive us crazy. Kevin's realisation that he misses his family—and his mother's desperate journey home—resonates with anyone who understands the true meaning of Christmas.But beyond its themes, Home Alone remains endlessly rewatchable because it's just plain fun. The slapstick comedy, clever dialogue, and standout performances make it a film that never feels dated. Whether you're watching it for the first time or the 30th, it still feels like a gift waiting to be unwrapped.Final ThoughtsIn our Home Alone (1990) Movie Review, we can confidently say this film remains a holiday classic for a reason. With its brilliant performances, timeless humour, and heartfelt message, Home Alone captures the magic of childhood and the warmth of family like few movies can. Macaulay Culkin's Kevin McCallister is a hero for the ages, while Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern give us villains we love to laugh at.More than three decades later, Home Alone continues to bring joy to new generations, reminding us all that sometimes being “left alone” can lead to the greatest adventures. So this holiday season, grab some popcorn, put on your coziest socks, and revisit the film that made booby traps cool and Christmas unforgettable.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

The cast also features Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O'Hara. Pigeon Lady by Wolfie's Just Fine: Pigeon Lady
Billy Crystal was on a big hot streak in the late '80s and early '90s, topped by this comedy-western blockbuster. Ron Underwood directed City Slickers and did a terrific job balancing the laughs with all the mid-life crises of the 3 main characters. It's a comedy with some sting. What this film does best is connect with middle-aged men who are going through the things that Crystal, Bruno Kirby and Daniel Stern are. Jack Palance though plays a man who knows about that "one thing"...and he was the one who won an Oscar. So ride horses, rope cows and connect with your best buddies on a cattle drive as the 631st edition of Have You Ever Seen yahoos it up for City Slickers.

For Round 2 of our "Holiday Gift/Suggestion Box" mini-cycle, Emilio selects 'Home Alone', the 1990 Christmas holiday classic directed by Chris Columbus and starring Macaulay Culkin, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. It's a first watch for Julian, a rewatch for Madeline, and a welcome return visit from our pal Jamie Homs, a musician extraordinaire and social media savvy film enthusiast. The foursome discuss their own personal histories with being left home alone (intentionally and unintentionally) by their parents, and their own curious tendencies when left unsupervised.

We're keeping it Christmas as Indy recommends the holiday neo-noir Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Samantha watches Netflix's latest Lindsay Lohan movie Our Little Secret, and we preview the Chrismas movie loved by 90's kids everywhere (except Samantha) Home Alone! I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a 2005 American neo-noir black comedy crime film written and directed by Shane Black (in his directorial debut), and starring Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer, Michelle Monaghan, and Corbin Bernsen. The script is partially based on the Brett Halliday novel Bodies Are Where You Find Them (1941), and interprets the classic hardboiled literary genre in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. The film was produced by Joel Silver, with Susan Levin and Steve Richards as executive producers. Our Little Secret is a 2024 American romantic comedy film directed by Stephen Herek and written by Hailey DeDominicis. It stars Lindsay Lohan alongside an ensemble cast, featuring Ian Harding, Tim Meadows, Jon Rudnitsky, Judy Reyes, Henry Czerny, Chris Parnell and Kristin Chenoweth. The film was a part of Lohan's creative partnership with Netflix under which she also executive produced the project. Home Alone is a 1990 American comedy film directed by Chris Columbus and written and produced by John Hughes. The first film in the Home Alone franchise, the film stars Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, a young boy who defends his suburban Chicago home from a home invasion by a pair of robbers after his family accidentally leaves him behind on their Christmas vacation to Paris. The cast also features Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O'Hara.
What happens when you accidentally leave your kid at home during the holidays? Absolute chaos, that's what. In Home Alone, Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), an 8-year-old mastermind, gets forgotten at home while his family jets off to Paris for Christmas. Instead of crying for help, Kevin decides to turn his house into a fortress and fend off two bumbling burglars, Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern), with traps that would make MacGyver jealous. At the TruVue Podcast, we bring the barbershop talk to the box office, diving into the holiday hilarity of this Christmas classic. It's not about the review—it's the conversation with the crew. We keep it real on the reels, laughing at the absurdity of Kevin's creative defenses and wondering how Harry and Marv survived without permanent brain damage. Our podcast is unapologetically NSFW, so come prepared for raw humor and unfiltered commentary. Spoiler alert: Watch Home Alone first, because we don't hold back! Want to relive the magic?

In this episode of "Radio Spaetkauf," recorded in collaboration with the Europäische Akademie Berlin, we focus on the future of urban living; asking the question, "What is the city of tomorrow?". Host Daniel Stern is joined by architect Max Schwitalla and author Aiki Mira. The conversation begins with Max sharing how skateboarding background influenced his urban design approach, and with Mira reading a passage from their award-winning novel “Neurobiest" describing Berlin of the future topped by green rooftop communities. From there we discuss visions for the future: inclusive, polycentric urban design, mobility hubs, and discarding anthropocentricism to leave space for nature. The exploration of "The City of Tommorow" brings us to innovations (both real and imagined), micro-utopias, and proposals for infrastructure which is reusable, queer and adaptable.
