FANCY YOURSELF A CELEB EXPERT? Take The Spill's Pop Culture Quiz here.There's a brand-new young adult romance that's completely binge-worthy, and if you've been rewatching The Summer I Turned Pretty and Off Campus, this is your next obsession. It's set in a picturesque lakeside town with impossibly attractive brothers, and characters navigating first love, secrets, and the kind of emotional complexity that makes you want to keep pressing play at 2am.Plus, a darkly comic slasher that's an absolute masterpiece has just hit streaming services. Jason Segel and Samara Weaving have come out with one of the best screams in the business, playing a married couple whose relationship has deteriorated so badly that they've each independently decided to kill each other on a romantic getaway. It's hilarious, chaotic, properly gory, and proof that sometimes watching a relationship implode in the most absurd, violent way possible is the funniest thing you'll see all week.

In what seems to be the 100th time, we are back in Massachusetts. We explore the lives of Jesse Pomeroy and Sarah Jane Robinson—two killers that forced a reckoning on how society views juvenile criminality and maternal roles in 1850s Boston. Media sensationalism and failing court systems make for a really "fun" time.

A24 marketing rocks. Is “The Drama” a drama? I mean sure, kinda, but it's also a comedy, and “The Comedy” is already a movie so what were they supposed to call this thing? “The Dark Comedy” or “The Edgy Comedy” don't really have the same ring to it. Tonally, does the final product match the expectations laid out by the several teasers and trailers? Nope, not really, but that's marketing 101 baby! Gotta keep the people guessing. Anyway, we talk about this movie a lot, and talk a little about lots of other movies. Get into it. 0:00 – Introductions 29:31 – “The Drama” Review (SPOILERS!!!) 1:36:30 - What We've Been Watching

You can never be sure where you're going to find your new favorite show...On this episode we go behind the scenes on the show that you haven't discovered yet, but ultimately won't stop talking about it for the rest of the year.  Let's figure out 'How To Get To Heaven From Belfast'.From the team behind 'Derry Girls' (not Bad Girls as I mistakenly referred to it) this show is the story of Three lifelong friends reunite after the death of an old classmate turns a wake into a dark mystery. They embark on a thrilling adventure across Ireland, piecing together enigmatic truths amid complicated lives.This show is such a rare and unique blend of different genres that we had to ask how it all came together to work as well as it did.  We had the pleasure of sitting down with cinematographer Nathalie Pitters and editor Nigel Williams to see how it all came together as all these artisans are seemingly working in their own bubbles to create this joyous piece of entertainment.  We talk about styles, creative process and so very much more....

You get chaos, secrets… and one very suspicious death.In this episode, I chat with British comedian-turned-mystery author Fergus Craig about his latest cozy crime novel, I'm Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home. We talk about writing a likable serial killer, the art of “cracked cozy” mysteries, and how parody crime novels unexpectedly launched his fiction career. If you love cozy mysteries with a dark twist — and characters who blur the line between wrong and relatable — this one's for you.We also dive into his favorite reads (including a book he calls the best he's ever read), and why sometimes escape fiction is exactly what readers need right now.

We dive into the anticipated TV shows, movies, albums, concerts, comics and gaming releases for 2026. We highlight the return of beloved series like Scrubs and Ted Lasso on the small screen. We discuss upcoming albums and concerts, from the likes of The Maine, New Found Glory and Broadside.  We get between the covers in anticipation of some comic books and graphics novels coming out this year, with Saga being one high on the radar. Before dipping into the movies we are most looking forward to this year, we discuss irreplaceable experience of watching movies in the theater, and the multifaceted world of cinema, discussing the shared experience of watching certain movies with a crowd versus those films that require an individual focus. We then delve into the upcoming movie release calendar, highlighting those we deem to be of the must watch variety. We hope you enjoy.  (As this is a longer episode we have added chapter markers for your convenience)

He highlighted the need for empathy and intervention to prevent suicides, sharing stories of how his talks have helped individuals. Frank aims to save a life a day through his work. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/frank-king     Highlights from today's episode include:  For some people, suicide is always an option their brain offers, even for small problems (e.g., car breaks down: "fix it / buy a new one / kill myself").  Naming it ("chronic suicidal ideation") helps people realize they're not freaks and not alone, which can be profoundly relieving and life-changing. Suicide often results from a cascade of factors, like a car accident with many causes (nighttime, rain, slick road, etc.). A simple intervention—someone asking, "Are you okay?" or showing they care—can interrupt that cascade and literally save a life (e.g., Kevin Hines on the Golden Gate Bridge). You highlight that in contexts like MAID in Canada, people are often met with serious validation of ending life but not always offered a gap—humor, caring connection, or alternative ways of seeing their situation.   ABOUT FRANK KING: Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker, writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, speaker and comedian for 39. His speaking is informed by his lifetime of Depression and Suicidality and coming close enough to ending his life that he can tell you what the barrel of his gun tastes like. Turning that long dark journey of the soul into 13 TEDx Talks, sharing his lifesaving insights with corporations, and associations. He's shared the stage with comedians, Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jung, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, and Bill Hicks, as well as entertainers, Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, Randy Travis, and Nancy Wilson. On top of all of that, he has survived 2 aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, and losing to a puppet on the original Star Search and has lived to joke about it all.

Yorgos Lanthimos has a new movie dropping and this time Emma Stone isn't naked. Bugonia is a solid flick that relies heavily on the actors and light on the plot, so much so I was interested in how the movie interested me so much. Jesse Plemmons plays Teddy, a tin foil hat guy who listens to too much Joe Rogan and is convinced Michelle (Stone) is an alien who wants to eliminate the human race, one bee colony at a time. Is Teddy nuts or is Michelle not who the world thinks she is? Lanthimos delivers the goods with this remake of a 2003 Korean flick that had me guessing till the end.If you're not doing so already, please like and follow Classic American Movies on Instagram and Facebook. I do free movie giveaways, mini movie reviews and more! Also, I decided to dabble in making my own slasher film called “Bishop's Day”. Check out the Instagram page for updates.

5. Monsieur Verdoux Flop and HUAC Persecution Scott Eyman Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided Chaplin purchased the idea for Monsieur Verdoux from Orson Welles, but the 1947 film—a dark comedy about a serial killer—became his first commercial failure, released at an inopportune moment following World War II. Though the FBI had surveilled Chaplin and confirmed he was not a Communist, they sought to remove him due to his politics and what they deemed his "flamboyant sex life." HUAC avoided calling him to testify in order to maintain their narrative. Gossip columnist Hedda Hopper personally pursued a negative campaign against him, projecting her loathing of her ex-husband onto Chaplin. 1921

In this 2018 Word Balloon conversation, comedian, writer, and producer Dana Gould joins John Siuntres for a deep dive into his creative journey adapting Rod Serling's original Planet of the Apes screenplay into a graphic novel for BOOM! Studios. Gould discusses how Serling's early drafts differed from the final 1968 film — delving into the satire, social commentary, and Cold War paranoia that Serling originally intended.The interview also explores Gould's other creative outlets, including his acclaimed “Dana Gould Hour” podcast, where his sharp wit and fascination with old Hollywood, horror, and pop culture shine through. Rounding out the discussion, Gould talks about his work on IFC's Stan Against Evil — the offbeat supernatural comedy he created and starred in — and how it channels his lifelong love of classic horror and monster movies. It's a lively, funny, and insightful chat with one of the sharpest minds blending comedy, commentary, and the weird corners of genre storytelling.
