MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts "The Beat" on Thursday, June 6, and reports on Donald Trump's guilty verdict and Steve Bannon. Plus, Director Ron Howard joins for the latest "Summit Series" installment. Bill Kristol also joins.

Generations have grown up with Kermit the Frog, Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird. Now Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard takes a look at the man behind the muppets, Jim Henson, in his new documentary "Jim Henson: Idea Man". Ron Howard joins to discuss the film and Henson's legacy. This segment is guest hosted by Kousha Navidar

From his puppeteering days to viewers of a local D.C. TV station to global audiences theatrically, if you weren't able to remember Jim Henson's face you certainly recognized his zany muppets. A new documentary from Academy Award-winning director Ron Howard, titled “Jim Henson: Idea Man,” chronologically goes through Henson's life's work and how closely tied his loved ones were to projects like “Sesame Street” and his 1986 feature “Labyrinth.” For this week's FilmWeek feature, Larry talks to Howard about his new documentary and how he looked to capture Henson's life by talking to those closest to him still living.   ‘Jim Henson: Idea Man' is now available to stream on Disney+.    

By now we've gotten to see all our favorite "classic" Star Wars heroes return to the saga after a decades-long wait, and then they all got snuffed out.  Except for Lando, of course...the least "heroic" out of them all...he gets to live!  You remember he double-crossed the REAL heroes and was eyeing Princess Leia from the get-go.  Grrrrr...it's enough to make you wanna pull someone's arms out of their sockets (like the screenwriters?) but here we have a stand-alone movie about the coolest dude ever to zip through hyperspace: Han Solo!  Why, we'd be happy if EVERY Star Wars movie was a Han Solo adventure.  On the condition that he's played by Harrison Ford!  Which, sorry to say, he's not.  We've got a younger version of Han, and a totally new actor filling those boots.  Seems pretty iffy to say the least, but it turns out to be a decent movie after all, with some excitement and humor, familiar furry faces (Chewie, of course!  Not the effin' ewoks!) and just a slight touch of the Force.  Director Ron Howard did a great job with it, and I bet the making of this movie brought everyone involved some Happy Days.  Play this podcast and today can be one for you!

The film Thirteen Lives is about the rescue of the Thai soccer team who were trapped in an underwater cave in 2018 for 18 days. Cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, who is Thai, knew that it was important to make the film seem as realistic as possible since everyone in Thailand was very familiar with the story. He liked director Ron Howard's movie Apollo 13, which vividly dramatized a real-life event, so he was excited to work with Howard on Thirteen Lives, a true story he was familiar with. After reading the script, Thirteen Lives was a movie he could clearly see in his head, because it dealt with people against the elements. Sayombhu decided to approach the film like a documentary, as though the viewer is right there in the cave with the characters. His first task was to think about how to shoot and light underwater, and he worked closely with the second unit crew to find the best methods. When shooting, Sayombhu did a lot of handheld camerawork, operating the B camera on first unit. He would actually occasionally duck underwater with the camera, so that it looked as dynamic as possible, even though the second unit handled most of the underwater work. The caves were all a set built in Australia, except for some exterior shots of the real cave in Thailand. Because the caves had no light sources at all, Sayombhu knew all the light had to be motivated. He had to pick the color and intensity of the light, and figure out where to place lights and cameras during the cave design set build. The actors became part of his lighting crew, since much of the light had to come from their flashlights and headlamps. Sayombhu would often ask them to hold the lights and point them up or down to help illuminate the scene- actors Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell practically became a part of the lighting crew, he jokes.

When it comes to Hollywood careers, Ron Howard is in a class all by himself. Beloved as Opie Taylor on "The Andy Griffith Show" in the 1960s and Richie Cunningham on "Happy Days" in the 1970s, he made his directing debut as a under the watchful eye of trash-cinema luminary Roger Corman with his films going on to cumulatively rack up nine Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director for "A Beautiful Mind." Our very own Bruce Miller had the chance to talk to him as he's making the "For Your Consideration" rounds for his movie "Thirteen Lives," a dramatization of the Tham Luang cave rescue, as well as promoting his new book, "The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family" which he co-authored with his brother, Clint. Also on the show we talk about new releases "Spoiler Alert" (adapted from a memoir where terminal cancer is the tragic twist) and "Violent Night" (a sort of "Home Alone" meets "John Wick"), both of which we think are very good but certainly might not make for the best double feature. Where to watch: Thirteen Lives (Prime Video) Spoiler Alert (Official Website) Violent Night (Official Website) Recent articles by Bruce Miller: 'Amsterdam' isn't the memorable mystery some thought 'George & Tammy' offers a surface look at country legends 'The Fabelmans' is one of the year's best pictures 'The Menu' serves up plenty of attitude -- and deadly surprises Gossip aside, 'Don't Worry Darling' bears watching Kal Penn says Santa Claus may just be the one to bring us together 'She Said' meticulously details the Weinstein case 'Christmas Story Christmas' recalls the original's beats Billy Eichner's 'Bros' is almost as tame as a Hallmark film Follow the show: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/streamed-screened/id1497387116 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/28W6TG5TZMsXwWARz6lEu4 Twitter: https://twitter.com/StreamdNScreend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/streamedandscreened Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StreamedAndScreened Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, an entertainment reporter for multiple decades who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal, Jared McNett, a reporter for the Sioux City Journal, and Chris Lay, the podcast operations manager for Lee Enterprises.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Director Ron Howard joins us to discuss his thrilling new film, “Thirteen Lives,” a harrowing dramatization of the real-life rescue of thirteen young Thai soccer players who were trapped in a flooding cave in 2018. Joining the discussion is much of the film's post-production team:Rachael Tate, Supervising Sound EditorOliver Tarney, Supervising Sound Editor/Sound DesignerChris Burden, Re-recording MixerWilliam Miller, Re-recording MixerJames D. Wilcox, EditorAuthenticity was the name of the game and the entire filmmaking team took great pains to make this film as historically accurate as possible.“It was great having [the actual rescue divers] Rick Stanton and Jason Mallinson around [set] because they were not only there to help make sure that the diving was accurate and that the divers' technique was right, and that we understood what the threats and the complications were, and the procedure of it all. But… they're not guys that dwell on emotions very much as individuals. Nonetheless, on the day that we were actually shooting the scene [where they first discover the boys] with the flashlights, I just remember Rick talking about he wasn't sure he'd ever see those boys again. He knew he was leaving them in the dark and… he just thought it was a hopeless scenario and he was pretty shattered by that. And I just thought, ‘leave them in the dark.' Making a moment that will allow that sort of focus. The flashlights kind of coming out [and] just slowly disappearing until we were in the complete darkness.”— Ron Howard, Director, “Thirteen Lives”Thirteen Lives is available to stream right now on Prime Video.Please subscribe to The Dolby Institute Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Institute and check out Dolby.com.

Unless superheroes, hobbits, or boy wizards are involved, fantasy films are all too rare these days. But in the 1980s, the genre was thriving on the big screen. Filmmakers coupled state-of-the-art visual effects with puppetry, make-up, and good ol' movie magic to create worlds fans could previously only imagine. Director Ron Howard's 1988 film Willow is one such film. Featuring a story by George Lucas, Willow was the filmmaker's blatant attempt to tell a story like The Lord of the Rings. And with the new Disney+ sequel series right around the corner, Jeremiah Stewart of the Let's Talk YouTube channel joins the show to remind listeners why they should revisit Willow. We'll discuss how the movie inspired Jeremiah's own interest, the greatness of star Warwick Davis, and what we want out of the new show.

Director Ron Howard discusses his new film, Thirteen Lives, with fellow director Akiva Goldsman in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. In the conversation, Howard reveals how much of the stunts the actors performed, his thoughts on the future of theatrical film, and his favorite scene in the film. The film follows the miraculous story of the 2018 Tham Luang Nang Non rescue, in which an international team of divers was assembled to save a group of 12 young boys and their soccer coach after they became trapped in a system of flooded caves in Thailand.

Director Ron Howard's engrossing new movie "Thirteen Lives" takes us back to those weeks in 2018 where the world was holding its collective breath, wondering if the young Thai boys and their coach would ever be rescued from the flooded cave in Chang Rai. This episode gave me the unique opportunity to interview several of the key Thai players who've brought this gripping story back to life.

Victoria chats to the incredible performer and movement choreographer Terry Notary who has contributed so much to the performance capture industry.  Notary's first career was as a performer with Cirque du Soleil. His first job as a stunt movement coach was on Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Director Ron Howard was hiring Cirque gymnasts for the film, and after sufficiently impressing Howard, Terry was offered the job of teaching all the actors how to move. Notary followed this new career path to Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, for which he prepared by studying ape movements at the LA County Zoo. Terry's first motion capture film was Avatar, where he was the movement coach for the Na'vi.

“Summer of Blockbusters” continues with 1995's “Apollo 13”!

Director Ron Howard brings audiences on an account of the six most intense days in the history of America's space program, as an otherwise routine trip to the Moon turned into a rescue mission to bring the three astronauts home. With a star-studded cast spearheaded by the legendary Tom Hanks, “Apollo 13” is full of substance as much as it is spectacle, showing audiences that there is no room for error in the vast beauty of outer space.  Like what you hear?

How much truth do we need in movies that are "based off of a true story"? Director Ron Howard takes many liberties throughout "A Beautiful Mind," which took home the Academy Award for Best Picture. But is the movie better or worse because of those changes? Mike and Brian explore the film's best moments, compare Russell Crowe's performance to those he delivered in his previous two movies ("Gladiator" in '00, and "The Insider" in '99 -- both nominated for Best Picture), talk trivia and decide whether "A Beautiful Mind" really is the best movie of 2001 -- or even belongs in the top five at all. www.bestpicturethis.com PATREON: https://tinyurl.com/r4thbbxz TWITTER: https://tinyurl.com/jkfucw8f FACEBOOK: https://tinyurl.com/58caezcd Email: BestPictureThis@gmail.com

Mike and Brian explore the film's best moments, compare Russell Crowe's performance to those he delivered in his previous two movies ("Gladiator" in '00, and "The Insider" in '99 -- both nominated for Best Picture), talk trivia and decide whether "A Beautiful Mind" really is the best movie of 2001 -- or even belongs in the top five at all. www.bestpicturethis.com PATREON: https://tinyurl.com/r4thbbxz TWITTER: https://tinyurl.com/jkfucw8f FACEBOOK: https://tinyurl.com/58caezcd Email: BestPictureThis@gmail.com

Kenny and Mike discuss the NETFLIX film Hillbilly Elegy and examine faith elements spotted in the latest film from Director Ron Howard. Set in Middletown Ohio in 2011, with flashbacks to 1997, Hillbilly Elegy is based on the bestselling memoir by J.D. Vance and depicts his struggle to overcome extreme family disfunction and systemic poverty community and family poverty. Warning: Those who have experienced abuse or addiction in  relationships may experience triggers by some depictions in the film. Faith Issues Spotted: * General awareness and appreciation of creation and life.                  Genesis 1,  * Living as Easter People with hope in the midst of brokenness.           Romans 8:18-39 * Filling voids and finding ultimate meaning and purpose in life           serving God. Romans 12: * Living into the goodness, image and likeness of God in which            all are created.  Genesis 1:26-27 * Centrality and importance of community and repairing when             community is broken.  Luke 10:26-27 * Loving and caring for oneself in Godly ways and loving God in           caring for oneself. Deuteronomy 6:4-6,  Ephesians 3:18-20         Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30,  

The movie Hillbilly Elegy sets itself up with a challenge it never overcomes — celebrating family disfunction. The movie’s inspiration, J.D. Vance, credits a hard-knocks childhood for turning him into a successful lawyer and bestselling author, painting a vivid portrait of his drug-addled mother and crusty grandmother. Director Ron Howard runs with these two women as the selling point for his movie version of the book.

A few days after most of the town of Paradise, California, was tragically burned to the ground in 2018, legendary filmmaker Ron Howard sent a crew. But unlike the other media that descended upon the picturesque town, Howard’s team would be alongside its residents for months, chronicling their future rather than dwelling on tragedy. Howard explains to host Stacey Wilson Hunt how his team gained the trust of the people of Paradise and came to admire their strength, tenacity and optimism.

Oscar winning Director Ron Howard’s gripping new documentary. Rebuilding Paradise, movingly recounts and expands on the devastating events of Nov. 8, 2018. A tragedy that began with a spark from a transmission line in Northern California, coupled with climate-impacted conditions, quickly grew into a devastating firestorm that engulfed the picturesque city of Paradise, California. By the time the Camp Fire was extinguished, it had killed 85 people, displaced 50,000 residents and destroyed 95% of local structures. It was the deadliest U.S. fire in 100 years — and the worst ever in California’s history. As residents faced the damage to their lives, to their homes and to more than 150,000 acres in and around their 141-year-old town, they did something amazing: They worked together to heal. The community members went on to forge a bond stronger than what they had before the catastrophe, even as their hope and spirit were challenged by continued adversity: relocations, financial crises, government hurdles, water poisoning, grief and PTSD. From the moment the crisis began, The Camp Fire and its overwhelming aftermath became a de facto lesson in what we all must do: protect our environment, help our neighbors, plan for future dangers and remember to preserve the traditions that unite us — just as these resilient citizens did when they began the important task of REBUILDING PARADISE. Producer Sara Bernstein joins us for a conversation on how the production team, led by Oscar-winning director Ron Howard gained the confidence and trust of families scarred by one of the most devastating fires in California as well as documenting the resiliency and character of the people rebuilding Paradise.

Director Ron Howard paints a riveting and moving portrait of the tragic wildfire that destroyed a historic northern California town and the heroic efforts of its residents to bring the community back to life in the excellent new documentary release, "Rebuilding Paradise."

Oscar-winning director Ron Howard talks about directing his first documentary, Rebuilding Paradise, about the devastating Camp fire that completely wiped out the town of Paradise, California on November 8, 2018. The film follows the people in community over time as they deal with the tragedy and begin rebuilding. Directing a documentary was a new experience for Ron, and he felt a personal connection to the town- his mother-in-law had lived in Paradise. Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's production company, Imagine, had wanted to start producing documentaries and they sent out a crew to begin shooting just one week after the fire. Ron picked up some new skills while working on the unscripted project. He had to learn how to let the cameras follow the flow of the conversation, and to be minimalist in covering every possible angle. The experience has led him to make directorial choices in his scripted work that are more verité. Director of photography Lincoln Else worked closely with Ron and the Imagine production team, and developed a unified visual language for Rebuilding Paradise that he communicated with the other shooters. Lincoln learned documentary filmmaking at an early age, loading 16mm mags and assisting his father, documentarian and professor Jon Else. He likes a very simple hand-held style, opting to just put a camera on his shoulder in order to be as reactive as possible. Though footage from many different news sources and people's personal videos was used, the bulk of the interview content in Rebuilding Paradise was “fly on the wall” style.

Today we talk our boy "Opie" Director Ron Howard and his hot daughter Bryce. With special guests Addy and Mad Morgan.

Wuhan--China's new forbidden city. The new coronavirus that apparently started there is leading the city to now shut its doors. People aren't being allowed to leave. The airport and train stations will be closed to outgoing passengers. This comes as the World Health Organization is deciding whether it should be declared a "public health emergency of international concern." Opening arguments begin in the impeachment trial of President Trump. House managers are making their case to remove the president from office. Will Democrats get any victories with the rules now in effect?  Voting on your smartphone in real political elections--smart or stupid? One county is experimenting with the idea.  Cyborg technology could end the opioid epidemic across the country. Scientists at the University of West Virginia are testing whether rewiring a person's brain can stop addiction. Actor/director Ron Howard talks to KNX In Depth about the new TV show he's behind and he's not afraid to dive into politics either, explaining why he harshly criticized President Trump recently in a tweet.    See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

From child star to Academy Award winning director, Ron Howard has always made it his business to entertain. And entertain us he has - from A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13 and Frost / Nixon to his most recent offerings - the Beatles documentary Eight Days A Week and Dan Brown thriller Inferno. But whereas Edith's previous guest Andrea Arnold prefers to accompany her films with source music, Ron is a particular fan of score, and has, accordingly, collaborated with some of the finest cinematic composers of recent times, including James Horner, Thomas Newman, John Williams and Hans Zimmer. We'll hear plenty more about the director's admiration for that venerable bunch during the course of our conversation, as well as excerpts from the work they produced for his movies. Ron also reflects on his time as an actor, and has a most amusing anecdote about Michael Jackson!
