We are back again, proving once and for all that What's New to Netflix is the ultimate Netflix podcast, especially when it comes to telling you all of the new titles coming to Netflix in April 2025! Then it's Tom Hiddleston in a J. G. Ballard adaptation of madness, destruction, and paint in High-Rise, directed by Ben Wheatley from 2015. Next, Emily Blunt has to do some very unethical things in order to bring a drug cartel down, with the help of Benecio del Toro and Josh Brolin in Sicario, directed by Denis Villeneuve, from 2015. And then we get into The Russo Brothers' The Electric State from 2025. Is it as bad as people say it is? Can Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt salvage this movie, or is this one for the scrap heap? All of this plus the shocking absence of comedy specials and reality shows and the return of Black Mirror and You. got a suggestion for the show?: whatsnewtonetflix@gmail.com

Welcome back to Born to Watch, where this week the team tackles the endlessly rewatchable, criminally underappreciated Edge of Tomorrow (2014). Strap in as Whitey, Damo, and Dan on the Land gear up for a sci-fi action loop fest featuring Tom Cruise in one of his most against-type roles, Emily Blunt as a full-metal badass, and a time-travel plot that actually sticks the landing. Enjoy our Edge of Tomorrow (2014) Review!The boys jump right into the paradox-riddled battlefield, first marveling at how this epic blockbuster somehow bombed in the US, despite being everything a great action movie should be. They blame lousy marketing, title confusion (was it Live Die Repeat?), and the fact that in 2014, Cruise was still on Hollywood's naughty step thanks to Oprah's couch.But now? It's cult-classic gold.Whitey kicks off by calling out just how rare it is to see Cruise playing the weasel, Major Cage is an ad man thrown into combat, clueless and terrified. For Dan, this fish-out-of-water arc makes the movie shine, watching Cruise go from smug coward to unstoppable warrior. Damo agrees, even calling Edge of Tomorrow his number one Cruise performance, yep, he goes there.Emily Blunt earns unanimous praise as Rita Vrataski, the “Angel of Verdun” and all-around exosuit-slaying legend. She's fierce, stoic, and fit as hell, basically the action heroine we didn't know we needed in 2014. Her iconic push-up entrance gets a lot of airtime (and a few longing sighs), and the team agrees she holds her own, and then some, against Cruise.And what would a Born to Watch ep be without the usual blend of insight and irreverence? We get tangents on everything from duck anatomy (cloacas, anyone?) to Bill Paxton's legendary status as the only man killed by a Terminator, a Predator, and an Alien. The Paxton love is real.The pod dives into director Doug Liman's sharp visuals and crisp pacing, and shout out screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie, who somehow turns a convoluted time loop premise into a tight, clever, and emotional thrill ride. Liman's resume (Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) gets the props it deserves, and there's a great sidebar on the upcoming Road House remake, complete with hot takes on Jake Gyllenhaal.As always, the “Hit, Sleeper, Dud” segment delivers, with Gone Girl getting the nod as a masterful hit, Kevin Costner's 3 Days to Kill as a solid sleeper, and Lucy (sorry, ScarJo) landing squarely in dud territory. Bonus points for Damo's vivid breakdown of Ben Affleck's infamous side-dick scene.The episode also features a glorious Cruise countdown. Each host reveals their top five Tom Cruise films, expect Jerry Maguire, Collateral, Top Gun: Maverick, and of course, Edge of Tomorrow, to make appearances. Damo even throws in Tropic Thunder, because who can forget Les Grossman?Then there's the philosophical stuff: How long was Cage actually in the time loop? (Answer: a hell of a long time). Was blackmailing the general really the best plan? (Debatable). And what's the real ending? (Whitey thinks it's Cruise's “now you're gonna bone me” smile).Oh, and voicemails are back! Listeners call in to rant about The Bodyguard, praise the pod's Whitney Houston renditions, and drop the occasional F-bomb. Classic Born to Watch fan energy.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!Join the conversation:Is Edge of Tomorrow Cruise's most underrated film? Would you waste 300 time loops trying to get with Emily Blunt? Did this movie deserve to flop—or is it a misunderstood masterpiece?Drop us a voicemail at BornToWatch.com.au and be part of the show!#BornToWatch #EdgeOfTomorrow #TomCruise #EmilyBlunt #MoviePodcast #SciFiMovies #DougLiman #TimeLoopMovies #LiveDieRepeat #FilmDiscussion #UnderratedGems #CinephileApproved

Elien De Vos is kinesist, podcasthost van Wellnesswijven en een Disney Klassiekers resident-in-wording. Ze koos zelf voor de film ‘Into the Woods', een verfilming van een Stephen Sondheim musical waarin de verhaallijnen en personages van verschillende sprookjes door elkaar lopen. We hebben het over de straffe prestaties van onder meer Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt en James Corden. Maar ook over thee drinken uit Chip, plannen voor Tokyo Disneyland en haar vrijgezellen in Disneyland Paris. Over emoties in 'The Office', over DM's sturen naar Rachel Zegler en het concert van Disney-teenage-idol Sabrina Carpenter. En Elien stelt me een Disneyvraag waar ik het antwoord op schuldig moet blijven. Jawel, dat kan!

En compañía de los chicos de Cine Actual comentamos Sicario, la película de Denis Villeneuve con Benicio del Toro. En Par Impar llamamos a los chicos del podcast Cine Actual (Francisco Javier Santiago, Daniel Rengel y Samuel Úbeda) para comentar Sicario, la ya mítica película de Denis Villeneuve con Emily Blunt y Benicio del Toro que retrata el mundo del narcotráfico en México y la frontera con EEUU. En la zona fronteriza entre Estados Unidos y México, la joven agente del FBI Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) es reclutada en medio de una iniciativa secreta del Gobierno para luchar contra el tráfico de drogas. Bajo el mando de Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), un frío miembro de las fuerzas gubernamentales, y de Alejandro (Benicio del Toro), un enigmático asesor, el equipo emprende una misión que lleva a la mujer a cuestionarse sus convicciones sobre la guerra contra los narcos y los límites de la ley. La película de Denis Villeneuve, que ahora ha alcanzado la gloria definitiva con Dune y su secuela, está escrita por el muy productivo Taylor Sheridan, que posteriormente presentaría la serie Yellowstone y todas sus secuelas y precuelas, y que aquí ensaya algunos de sus registros principales en una película tensa y excelentemente rodada por el director de fotografía Roger Deakins.
Join me as I embark on an epic 3D sci-fi movie marathon, diving into four incredible films that pushed the boundaries of visual effects and immersive storytelling: The Martian (2015), Gravity (2013), Dredd (2012), and Edge of Tomorrow (2014). In this episode, I break down what makes each film a standout in the science fiction genre, exploring their ground-breaking 3D visuals, intense action sequences, and lasting legacy.From the vast, empty void of Gravity to the stylized brutality of Dredd, each of these films uses 3D in unique ways. In this episode, I break down how The Martian's landscapes, Gravity's weightlessness, Dredd's surreal slow-motion sequences, and Edge of Tomorrow's intense battlefields create unforgettable cinematic experiences.Tune in now for a deep dive into these incredible 3D sci-fi films! Whether you're a movie buff, sci-fi fan, or 3D enthusiast, this episode is packed with insights, analysis, and a discussion of how these films continue to leave a lasting impact.The Martian (2015)A gripping survival drama that follows Mark Watney (Matt Damon), an astronaut stranded on Mars after a disastrous mission. Directed by Ridley Scott, this film combines thrilling realism with humor and heart, showcasing NASA's ingenuity and the power of the human spirit.

Directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith), the film follows Major William Cage (Tom Cruise), who is thrown into an unwinnable war against alien invaders but gains the ability to reset time every time he dies.

COMEBACK OR BACKTRACK?! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau (DC Studios) dive deep into the week's biggest entertainment stories with unfiltered opinions and plenty of laughs. They kick things off by responding to feedback from last week's podcast, questioning if they've fallen into the clickbait trap, and exploring how tribalism is ruining media literacy. The conversation then shifts to Dwayne Johnson's bold career reinvention, taking on a Martin Scorsese Hawaiian crime saga (potentially alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Emily Blunt) and starring in Benny Safdie's The Smashing Machine. Coy & Greg break down what this shift could mean for The Rock's future as a serious actor, drawing comparisons to Dave Bautista's transformative career path. They then tackle Will Smith's sequel spree—Hancock 2 and I Am Legend 2 are officially in development—as they debate whether this is a strategic comeback post-Oscars slap or a risky play to reclaim his blockbuster legacy. Smith's musical return also sparks discussion on his evolving public image and audience trust. Next, the duo dives into Amazon's acquisition of the James Bond franchise, expressing concerns about a potential Bond Cinematic Universe that could dilute the franchise's classic charm. Will Amazon respect 007's legacy, or will we see unnecessary spin-offs and forced TV shows? They also break down: Zack Snyder & James Gunn's viral photo—uniting fandoms or stirring the pot? Marvel's recent project cancellations and the latest Daredevil: Born Again updates. The potential return of The Defenders to the MCU. Coy's thoughts on name-dropping, industry insecurities, and the evolution of YouTube discourse. Matt Damon's casting in The Odyssey and the broader question of how Hollywood handles legacy characters. The growing issue of celebrity worship, media clickbait, and fandom extremism. Plus, the conversation takes some wild turns, covering Kanye West, the need to let Zack Snyder move on, and debates over Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Donnie Wahlberg, and Mark Wahlberg. The episode wraps up with big-picture thoughts on fandoms, media culture, and the evolving landscape of Hollywood.

They say the stunt man gets no respect. Out of all the things that are in movies, they are unrecognized at the Oscars. Many times folks have tried to push for an award and category for the stunt men and women and yet each year it never happens. THE FALL GUY, a film from 2024, actually turns the stuntman into one of the main characters.From Rotten Tomatoes: “He's a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?”THE FALL GUY is directed by former stuntman David Leitch, who is best known for directing JOHN WICK (2014), ATOMIC BLONDE (2017), DEADPOOL 2 (2018), BULLET TRAIN (2022), among others. Written by Drew Pearce and starring Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling, the movie received fantastic reviews from critics and audiences alike. Though it wasn't the phenomenal box office success the producers had hoped, the movie has gotten a second life on streaming. Your co-hosts take a look at the film and give their thoughts.
“You're in acting class and you're studying Chekov or ‘Waiting for Godot' -- and then you end up doing 80s tits-and-a**… You caught on pretty quick what it was about and where the power lay.” -- Actress Heather ThomasWhat was it like to be an 80s poster icon and sex symbol? Susan and Sharon welcome The Fall Guy star and “80s Poster Lady” Heather Thomas. She's an actor, writer and activist -- but may be best known for her “Pink Bikini” poster, one of the best-selling pin-up posters of all time. Heather Thomas had leading roles in television shows like BJ and the Bear, The Love Boat and TJ Hooker -- as well as the movie Zapped! with Scott Baio, Willie Aames and Felice Schachter. But her most famous role was playing stuntwoman Jody Banks on the hit 80s television series The Fall Guy. Running for five seasons on ABC, The Fall Guy spawned board games, posters, a video game -- and just last year, a major feature film starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt -- and Heather Thomas! Since her days as a TV star and pin-up queen, Heather Thomas has gone on to an extraordinary career as a novelist, political activist, organizer and fund-raiser. NOTE: This episode was recorded Dec. 2024, before the LA Fires. Our thoughts are with Heather and her family, and all those impacted by the fires. Stay safe. Be well. THE CONVERSATIONWORKING WITH MONKEYS: Clyde, the orangutan from Every Which Way But Loose, was her co-star once: “He thought it was funny to keep grabbing my boob. I thought he was gonna rip it off!” And a stint on BJ and the Bear led to producer Glen Larsen tapping her for the co-starring role in The Fall Guy. WORKING WITH TV PRODUCERS: “All of them are crazy. You're not gonna find any normal ones, not in those days. Everyone was nuts. And they still are.”"Smile more": Early on, the ABC network executives were afraid that Heather Thomas wasn't likable. So they put her in a bikini. “I guess that made up for me not smiling enough.” STUNT WORK: “Lee Majors almost broke my nose once.” "I was good on rollerskates!"In preparation for a Fall Guy episode, Heather trained with the Los Angeles Thunderbirds roller-derby team: “They showed me how to ‘break my back' on the rail -- it was really fun!”Ted Lange -- Isaac, the bartender on The Love Boat -- was one of Heather's favorite directors on the Fall Guy.A GOOD DIRECTOR: For Heather, it was someone who brought her into the filmmaking process. For Lee Majors -- it was anyone who got him home by 5:00pm! THE POSTER: Once the show was a hit, a poster was the next big step: “It outsold Farrah Fawcett. I bought a house. I was thrilled.”DIS-LIKENESS: Heather's image has been hi-jacked and used for everything from lighters, to puzzles, to notebook covers -- to a pillow!ON HAVING A FAMOUS BODY: “My body was my living. That's how I saw it. So I had to feed it, exercise it -- I couldn't have an ounce of cellulite. It was part of the gig. But I didn't care, I was grateful. I was making more money than I ever had in my life. I was a kid.”ZAPPED! -- Teen sex comedy -- or sexual harassment? “They tried to get me topless, but my contract said uh-uh! So, they used a body double. There's a big disclaimer at the end of the movie saying that it's not my tits.”Activism: “Ever since they said, ‘You can't climb the tree, the boys can' -- I was a feminist.”So join Susan and Sharon -- and Heather -- as they talk fly-fishing, Star Wars, David Letterman,Teen Beat, Shaun Cassidy & Parker Stevenson, “Gabor-lore”, Cliff Robertson's toupeé, organizing your phone by decade, not complying in advance -- and canoeing with Henry Winkler!AUDIO-OGRAPHYFind Heather Thomas on Twitter at Twitter.com/HeatherThomasAF And find Heather Thomas on BlueSky at HeatherThomasAF.bsky.social Watch Heather Thomas in The Fall Guy on Peacock, Amazon Prime or Flixfling!Check DontGetPurged.org to make sure your name has not been purged from voter rolls!Find out more about CREW at CitizensForEthics.orgVITAL READINGGet Handbook for A Post-Roe America by Robin Marty at Bookshop.org.Check out Men In Dark Times by Hannah Ahrendt at Bookshop.org.Read Democracy Awakening by Heather Cox Richardson at Bookshop.org.You can also follow Richardson's substack.SUPPORT FOR THE LA FIRESOnline at DisasterAssistance.gov On the FEMA App for mobile devices or Call the FEMA Helpline at 1-800-621-3362Calls are accepted every day from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. PST.More resources at Eaton Canyon Community Relief.Google List of LA County Resources.

The Wolf Man explores a disturbingly realistic vision of what it would take to turn a man into a werewolf. Does this horror movie have any basis in science fact? Do werewolves and wolf men even obey their own story rules?“Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.” The Wolf Man (1941)Werewolves, wolf men (and women), and really werebeasts of all shapes and sizes have been a part of our collective unconscious for about as long as we've been able to tell stories. There's something universal (no pun intended) about the concept of a human being shape-shifting back into a more primal state. And if these tales were terrifying around a campfire, they're even more effective on screen, where all of the brilliant special effects Hollywood has to offer have long been brought to the table to transform ordinary actors into bloodthirsty werebeasts.But just where (“where oh, werewolf…”) does this story come from? Is there any chance at all that humans can devolve into a more animalistic state? Is there any reason to believe that werewolves could be real, even if they aren't exactly as depicted on film? Check out the latest episode of Does it Fly? for the answers to these questions and more!SUGGESTED VIEWING This episode is based primarily on the version of the werewolf legend told in 2010's The Wolfman, directed by Joe Johnston (we took a look at another of Johnston's films in our episode on The Rocketeer). It's a tremendously underrated film that starred Benicio del Toro, Emily Blunt, Anthony Hopkins, and Hugo Weaving. If you haven't seen it, we rate it pretty highly.But that film was an updating of perhaps the most iconic werewolf movie of all time, 1941's The Wolf Man starring Lon Chaney, Jr. A key piece of the classic Universal Monsters cycle of films, The Wolf Man is the source of many of pop culture's most enduring pieces of werewolf lore.However, if you're looking for the greatest werewolf movie of all time, the one that is the best blend of old and new, then look no further than 1981's An American Werewolf in London. While something of a horror-comedy, it won the first ever Academy Award for Best Makeup thanks to Rick Baker's incredible werewolf makeup and what is the undisputed champion of amazingly realistic on-screen man-to-wolf transformations ever put on film. It's not for the faint of heart, but you can't call yourself a true wolf-fan until you've seen this one.For more on the origins of horror stories, Tamara also recommends Monstrum, which is exceptionally cool.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! MetamorphosisFairly common in nature is the basic concept of metamorphosis, most commonly illustrated by the egg to larva to pupa to final form life cycle found in insects (think caterpillars to butterflies rather than humans to wolves). Not a human thing, necessarily, but a good indicator of how such transformations aren't uncommon in nature.LycanthropyThere is actually a clinical disorder in which a human can hold the psychological belief that they've either turned into a wolf or are in the process of becoming one. There are actual scientific journal articles on the topic!Werewolves in MythologyOne of the earliest recorded stories as we know them is the epic of Gilgamesh, and even there someone turns into a wolf. Similarly, it's a theme that appears more than once in Ancient Greek mythology. Basically, werewolves have been with us since long before Hollywood discovered them.The Original Werewolf MovieWhile we detail plenty of cool werewolf movies in this episode, there's one you can only read about, the long lost (thanks to fire) 1913 silent film The Werewolf.LUCAKnown as the Last Universal Common Ancestor, it's proof that every species on this planet shares a little DNA. Does it prove the existence of werewolves? Absolutely not. It's still pretty cool, though!WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?This isn't our first spooky rodeo!

Producer/Writer/Director/Composer Jeffrey Sherman eagerly went into the family business, following his grandfather, Tin Pan Alley Songwriter Al Sherman and his Dad, Robert B. Sherman of the legendary Disney Songwriters, The Sherman Brothers. Jeff and his cousin Greg Sherman's film, The Boys, chronicles their fathers' Disney journey from Annette Funicello's hit single, Tall Paul, through The Disney Songbook of Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and legendary Disneyland Park rides including It's A Small World (After All!)Jeff joins us along with HIS next-gen musical son Alex, who offers up one of his beautiful songs. Jeff talks about his remarkable childhood which found him on sets with his Dad, at scoring sessions for Tom Sawyer and touring Disney Studios with Walt Disney! Jeff also describes the fraught relationship between his Dad and Uncle which somehow forged treasured tunes that have brightened the world.In celebration of its 60th anniversary, ABC and 20/20 recently aired 'The Untold Story of Mary Poppins, co-produced by Jeff and his cousin Greg. For this production, The ABC News archive doors swung wide open and the cousins discovered early drawings, backstage footage, archival interviews and the audio tape recordings of the Sherman Brothers attempting to win the hardened heart of the famously crusty Mary Poppins Author, P.L. Travers.The special also details how the Sherman Brothers both spotted Julie Andrews performing a scene from My Fair Lady on The Ed Sullivan. Each sensed that she would be a perfect Poppins but knew that the pick needed to be Walt's idea and so Broadway tickets were arranged and on cue, he walked backstage and offered Julie Andrews the part.The special also includes interviews with Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke and today's legends who have been moved and inspired by The Sherman Brothers including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Tom Hanks and Emily Blunt.Jeff shares that through the noise of his father and uncle's contentious relationship, they both loved him and were generous with lessons and opportunities to visit sets, sit in on recording sessions and ask questions of greats like John Williams and Irwin Kostal. Jeff received piano lessons from his Tin Pan Alley Tunesmith grandfather, Al Sherman and Jeff's polio vaccine inspired the beloved classic, A Spoonful of Sugar.All that plus Alex Sherman remembers his grandfather and performs an original tune!Path Points of Interest:Jeff on Facebook Jeff on YouTubeJeff on IMDBThe Untold Story of Mary PoppinsThe Boys: The Sherman Brothers' StoryEntrance by Jeffrey ShermanAlex ShermanRobert B.

Hey there, fellow watchers! It's your host Whitey, flying solo once again for this special edition of Born to Watch. After last week's popular solo mailbox episode, he's back on the mic, diving deep into the year that was 2024—a year that, in Whitey's words, wasn't exactly Hollywood's finest. With a trusty mix of humour, honesty, and more than a few nostalgic callbacks to the glory days of video shops, Whitey gives us his take on the Good, the Bad, and the downright Ugly movies of 2024. This episode covers everything, whether you're looking for hidden gems, blockbuster letdowns, or absolute cinematic disasters, so strap in for the best and worst movies of 2024.The Good – Movies Worth Your TimeKicking things off with the Good list, Whitey revisits some of the standout films of the year. First up is Alien: Romulus, a tense sci-fi thriller that Whitey still stands by after a couple of rewatches at home. Despite a few nitpicks—like the unnecessary hybrid twist and a clunky android character—he praises its gripping tension, stellar action, and atmospheric set design reminiscent of the original Alien film. Whitey even boldly declares it might just be the third-best movie in the franchise!Next, it's time for some weather chaos with Twisters, the legacy sequel that brought just enough nostalgia without going overboard. Whitey recounts his less-than-ideal cinema experience (complete with overly chatty patrons) but admits the film was still a blast, thanks to Glen Powell's charisma and a twin-tornado showdown that kept him glued to his seat. And, of course, Whitey couldn't leave out Deadpool and Wolverine, a crowd-pleaser packed with slapstick humour, MCU references, and the electric chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.From the toe-tapping spectacle of Wicked to Denis Villeneuve's stunning epic Dune: Part 2, Whitey breaks down what made these films worth watching—and why you should check them out if you haven't already. He even gives a shoutout to Juror #2, Clint Eastwood's final film, calling it a fitting farewell for the legendary director.The Bad – Not Terrible, Just DisappointingIn the Bad section, Whitey tackles films that had potential but ultimately fell short. First on the chopping block is Furiosa, George Miller's Mad Max prequel that struggled without Max himself. While Whitey appreciates Miller's world-building and some solid action scenes, the bloated runtime and over-reliance on CGI left him underwhelmed. He also critiques Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which failed to capture the charm of its predecessor despite the return of the original trio.Whitey wraps up this section by discussing The Fall Guy, a disappointing adaptation of a beloved 80s TV show. Despite its promising cast—Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt—the film's ludicrous plot and lack of heart earned it a spot on the Bad list.The Ugly – The Year's Biggest LetdownsFinally, we arrive at the Ugly, where Whitey unleashes his full frustration on Joker: Folie à Deux. He doesn't mince words, calling it a “trainwreck of boredom and arrogance” that destroyed the original's brilliance. While Whitey has a soft spot for musicals, this wasn't the kind of musical he could get behind.Bonus Mentions & What's Coming NextFor those who stick around till the end, Whitey throws in a couple of honourable mentions, including Gladiator 2—a film that, while unnecessary, still delivered some fun moments—and Inside Out 2, a sequel that entertained without reaching the emotional depth of its predecessor.Looking ahead, Whitey teases next week's episode, where he and Damo will tackle The Last Jedi, one of the most divisive Star Wars films of all time. Expect fiery opinions, passionate debate, and plenty of laughs as the duo dissects what could be the worst Star Wars movie ever made.If you're a fan of brutally honest reviews, nostalgic movie talk, and Whitey's signature blend of wit and sarcasm, this episode is a must-listen. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and enjoy this rollercoaster ride through 2024's cinematic highs and lows.

Inspired by last week's "Discovery" time loop episode, we're taking a look at 2014's action sci-fi time-loop trip "Edge of Tomorrow". Tom Cruise plays a media relations army man thrust into actual battle and lasts about as long as you'd expect...until some alien magic makes it so he gets to try again. And again. AND AGAIN. Can he save the planet AND get out of the loop with the help of Emily Blunt? Join us and find out! Also this week: plot holes, video games, and marketing!
This week, we're diving into action-packed cinema, holiday hijinks, and stories that will leave you laughing (or cringing).

POV shots offer audiences a first-hand experience of the action, making for some of the most immersive and memorable moments in storytelling. After our countdown, we'll delve into the thrilling sci-fi action of Edge of Tomorrow and the playful perspectives of Rugrats.Top 5 POV Scenes in Film and Television:Hardcore Henry (2015) - Almost the entire film is a POV masterpiece, but one standout scene involves a high-adrenaline chase sequence that fully immerses viewers in the protagonist's frantic escape from numerous adversaries. The seamless integration of action and perspective makes this a top pick.Lady in the Lake (1947) - This classic film noir is shot entirely from the POV of the private detective protagonist. The scene where he discovers a body is particularly impactful, as viewers experience the shock and realization directly through his eyes.Enter the Void (2009) - This film uses the POV technique to express the disembodied state of a spirit wandering through Tokyo. The continuous float-over scenes through the neon-lit cityscape are both disorienting and mesmerizing, pushing the boundaries of narrative cinema.Peep Show (TV Series, 2003-2015) - This British comedy series is known for its extensive use of POV shots, giving viewers a literal view into the minds of the main characters. One memorable scene involves Mark, one of the protagonists, at a job interview, providing both humor and pathos from his direct perspective.The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) - This film tells the true story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, paralyzed except for one eye. The scenes shot from his POV, particularly when communicating via blinking, are profound and deeply personal, highlighting the power of POV in conveying internal experiences.Edge of Tomorrow utilizes POV shots effectively, especially in the battle scenes where Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) relives the same day repeatedly. Each reset gives the audience a direct view of his growing desperation and skill, enhancing the film's intense action and sci-fi narrative. Rugrats While not traditionally known for POV shots, Rugrats often employs a low-angle perspective that mimics how toddlers might view the world. This approach is cleverly used to make everyday settings appear larger and more adventurous, encapsulating the show's charm and appeal to its young audience.Today's episode promises an exciting exploration of POV scenes across different genres and formats. Join us as we dive into these films and shows, experiencing first-hand the power of this immersive technique. Whether it's the intense action of Edge of Tomorrow or the playful world of Rugrats, there's a lot to appreciate and discuss.
This week, Sami shares some dog updates with Aleen and Jordana, before they get into the stories of the week. First up is People's Sexiest Man Alive, John Krasinski, and the DeuxMoi blind item that has people second guessing his crowning. Did Glen Powell and Pedro Pascal actually turn it down, or is that just what their publicists want us to think? Wicked is almost in theaters, and Sami heard a rumor it's the best movie musical since Chicago... Meanwhile, Mattel had to apologize after accidentally linking to a porn site on its Wicked doll packaging. Next up, fellow podcaster Armie Hammer had his mother on the show, who shared that she got him a vasectomy for his birthday last year to make sure there wouldn't be any more little Hammers running around. Usually our moms just take us to dinner, but to each their own. Then, they send congrats to Megan Fox on her pregnancy and speculate on Khloé's mysterious new business venture. In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share some of their fall traditions. Aleen gives her review of the first half of Emilia Perez, which unexpectedly evoked shades of Cocomelon. We're sending the Mattel packaging and marketing team to the Caymans, and our Betch Of The Week is Emily Blunt, for being married to the Sexiest Man Alive. Make sure to get your copy of Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter and read chapters 9-16, so you can join us on Monday, November 18th for the second episode of our Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits!

It's POP CULTURE THURSDAY !! This week on the JTrain Podcast, Jared Freid dives into People Magazine's announcement of John Krasinski as the "Sexiest Man Alive." In his signature Pop Culture Thursday style, Jared takes us through a mix of headlines and hot takes as he reacts to the news, questions the choice, and humorously dissects the ongoing debate around celebrity sex appeal. Jared also reflects on the timeless appeal of Krasinski and how his marriage to Emily Blunt might contribute to his "sexiness."The episode doesn't stop there—Jared also shares insights on "B Movies with the Baby," his recurring guest segment that rates low-stakes flicks, especially for those curious if they're worth a plane watch. Plus, Jared reflects on male versus female sex appeal, from Sabrina Carpenter's “female beauty” to Sydney Sweeney's “guy hot” aura, breaking down why these differences spark such spirited conversations. Jared dives into the world of People's “Sexiest Man Alive” and the very real anxieties that come with holding such a title. He jokes about how men receiving this kind of recognition are just asking to be teased—especially by their friends. Jared shares a hilarious story of how any compliment he receives, like losing weight, gets instantly undermined by his dad. In 2021, Paul Rudd was named “Sexiest Man Alive” and even he worried about being mocked for it! The conversation moves to Jared's dad, whose response to any compliment for Jared seems to be endless jokes at his expense
