In light of the new, well-acted and well-shot BBC/Netflix adaptation, we discuss William Golding's 1954 novel Lord of the Flies and its previous (1963, 1991) adaptations. Featuring Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn and Al. What do we think of the updates made for this retelling? Its pacing? Its repeated close-up shots of kids' silent faces? Is this per usual obviously inferior to the novel, or does it actually present deeper characters and a more visceral presentation of their degradation?

How many flies do you have in your box right now? A few dozen? A few hundred? More than a thousand? Yeah, it's great to have a lot of flies on hand - but that many choices makes it easy to overthink your fly selection. That can lead to you switching flies too often, when the real reason you're not catching fish has to do with your presentation. So, today on Untangled, you'll learn a bit more about why it's a good idea to pare down your fly selection, and the 10 fly patterns you could catch 90% of trout with.  You'll also learn about:  How long flies should last before they fall apart Whether you should focus on fishing other types of flies (nymphs and streamers) during a hatch How to fish deep on a lake without sinking fly line LINKS FROM THE SHOW Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE Get the FREE Year-Round Hatch Chart - CHECK IT OUT

Before Satoshi Kon's beloved film, Yoshikazu Takeuchi's light novel Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis had a different story to tell, one with more traditional horror trappings, but with themes about identity and obsession that carried through. In episode 382, join Luke Elliott and James Bailey as they discuss how the book is on its own, how idol culture can exploit both young stars and their audiences, the ethics around writing a book depicting such graphic material, and what bones were present in the story that would go on to inspire the film people know and love.

The phrase “toxic masculinity,” deployed ad nauseum over the past decade, now borders on cliché, but the fact that men are in some kind of crisis feels beyond dispute. Statistics on boys' prospects are bleak, showing falling graduation rates, diminished employment opportunities, and dismal mental-health outcomes. Meanwhile, the manosphere has fanned the flames of these discontents. The question of what's to be done is more pressing than ever. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider a new wave of texts that aims to diagnose men's ills, and to offer a path forward. The men in these works fall, broadly, into two lanes: the damaged, sometimes violent types who are front and center in such series as Richard Gadd's “Half Man,” and the softer, more emotionally attuned protagonists of shows like “Heated Rivalry” and “DTF St. Louis.” But this tidy schematic falls apart in real life—and, as looksmaxxers have taught us, obsessing over models of manhood may only compound the problem. “Usually, if I'm thinking about being a man, it is in a self-reproving or self-indicting way that is not helpful to the situation,” Cunningham says. “When you're asking how to be a man, often the real answer is just how to be a person.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Half Man” (2026)“Magnolia” (1999)“Fight Club” (1999)“Heated Rivalry” (2025—)“‘Heated Rivalry,' ‘Pillion,' and the New Drama of the Closet” (The New Yorker)“Adolescence” (2025)“DTF St. Louis” (2026)“The New Masculinity of ‘DTF St. Louis,' ” by Alexandra Schwartz (The New Yorker)“Lord of the Flies” (2026)“Lord of the Flies,” by William Golding“Can Starting from Scratch Save ‘Vanderpump Rules'?” by Naomi Fry (The New Yorker)Clavicular's appearance on “Impaulsive”“Why So Many Guys Are Obsessed with Testosterone,” by Azeen Ghorayshi (The New York Times)“Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere” (2026)“The Pitt” (2025—)New episodes drop every Thursday.

Obsession The Punisher: One Last Kill The Drama Kevin Hart Roast The Lord of the Flies

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. We roll out with three Jangles -- news with a Jewish angle. Borschel-Dan gives her favorite actress, 96-year-old June Squib, a shoutout for her recent Tony nomination for "Marjorie Prime." Hoffman discusses his recent discovery of a famous Jewish porn star and also the new reboot of "Lord of the Flies" which hints that one of the boys is Jewish. We then turn to "Cast a Giant Shadow," the 1966 biopic of Colonel Mickey Marcus. David Daniel "Mickey" Marcus was a complicated character who was foundational to the organization of what became the Israel Defense Force. The United States Army colonel, who was later dubbed Israel's first general, was also instrumental at the Nuremberg Trials. Kirk Douglas plays Marcus and the rest of the all-star cast includes Senta Berger, Yul Brynner, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra and Angie Dickinson. The movie maven and our host disagreed about the film, so stick around to see if "Cast a Giant Shadow" gets an "oy," "meh" or "not bad" in this week's The Reel Schmooze. The Reel Schmooze is produced by Ari Schlacht and can be found wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1 Chronicles 10:13Curiosity in the occult can lead to tragedy. What seems like harmless and innocent fun can quickly escalate to the point where you're involved spiritually and physically. Like Chuck Swindoll says, “Watch out for the enemy. He not only plays dirty; he plays for keeps. And he's playing for your soul.”

Everyone go wish Wells a Happy Birthday this weekend because those Saturday birthdays only come around once every seven years. (We think? Don't check the math.) On today's ep, Wells and Brand-eye bring a TON of favorites to the table. Wells is STILL obsessed with From on MGM+ and needs everyone to watch immediately, Brandi is fully locked in on Margot's Got Money Troubles on Hulu (an absolute must-watch in her opinion), and the Deadpool Killer doc on Netflix has Wells spiraling in the best way possible. They also get into the latest Murdaugh murder update, UFO files dropping left and right, and some... interesting Terrence Howard opinions. And the good news just keeps rolling in for Brandi: bloodwork confirming she's basically a 26-year-old lioness, Miley getting a Hollywood star, and a last-minute call to DJ the ACM Awards because the universe just works like that. Plus, Wells dives into your @yftpodcast DMs for more recommendations, Brandi shares why Lainey Wilson's Netflix documentary is worth the watch, and there's finally an update on Savannah Guthrie's mom.

Tariffs, tech competition, the Iran war and Taiwan top the agenda for the two superpowers. Trump, last visited in 2017. He returns to a stronger, more assertive China. Tens of thousands take to the streets of Buenos Aires to protest the economic policies of Argentina's President Javier Milei. And India hikes the tariff on imports of gold and silver from 6% to 15%.

This week, Matt and Jordan flip for the conch to discuss the BBC’s new four-part adaptation of The Lord of the Flies, now streaming on Netflix. The duo dives deep into Jack Thorne’s "cinematic" take on the classic novel, debating the effectiveness of its character-focused structure and its haunting visual palette. For Rec Seg!, they've got Flies-inspired recommendations that range from the whimsical to the harrowing, and in response to listener emails, a deep-cut horror recommendation and an experimental short (that may just scratch that jam-band itch). Plus, Matt faces his fears as Producer Sam takes over as "Dungeon Master" for this week's game, The Streaming Limited, testing the hosts’ knowledge of literary-inspired miniseries.

Chief TV critic Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter joins Nick for another deep dive into television. Dan reviews Peacock's new thriller M.I.A., Netflix's latest adaptation of Lord of the Flies, the new Martin Short documentary, and the series finale of Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback. He and Nick also catch up on Top Chef and break down the newest episodes of SNL. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to talk about British TV shows that inspired American remakes before diving back into pop culture moments from the 90s and 00s. They revisit trendy but terrible haircuts, massive car stereos, oversized jeans, and plenty more questionable choices from that era. [Ep 454]

LORD OF THE FLIES SERIES REVIEW Unless you've been living on a desert island, you've probably heard of William Golding's classic 1954 novel Lord of the Flies; you've probably even had to read it in school. The novel has been adapted multiple times for film, as well as for stage, radio, and at least one […]

Like the main character in his Booker Prize-winning novel 'Shuggie Bain,' writer Douglas Stuart grew up in Glasgow, working class, queer, and with a mother addicted to alcohol. His first career was in fashion, designing underwear for Calvin Klein. “Sometimes when I'm in an audience now and I feel a little nervous, I have a joke to myself and think, how many people in this audience have worn the underwear that you designed?” He spoke with Terry Gross about his new novel, ‘John of John.'Later, Richard Gadd, creator and star of the Netflix show ‘Baby Reindeer' talks with Tonya Mosley about his new series, ‘Half Man.' It's about two boys who become brothers when their mothers fall in love. They spend the next 30 years trying to survive each other.David Bianculli reviews the latest adaptation of ‘Lord of the Flies.'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

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we say goodbye to one of the most influential media figures of the Gen X era — Ted Turner. From WTBS after-school marathons and Atlanta Braves baseball to Cartoon Network, CNN, WCW, and the strange magic of shows starting at 5:05 and 7:35… we look back at how Turner quietly shaped the childhoods of an entire generation.Plus: thoughts on Widow's Bay, The Boys, and Lord of the Flies, Laura Dern joining The White Lotus, Jeff's scam alert after getting hit with a surprise $199 charge, Tim's awkward David Cross encounter, Trailer Trash, and a fresh round of Views or Snooze featuring M.I.A., Remarkably Bright Creatures, and the Roast of Kevin Hart.Also this week's Staff Picks include #SkyKing, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Eugene Mirman's comedy special, and Lizzie's dangerously creamy coconut Dr Pepper obsession.

You probably read the Lord of the Flies in high school — and now you can watch it on Netflix. It follows a bunch of British schoolboys who get stranded on a deserted island and descend into violent tribalism. Lord of the Flies is made by one of the creators of the Emmy-winning Adolescence, another grim meditation on youth and violence and masculinity.

The internet fired the first shot this week when a viral post claimed it's “unattractive” for grown men to play video games. Naturally, The Rizzuto Show treated this like a matter of national importance. Is gaming just another hobby like golf, fishing, or watching football all Sunday… or is there genuinely something suspicious about a fully grown adult with six monitors and a glowing gaming throne screaming into a headset at 2AM?The gang breaks down the entire debate, including whether hobbies should define attractiveness, why fish pictures on dating profiles are apparently controversial now, and whether GTA VI is about to destroy productivity across America. Rizz admits he's probably diving back into gaming when the new Grand Theft Auto drops, while Rafe unpacks childhood trauma from being forced to watch his dad dominate Sega Genesis speed runs. Honestly, therapy probably would've been cheaper.Then things take a hard left turn into celebrity chaos during Crap on Celebrities. Ted Turner's death sparks a conversation about one of the wildest résumés in media history — from founding CNN and TBS to owning wrestling companies, sports teams, bison herds, and apparently preparing an actual apocalypse broadcast tape for the end of the world. Because nothing says “media visionary” quite like having a backup hymn ready for nuclear annihilation.Elsewhere in this comedy podcast, Robert Downey Jr. takes shots at influencer culture, Matthew Lillard continues his unbelievable redemption arc after Quentin Tarantino accidentally rebooted his career by insulting him, and Hayden Panettiere's memoir rollout gets the full skeptical Rizz Show treatment. Plus: Moon reviews the new Lord of the Flies adaptation, the guys debate whether Sting is secretly becoming a billionaire cartoon villain by refusing to leave his kids inheritance money, and Zach Bryan somehow trends after yelling a sketch-comedy quote at a fan.There's also talk about Superman sequels, Hocus Pocus 3, The Bear ending after season five, weird Mother's Day songs, Mr. Beast's unsettling eye situation, and one of the most chaotic porno birthday segments in recent memory. So basically: a totally normal episode of your favorite daily podcast.If you love a daily podcast packed with sarcastic humor, weird news, entertainment gossip, celebrity fails, and the kind of conversations that make you question how this show stays on the air, you're in the right place.
