Chandler Levack is another of the current class of talented Candian ladies directing fresh, original cinema. Her latest is MILE END KICKS (starring Barbie Ferreira)…and, at the same moment, ROOMMATES, a Happy Madison film starring Sadie Sandler. And she memorably broke onto screen with festival darling I LIKE MOVIES. She joins Jordan to give us a fresh look at our show's most relatable multi-hyphenate, Greta Gerwig. Chandler tells stories inspired by the desire to revisit her own history, and the result (like FRANCES HA or LADYBIRD for Gerwig) is somehow universally relatable. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a little movie that could called Blind Cop 2 (read her feature about it from The Action Desk!) Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

Épisode 10 — « Ce qu'elles ne nous ont pas dit » Spéciale Fête des Mères — Dimanche 31 mai 2026 Aujourd'hui, Good Morning la Galaxie change de cap. Pas de bonnes nouvelles, pas de reportages. À la place, un épisode intime et culturel : six œuvres — films, chansons, et même un jeu de société — qui racontent ce que les mères ne nous ont jamais dit. SEGMENT 1 — Tully (Jason Reitman, 2018) La vérité sur l'épuisement maternel, sans filtre ni romantisme. Charlize Theron incarne une mère de trois enfants au bout du rouleau. SEGMENT 2 — Dear Mama (Tupac Shakur, 1995) La lettre que les fils n'écrivent pas. Tupac s'adresse à sa mère Afeni Shakur, ancienne Black Panther, et lui pardonne tout. Morceau inscrit au registre national de la Bibliothèque du Congrès américain. SEGMENT 3 — Lady Bird (Greta Gerwig, 2017) Une fille qui fuit sa mère et la cherche en même temps. Greta Gerwig a décrit ce film comme une lettre d'amour à sa propre mère. SEGMENT 4 — The Mother (Brandi Carlile, 2018) + In Heaven (Japanese Breakfast, 2016) Deux chansons, deux regards sur la maternité. Brandi Carlile chante depuis l'intérieur — ce que devenir mère lui a pris et donné. Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast) chante depuis l'absence — sa mère, décédée d'un cancer, et la question : le paradis existe-t-il ? Elle a aussi écrit le mémoire Crying in H Mart. SEGMENT 5 — Room (Lenny Abrahamson, 2015) Une mère kidnappée invente un monde entier dans dix mètres carrés pour protéger son fils. Brie Larson, Oscar de la meilleure actrice pour ce rôle. SEGMENT 6 — The Game of Life (Destins) Le jeu de société où, pendant des décennies, devenir mère n'était pas un choix mais un passage obligé. Les règles changent — comme la société. Musiques de l'épisode (Bandcamp) : Simeon Walker — Speak, Pt. 3 (feat. Josh Semans) https://simeonwalkermusic.bandcamp.com/track/speak-pt-3-feat-josh-semans Emily A.

Mostly Film is back with another packed episode of trailer chaos, movie talk, and industry insanity. This week in LIST IT or NIX IT, we're breaking down trailers for The Rivals of Amziah King, Resident Evil, Clayface, Coyote vs Acme, Jackass, Verity, and more to decide what's making the watchlist — and what's getting tossed immediately.In What We've Been Watching, Jonathan and J.P. talk survival thrillers, prestige dramas, and comfort TV as they dive into Apex, revisit Erin Brockovich, and check in on shows like The Boys, The Wire, Justified, Entourage, Maul, and Survivor.Then in The News, things get wild: a Westworld movie is officially happening, Battlefield sparks a studio bidding war, John Wick 5 gets an update, Netflix is planning its first major theatrical rollout with Greta Gerwig's Narnia, and somehow a Django/Zorro crossover movie is becoming real. Plus: Michael breaks records, Fast & Furious expands again, Letterboxd might be sold, and we react to the first look at Netflix's live-action Scooby-Doo.
Original Release Date: Monday 11 May 2026 Description: Welcome to Year 20 (“the year we get it right!”). On this, their overall 988th installment, Dean and Phil really put the “Hollywood” into “Chillpak Hollywood Hour” with showbiz news, analysis, previews and reviews. It starts with a discussion of the long-running series “Supernatural”. Then in the “Lawsuit of the Week” the supposed end of the It Ends With Us lawsuits gets discussed. The surprising details of the SAG-AFTRA deal with the AMPTP get analyzed and the fact that it (most likely) means no labor stoppage for the next four years gets celebrated. Some fascinating rules changes for next year's Oscars get dissected, and some seemingly terrific, but certainly intriguing, news regarding Greta Gerwig's “Narnia” movie for Netflix gets hailed. The Cannes film festival gets previewed. As does the American Cinematheque's Bleak Week festival. Finally, two current theatrical releases get hailed as modern masterworks and the plans for a new episode of “Deep Dive” get finalized.

On this week's episode, I'm rejoined by Scott Mendelson of The Outside Scoop to preview the summer movie season and address some of the hottest questions in the biz. Why did Netflix push Greta Gerwig's Narnia movie to next year and give it a full(ish) theatrical window? What's shaping up to be the biggest flop of the summer? Is box office health finally back on the upswing after some down years post-COVID and post-strikes? And what the heck is “Infinity Vision”? All that and more on this week's episode. Leave your most-anticipated film in the comments!
On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, our main topic is the surge of dark nostalgia invading our TVs these days: Wednesday, Riverdale, now Casper, and on and on. So much of what seemed like fun escapism of our youth is now being morphed into darker, edgier, grittier television that loses much of what we loved about them in the first place. Also this week: Greta Gerwig scores big with Narnia: The Magician's Nephew, reviews of The Sheep Detectives and Mortal Kombat II, and more! Discussed on this episode (0:00 – 12:24) Netflix toys with Narnia and wide releases, Lively vs Baldoni, Planet of the Apes moves on (12:25 – 38:08) From the Outside In: Dark TV Nostalgia (38:09 – 42:23) Review: The Sheep Detectives (42:24 – 48:54) Review: Mortal Kombat II (48:55 – 1:00:52) Whatcha Been Watching - The Devil Wears Prada 2, Man on Fire Please support The Hollywood Outsider and gain immediate access to bonus content, including Patreon exclusive podcast content like our Bad Movie Night by visiting Patreon.com/ TheHollywoodOutsider Be sure to join our Facebook Group Subscribe on Apple Subscribe on Spotify Subscribe via RSS

The Strait of Hormuz remains a major global flashpoint, with commercial ships stranded, oil traffic disrupted, and energy markets reacting sharply. The show breaks down why Hormuz matters, how much oil and LNG normally moves through the strait, why Asia is most directly exposed, and how Americans could still feel the pain through gas prices, groceries, flights, shipping, and inflation. The political block digs into rising instability around the Trump administration, including Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon purges, Trump's poor approval numbers, and how those numbers could affect the midterms. The show also covers the gerrymandering fight, with Democrats and Republicans battling over House maps as the midterm cycle heats up. The Supreme Court temporarily restored broader access to mifepristone while it reviews a lower-court ruling, keeping telehealth, mail delivery, and pharmacy access in place for now. The segment explains why the case matters beyond abortion, especially if courts gain more power to override long-standing FDA decisions. A luxury expedition cruise ship became an international public health concern after a suspected hantavirus outbreak killed three passengers and sickened others. The episode looks at why health officials blocked the ship from docking, how rare and serious hantavirus can be, and why cruise ships become complicated fast when illness spreads onboard. In entertainment, the show covers the Met Gala's “Fashion is Art” theme, The Devil Wears Prada's big box-office debut, Britney Spears avoiding jail time after a plea deal, House of the Dragon Season 3's release date, Netflix giving Greta Gerwig's Narnia a theatrical release, and Pras Michel's conviction in a federal political influence and money laundering case. The guest segment features CJ Ramone, who joins to talk about CJ SAYS: A RAMONES PODCAST. The conversation touches on joining the Ramones after Dee Dee, bringing new energy to the band, what punk history still gets wrong, the discipline behind the Ramones' sound, and what responsibility means after a life built around rebellion.

The Academy just killed a rule that's been in place since 1931 — and Sandra Hüller might be the first actor in nearly a century to benefit. We get into all three big Oscar rule changes for the 99th Academy Awards: the double-nomination rule, the new path to International Feature, and the AI ban. Plus the quiet Best Original Song tweak that might actually matter most.Then we look at what's already sticky for next year — Project Hail Mary (and why Ryan Gosling's Adam Sandler era needs to end), Michael, Devil Wears Prada 2 — and the early frame of the Best Actor race shaping up around Tom Cruise's Digger and Matt Damon's Odyssey.Greta Gerwig's Narnia just got pushed to 2027. So what's Netflix backing now?
Plus - GameStop has announced it has made a $55.5 billion offer to buy eBay; Netflix is officially bringing Barbie director Greta Gerwig back to theaters with a release date change that will see her Narnia: The Magician's Nephew movie getting a wide theatrical release in early 2027.

Send us Fan MailOur 2026 Classics Series is coming to a close with today's very special episode covering not only the 1868 novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, but also the 1994 and 2019 film adaptations. We deep dive, rate and review, and rank them all. Was the book our favorite this time around? Or did Christian Bale's hair or Greta Gerwig's feminist-leaning script steal our hearts? This episode is our response to the many things that so many female authors across centuries have been using literature to say. Women's lives are important when examining the simple mundanity of their day to day experiences, as well as their extraordinary contributions and achievements. Not just because we are people, but because to exist in society as a woman is to understand that our personal lives are never separate from politics, religion, gender constructs, economics and all the other systemic influences that determine one's position. All three iterations of this amazing story hold such important lessons and criticisms, not unlike the other two novels we previously covered: Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. We hope that you enjoyed our reading guides as well as our deep dive coverage into these classic novels because we plan to cover more next year!ANNNND… Stick around till' the end for some fun Little Women lore and our very first announcement of what HIGHLY REQUESTED and POPULAR dystopian science fiction series we'll be covering this summer, beginning in July!

On this episode of The Run-Through, Chloe invites Virginia Smith (Vogue's Director of Global Fashion Network) to breakdown how this historic cover came to be and what goes behind making a top secret cover happen. You'll also hear snippets from Greta Gerwig's cover conversation with the two women where they discuss aging, grandmotherhood, and what part of each other's job they would dread the most!Earlier in the episode, Rachel Comey speaks to Nicole Phelps about her unconventional origin story, how she funded her early production, and the upcoming opening of her Christopher Street store. She also discusses about how she managed to stay independent and find her own audience, which has come to include writers, directors, and artists like Zadie Smith and Miranda July. On her design process, Comey says, “I really think about design as a service to the client and making sure that they're feeling the things they want to feel in the rooms that they want to go into.”As fashion increasingly catches up to the inclusive casting Comey has long practiced, she plans to keep doing things her own way.The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

¿López Aliaga, Nieto o Keiko? ¿Carlos Álvarez o Roberto Sánchez? ¿Qué tan bien (o mal) lo hicieron los candidatos en el debate? ¿Tiene sentido la campaña en segunda vuelta antes de saber quién llega? ¿Pixar sigue dando cátedra con Hoppers o ya perdió el toque? ¿La nueva serie de Harry Potter merecía nacer? ¿Y qué tiene Greta Gerwig preparado para Narnia? Tal vez Fleabag siga siendo imbatible o Sex and the City es un producto de otro tiempo. Quizás encontremos la respuesta a estas y otras preguntas en el programa de hoy, donde Jonathan, Jakeline y Diego conversan sobre nada en particular, es decir, full Langoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Greta Gerwig's writing and acting in the titular role go a long way to make us like our second Noah Baumbach film much more than our first. While Kicking and Screaming (Spine 329) was a little too Whit Stillman for us - and over half the podcast ago - we found 2012's Frances Ha much more relatable and entertaining. It also helps that our friend Casey B. dropped everything to talk with us about a movie she loves.
We had some fun rewriting Oscar history and deciding who would have been nominated and who would have won the Best Director Academy Award from 2011-present if only women were eligible. Nominees/winners Kathryn Bigelow, Greta Gerwig, Chloe Zhao, Emerald Fennell, Sophia Coppola, and Jane Campion aren't the only ladies getting the spotlight here. We look at the movies of Emma Seligman, Scarlet Johan, Scarlett Johansson, Lulu Wang, Ava DuVernay, and many more.Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler0:00 Introduction, 3:00 2011, 6:33 2012, 9:35 2013, 12:03 2014, 14:56 2015, 17:27 2016, 19:23 2017, 22:30 2018, 25:37 2019, 29:34 2020, 34:12 2021, 37:50 2022, 40:13 2023, 43:22 2024, 47:09 2025#barbie #zerodarkthirty #powerofthedog
Today's guest is Ruthie Rogers, the legendary chef and restaurateur behind The River Cafe in London, and she joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her latest book, “Table 4 at The River Cafe.” Inspired by her popular podcast, “Ruthie's Table 4,” the book features conversations with the likes of Nigella Lawson, Tina Fey, Greta Gerwig, Alice Waters, Tracey Emin, and dozens of other forces from the worlds of art, music, film, and food. Ruthie shares the story of how The River Cafe began as a humble sandwich shop and evolved into a global culinary institution, the lessons she's learned from nearly 40 years of running a restaurant, and why curiosity and kindness matter when hiring and mentoring the next generation of cooks. She also reflects on the power of food memories, what she's discovered after more than 200 podcast interviews, and why so many people talk about their grandmothers when discussing the meals that shaped them. Plus, Ruthie reveals her comfort food (spoiler: it involves tomatoes, pasta, and butter), the River Cafe dishes that will never leave the menu, and the food world hero she'd want with her on a desert island.

Our exit today has us crashing the wedding of our new crush. This week, we are talking about The Sweetest Thing, written by Nancy Pimental and directed by Roger Kumble.A lot of our focus is on whether this early female-raunch comedy really works, and we can't help but talk about a lot of later examples. But we also talk Cameron Diaz, tonsils, Christina Applegate, San Francisco, Greta Gerwig, background gags, montages, Ben Affleck, men behaving badly, and some questionable reviews.NSFW Deleted SceneThememusic by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM.CFF Films with Ross and friends.Movies We've Covered on the Show on Letterboxd.Movies Recommended on the Show on Letterboxd.
Happy 2026, Vintage Sand fans! Thank you for taking time away from looking for real estate opportunities in Greenland to join us for Episodes 65 and 66, our first of 2026. Herein, Team Vintage Sand returns one last time to the source of some of our most popular episodes: Danny Peary's hard-to-find 1993 classic "Alternate Oscars". In the past, we have used Peary's model to approach the Best Picture Academy Awards from every decade going back to the 1930's. Collect them all! For this episode, we wrap up this series with the most recent complete decade, the 2010's. First, a caveat: we began this podcast eight years ago, in the spring of 2018, which means that we have already discussed many of today's films in a number of different contexts already. We did our Best of the Teens in early 2020, and recently did our Top 10 of the Century so far, wherein many of the films we're talking about today are contained. Add in that we did episodes on the best of 2018 and 2019, respectively, in those years, and you get the sense that we have already covered this ground several times. But like all good film fans, we're completists, so we conclude this series of episodes with these two, which will focus on 2010 to 2014 and 2015 to 2019 respectively. Mercifully, perhaps, these episodes are shorter than most others we've done, simply because, as mentioned, this is terrain we have covered several times already. The teens were clearly a transitional time for film, especially in Hollywood. The foreign market came to dominate, as did the teen market, which led to a kind of lowest common denominator for American film in these years. Throw in the uncertainties created by the rise of streaming and the changes in where and how people watch film, and you have…well, it's still a little too early to tell what the 2010's will look like to film historians, if there are indeed any film historians left. That being said, it's clear that the decade featured some of the greatest films ever made, ones that will stand the test of time and will continue to be watched long into the future. In many ways, the Mexican New Wavers dominated the decade, winning half of the Best Director Oscars for the whole decade: Del Toro for "Shape of Water", Cuarón for "Gravity" and "Roma", and Iñárritu for "Birdman" and "The Revenant". And of course, the stunning triumph of "Parasite" ended a decade in film that many were ready to write off (and got rid of the bad taste left behind by "Green Book" the previous year). It was also a decade that saw the arrival of some wildly innovative and talented filmmakers, among them Chloe Zhao, Ryan Coogler, Ava Duvernay, Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, Steve McQueen, and Damien Chazelle, plus amazing directors who transcended often marginalized genres like Ari Aster, Alex Garland, Robert Eggers and Denis Villeneuve. We also saw some great works from directors who came of age in the 90's and early 00's like David Fincher, the Coens, Spike Lee, Christopher Nolan, Todd Haynes and the Andersons, both Wes and PTA divisions. And for the icing on the cake, we got some brilliant work from the old guard Hollywood New Wavers like Martin Scorsese (who just seemed to pick up steam as the decade went on), Steven Spielberg, (at least with "Lincoln"), Terrence Malick and, most surprisingly, Paul Schrader. So make yourselves comfortable, have yourselves one of those lovely pastries from Mendl's, and join us for our final foray into the world of Best Picture Alternate Oscars!

This doesn't bode well for Greta Gerwig's Narnia movie. According to the movie's editor, they're basically just ignoring the book and doing their own thing. What could possibly go wrong?

“I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it."The best way to spend the holidays is curled up next to a warm fire and waxing poetic about the March sisters and LITTLE WOMEN. This year, The Wives Colangelo are dissecting Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel, and debating the parallel storytelling device. And not to pit strong LITTLE WOMEN against each other, but they're also going to compare and contrast this version with the sacred 1994 film covered in 2023.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTRainbow Railroad (https://www.rainbowrailroad.org)--------Social Media Plugs@ThisEndsAtProm@BJColangelo@HarmonyColangelo----------Logo Design: Haley Doodles @HaleyDoodleDoTheme Song: The Sonder Bombs 'Title': https://thesonderbombs.bandcamp.com/
The writer/director best known for dramedies like 'The Squid and the Whale,' 'Frances Ha' and 'Marriage Story' reflects on the people and films that shaped him, the evolution of his collaboration with Greta Gerwig spanning 'Greenberg' through 'Barbie,' and his new Netflix film, which centers on a movie star (George Clooney) in the midst of an existential crisis.

The filmmaker Noah Baumbach can recall when he may have fallen out of love with his craft. He was shooting “White Noise,” based on Don DeLillo's novel, “on a deserted highway in Ohio at 4 A.M. with a rain machine.” “Oh, God, I don't know that I like doing this,” he recalls thinking. “Am I doing this”—making movies—“only because I do it?” He channelled that angst into his new film “Jay Kelly,” a Hollywood comedy of manners starring George Clooney as a very famous movie star who suddenly wonders whether it was all worth it, and why people keep offering him cheesecake. In October, Baumbach spoke with The New Yorker's articles editor, Susan Morrison, at The New Yorker Festival about working with his wife, Greta Gerwig, on “Barbie,” and why the first lines of his movies can tell you everything. New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.
