It is our favorite kind of episode, where Michelle gets to welcome back to the show her longtime college friend who just happens to be a beloved actress Julia Stiles. And we're not sure if it was the studio they were in or the residual margarita effects from a karaoke birthday party, but these two open up new avenues into their friendship this hour by doing what they rarely do: Discussing Julia's career while she wears a very festive jacket. It begins with a mistaken address identity involving wrestling fans, continues into an unpacking of the scrutiny and pressures of being a young actress in Hollywood turns mom, and in general sheds light on a subject most in Hollywood hesitate to unpack. We also discover that singing the Requiem at Karaoke has its ups and downs. Be sure to watch Juiia in her upcoming series Recap alongside the King of the Hot Balds Corey Stoll.

Britney Spears checked into rehab… and yes, that's the headline. But for anyone who's been paying attention, it's clear there's a lot more going on beneath the surface. Chalene Johnson takes a deeper look at everything surrounding it… the DUI, the conservatorship, her recent behavior, the people in her orbit, and the bigger names and systems that keep showing up in the background. And the deeper you go, the harder it becomes to ignore the patterns. What's actually known is separated from what's speculation, along with why some of these connections feel too consistent to dismiss. From Britney's history of control and finances to the larger conversation around power, money, and influence, this one gets uncomfortable. Chalene Gets Into: • What likely led up to Britney checking into treatment • Why rehab right now may not be as random as it seems • The real impact of the conservatorship and who benefited • The financial relationships that continue to raise questions • Why people are suddenly connecting Britney to bigger headlines • The patterns showing up around power, control, and influence in Hollywood • Why it's getting harder to separate truth from narrative This isn't about tearing anyone down. There's real empathy for Britney and what she's been through. But once you start connecting some of these dots… it's hard to ignore.

In this intense episode of Things Police See, host Steve Gould sits down with the "Homicide Hunter" himself, Lieutenant Joe Kenda. With a career spanning 23 years at the Colorado Springs Police Department and a staggering 92% solve rate over 387 murder cases, Kenda shares firsthand accounts of the cases that defined his career and the transition from the streets to stardom on Investigation Discovery. Joe dives deep into his early days as a patrolman in the 1970s, recounting his first "hot call" and the chilling reality of investigating nearly 400 murders. We discuss the psychological toll of the job, his take on PTSD, and why he finds storytelling to be his greatest form of therapy. Plus, Joe gives us a preview of his book, Killer Triggers, exploring the "why" behind violent crimes, including a shocking case involving dementia-induced psychosis. Whether you're a fan of Homicide Hunter, American Detective, or a law enforcement professional looking for veteran advice, this interview offers a raw, unfiltered look at the reality of police work and the "greatest show on earth."

In Part 2 of our conversation with Corey M. Eubanks, we pick up right where things left off—and it doesn't take long before things go completely sideways. Corey walks us through one of the most intense moments of his career during his time on The Dukes of Hazzard—a General Lee scene that was supposed to be controlled but turned into a full-speed collision that sent multiple stuntmen to the hospital. From there, the conversation dives into the realities of stunt work most people never see—operating on instinct with limited visibility, how communication breakdowns can change everything in an instant, and why fear is something to respect, not eliminate. After more than four decades in the business, Corey's perspective is clear: the difference between a great stunt and a dangerous one often comes down to experience, discipline, and knowing when to check your ego at the door. We also get into his modern-day Crash School, where he's teaching the next generation how to do what Hollywood never formally required—crash safely. In the second half of the episode, we shift gears into a full breakdown of the 2004 film Starsky & Hutch—a movie Corey himself worked on. That means this isn't just a review… it's a behind-the-scenes look at what really happened during filming, including a stunt that didn't exactly go as planned (and yes, it made the final cut). It's part interview, part movie review, and all the chaos you'd expect when real stunt stories collide with Hollywood storytelling. Buckle up. The post K&F Show #363: Special Edition Show! Legendary Dukes Stuntman Corey M. Eubanks' Wildest Stunt Stories – Part 2 first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.
If you've ever hit a goal and still heard the same old voice whisper “not enough,” you're not alone and you're not broken. We're joined by bestselling author and meditation teacher Lodro Rinzler to talk about a radically practical idea: basic goodness. Not as a slogan, but as a way to stop outsourcing self-worth to achievement, comparison, and constant optimization.We get honest about the Hollywood myth of meditation and why you don't need incense, a retreat, or two-hour sits for mindfulness to change your life. Lodro breaks meditation down into a simple skill: being present with what's happening right now without judgment, then returning when the mind wanders. We also trace where self-doubt starts, from subtle childhood messages to the societal pressure to always do more, and how those stories turn into anxiety, shame, and imposter syndrome.From there we go deeper: social media “success theater,” ego on both sides of the conversation, and why presence makes you better at relationships and business. We touch on meditation research and brain science, plus the difference between “something bad happened” and “you're bad,” especially when the world feels divided. The big takeaway is a shift from self-improvement to self-recognition: the moment we stop trying to become enough is the moment we start living.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review.

Comics don't just happen. Artists will them from nothing. As you'll hear from Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill in this week's podcast, comics arrive at your local comic book shop through tremendous persistence and imagination. The next time you cross your shop's threshold, possibly to grab a copy of Barajas and Merrill's Death to Pachuco, out now in trade paperback from Image Comics, take a moment to thank the makers. Each book on the rack is a tiny miracle. In Death to Pachuco, Barajas and Merrill tap into history, detailing the 1943 Sleepy Lagoon Murder Trial and the Zoot Suit Riots. It's a Chicano noir, heavily inspired by classic Hollywood tales, but springing from a perspective frequently silenced or ignored. Their private eye, Ricardo “Ricky” Tellez, fancies himself a Sherlock Holmes type, complete with a nearly debilitating drug addiction. He's caught in the racial tensions boiling over during wartime Los Angeles, hunting for a killer, while navigating a femme fatale. This week on the podcast, we chat with Barajas and Merrill about balancing fact and fiction, style and reality, and why humanity frequently allows fear steer its actions. We discuss the magnificent amount of will and persistence it took to materialize Death to Pachuco and how it feels to see it collected in trade paperback, finally. Death to Pachuco is written and lettered by Henry Barajas, illustrated by Rachel Merrill, and colored by Lee Loughridge. The book featured several variant covers from folks like Sarah Gordon (see episode art), Tula Lotay, Ben Passmore, David Lapham, and others. Make sure you're following Henry Barajas on BlueSky and Instagram, and Rachel Merrill on BlueSky and Instagram.

What makes someone a star nowadays? And why does every generation of humans crave to celebrate them?For decades, Hollywood has promoted a carefully curated ideal of aspirational talent, beauty, and intrigue. But in 2026, it feels like that power is in the hands of the one thing that alleges to know us best: the algorithm. Now computer programs hold more power in shaping who is famous and what we all are fed as aspirational ideals: from who is a star to what our bodies should look like. Enter the algorithm body.In this episode, host Brittany Luse is joined by Christiana Mbakwe Medina, screenwriter and host of the Pop Syllabus podcast. They get into the evolving nature of fame and why Christina thinks the thin body ideal is out and the sculpted body ideal is in.Want more about tech, beauty, and cultural cache?

This week Mea Culpa welcomes the legendary actor, comedian, director, and producer Henry Winkler. Best known for his iconic turn as “The Fonze” on Happy Days and more recently for his Emmy-nominated role on the hit comedy “Barry”, playing beloved acting teacher Gene Cousineau. And before that, he was a staple on “Arrested Development”, “Hank Zipzer” and Winkler even appeared as himself on “Bojack Horseman”. All told, Winkler's accolades include a Primetime Emmy, two Daytime Emmys, two Golden Globes, and a Critics Choice Award. Not bad. He's a Yale “School of Drama” Grad and his acting career spans 6 decades. He has performed in both dramatic and comedic roles, in film television, and on stage. Though one might say he is the quintessential character actor. He's done several pictures with his buddy Adam Sandler including, “Little Nicky” and “Don't Mess with the Zohan” and has continued to collaborate with his “Happy Day”s cohort, Ron Howard. Journalist Michael Schneider said recently, that "the rumors are true," Winkler is "one of the nicest, most genuine men in all of Hollywood.” Michael and Henry Winkler talk about their family life, their careers, and of course politics.
JD Vance says progress was made in discussions with Iran at the weekend and the ball is in Tehran's court. But he also accuses the Iranians of "economic terrorism" over the partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz. He was speaking hours after the US began enforcing its own naval blockade of Iranian ports. President Trump warned that any Iranian vessel that approached the blockade would be "immediately eliminated". He also said Iran couldn't be allowed to blackmail the rest of the world and extort money by imposing restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by calling the US blockade "piracy" and threatened retaliation. Also: After Mr Trump criticised Pope Leo, we look at the history of spats between popes and politicians; Colombia plans to cull its hippopotamus population; a BBC Eye investigation reveals life-threatening malpractice on a Pakistani hospital ward; Hollywood actors, directors and filmmakers oppose the Paramount-Warner Brothers Discovery merger; and Duolingo asks taxi drivers to assess the conduct of job applicants.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Two entertainment and media powerhouses are likely to become one. So why aren't the artists happy about it?Backlash against a possible merger between the media companies Paramount Skydance and Warner Brothers Discovery increased this week when more than 2,000 actors, writers and directors signed a letter opposing the deal. The letter warns that the merger will result in “fewer opportunities for creators, fewer jobs across the production ecosystem, higher costs, and less choice for audiences in the United States and around the world.” Damon Lindelof created "The Leftovers", "Watchmen" and helped create the hit series "Lost." He was one of the artists to sign the letter, and he explains his decision to NPR's Mary Louise Kelly.

Donny breaks down the biggest brand wins and losses of the week. First, a brand down for ICE after a survey reveals 60% of recent arrests in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area involved people with no criminal record. Then it's a brand up for San Francisco, where new leadership is proving that tough-but-humane policing actually works — with major crimes dropping across the board and prosecutions skyrocketing. Plus, the emperor penguin gets a brand down as it's officially declared endangered due to climate change. Donny also weighs in on Hollywood making cigarettes cool again (a hard brand down), Nutella's genius move after a surprise space cameo, the return of the original American Girl dolls, and the dangerous Benadryl challenge sweeping TikTok. He also breaks down Gen Z's most bankable movie stars, the USPS stamp price hike, the dying art of cursive writing, the WNBA's explosive expansion, and why women outperform 80% of FBI agents in investigative skills.

Over scallion pancakes stuffed with gooey cheese and bacon, Darren tells me about going viral for a Harry Potter parody in 2009, getting ‘Glee,' and how 'Maybe Happy Ending' almost didn't even make it on stage, which is hard to believe given its acclaim – the Broadway show and Darren both walking away with Tony awards.

E|179 Hollywood - Part Four: The Point of No Return In this episode, Carolyn Ossorio continues her deep dive into “Hollywood,” the elusive Seattle-based bank robber who captured headlines in the early 1990s — and somehow blurred the line between criminal and cultural myth. This time, the story takes an unexpected turn. Carolyn sits down with W. Peter Iliff, the writer behind Point Break — the iconic film that, for many, became the definitive portrayal of charismatic, thrill-seeking bank robbers. The question is unavoidable: Did Hollywood influence the myth… or did the myth influence Hollywood? As Iliff reflects on the origins of Point Break, the conversation reveals just how much real-world crime, media coverage, and public fascination feed into the stories we tell — and how those stories, in turn, reshape reality. Meanwhile, Carolyn continues to unravel the truth behind “Hollywood” — a figure who, despite never giving the money away, somehow earned comparisons to a modern-day Robin Hood. Perception vs. reality.Story vs. truth.Myth vs. man. And somewhere in the middle… a bank robber who understood exactly how to control the narrative.
Eddie Martin's We Were Once Kids In a continuation of last week's episode on Larry Clark and Harmony Korine's 1995 Kids, Mr. Chavez & I discovered a documentary peeling back the layers of that problematic and controversial film. Although we continue to believe that the earlier film is - in many ways - exceptional, Eddie Martin's 2021 expose (produced with Kids actor, Hamilton Harris), titled We Were Once Kids, reveals much of the troubling nature behind the making of the 1995 film. Alleged exploitation, real-life drug use, alcoholism, manipulation, and the age-old story of Hollywood's predatory nature are all explored in a film that focuses on the misunderstandings, naiveté, and sadness of a group of teenage non-actors that many would argue were taken advantage of in the creation of Kids. Questionable casting methods, alleged real-life drug use in the film, financial exploitation, betrayal and abandonment, and - finally - the death of two of the stars of the film - Justin Pierce (Casper) and Harold Hunter (Harold). A sad story, but also (another) cautionary tale on the dangers of Hollywood and the exploitation of children. The conversation includes our opinions on the events in front of and behind the camera, as well as our own impressions based on our own experiences in LA over twenty + years. An interesting conversation that we hope you find compelling. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Many, Many Thanks.

Actress Gina Gershon hadn't had what you'd call a traditional Hollywood career. So, it's no surprise that she's written a memoir with an in-your-face title. Alpha Pussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs. Gershon says the alpha pussy part has something to do with the fact that she raises male cats. As a result of her roles in films like Bound and Showgirls, Gershon has become something of a gay icon. The actress has also impersonated Melania in sketches that appeared on Funny or Die. Now, Gershon is writing screenplays. We talk about breasts, ageism and stupid Hollywood executives. "Now What?' is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation pro-homosexual "Corporate Equality Index" was down from 377 to 131 companies this year. What role did Trump's "bully pulpit" play — and is it affecting the bastions of humanism in Hollywood and the universities? Is it turning around the NFL's persecution of Christian players who won't bow to the idol of LGBTQ? When Persia, Greece, and Rome fell, the last step before the pit was homosexuality. Will America be any different?

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. Hollywood is not known for being friendly to Christianity in general or Catholicism in particular, especially nowadays; unfortunately, there is no shortage of storylines and characters that mock and even demonize believers. At the same time, however, whenever the film industry wishes to depict a "religious looking" scene or add a transcendent element to the plot, it frequently employs Catholic architecture, Catholic sacramentals, and even Catholic priests to do so. What should we make of this ambivalence to the faith? What does Hollywood get wrong, and what, perhaps to our surprise, does Hollywood get right about Catholicism and the priesthood? What do these portrayals tell us more broadly about potential openness within the entertainment industry to God's existence, the divinity of Christ, good and evil, and life after death? Here to take a look at some pivotal classic and contemporary films that prominently feature Catholicism and Catholic priests, with an eye to unpacking their significance for the wider entertainment culture, is Bishop Robert Barron.
