This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt sit down with Bradley Cooper and Will Arnett, director, co-writers, and stars of the new dramedy, Is This Thing On?, which takes inspiration from the real-life story of British comedian, John Bishop. It's an in-depth chat that we bring to you in full (although we did cut out a bit where someone poured a glass of water. Sorry to all you water completists out there), and it's well worth your time. It starts at 55:50 approx and runs until 1:20:14 approx. Either side of that, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Alex Godfrey for a fun episode in which they discuss the movie moments guaranteed to make them cry no matter how many times they've seen them; run their eyes over what passes for movie news (it was quite a slow week); review Is This Thing On?, action-comedy The Wrecking Crew, Jason Statham's Shelter, mad monkey movie Primate; and Richard Linklater's love letter to the French New Wave, Nouvelle Vague. Oh, and we make good on last week's promise, and bring you James, Helen, and Chris tackling their specialist subjects in a round that pays homage to classic BBC quiz show, Mastermind. It's pure chaos. Thanks to Magneto Magnetosson, for stepping in at short notice to host. Enjoy.

Guess what… The Chris Moyles Show podcast is back - and somehow, it's even sillier than ever! Palladium fever is VERY much in the air, we receive a letter from THE Alison of The Beautiful South (yes, who knew she was a Chris Moyles Show listener), and the long-awaited, much-discussed, slightly over-hyped WhatsApp Jingle FINALLY makes its grand debut. Dreams really do come true!Comedy legend and friend of the show, John Bishop joins the gang to chat about his brand-new feature film Is This Thing On? , which includes celebrity royalty... Bradley Cooper's dogs! And Chris obviously brings out his un-believable John Bishop impression (but we can't say John was best pleased about that…)Andi Peters joined us to play a quick game of 'Guess Where I Am In The World', but really, it was just an excuse to show off his sunny location and make us (and the listeners) painfully jealous. At least we've got our brand new Whatsapp jingle though!Meanwhile, we can see our pals over at Capital again, which naturally results in Chris snooping around the renovations and trying to challenge them to a football match. Reverse Words makes a triumphant return, and Chris Moyles Show history is made with what might be the longest feature ever from our new Executive Producer Aaron, he came up with a kazoo based game for us to play!And obviously, that's not it… Hott Property UpdateChris and Dom's friendship with Nothing But ThievesMore Stupid Amnesty!Enjoy!The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X!Weekdays 6:30am - 10am

New research will bring hope to the thousands of women in the UK living with secondary breast cancer. A simple blood test will be able to tell how well they will respond to treatment, even before it starts. This research could mean being moved to more efficient treatments earlier. Nuala McGovern hears from Dr Iseult Browne, one of the researchers on the study. The Grammy award-winning American R&B singer/songwriter and actress, Andra Day, made her acting debut with her portrayal of Billie Holiday in The United States vs. Billie Holiday. Her emotionally raw and transformative performance made her only the second black actress to win the Golden Globe for Best Actress. Her voice first reached a global audience with her anthem Rise Up which earned two Grammy nominations. She joins Nuala to talk about her latest role, as Christine, in the film - Is This Thing On?An employment tribunal ruled on Friday that the dignity of a group of female nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital was violated because they had to share single-sex changing rooms with a transgender colleague, who was born male but identifies as a woman.

Two movies. Two comedians. Two very big beers. This week on Beer and a Movie, Dave and Joe bring on comedian Uncle Sam to dig deep into comedy on film with Bradley Cooper's newest, Is This Thing On?, and Bob Fosse's 1974 Lenny Bruce biopic, Lenny—two very different looks at life onstage, offstage, and the price of being funny. One film captures the awkward grind and personal fallout of chasing laughs, while the other revisits the myth, brilliance, and self-destruction of a Mt. Rushmore comic who changed the rules by breaking all of them. On the beer side, things get dangerously boozy. The guys start with Martin House Brewing's Death by Chocolate Cake (a casual 12% ABV) before escalating to the heavyweight main event: Bourbon County Brand Stout 2025, clocking in at a staggering 14.6% ABV. It's a lot of beer, a lot of alcohol, and maybe not the best idea—but definitely the right one. High-proof stouts, iconic comedians, and two comics trying to keep it together long enough to finish the episode. What could possibly go wrong?

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of January 9, 2026. Our Big Movie this week is Gerard Butler & Morena Baccarin returning in the disaster-movie sequel "Greenland 2: Migration", a decent-but-not-great follow up to 2020's "Greenland". An excellent option in theaters is "Is This Thing On?," where Will Arnett copes with his marital estrangement by...doing stand-up comedy. But there's more to it than just that and Laura Dern is also excellent. The best option is (According to Andy) is Angel Studios’ "I Was A Stranger." It tells a powerful story of Syrian refugees that brought him to tears in one of those tough-to-watch-but-worth-it of films. For streaming fodder, Netflix has an adaptation of the romance novel "People We Meet on Vacation" that, while I have a few minor quibbles, was still relatively entertaining. The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics. Based in the beautiful Beehive State, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and Deseret News / KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Testing, testing…does anybody know? Is this thing on? It depends on who you ask, frankly. The Blank Check team are divided on Bradley Cooper's latest offering, the divorce dramedy Is This Thing On? Can you just walk in off the street to do an open mic at the Comedy Cellar? No. Is Peyton Manning one of our finest athlete actors? Yes. Is Griffin's opinion of this film possibly strained by his anxiety over the New York City mayoral election? Probably. Join us for an episode that we hope is funnier than Will Arnett's sad sack stand-up, but also probably not as brilliant as Bradley Cooper's performance as a guy named “Balls.” Read the Cybertruck article Listen to Cannes I Kick It Watch the Vic Mensa ft.

PLEASE SIGN UP ON PATREON, EVEN IF IT'S FOR FREE! Posting everything here has become a burden, and if you're only listening to this feed you probably aren't getting all of the episodes. Sign up now at Patreon. It’s two podcasts (Pod Yourself and the Frotcast) for the price of one! Patreon dot com slash frotcast! This is just a teaser, but you can hear the full episode by signing up on Patreon. This week, Matt is unhappily parenting, or maybe just looking for parking, in Sedona, Arizona, and Brendan is fixing an exploding pool pump, but that’s no reason to fret, because we’re ringing in the year with Sean Keane, from the Roundball Rock podcast and soon to be playing Cobb’s Comedy Club this January 7th in San Francisco. We’re discussing New Year’s Eve, and how it’s by far the most overrated holiday, but also mourning the death of a true poster, Mike Fossey, aka Mike F, by reading a few of his greatest posts. Then we mourn our dead The Wire actors, Ziggy and Clay Davis, and I tell the story of my one Isiah Whitlock Jr. encounter, which Matt rudely interrupts to call in from Sedona, Arizona while he’s in the middle of pooping. He tells us all about the crystal vortex and why he hates vacation parenting and thinks everyone in Sedona is actually on drugs. After that, we discuss Gwyneth Paltrow’s journey from actress to Goop CEO and back to actress again (Sean read a book!), and since it’s year-end list season, we review the one awards season film that Sean has seen, which happens to be Jay Kelly. Didja ever notice that Jay Kelly would’ve been much better if it had been about Adam Sandler’s character? Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? That leads into a bunch of related discussions, about American Beauty, Ben Affleck’s greatest roles and how well he lays pipe. And also Is This Thing On? and movies about stand-up comedy just generally. The regular Frot boys will be back next week, but in the meantime hope you like Sean and I just bullshitting about movies for a while. As always, no refunds.
