No new episode this week, but please enjoy this rerelease from a year ago, about a movie with a lot of connections to our last episode, The Iron Giant: October Sky was the 63rd-highest grossing movie of the year, just behind The 13th Warrior. Opening on February 19th with just shy of $6 million, it went on to gross $34.7 million worldwide on a $25 million budget. October Sky was adapted from the memoir Rocket Boys (an anagram of "October Sky") by NASA engineer Homer Hickman and directed by Joe Johnston, beautifully shot by journeyman cinematographer Fred Murphy with a score by Mark Isham it starred newcomer Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Lauren Dern, William Lee Scott, Chad Lindberg, Natalie Canderday, Chris Ellis, and in a really wonderful performance, American Pie's Sherminator himself, Chris Owen. A critical hit and modest commercial success, October Sky was largely forgotten by the time award season rolled around, and it is now a fondly if faintly remembered gem (as well as the breakout film for its young star!) This week, Julia and John welcome actor/writer Amanda Jane Stern from the podcast Don't Be Crazy to talk about her new film, Joe Johnston's aggressively earnest style, and boys and their rockets. Amanda is on Bluesky @amandajanestern.com
Movie Mike has Taylor Swift joining the podcast to break down her latest no. 1 song, 'I Knew It, I Knew You.' She talks about drawing inspiration from Jessie’s emotional arc, paying homage to the legendary Randy Newman, and what it’s really like in the studio during the writing process. Mike then shares the Top 10 movies of the summer for 2026. Plus the worst, biggest disappointments, future cult classics and more! In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Practical Magic 2 starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman who return as sisters Sally and Jillian. It follows their family 25 years after the original movie, as Sally's daughter tries to end the family's fatal love curse and uncovers dark secrets that force Sally and Jillian to step in. Mike talks about how it compares to the original, why it makes him sad about modern filmmaking and why it overstayed its welcome at over 2 hours long. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about M. Night Shyamalan and author Nicholas Sparks who have teamed up for a supernatural romantic thriller called "Remain". It stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe Dynevor…will it be great or a disaster. Mike thinks there is no in between! New Episodes Every Monday!

Don Saladino is a famous fitness expert, in part due to being the trainer for celebrities, such as Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Emily Blunt, Sebastian Stan, Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Hugh Jackman. I appreciate that he has to know his stuff when he's paid the big bucks to transform the physique of a celebrity for a film. He has to produce results. However, I also realize it's easy to discount the big celebrity transformation when they can devote as much time as needed to training, have a well paid nutritionist, and trainer like Don. But I also know he devotes a lot of time to mere mortals like us, and even better, he's maintained his own perfect physique for many years with the look that's landed him on the cover of Muscle & Fitness magazine and others. And he's also married with a couple kids and I've found him to be a grounded guy. What you will hear in this conversation is what you've probably expected all along. There are no real hacks or gimmicks to being fit. Fit and healthy, I'd say. Don is not doing anything crazy to be fit. He lives his life. He works out. He recovers. He eats clean. And at the end of the day he just wants to feel good and enjoy his life, as you and I do as well. So he talks about having a fit mindset and finding what is sustainable for you.

Programa variado en el que Juanma y Dani conversan sobre las últimas películas que han visto durante sus respectivas vacaciones de verano. En este nuevo episodio de Par en Par, emitido en esRadio, Juanma González y Dani Palacios regresan con su habitual frescura para repasar las producciones cinematográficas que han marcado sus vacaciones estivales. La charla comienza con un análisis de The Surfer, una película de intriga psicológica ambientada en Australia y protagonizada por el incombustible Nicolas Cage. Los presentadores coinciden en que, a pesar de ser una propuesta un tanto delirante y predecible a partir de la mitad de su metraje, la entrega física y el carisma del actor estadounidense aportan un valor añadido indiscutible a la cinta, salvando algunos de sus momentos más flojos. Posteriormente, el foco de atención se traslada al reciente trabajo del cineasta británico Guy Ritchie titulado In the Grey. Protagonizada por Henry Cavill y Jake Gyllenhaal, la película es objeto de un debate sobre el desgaste del estilo característico del director. Los críticos señalan que, aunque la tensión está bien administrada y resulta entretenida, la fórmula del director empieza a mostrar signos de fatiga. Aprovechando el análisis, recuerdan su anterior obra, The Covenant, y elogian la versatilidad de la Comunidad Valenciana como plató de rodaje, demostrando la pujanza del sector del cine en España al transformar paisajes alicantinos en la abrupta geografía afgana. La nostalgia de los años noventa llega de la mano de Prácticamente Magia, la recordada comedia de brujas protagonizada por Sandra Bullock y Nicole Kidman. Con motivo de los rumores sobre una posible secuela, los locutores rememoran los puntos fuertes de la película original dirigida por Griffin Dunne. A pesar de que en su estreno no gozó de un gran éxito comercial, destacan cómo el paso del tiempo la ha convertido en un título de culto gracias a la excelente química entre sus protagonistas y a una atmósfera que combina con acierto el drama familiar y la comedia fantástica. El cine de terror patrio tiene su espacio con El Nido, una producción de Filmax encabezada por Michelle Jenner. Dedicada a la memoria de Julio Fernández, la película destaca por su atmósfera opresiva y rural, que los presentadores comparan formalmente con cintas como The Witch. Aunque la trama transita por senderos predecibles dentro del subgénero del melodrama de terror, Juanma González valora positivamente su factura visual y el esfuerzo por construir una tensión latente, augurando un buen recorrido para la producción en el mercado de las plataformas digitales. En el ámbito del cine independiente, Dani Palacios destaca la grata sorpresa que ha supuesto Luger, una modesta película española dirigida por Bruno Martín. Con un reparto liderado por David Said, la historia se desarrolla por completo en un polígono industrial, adoptando una narrativa criminal deudora de los primeros trabajos del cine británico de gángsters. Los presentadores elogian la crudeza y autenticidad de sus diálogos, así como la capacidad de su director para retratar con fidelidad el ambiente de la periferia urbana española sin caer en la caricatura. Por otro lado, los locutores dedican grandes elogios a la producción argentina El Robo del Siglo (2020), protagonizada por los reconocidos actores Guillermo Francella y Diego Peretti. Basada en el famoso atraco real a una sucursal bancaria, la cinta es calificada como excelente por su equilibrio entre el suspense y el humor inteligente. Durante la conversación, se destaca el talento natural del cine argentino para dar vida a personajes memorables y para mantener un ritmo ágil que atrapa al espectador desde el primer minuto de metraje. Para concluir, se analiza El Drama, un proyecto amparado por la productora A24 con Zendaya y Robert Pattinson al frente del reparto. Tras debatir sobre el cinismo en las relaciones de pareja y las expectativas que genera esta producción, los críticos cierran el programa con sus habituales teorías cinematográficas. En esta ocasión, vinculan el diseño de producción de películas míticas como El Ansia o La Escalera de Jacob con el talento del director artístico Brian Morris, reivindicando la importancia de la estética visual por encima, en ocasiones, del propio guion.
Austin comedian and rising star, Xaria Coleman, joins Torie for the first of a three part series showcasing the some of the greatest gay love stories to hit the silver screen. To kick off this steamy triad, Torie and Xaria discuss Ang Lee's sweeping epic romance, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (2005). Starring the late Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway, this devastating portrait of clandestine love between two cowboys was a cultural juggernaut that early aughts audiences never saw coming. Released during the lingering homophobia of the post-Y2K era, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN was arguably the first guy-on-guy romance featuring explicit sex to hit mainstream media. Both groundbreaking and back-breakingly heartbreaking, Ennis and Jack walked so the other boys could run. ---- Xaria Coleman is a comedian from Austin Texas with 14 years of improv and sketch comedy experience.

Alan and Chris are back (finally, and a little behind schedule) with a review of The Sun Never Sets, the new film from writer-director Joe Swanberg starring Dakota Fanning, Jake Johnson, and Corey Michael Smith. Set against the Alaskan landscape, it follows a woman whose relationship with her older, divorced boyfriend hits a rough patch just as an old flame reappears in her life. The guys dig into the film, then flag a clearly marked spoiler section at the end if you'd rather wait. In the second half, three upcoming films get the trailer treatment. Artificial, Luca Guadagnino's OpenAI drama with Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman — dropped by Amazon, rescued by NEON, and arriving Christmas Day. Remain, the unlikely M. Night Shyamalan–Nicholas Sparks collaboration starring Jake Gyllenhaal, now repositioned from spooky October to Valentine's Day 2027. And You Can See Everything, the secretly shot, nearly three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary from Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder that surprise-premiered at Telluride — and whose cast list raises some very interesting questions. Chris closes with his recommendation of the week: Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere on Netflix. Plus a reminder that the Footcandle Film Festival runs September 18–27 in Western North Carolina.

Movie Mike ranks all 11 theatrical Spider-Man movies from Tobey Maguire's original trilogy and Andrew Garfield's two films to Tom Holland's MCU movies and the animated Spider-Verse films. Plus the messy Spider-man rights, controversy of who actually created the character, and how did Jake Gyllenhaal almost play Spider-Man before becoming Mysterio?! In the Movie Review, Mike talks about The End of Oak Street starring Anne Hathaway. It’s about a mysterious cosmic event that rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports a family’s neighborhood to someplace unknown. Mike talks about why it’s no Jurassic Park but that’s a good thing, Anne Hathaway’s great physical performance and why it caught him by surprise. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Primetime starring Robert Pattinson as former "To Catch a Predator" host Chris Hansen during the height of the show's success. Mike talks about the amazing run Robert Pattinson is having and wonders how some actors feel about being cast as the ‘predators’? New Episodes Every Monday!

JOIN US FOR WEEKLY BONUS EPISODES ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/swiftologist MANY years before All Too Well (10 Minute Version) broke the internet, Taylor Swift spent three months dating Jake Gyllenhaal...and upon reflection, we'd argue it's the single most important relationship of her career, creatively. We rebuild the 2010 timeline: the sudden PDA, the tabloid ambush, the age-gap commentary, and the decade it took for the fallout to turn into a ten-minute song. There are also many TERRIFYING paralels to another intense 3 month situationship...so, if you've ever wondered how a short-lived 2010 romance became the emotional backbone of an entire album, the bone collectors are here with every receipt.
Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay have a bad day turn to worse, and worse, and worse while discussing the criminally underrated actioner, 'Ambulance.' Bombay kicks off the episode by telling a story about meeting an excited Michael Bay at a party, and how his real-life enthusiasm bleeds through to his work. Then the boys dive in on one of the best films of the decade, an action movie that bares all the tension-building tropes of a classic thriller. They discuss how impressive it was to see Bay return to his roots and pull off incredible stunts with practical FX, and all on a relatively modest $40 million budget. For the film, the seasoned director brought his favorite co-star which was hundreds of drones. This technology appeared to allow Bay to fully achieve his vision of Bayhem. The movie's pacing is dialed up to an 11, and Jake Gyllenhaal delivers a wonderfully gonzo performance that is also cranked up. Eiza Gonzalez is given one of her meatier roles to date, and manages to go toe-to-toe with Gyllenhaal — whose run before this movie was one of the greatest ever seen by a modern actor. Besides the propulsive action all the trademark Bay touches are there including overstuffed amount of characters, and juvenile humor, but it all adds to the charm of this comparatively stripped-down installment in the Bay oeuvre.
This week on Second Helpings, MJ and Jackie thought they got through the hard story yesterday, but they're back with more CONTENT WARNING HEAVY CELEB NEWS as they dive into the Perez Hilton breakdown.

Then there's even more contact talk, "Nation's Dumbest" is back with a new episode and it's very clear Anthony Michael Hall is NOT "the brain" of this club, and Jackie brings up one of the best episodes from the new season of "King of the Hill!" Dylan Sprouse says he stopped smoking after sharing a final cigarette with David Lynch, Maggie Gyllenhaal has came out and said that she's always felt like she's in the shadow of Jake Gyllenhaal, and Tom and Zendaya did an adorable interview with puppies! Anya Taylor Joy steps up against method acting, MJ and Jackie both agree that "The Social Reckoning" looks like a Sorkin Slop fest, but thankfully we will soon be able to learn about "Ebenezer"...before he was Scrooge, plus even more on this week's Second Helpings!

Mostly Film – Take 242: Harrison Ford In Review — Episode 3The thinking man's thriller era. Jonathan and JP cover three films in three years — 1988, 1990, 1991 — all of them asking Ford to be quieter, more internal, and more uncomfortable than anyone expected from the man who played Han Solo and Indiana Jones.First, Frantic. Roman Polanski's Paris-set thriller — his comeback after the catastrophic failure of Pirates — with Ford as an American surgeon whose wife vanishes from their hotel room and whose attempts to get anyone in authority to care are met with total indifference. Ford suggested they rename it Moderately Disturbed. Polanski was not amused. Ennio Morricone scored it. Robert Towne rewrote parts of it uncredited. The studio cut 15 minutes and imposed a new ending that neither Ford nor Polanski wanted. It's now a cult classic, and the Hitchcock comparisons have stuck.Then Presumed Innocent — by far the biggest commercial hit of the three, $221 million worldwide on a $20 million budget, and the one where Ford plays a prosecutor on trial for the murder of his own mistress. Gordon Willis shot it. John Williams scored it with unusual restraint. Raúl Juliá walks away with it. And the 2024 Apple TV+ series with Jake Gyllenhaal remade it entirely — which version holds up?Then Regarding Henry. J.J. Abrams' first ever produced screenplay, written in his early twenties. Mike Nichols directing. Ford as a ruthless Manhattan lawyer who takes two bullets during a convenience store robbery and wakes up a different person. Bill Nunn doing some of the warmest supporting work in Ford's entire filmography. Critics gave it 47%. Audiences gave it 79%. One of those gaps that tells you something.All three films are about a professional man whose competence and authority get stripped away by forces he can't control. None of them let him punch his way out. After all three underperformed, Ford went back to Patriot Games and The Fugitive.The question for the episode: did these films close a door — or did Ford close it himself?
Nightcrawler is the darkest success story ever put on film. We break down why Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the greatest actors alive and how this might be the performance that proves it. We get into how Jake created his entire character from scratch including the hair bun, the weight loss, and the physicality without a single note from the director. We discuss the wild detail that Rene Russo never kisses Lou on screen because she is actually the director's wife in real life. And we talk about why that last line of the movie is one of the greatest final lines in cinema history and exactly why it works so well.Chapters:00:00 What a beautifully dark movie5:47 Jake is too good at being scary16:03 The complicated nature of Lou Bloom22:53 The craziest story from on set25:04 One of the best written psychopaths28:03 The real villain in this movie31:05 A horribly perfect success story33:50 Revealing the dark side of the news45:56 Top notch filmmaking examples55:49 The power of negotiation57:41 A great movie recommendation1:02:02 Lou Bloom will always find the best deal1:09:12 Movie ranking & final thoughts
That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
In this listener-requested episode, Nick looks back at one of the funniest recurring sketches in Saturday Night Live history, Bronx Beat, created and performed by Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler. The sketch follows two fast-talking, no-nonsense New York housewives who spend their cable access show complaining about their husbands, the weather, the guests, and just about everything else. Debuting in 2007, Bronx Beat became a fan favorite, returning a dozen times over the next 15 years. You’ll hear some of the funniest installments featuring guests like Jake Gyllenhaal, Brian Williams, Miles Teller, Tina Fey, Justin Timberlake, and Andy Samberg. Nick also shares behind-the-scenes stories, the real-life inspiration for the characters, and even an unaired Bronx Beat sketch with Betty White. It may not be cold outside, but for this episode, it’s definitely “Sweata Weatha.” [Ep 186]

You may have forgotten about Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride!, but back in March, we covered this Frankenstein goth romance starring Jessie Buckley as The Bride and Christian Bale as Frank. It's set in 1936 Chicago and is quite unhinged. It also features Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penelope Cruz. Maggie Gyllenhaal wrote and directed this film, in case you didn't know. The movie was a box office bomb and got mixed reviews. Mostly, we covered it in order to say goodbye to an old friend, which you will hear about in this special episode!
it was a very wacky month
Brian Anthony Moreland joins Chrystal Genesis to discuss what it means to produce theatre at the highest level. As Broadway's only Black lead producer, Brian has become one of the industry's most influential creative forces, bringing productions including The Piano Lesson, Othello and Joe Turner's Come and Gone to the stage. In this wide-ranging conversation, they discuss the producer's role, working with actors including Denzel Washington, Jake Gyllenhaal, Samuel L. Jackson, Taraji P.

Getting lean and looking jacked is possible, but it comes with real tradeoffs. In this Beast over Burden legacy episode, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson discuss what it really takes to build a lean, muscular physique, using Jake Gyllenhaal's Road House transformation as the hook. They explain why many lifters see a shredded actor or fighter and assume the answer is to cut weight immediately. But if you want to look lean and muscular, you usually need to build enough muscle first. That may mean a long hypertrophy phase, slow weight gain, hard training, consistent eating, and then a later fat-loss phase. Niki and Andrew also talk about the cost of getting extremely lean: hunger, lower energy, weaker training, worse sleep, strict nutrition, social tradeoffs, and the mental trap of comparing your normal body to a short-term peak. This episode is a realistic discussion of muscle gain, fat loss, body composition, and deciding what kind of body—and life—you actually want.

Director Guy Ritchie, when his movies don't star Madonna, tends to make his movies about crime and capers and calamity. His latest movie, “In The Grey”, is no different. This time, instead of an unintelligible Brad Pitt or that guy who played Iron Man playing Sherlock Holmes, we get Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal playing some action and adventure bad-asses named Sid and Bronco, respectively. Their job is to protect big money debt collector and fixer extraordinaire Rachel Wild, played by Eiza Gonzalez. She sells the capital management firm who loaned a billion dollars to a drug boss, who is now not paying the billion back, on her being able to get the drug boss to pay it back. Predictably the drug boss, as drug bosses tend to do, turns this debt collection into a dangerous game of automatic weapons, mines, drones with bombs and booby traps. Ritchie brings his usual well-choreographed action to this movie but is it worth going to the theater to find out what happens? Check out this episode of Movies Merica to find out! “In The Grey” also stars Carlos Bardem, Rosamund Pike, Fisher Stevens, Michael Vu, Mohammed Al Turki, Kojo Attah, James Wong, Kristofer Hivju, Darrell D'Silva, Emmett J.

It's a new round of Box Office Bozo and this time Chris and Luke need to name the tops movies from Jake Gyllenhaal.
IN THE GREY, Guy Ritchie's brand-new spy-action movie, just dropped—and Dan and Tom from SpyMovieNavigator are breaking it all down with zero spoilers. A covert team of elite extraction specialists is sent on a high-stakes mission to recover a stolen billion-dollar fortune from a ruthless tyrant. The question the hosts tackle first: is this actually a spy movie? And then they get to: Is it any good? The cast is stacked. Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill headline as operatives Bronco and Sid, joined by Eiza González, Rosamund Pike, Carlos Bardem, Fisher Stevens, and Jason Wong. Ed Wild handled cinematography, reuniting much of the team behind The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Dan and Tom walk through storytelling, pacing, action choreography, casting performances, and set design. They weigh the strengths against the weak spots—and there are a few of both. Ritchie claims the movie is based on a true story, which adds an intriguing layer to the mission's premise. If you love spy cinema—from Bond to Mission: Impossible—this no-spoilers first look gives you everything you need before you hit the theater. FIVE THINGS TO KNOW · Directed by Guy Ritchie — the creative force behind Operation Fortune, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. · Claimed to be based on a true story — Ritchie says the extraction mission depicted in the movie is rooted in real events. · A tight 97-minute runtime — the movie moves fast, using narration and on-screen graphics to pack the story into under two hours. · Carlos Bardem steals scenes as villain Manny Salazar — brother of Javier Bardem (Skyfall's Silva), he delivers a standout performance. · Not connected to The Gray Man series — despite the similar title, IN THE GREY (with an "E") is a completely separate movie and franchise. Tell us what you think: Is IN THE GREY a movie you'll go see? What do you think of our No Spoiler First Look. If you've seen the movie, did we get it right? Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.
