Podcast appearances and mentions of Jane Fonda

Rest In Peace to the legendary Dolly Parton. (1946 to 1986)In honor of he recent tragic passing, what better way to remember her than to review this '80's comedy classic, which was also her big screen debut.  Directed by Collin Higgins (Foul Play, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas), this is a frenetic tale of sexism, office politics, suspected murder, and REVENGE.  It focuses on three beleaguered co-workers at a fictional conglomerate named Judy (Oscar-winner Jane Fonda), Violet (Emmy-winner Lily Tomlin), and Doralee (Grammy-winner Dolly Parton)....and their despicable boss Frank played by late, great Emmy-winner Dabney Coleman (Tootsie, Wargames).  Frank has taken things way too far with his behavior as he has mistreated them all terribly, then an accident occurs, and then hilarity ensues!  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY: BONUS EP.3 – FAYE'S CONTEMPORARIES On this third bonus episode of Hollywood Royalty, we take a small break from talking Faye to shine a light on a handful of her contemporaries, including Ellen Burstyn, Jane Fonda, Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Liza Minnelli, and Barbra Streisand, all of whom ruled the decade as some […]

What makes an activist? What propels someone to get off the sidelines and get involved?For decades, 88-year-old actress and activist Jane Fonda has been either a guiding light or a lightning rod, depending on your views.A new book, written by an Ohio University professor, examines Jane Fonda's life through the lens of protest and movement-building, acting choices and, yes, the volatile Vietnam years.Marilyn S.

There are certain moments when you realize the world you knew is gone forever. Your childhood home gets cleaned out. The cars you remember disappear. Your favorite mascot gets replaced. And, most devastating of all, 7UP decides it needs to become more lime-forward.We know. Take all the time you need.Episode 83 starts with some actual show business as the crew talks about trying to land a role — or at least get their faces somewhere in the background — in Sheriff Justice: The Series. There's also some movie talk surrounding Scott's short-film adventures before we arrive at the cultural earthquake nobody was prepared for: 7UP is changing its recipe.For the first time in 15 years, the lemon-lime soda is going lime-lemon.That announcement sends this comedy podcast directly into nostalgia mode as Rafe and Moon remember the glory days of 7UP's Uncola marketing, old-school glasses and, most importantly, Cool Spot. Remember Cool Spot? The red dot with sunglasses, sneakers and enough '90s attitude to somehow get his own Sega Genesis game? THAT was branding. Naturally, the conversation becomes a referendum on every mascot decision 7UP has made since, including poor Fido Dido catching strays decades after the fact.The trip down memory lane keeps rolling when the crew talks about cars disappearing from the market, including the Ford Escape, Jaguar F-Pace, Toyota GR Supra and Tesla Model S. That somehow brings Smart cars back into the conversation, which reminds everybody of that brief period when society tried to convince us driving something the size of a roller skate was the future.Then we Crap on Celebrities.Matthew McConaughey tells a story about using his Wedding Planner connection to Jennifer Lopez to help get himself out of a sticky traffic-stop situation in Mexico. Which raises an important question: if Matthew McConaughey still has to name-drop somebody else, what hope do the rest of us have?There's Barbie sequel drama involving Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Greta Gerwig and some potentially enormous paydays. Kelly Ripa talks about needing gum-graft surgery. Selena Gomez and her Wondermind company face allegations in a lawsuit. Spider-Man is putting up gigantic box-office numbers, and the crew dives into a list of movies people online have branded some of the most boring films of the century.Then Anne Hathaway floats the idea that movies where dogs die should automatically get an R rating.Honestly, Old Yeller has been emotionally mugging children for generations, so at least somebody finally opened the investigation.We also get into the return of Ted Lasso, Axl Rose dealing with jaw problems while performing, and Lionel Richie cracking a joke about Usher and Chris Brown that predictably becomes an online debate. Because nothing said into a microphone is allowed to simply be a joke anymore. It must immediately become a panel discussion involving 40,000 strangers.But the centerpiece of the celebrity chaos is a game that deserves its own home edition: Good Tipper or Bad Tipper?The crew works through anecdotal stories involving John Cena, Chuck Norris, David Lee Roth, Dave Chappelle, Scottie Pippen, Shaq, Maria Shriver, 50 Cent, Stanley Tucci, Post Malone, Miley Cyrus, Bruce Willis, Elvis Presley, Jay-Z, Tina Fey, Jennifer Lopez, Kevin Hart, Jane Fonda and Jack Black.Some allegedly tipped huge. Some allegedly tipped terribly. Some stories immediately make the crew question humanity. And Scottie Pippen inspires a nickname so painfully obvious that humanity should be ashamed it took this long: No Tippin' Pippen.Again, these are anecdotes discussed during the show, not our personal surveillance operation into celebrities paying restaurant checks. We barely have enough resources to monitor our own lunch orders.The episode wraps with celebrity birthdays, Steve Martin age guesses, Reginald VelJohnson's incredible history of playing cops and the usual collection of references that make this comedy podcast feel less like a structured entertainment program and more like being trapped at a table with friends who remember every useless cultural detail except why they originally started talking.So pour yourself a 7UP — lemon-lime or the terrifying new lime-lemon variety — tip your server, fire up the Sega Genesis and enjoy another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Cool Spot, wherever you are: we remember you.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hollywood is not trying to stop a monopoly by blocking the Paramount Skydance merger with Warner Bros. It's trying to protect one.If a monopoly means near-complete control over what gets made, promoted, and rewarded, then much of Hollywood and the cultural institutions around it operate under the ideological consensus of the Left and the Democratic Party. Why do the Obamas have a long-running production deal at Netflix? Why do the Emmys consistently elevate late-night hosts whose politics align with that consensus? Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart? Do you think they'd ever nominate Greg Gutfeld, whose show often tops them all in ratings? If that isn't an ideological monopoly, I don't know what is. Why did major awards shows stay silent on Charlie Kirk? Why did so many artists cancel Kennedy Center appearances after its Trump-era changes, and why did multiple acts drop out of America 250 events?David Ellison and Paramount Skydance are attempting something brave and unprecedented: an outside challenge to that consensus. Their roughly $110 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery would give them control of a major studio, HBO/Max, CNN, and a large portfolio of cable and streaming assets. While there has been some resistance to the biggest mergers in recent history, we've never seen anything like #blockthemerger. Meet the new resistance, same as the old resistance. 12 state attorneys general, including California, have sued to block the deal. The Writers Guild of America has filed its own antitrust lawsuit. SAG-AFTRA has publicly opposed the merger, though it has not joined the litigation. Opposition also includes the Future Film Coalition (which leads the #BlockTheMerger campaign), Democracy Defenders Fund, Committee for the First Amendment, Free Press, the International Documentary Association, and the American Economic Liberties Project, among others. More than 5,600 industry figures have signed an open letter against the deal, including Mark Ruffalo, Jane Fonda, Javier Bardem, Elliot Page, Emma Thompson, Ben Stiller, and Cynthia Nixon.Paramount Skydance has, for now, delayed closing. Can they hold the line under this unprecedented pressure campaign? Hope springs eternal. But you won't read about that point of view in any of the trades. They're a monopoly, too. Most of them are owned by the same entity, Penske Eldridge. Just today, it was announced that the Hollywood Foreign Press, the former owners of the Golden Globes, are suing Jay Penske for $150 million. They are claiming Penske orchestrated their downfall so he could buy the Golden Globes. Jay Penske already owns Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Indiewire, Gold Derby predicting site, Rolling Stone, a virtual monopoly on the awards race from soup to nuts. Gold Derby shapes the nominees, the trades take ads from the studios and the Golden Globes hand out the awards. But wouldn't you know, when Rebecca Keegan wrote a hit piece on me, she did so in the Hollywood Reporter, owned by Penske Eldridge. I was a vocal and prominent critic of Penske's growing monopolistic power on the awards race and one of the few willing to speak out. With one hit piece, the Penske company took out both a competitor for ad money and a pesky nuisance for the brand. That is what you call a monopoly. A Climate of Fear and A Culture of SilenceI found out firsthand how monopolies work in Hollywood when I was canceled in 2024. The day a Hollywood Reporter story labeled me a “MAGA darling,” one studio pulled its ads from my site that day. The last thing they wanted was to be associated with an accused and condemned witch.It was shocking how many of them fell in line in robotic fashion, gripped with fear. The response was swift and uniform. Every writer on my site left to protect their reputations. Friends of fifteen years ended the friendship. My Oscars ticket was revoked. Jane Fonda's Women's Media Center fired me from their annual Oscars report. Screening and party invitations dried up. I was benched on Gold Derby.Worst of all, the lucrative studio ad buys for the Oscars and Emmys vanished. As it all collapsed, I remembered in 2012, an advertising strategist telling me I could be making far more money if I sold the site better. “You have no baggage to speak of,” she'd said.That was true then. I was one of the few independent Oscar sites left, and still am, known around town for being honest to a fault. I stayed independent even as the ad money made life more comfortable for me and my daughter than it had ever been.There was never any question why my career ended in Hollywood: I had been outed as a Trump voter. I was on the wrong side of Hollywood's progressive orthodoxy, and that meant I was finished.How it started…I started Oscarwatch.com as a single mom with a one-year-old baby living in a studio guest house in Van Nuys, California, in 1999. I was an early web pioneer with a 1200-baud modem and a really good idea. I was already catching the attention of publicists and rocking the boat, as all of us amateurs did back then. We were moving fast and breaking things. Traditional media was not ready. The studios weren't either. They were used to having a monopoly on Oscar FYC ads in Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, their bread and butter. Until the blogs came along.By 2006, I was starting to make money because my little site had birthed a big bang of other Oscar sites, and by then even the New York Times had an Oscar blogger, the late great David Carr, who called himself the Carpetbagger.David Carr became a mentor of sorts and encouraged me to sell ads for myself, rather than piggyback off bigger sites. I was working three jobs by then: as a horoscope writer under a pseudonym (Laura Wilde), a janitor working my dad's routes because he was a good guy and knew I needed the money, and a freelance film critic.Right around then, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sued me for trademark infringement, and my site was renamed AwardsDaily.com. Now I was cleared to start making real money.David Carr was horrified that I was working as a janitor while the trades were raking in millions on Oscar ads and encouraged me to start sending out RFPs. But I didn't have to, because before long the studios were sending them to me. My site became so influential that I never really had to pitch to them. They all wanted real estate on my site. Who could ever have imagined that? Certainly not me, someone who got online in 1994 back when no one thought you could make money on the internet.One of the first studios that bought ads was Fox Searchlight, an awards subsidiary of Fox. I called it Big Fox and Little Fox, and both advertised on my site. When I got my first $15,000 just to run ads, I was stunned. That was more money than I had ever seen on a check. I was just kind of faking it, pretending I knew what I was doing, but I really didn't.Of course, it was also about promoting films the studio wanted to place in the Oscar race, and that's still what it's about. It's not exactly pay-to-play, but most of the bloggers making money in the Oscar game are grateful and help keep the advertisers' movies prominent. I did too.I barely noticed in 2019 when Disney bought Fox for $71 billion. The Writers Guild objected to the merger, just as they have to the Paramount Skydance merger with Warner Bros., but there was nowhere near the same amount of public outcry.Trump praised the Disney/Fox merger after having attempted to stop the 2018 merger of AT&T and Time Warner, leading to a trial, but the judge ruled against the Trump administration, and the deal went through. Again, no major public outcry.At some point after 2020, I'd noticed that Disney had stopped advertising on my site. I wrote it off as their shying away from my comments on “gender affirming care” for kids. I'll never know exactly why, but all I do know is that once the merger went through, Fox and Fox Searchlight also stopped advertising. The Paramount/Skydance merger with Warner Bros. is significantly higher and covers more territory than any of the major corporate mergers we've seen as Hollywood reshuffles the deck amid the shift to streaming. Warner Bros. was selling. The only question was whether Netflix or Paramount Skydance would buy it. Both deals would have had the blessing of the Trump administration.But because it's David Ellison and the team that bought CBS, and because Trump is an ally, the Democrats and the Left have turned #BlockTheMerger into another No Kings protest or battle for the “resistance.”After the story about me broke in the Hollywood Reporter, Netflix also stopped advertising. No other studio except Focus Features, an adjunct of Universal, had the courage to run ads on my site. I was now officially blacklisted. Emails to the various studio reps went unanswered.This past year, Paramount bought a modest ad package on my site for the Emmys to celebrate the success of Landman and The Madison. I felt lucky to get it, and it was a sign, at least to me, that Paramount, like Focus Features, was brave enough to take a chance on someone deemed too toxic by the industry.Landman, Taylor Sheridan's Billy Bob Thornton drama, had become one of Paramount+'s biggest hits: its first season averaged 15.8 million viewers in Nielsen's cross-platform ratings and ranked among the top 10 series of the 2024-25 season. Season 2 opened to a Paramount+ record 9.2 million views in its first few days and continued to dominate the streaming charts, at one point leading all multiplatform viewing with more than 14 million. The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, launched as Sheridan's biggest series debut yet, drawing 8 million views in its first 10 days.But unfortunately, #blockthemerger had bled into the awards ecosystem, which remains a closed loop. Sure enough, when the Emmy nominations arrived, the Paramount shows were completely blanked—even Billy Bob Thornton in Landman and Michelle Pfeiffer in The Madison. Kathy Bates was similarly overlooked for Matlock.If Gold Derby shapes the Emmy nominations, and they do, they have to similarly play ball by blacklisting all Paramount Plus's most popular shows, proving to American audiences that the industry does not care about what they want or what they watch. Sheridan has transformed much of the television landscape, thanks to Paramount Plus. If Paramount buys Warner Bros., they won't be creating a monopoly but breaking one up. The Death RattleI know I should walk away from this industry and give up the site that took me 26 years to build. But I just can't do that. I can't let them win. Now that I've walked in the shoes of the other half of the country, I can clearly see why Hollywood's empire is collapsing. If ratings and box office don't matter, neither do audiences. None of this is about artistic freedom or making better movies or television shows. This is the Left flexing its muscle in an attempt to keep all of Hollywood to itself, to push its ideology on the people, to convert them, to indoctrinate them, to “correct them,” everything but entertaining them. Most of all, though, it is about one man: Donald Trump and their failure to stop him, destroy him, kill him, or exile him and his supporters. This is one of the most exciting times to be living through in American history, but you'd never know it by the movies and TV shows Hollywood pumps out. Their monoculture, their one-sided point of view, has choked the life out of Hollywood. If they could make fun of themselves, if they could humanize their fellow Americans, they might be able to tell stories that resonate with everyone. Maybe, just maybe, they would breathe new life into a decaying organism.But they can't risk it. Like the Democrats who don't trust the people with elections, Hollywood doesn't trust them with the culture.Elon Musk spent $44 billion to take Twitter out of the hands of its previous gatekeepers. Ellison is now trying to pry open a crack in the thick shell of Hollywood's product and return more of it to market forces and all of those people Hollywood left behind. // This is a public episode.

As people get older, they either embrace their age... or try to hide from it. As Jeremy Bradley turns 44, he talks about aging and wonders why people lie to themselves about how many years they've been alive. "You can change your face, you can change other body parts, but your age is still your age," JB says. He talks about the pivot when young people brag about how old they are ("I'm an adult now!") to playing coy as they age ("How old do you think I am?"). JB wonders the magical age that has people finally embracing their age. "People shy away from saying they're in their 50s or 60s but when they hit other milestones, say, 80, people, like Jane Fonda, are proud to admit it." JB talks about executive producer, Bonnie Winters, who will never publicly say her age. (Cough- 70s)

On the sixty- fourth episode of All the Film Things, Cecilia Müller, the admin of @jane.and.fonda on Instagram, joins me for a casual discussion of Jane Fonda and Robert Redford's four on- screen collaborations! This episode contains spoilers. Jane Fonda and Robert Redford have achieved astounding levels of success on their own that their on- screen partnership, that spanned fifty years, often goes under-appreciated. Both Fonda and Redford emerged as key figures of the New Hollywood era and went on to earn Academy Awards, but their careers really started alongside each other in the 60s. Though they share a debut feature film in Tall Story (1960), they really first shared the screen in The Chase (1966) - but their interaction was quite limited. The next year their most famous collaboration, Barefoot in the Park, was released and their chemistry that couldn't be contained was evident while playing newlyweds in this film. About ten years later they reunited to make The Electric Horseman (1979), in which their dynamic was initially quite the opposite of Paul and Corrie in Barefoot in the Park. Their final film together was Our Souls at Night (2017) which is a cherished “bookend”, as Jane calls it, to their careers. While Jane and Robert share many similarities, one being extroverted and the other introverted along with unparalleled chemistry, made for one of the greatest actor- actress duos in cinema.Cecilia, a true Jane Fonda expert, runs the biggest and best Jane Fonda fan account on Instagram, @jane.and.fonda, that has achieved over 575,000 followers. She's active every single day posting numerous times covering all things Jane from the latest updates, photos throughout her life and career, as well as both film and interview clips. If you want to learn about Jane or just stay updated on the living legend, you definitely need to follow Cecilia's account. Her dedication to Jane is impressive and her creativity in making edits, posts, etc. is truly admirable. Not only is this Cecilia's first time on All the Film Things, but this appearance marks her podcast debut! I am so honored Cecilia makes her podcast debut on ATFT. We have been talking about recording an episode together for about two years now and this specific topic is one I've wanted to dive into since starting this podcast four years ago. Cecilia and I have been online friends through Instagram for about three years now with our shared appreciation for Jane Fonda being the basis of our friendship. I always enjoy texting her, but this conversation is the first time we got a chance to verbally converse. It's certainly a challenge to schedule a time for us to record since there is a five- hour time difference between us, as Cecilia is based in Germany, but hopefully we will be able to record another episode again sometime since we both had a great time talking. This highly- anticipated episode was set to release in May, but after sudden unexpected events, it unfortunately had been postponed for two months. This episode was recorded on May 2, 2026. Naturally, because this was the first time Cecilia and I really conversed, we did veer off in some minor tangents and the introduction section was a bit longer than usual. In this episode, Cecilia and I share our ranking of Jane and Robert's four collaborations, playfully argue over our very different opinions towards one of the four films, and the film that led us to both becoming fans of Fonda. Cecilia reveals which of these two Hollywood legends isn't so famous in Germany while I analyzed The Chase's place in cinema as the unofficial beginning of the New Hollywood era. Tangents in this episode include discussing films throughout Jane's career, Grace and Frankie, and the loss of Diane Keaton. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

Why do Democrats so often lose the message war and allow Republicans to dominate the political conversation—even when Democrats and progressives have popular policies?Legendary progressive strategist and activist David Fenton says Democrats are practicing what amounts to “unilateral disarmament” in today's information war. After more than 50 years helping movements win public support, he believes progressives must simplify their language, repeat compelling messages, reconnect with working people and build mass movements capable of defeating concentrated wealth and political corruption.In this wide-ranging Lean to the Left interview, Fenton explains why good policies do not sell themselves—and why Democrats must stop relying on academic language, insider terminology and messages that ordinary voters do not understand.Fenton discusses:• Why Republicans have become better at framing political issues• How simple language and repetition influence voters• Why Democrats must speak to affordability and working-class concerns• The danger of allowing specialized identity language to divide potential allies• Why the central struggle is not simply left versus right—but top versus bottom• How Democrats should connect climate change to higher costs and political corruption• Why effective metaphors such as “Make Polluters Pay” can move public opinion• How mass movements have changed America—and can do so again• What today's activists can learn from Abbie Hoffman, the antiwar movement and decades of progressive organizingFenton also shares hilarious stories from an extraordinary career that included the No Nukes concerts, the campaign to free Nelson Mandela, efforts to reform marijuana laws, environmental campaigns and work with activists, political leaders and cultural figures including his mentor, Abbie Hoffman, and Jane Fonda, Jesse Jackson, John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen.His message is blunt: Democrats and progressives cannot win merely by being correct. They must learn how to communicate, reach a mass audience and give people a reason to join something bigger than themselves.David Fenton is the author of The Activist's Media Handbook, available here https://amzn.to/4gDYmSH, and host of The Fenton Forecast podcast.Watch the full conversation, then tell us in the comments: What is the single biggest change Democrats should make in the way they communicate with voters?Subscribe to Lean to the Left for independent progressive commentary, political analysis and conversations with the people documenting—and shaping—America at a crossroads.CHAPTERS:00:00 Meet David Fenton02:00 Dropping Out Into Activism02:46 Underground Press Days04:13 Abbie Hoffman Lessons07:37 John Sinclair Freedom Concert08:49 Ann Arbor Human Rights Party10:53 High Times To Rolling Stone11:52 No Nukes And Starting Fenton13:05 Why Progressives Lose Media Wars14:24 Framing And Simple Messages17:20 Climate Language That Works19:40 Woke Sectarianism Debate20:40 Stop Divisive Messaging22:00 Socialism Label Problem22:30 Woke Pitfalls and Attacks23:16 Plainspoken Progressives25:58 Climate as Cost and Corruption27:32 Senate Map and Party Future29:04 AOC Versus Old Guard30:37 Fixing Disinformation Platforms33:58 Trump Costs and Vance Threat37:24 Podcast Book and Farewell

Send us Fan MailRHORI Reunion Part 2: Receipts, Lawsuits & Brian's Biggest SecretsRHORI Reunion Part 2 delivered even more receipts, legal drama, and relationship bombshells as the cast continued to battle over who's telling the truth.Rosie remained under fire as Kelsey repeatedly questioned her stories about leaving her job, building her home, and her finances. Rosie insisted she left work due to health issues related to colitis, while Kelsey suggested there was more to the story. The two also clashed over the construction of Rosie's house, mortgages, and ownership documents, with Rosie growing increasingly frustrated and attempting to retrieve a binder of receipts to defend herself.Alicia provided some lighter moments, revealing details about her relationship with Billy, admitting he still controls much of their finances despite giving her ownership in Pizza Mama. She also shared that she's launching her own cracker line, manages anxiety that limits her driving, and joked about staying fit thanks to Jane Fonda workouts.Kelsey opened up about surviving a drunk driving accident that led doctors to discover a brain tumor. She also firmly denied escort rumors, joking that she has "never sold any of my holes for money." She explained the complicated timeline with her wealthy ex and acknowledged that Bill currently helps support her financially.The reunion's biggest storyline centered on Rulla and Brian's affair scandal. Jo-Ellen came armed with court documents showing Brian's divorce timeline, contradicting Rulla's version of events. Jo-Ellen claimed Brian's divorce wasn't finalized until after Rulla became pregnant, leading to explosive accusations that Rulla unknowingly began the relationship while Brian was still legally married.When the husbands joined the stage, Brian repeatedly refused to answer key questions, citing an NDA and ongoing litigation involving his former mistress. Andy pressed Brian about the affair, the lawsuit, the alleged tracking device found on Rulla's vehicle, and rumors that he secretly met his mistress during the polo match. Brian acknowledged the affair but declined to discuss dates or details because of legal restrictions, frustrating both Andy and the cast.Jo-Ellen continued presenting receipts, including divorce filings, Chanel purchase records, and timelines tying Brian to his mistress. Gary defended Jo-Ellen, arguing she was only trying to prove she hadn't lied all season. Even Rosie urged Brian to simply admit when the affair ended so everyone could move forward.Rulla became emotional, admitting she's still traumatized, doesn't fully trust Brian, and warned there would be no second chances if he ever cheated again. Several cast members reassured her that the affair wasn't her fault and encouraged her to know her worth.The reunion concluded with each woman reflecting on what she'd do differently during the season, followed by a celebratory toast featuring Rhode Island's signature "Dirty Shirley" cocktail and Liz presenting Andy with a symbolic "King of Rhode Island" mask.✳️Follow us on Social Media✳️ ============================================

The John Adams Institute is Amsterdam's home for independent American thought. John Adams himself said, "Let us tenderly and kindly cherish... the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write." For four decades, we have amassed a unique archive of great thinkers, speakers and writers, from Toni Morrison to Timothy Snyder, and from Jane Fonda to Jill Lepore. It has been our pleasure to share this treasure trove of thought and word with you. In this exclusive miniseries, we're sitting down with a few prominent voices from both sides of the Atlantic to take stock of the United States, two hundred and fifty years into its experiment in self-governance. Across these conversations, you'll hear from Ada Limón, former U.S. Poet Laureate, on art, identity, and the burden of speaking for a country; Nancy Pelosi, Speaker Emerita of the House, on the founding promise of American democracy and the gap between promise and practice; and Edward Luce of the Financial Times, on America as a creedal nation—the fragile idea holding it together at home, and what its fracturing means for its place in the world. We believe John Adams would have wanted it that way—in fact, he explained as much in a letter to his wife, Abigail, on 3 July 1776: "I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival." And so, from Amsterdam, it's Bright Minds; Out of Many, One?—the podcast from the John Adams Institute. If you're a friend of free thinking and the communities that support it, please become a member. Our independence is something we cherish, and it comes with a cost. The John Adams Institute is an independent foundation without structural subsidy, and there's always room at our table for more. Click here to find out about sponsorship or becoming a member.Support the show

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 24, 2026 is: pantheon • PAN-thee-ahn • noun Pantheon usually refers to a group of famous or notable people or things. It also refers to the officially recognized gods of a particular people, as well as to the Roman Pantheon, the domed temple begun in 27 B.C. and rebuilt circa 118-128 A.D. // With her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the distinguished bassist and songwriter joined a pantheon of musical legends. // His research is primarily dedicated to the Greek and Roman pantheons. See the entry > Examples: "From cheeky shots of celebrities like Jane Fonda and Arnold Schwarzenegger to extravagant, sensual portfolios of America's Olympic squads, the magazine's pantheon of photographers have helped to define the genre of sports portraiture." — Kahina Sekkaï, Vanity Fair, 14 May 2026 Did you know? Some of the earliest uses of pantheon in the English language refer to the most famous Pantheon, the circular domed temple built in Rome more than 19 centuries ago (and still standing). We can easily identify the origins of the temple's name, which the Romans borrowed from the Greek word for a temple honoring all their gods. That Greek word, pantheion, combines pan- ("all") and theos ("god"). In today's English, pantheon often refers to all the gods of a particular people (as in "the Egyptian pantheon"), a sense that arose in the 16th century but was rarely used until the 19th century. More often, though, pantheon bears a meaning developed later to refer to the eminent company of the highly venerated, be they human or not. A pantheon of this type includes no deities; it is a group of famous or notable people or things, as in "a book joining the pantheon of great world literature."

The Author Events Series presents Bob Spitz | The Rolling Stones: The Biography In Conversation with Dan DeLuca  All great music is a threat. What left is there to say about The Rolling Stones? A hell of a lot, it turns out. Bob Spitz has brought his indefatigable energy and five decades of experiences in the fields and hollows of rock 'n' roll to bear on his five-year journey to reexamine one of popular music's greatest stories. There are myriad revisions to the conventional narrative which underscore just how in control of that narrative the band has been up to now-small example: no, Muddy Waters was not mopping the floors at Chess Records when the Stones showed up. But in a larger sense, as with the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, Spitz's greatest gift is for the big picture. He knows where the magic is, and why it is. He is as clear-eyed a connoisseur of the show business, the spectacle and the collateral damage of this whirlwind as anyone alive, and that lucid gaze pierces a lot of incrusted bullshit, but the ultimate goal is to connect with a creative force whose power shows no signs of fading, over sixty years on. At its heart the story is about two boys, Mick and Keith, and their unique, fraught, alchemical bond, often tested, never sundered. The Glimmer Twins. The bandmates, like Charlie Watts, who found their groove in relation to this double star made the trip intact, while those who struggled, like Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, were chewed up and spit out. This is a story with many dark corners, including a surprising number of deaths. But whether Jagger and Richards sold their souls to the devil is at the crossroads for blues greatness or just squeezed their heroes for every drop of inspiration, in the end their connection to their music and to each other put them in a category of one, where they very much remain. Bob Spitz is the award-winning author of the biographies The Beatles and Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child, both New York Times bestsellers, as well as six other nonfiction books and a screenplay. He helped manage Bruce Springsteen and Elton John at crucial points in their careers. He's written hundreds of major profiles of figures, ranging from Keith Richards to Jane Fonda, from Paul McCartney to Paul Bowles. Dan DeLuca is the pop music critic for the Philadelphia Inquirer. He's been writing about music and pop culture for the Inquirer and other outlets for more than three decades. He grew up at the Jersey Shore and is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. He has interviewed Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Darryl Jones and saw the Charlie Watts Orchestra play at Pulsations nightclub in Glenn Mills, Pa. in 1986. Because you love Author Events, please make a donation when you register for this event to ensure that this series continues to inspire Philadelphians. Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night! All tickets are non-refundable. (recorded 4/28/2026)

The news is in bananas this week and we're tracking every single hilarious, desperate, and corrupt moment. First up: real corruption is unraveling in California. Gavin Newsom's former Chief of Staff, Dana Williamson, has officially pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud charges in a massive campaign embezzlement scheme. Now, federal investigators are turning their sights on Newsom, his wife, and his inner circle. Is the golden boy's house of cards finally collapsing? Meanwhile, Hollywood's aging elite are back at it again. Outraged over President Trump's electric UFC event, a group of ultra-wealthy white hollywood liberals (Jane Fonda & Robert Deniro) staged a "RISE UP" counter-protest to profess their hatred for trump for America. Then Joy Reid practically vibrated with rage calling the president names and blaming him for the cancellation of her career. But it's not all hollywood hypocrisy— capitalism just won the ultimate championship ring. SpaceX went public, and Elon Musk has officially become the world's very first trillionaire. If you love American innovation and free speech, you're cheering—but if you watch MSNBC, it's the literal end of days. We break down the absolute jealousy driving the "eat the rich" crowd's latest hyperventilation. Plus, we look at the devastating new Statutory Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs rocking the UK, and how Vice President JD Vance just walked into the lion's den on The View to promote his new book Communion—and left all six co-hosts completely outmatched.

Trump turned America's 250th birthday, the country's semiquincentennial, into a $60 million UFC cage fight on the White House South Lawn for his own 80th birthday. This episode of We Saw the Devil breaks down the entire Freedom 250 disaster: the pay-per-view cage match, the beer and crypto sponsors, the commemorative coin with his face on it, and the party lights that nearly blinded a pilot landing at Reagan National. Host Robin, a jaded Poli Sci major and full-time political obsessee, follows the money through the UFC, Paramount, the $110 billion merger that needs Trump's blessing, Jane Fonda's rival concert at 88, the ring girl outfits that violate flag code on Flag Day, and the six states that refused to attend their own country's birthday.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilDiscord: https://discord.gg/X2qYXdB4Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.

America was supposed to turn 250 this year. One man turned it into his own 80th birthday party instead: a cage fight on the people's lawn, a beer sponsor, party lights bright enough to blind a pilot on approach, and a twelve-thousand-dollar coin with his face on one side and We the People on the other. Lyrics:South Lawn's got a ninety-foot clawEighty-seven-foot cage where the rose garden wasBud Light logos on every wallMonster Energy sign bigger than GodSeventy-nine going on eightyTurns the whole country into his birthday partyPay-per-view, eight-ninety-nine a monthWhile pilots scream "I can't see the runway, cunt!"They said it was America's two-fiftyBut it's just one old man and his UFC griftCommodores bailed, Young MC dippedVanilla Ice is the only one left on the shipOCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!His face on the coin, We the People on the back!OCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!Autopen signed it, he was too busy to sign!You turned the Mall into a parking lot brawlAnd called it freedom, you senile asshole!OCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!Happy birthday to you, America's gone!Ring girls in flag bikinis on Flag DayViolating federal code in the most American way"Respect the flag!" they screamed for ten years straightNow it's ass cheeks and stars on the Octagon Girls stageCrypto dot com and Bud Light holding handsTKO stock in the president's pantsSixty million dollars, seven agencies deepWhile North Carolina can't afford to show up and weepThey starved the real commission, funneled the cashTo a cage fight and a coin with his face on the stashEleven-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety-nineFor a chunk of gold that's worth half that timeOCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!His face on the coin, We the People on the back!OCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!Autopen signed it, he was too busy to sign!You blinded the pilots over Reagan at nightSixty-seven died there, but the lights were too bright!OCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!Happy birthday to you, America's gone!Jane Fonda's eighty-eight throwing a real showPatti Smith, Bette Midler, five thousand rooms saying NOWhile you're in a chair watching men grapple for cashOn ground soaked in marches and blood from the pastThey tore up the reflecting pool like it was nothingMade the Washington Monument your corporate backdropYou wanted your name on the Kennedy Center tooJudge said "scrape it off" and thirty-five thousand cheered while it flewOCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!We the People are watching you lose!OCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!Your grift's showing, motherfucker, choose!Bud Light cage, Monster sign, coin made of shameStates walked out, musicians bailed, only the grifters remained!OCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!This ain't a birthday, this is a con!OCTOGENARIAN OCTAGON!We're burning it down before the next one!Happy two hundred and fifty, you geriatric clownThe cage comes down MondayBut the receipts?

Kennedy reacts to the high-stakes California primary election and makes a fierce case for ending the "mono-party rule" destroying Los Angeles. She blasts Jane Fonda's controversial endorsement of Mayor Karen Bass, diving deep into Fonda's historical ties to communist propaganda, and encouraging local voters to look toward fresh leadership like Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt and Gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton to bring accountability and real change back to California.

John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, and Rob Long er, "ricochet" from Trump potentially skipping his son's wedding to the collapse of late-night television, the strange death of black-tie culture, the rise of “Technogerd” pharmaceutical ads, and whether the future belongs to GLP-1 drugs, Episcopalians, or Chinese vertical dramas. Along the way: Jane Fonda at the Chinese Theatre, yacht-rock pedophilia lyrics, the comedy gold of the JPMorgan sex-lawsuit texts, Netflix sitcoms, empty Manhattan churches, Johnny Carson's killer instinct, and the immortal phrase “Fiddla Please.” It's a classic free-association GLoP: equal parts cultural criticism, showbiz war stories, theological detour, and middle-aged panic attack — all powered by Dongfang energy and sustained by propofol-grade banter.

Louis is joined by writers Gus Hickey and Chris Schleicher to discuss the latest edition of Eurovision and the finale of The Comeback.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 84: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Back from a week off just in time to put the podcast on health hiatus...details within today's supersized edition. Plus, befitting the time off, some meta pictures on how Democrats should plan for what they want this country to look like on its 300th anniversary, if it lasts that long. Will we have jailed Trump and gotten back the money he took? Undone his damage? Eliminated the anachronistic idea that Wyoming should have as many senators as California? Let the Supreme Court continue to lie, cheat and steal the democracy from under us? As John Candy said in "Splash": Think big, be big, my friend. MORE IMMEDIATELY: Whaddya mean the Governor of Virginia hasn't been BRIEFED on the way to overturn her state's Supreme Court's usurpation of redistricting? Why the hell not Hakeem Jeffries? Anybody notice Trump is simply rotating the same three lies about Iran? Why are only independent journalists like Garrett Graff still covering the WHCD non-shooting when the New York Times is doing 31 paragraphs on the future of the dinner like anybody gave a crap? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: stop saying Trump is painting everything GOLD. That color is not GOLD. It is the color of WEE WEE. Say it. Use the clinical terms, use the gutter terms. The gutter terms define this idiot president. Stop saying gold when you mean whizzzzzzzzzzzzzz. B-Block (56:00) ON THE PASSING OF TED TURNER: Hard to believe few of the obituaries mentioned how he also invented 7-day-a-week sports on national television. Or how Jane Fonda kept him from destroying himself in, like, 1982. One particularly harrowing saga had him telling the lowest ranking staffer at CNN's Washington Bureau which way, when he finally decided he'd do it, he'd do it. And this is said with admiration and affection for the man who created the place where I and so many of the figures of the last 45 years began our TV careers. C-Block (1:30:00) ALL TED ALL THE TIME: I was holding back until I was certain I wouldn't jinx him. My beloved first rescue dog, Ted, was up against it last fall. I took him to the University of Florida for life-saving open heart surgery and boy, did they! Eight hours on the table, eight hours of SICU, all for an eight pound dog and now - he's not even on any medications! It's a long story and I would insist it's worth hearing it. And if you have a dog (or know of one) moving from Mitral Valve Disease to Heart Failure, maybe this will provide you with hope - and an option.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we're sharing our electric conversation with Jane Fonda. This one feels especially right for this moment—because so many of us are asking the same questions Jane has been answering with her life: How do we keep aging without disappearing? How do we stay awake—to our bodies, to each other, to the truth—when everything feels so chaotic and overwhelming? Jane reminds us that getting older doesn't mean getting quieter—it can mean getting whole. Not perfection, but integration. Not waiting until you have it all figured out—but showing up as you are and doing your part. - How she left her body as a child—and found her way back decades later - Why the goal isn't perfection—it's becoming whole - What she's learned about love, power, and choosing herself - How she kept showing up through backlash, surveillance, and public attacks - Why you don't have to be ready—you just have to begin About Jane:  Jane Fonda is a two-time Academy Award-winning actor (Best Actress in 1971 for Klute and in 1978 for Coming Home), producer, author, activist, and fitness guru. Her career has spanned over 50 years, accumulating a body of film work that includes over 45 films and crucial work on behalf of political causes such as women's rights, Native Americans, and the environment. She is a seven-time Golden Globe winner and was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 2021, Stanley Kubrick Excellence in Film Award as part of BAFTA's Britannia Awards in 2019, AFI Life Achievement Award winner in 2014, and Honorary Palme d'Or honoree in 2007.  Follow We Can Do Hard Things on:  Instagram — ⁠https://www.instagram.com/wecandohardthings⁠
