MUSICMaynard James Keenan, the lead vocalist of Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer, expressed on Steve-O's podcast that he now considers the song "4°" from Tool's 1993 album "Undertow" to be "stupid" due to its lyrics. https://loudwire.com/maynard-james-keenan-tool-song-stupid/ The Eagles' album "Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975" has become the first to achieve quadruple diamond certification from the RIAA, indicating over 40 million units sold. https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/news/the-eagles-greatest-hits-album-b2905358.html Metallica have teamed up with Dr. Martens for a new line of shoes.

TVFormer Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel has stage 2 kidney disease. According to Page Six, https://pagesix.com/2026/01/22/celebrity-news/bethenny-frankel-announces-stage-2-kidney-disease-diagnosis/ Gwyneth Paltrow recently shared her strategies for managing anxiety during an Instagram AMA (Ask Me Anything). https://people.com/gwyneth-paltrow-gives-her-advice-for-managing-anxiety-shouting-at-the-bushes-it-helps-11890157 AND FINALLYNominations for the 98th Academy Awards are out!Actors Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman revealed the nominees. Sinners received 16 nominations; a record-breaking nomination count for the most in Academy Awards history. The supernatural thriller received nominations for best picture; director (Ryan Coogler); actor (Michael B. Jordan); supporting actress (Wunmi Mosaku); actor in a supporting role (Delroy Lindo); and original screenplay. Timothée Chalamet is 30 years and 26 days old, Chalamet just became the youngest male actor to receive three Oscar nominations since Marlon Brando, who achieved this feat at age 29 in 1954. Steven Spielberg has broken his own record for the most Oscar nominations as a producer, bringing his total to 14 with the nomination for Best Picture for the film "Hamnet." One Battle After Another received 13 nods, including Best Picture.The Snubs:The Cold Shoulder: The Biggest Snubs of the 2026 Oscar NominationsThe Wicked Witch of the West... Gone?The biggest shocker of the morning has to be the complete erasure of Wicked: For Good. Just last year, the first installment picked up 10 nominations. This year? Zero. Zilch.Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who were both nominated for the first film, were completely shut out of the acting categories. Even the music branch turned its back on the franchise, ignoring the two new songs written specifically for the film. It seems the magic ran out for the sequel.Paul Mescal's Shakespearean TragedyIf you were betting on Paul Mescal picking up a nomination for playing William Shakespeare in Hamnet, you lost money today. While the film itself did well—and his co-star Jessie Buckley secured a nomination—Mescal was noticeably absent from the list. It's a tough break for an actor who has been a darling of the awards circuit lately.The Strange Case of Chase InfinitiHere is a genuine head-scratcher: One Battle After Another is a massive favorite, racking up 13 nominations. Yet, its breakout lead actress, Chase Infiniti, didn't make the cut. Some insiders think her limited screen time (she's in the movie for about 30 minutes) might have hurt her chances, but considering she's the heart of the film, her absence in the Best Actress category is glaring.Guillermo del Toro Gets the "Argo" TreatmentThe Academy clearly loved Netflix's Frankenstein—it scored nine nominations, including Best Picture. But they apparently didn't love Guillermo del Toro quite enough to give him a Best Director nod. The Directors branch is notoriously finicky, and this year, they left the beloved filmmaker off the list.Blockbuster FatigueAvatar: Fire and Ash failed to secure a Best Picture nomination, a category the previous two films sailed into easily. It seems voters might finally be feeling some Pandora fatigue.Star Power Didn't Save ThemBeing an A-lister didn't help anyone this morning.George Clooney & Adam Sandler: Their film Jay Kelly was completely shut out. Usually, a Noah Baumbach movie is catnip for voters, but this one came up empty.Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: Despite a serious campaign for his dramatic turn in The Smashing Machine, he couldn't crack the lineup.Jennifer Lawrence: She gave a ferocious performance in Die My Love, but the film was likely too gritty and indie for the broader voting body.The show, hosted by Conan O'Brien, airs live on ABC on March 15th.

Even before he was “DJ Conner,” Michael Fishman was a working-class kid raised by, as he puts it, 'a farm girl from Virginia and an immigrant father'. That blue-collar pride still defines and inspires him today in the important work he's doing within the mental health space.In this deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation, Michael takes us back to the moment his life changed forever: the Roseanne audition. While dozens of kids were asked to tell a joke, he was the only one who actually did, and that single moment opened the door to one of television's most iconic families.Michael reflects on his relationship with Roseanne Barr as one rooted in mutual support, advocacy, and honesty. He opens up about the infamous National Anthem moment and the dark turning point that followed, when he (along with the entire cast) began receiving death threats, which unfortunately continue to this day. With tactical training and a sober understanding of celebrity risk, Michael explains why public life can feel like living under a magnifying glass and how quickly admiration can escalate into rage and danger.Michael describes himself as a “young witness” on a highly volatile set, inconspicuous because of his age, yet uniquely positioned to observe the power of a woman who was unafraid to say the hard thing, be a lightning rod, and push conversations forward long before it was fashionable to do so (stay 'til the end for a round of Roseanne 'Guest Star Roulette' where Michael fondly recalls a memorable appearances, by before-they-were-famous stars!)Today, Michael calls himself a “kindness assassin.” His brand is authenticity, no filters, no fake persona, no algorithm-chasing, and he has intentionally built online spaces where people can breathe, be vulnerable, share and heal in community away from the constant churn of politics and vitriol.He speaks candidly about navigating relationships with people whose views differ from his own, including Roseanne, and why he believes compassion does not require agreement. His message is simple but urgent: find commonality, keep loving the person, and remember that meaningful change often comes from those willing to absorb the lightning.From his child actor start to his director turn on the Roseanne reboot, to his life philosophies on trauma, mental health, and resilience, Michael leaves us with one powerful truth: You are not your scars. You get to define you.In current media -- Fritz: Danny Collins, recently added to Netflix libraryWeezy: Netflix original film, Jay KellyPath Points of Interest:Michael Fishman WikipediaMichael Fishman IMDBMichael Fishman TiktokMichael Fishman on InstagramMichael Fishman on FacebookThe Safe Space CollectiveMclusive Media Production CompanyDanny Collins Jay Kelly

Josh is joined by Noah Baumbach Correspondent Josh Brown to discuss the latest collaboration between one of their favorite filmmakers and Netflix, "Jay Kelly." They discuss whether Baumbach found an interesting story to tell about family and aging in Hollywood, George Clooney's performance in the title role, if the film struck the right balance between focusing on the drama to be mined from the film industry vs. interpersonal squabbles between the characters, the supporting performances from a deep cast that included Adam Sandler, Laura Dern and Billy Crudup and much more!
Noah Baumbach (MARRIAGE STORY, FRANCES HA) and Emily Mortimer (THE PURSUIT OF LOVE, DOLL & EM) join Lorien to talk about co-writing their new Netflix film JAY KELLY, from long conversations and false starts to discovering the emotional core of the story together. They talk about writing without outlines, why not knowing is part of the job, how acting informs writing, and the surprising gift of having permission to be “whimsical, wrong, and brave” before locking a script into shape. --- Looking for more support on your writing journey?

The first episode of the new year! On the fifty- fifth episode of All the Film Things, Emmy- winning photojournalist Cole Echevarria returns to look back and discuss 2025 in film! This episode is spoiler- filled. The 2025 films spoiled are Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Bugonia, Caught Stealing, Hamnet, Jay Kelly, and Sinners..While 2023 continues to set a high bar for the 2020s decade, 2025, in my opinion, was a pretty solid year filled with a fantastic variety of unique, original films and stories. Cole and I disagreed greatly in regard to 2024 in film, but when it comes to 2025… we still disagree. Early in the year, Michael B. Jordan reunited with Ryan Coogler for Sinners, proving that they are one of the best actor- director collaborators of our time while Robert Pattinson's long- awaited sci- fi film directed by Bong Joon- Ho, Mickey 17, finally hit theaters. While several prominent actresses, Scarlett Johansson, Kate Winslet, and Kristen Stewart each made their directorial debuts, Celine Song followed up her directorial debut, Past Lives, with another beautiful film that has endured as a favorite amongst audiences. And the Oscar season officially began with the return of two of the greats, Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Thomas Anderson, for an epic, hilarious, and action- packed masterpiece beloved by film aficionados and general audiences in One Battle After Another. From then on, several brilliant films such as Sentimental Value, Hamnet, and Jay Kelly instantly became beloved by audiences and Oscar contenders. On previous year in review episodes, the concern of physical media's future was discussed and now, due to recent events, the future of movie theaters has become more grim than ever before. This episode not only marks the 101st (!!) episode of All the Film Things, but also Cole's 20th appearance on the show! He is far and away the most frequent guest and I'm very grateful for his friendship, banter and all, as well as, of course, being a part of ATFT since the early days in 2022. This is the fourth year in review episode on All the Film Things and I always look forward to these reflective episodes, not only because I get to chat with friends, but also because these episodes will act as sort- of time capsules someday. This episode was originally 130 minutes so much had to be cut, which especially affected the tribute segment, but it was recorded on December 23, 2025. In this episode, Cole and I share our top five favorite films of the year and, much to our surprise since we never agree, we have the same number one pick . Weirdly enough, we have a few of the same films in our top five lists, though my fourth favorite of the year immediately made Cole laugh. We go on to discuss the favorite films of past ATFT guests from K- Pop Demon Hunters to Bugonia, ponder which other movie stars could have played the titular character of Jay Kelly, and pay tribute to the giant stars we lost in 2025 as well as two previous ATFT guests. You also won't want to miss Cole's Bob Dylan impression... because you won't be able to unhear it. All this and much more on the brand new episode of All the Film Things!

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.

Tonight's triple feature looks at a very specific corner of modern prestige filmmaking: Netflix as patron of adult drama, literary seriousness as cover, and awards viability as the quiet horizon. Jay Kelly, Train Dreams, and A House of Dynamite aren't united by genre or tone—they're united by intent.Train Dreams, adapted from Denis Johnson's novella, arrives pre-validated by literature, favoring memory, mood, and interiority over conventional narrative drive. Its restraint, casting choices, and visual language are calibrated for seriousness, festivals first and awards second. Jay Kelly occupies the character-study lane—films built around lived-in performances and social environments rather than plot mechanics, relying on actors who can suggest entire lives with minimal exposition. A House of Dynamite fits Netflix's newer pattern: ambiguity as a feature, not a bug—projects that provoke discussion without ideological hand-holding, often breaking through via critics' groups or screenplay recognition.The through-line is simple: Netflix is betting that seriousness still carries cultural capital. These films aren't chasing mass audiences—they're chasing legitimacy. Whether that turns into Oscar nominations isn't just about quality; it's a test of whether the awards ecosystem still recognizes quiet ambition in a noise-driven industry.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59
Of all the human emotions, save possibly grief, regret may well be the most incapacitating. On this week's show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss a pair of films that, each in its own way, focuses on characters who suffer from regrets that prove nearly, if not completely, paralyzing.
For her directorial debut, comedienne and writer Elaine May chose to adapt the short story The Green Heart by Jack Ritchie into A New Leaf - the story of a rich playboy who loses all his money and schemes to marry and murder a rich woman. Walter Matthau plays the entitled Henry Graham and May herself plays the ditzy but lovable Henrietta Lowell. The film went over budget and time, necessitating a couple extra million dollars and 40 extra shooting days. Paramount took the final edit away from May, winnowing her original 3 hour cut into the existing 90 minute theatrical cut. The films boasts a bevy of comedic character stars including Jack Weston, Doris Roberts, Renne Taylor and James Coco. Dan and Vicky discuss the oddball romantic dark comedy along with alot of recently seen including 2025's Silent Night Deadly Night, Hamnet, Fackham Hall, Nouvelle Vague, Jay Kelly, The Running Man and Equalizer 2.

This week on The Analysis (In-Person Pod), Bob hosts from his “temporary studio” (aka the dining room) while construction turns his future basement setup into a work-in-progress—and yes, the backdrop is a 4.5-foot Nakatomi Plaza complete with a Bruce Willis ornament and an LED explosion. From Die Hard Christmas party lore to awards-season streaming season, the guys dig into Netflix's latest lineup with a “Give It a Stream” mindset. First up: Train Dreams—a quiet, devastating, visually stunning frontier story anchored by Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones. They unpack the film's naturalistic beauty, the brutal realities of logging life, hidden CGI craft, and why simple stories can hit the hardest. Then they hop aboard Jay Kelly, Noah Baumbach's movie-star meditation starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler. They debate its strong bones vs. a jarring tonal detour, highlight standout scenes (Billy Crudup's “emotional choice” masterclass), and talk about the cost of greatness—career ambition vs. being present for the people who matter. To close, they hit Knives Out 3: Wake Up Deadman, breaking down why these star-stacked whodunits are the perfect “pause-and-theorize” Netflix watch, what works (Josh Brolin + Josh O'Connor showing up big), and where the movie occasionally runs long—but still lands. Also: a quick warning about The Roses… and a bottle-fed cameo from Reese to end the episode.
JAY KELLY MOVIE REVIEW Netflix's Jay Kelly arrives as a quiet, contemplative drama about success, friendship, and the uneasy space between who you were and who you've become.

On this week's episode, Gabfest old friends Steve, Julia, and June Thomas convene on two showbiz works of midlife retrospection and regret: the new film Jay Kelly and Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along. The former, directed by Noah Baumbach, stars George Clooney as the titular movie star looking back on his life while on a European train picaresque. The latter was a legendary flop for Sondheim, had a triumphant Broadway revival starring Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe, and Lindsay Mendez, and now has arrived at movie theaters. In our third segment, the panel turns to another showbiz saga full of bitter regret: the fight to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery. Joined by writer and Hollywood watcher Mark Harris, they untangle the fight between Netflix and Paramount to outbid each other for the legacy film studio—and what it all has to do with Trump and the future of movie-going itself. In an exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, it's back to join the Joined in our recap discussion of Pluribus episode 7 “The Gap.” Act now, there's still time to leave us a voicemail with your burning cultural queries for our annual call-in show by calling us at 347-201-2397.

The filmmaker Noah Baumbach can recall when he may have fallen out of love with his craft. He was shooting “White Noise,” based on Don DeLillo's novel, “on a deserted highway in Ohio at 4 A.M. with a rain machine.” “Oh, God, I don't know that I like doing this,” he recalls thinking. “Am I doing this”—making movies—“only because I do it?” He channelled that angst into his new film “Jay Kelly,” a Hollywood comedy of manners starring George Clooney as a very famous movie star who suddenly wonders whether it was all worth it, and why people keep offering him cheesecake. In October, Baumbach spoke with The New Yorker's articles editor, Susan Morrison, at The New Yorker Festival about working with his wife, Greta Gerwig, on “Barbie,” and why the first lines of his movies can tell you everything. New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.
Billy Crudup (The Morning Show, Jay Kelly, Almost Famous) is an Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor. Billy joins the Armchair Expert to discuss his interpretation of his findings on Finding Your Roots, how he both appreciated and struggled with having a dreamer for a dad, and the story of his parents getting twice married and divorced. Billy and Dax talk about his sentimentality sometimes sneaking up on him, wanting to create for his son the stability and consistency that he didn't have growing up, and rebelling against his father by getting a master's degree in acting. Billy explains the galvanizing moment when he realized he wanted to pursue acting as a craft, feeling useful when he can tell a good story, and why doing television scared him when he was just starting out.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
