So much better than we expected! Natalie Grace in Lee Cronin’s The Mummy (2026) ★★★★ The first half of 2026 certainly made a statement in the horror genre. Reverberations will be felt across Hollywood as studios reassess what constitutes a blockbuster. The recent critical success of Sinners, Weapons, and The Substance appears to be bearing fruit. The results may have led to a diverse slate of offerings for 2026, and it is reflected in the wide array of horror offerings so far this year. If variety is your preference, then you have been in luck, so far. The unimaginable financial and critical success of Obsession and Backrooms, particularly given their low cost, have re-written the horror producer’s playbook, and will have a lasting impact for years to come. The Scariest Things evaluated what we’ve seen so far, and have come back with a report card of our favorites. The Mid Major – Large Indie Productions: It will be interesting to do an autopsy of 2026’s horror fare when we do our year end assessment. This year’s crop has been notably light on mid-major productions so far. The roaring successes we’ve seen thus far have been from the deep indie filmmakers. Backrooms, Undertone, Hokum, and Obsession. All original titles, and produced for less than $5 million. These are not the type of films you would typically predict would be box office hits. But, they outperformed any reasonable expectation, particularly startling for Backrooms and Obsession, which will have cinema economists trying to figure out the alchemy. The Major Studios: There were only a few major studio franchise sequels this year. All of them capable, but none of them superseding their source material. Scream 7 did very well at the box office, but it failed to make a big impression. Evil Dead Burn was a very violent, very intense outing that didn’t connect in the way its predecessors have. Scary Movie also did well on its $30 million budget, earning $210 million, its long layoff didn’t hurt its popularity, despite the derivative humor. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was a hit with critics (including our own Liz Williams) but it’s turn from zombies may have hurt it in the box office, as it probably will not make its budget back. The notable big comeback was Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, which gives horror fans hope that Universal has gotten their monsterverse back on track, and remembered how to deliver a vicious movie with a good story. The Festival Circuit: Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to get out to as many film festivals this year as we would have liked, but we still managed to review a lot of great small indie horror films. Our traditional rotation of SXSW, Overlook, Portland Horror, and Popcorn Frights all provided very interesting films from emerging filmmakers. Even the bigger festival this year were heavy on small indie productions, and there were a lot of good offerings. We didn’t discuss all of them in our Podcast, but you can review a lot of the movies we saw with links on the images below. There is an emerging trend of release schedules for many of the best independent horror films, relative to the festival circuit. Open at SXSW (Or sometimes Sundance), get some buzz, go to Overlook to validate the buzz, and then release in the early summer. It can be a big momentum builder. Last year it was The Ugly Stepsister (Oscar Nom), and Good Boy that were the big beneficiaries of that combination. This year it was Obsession, Hokum, and Leviticus. Sometimes Panic Fest will factor into the equation, depending on when runs relative to Overlook. Popcorn Frights still brought a massive catalogue for viewing, but this year was more reliant on reperatory films. Some of my favorite films this year were horror adjacent, and all of their streaming content was small indie productions. Our favorite local festival, The Portland Horror Film Festival had an unusually large amount of feature films, and the best part was that almost all of the directors participated in the festival. We were fortunate to get interviews with all of them. Check out our Podcasts for the interviews. It was a diverse group of films, and not a dud among them. What is Still Coming in 2026? Probably the most intriguing film still due out is a new take on Resident Evil by Zach Cregger, the director of Barbarian and Weapons. This is a major tonal shift for Sony. No more Mia Jovovic or Paul W.S. Anderson. Video game translations are usually dubious, and the franchise squandered its potential. It became more superhero and less horror. However, Sony is gambling that with the right creator, it might revitalize the legacy, and Cregger may inject real scares into this franchise for the first time since the original. We shall see. The trailer looks great. Other Mommy, which arrives on October 9, has some incredibly disturbing visuals. Jessica Chastain stars, and Rob Savage (Host) directs. This uncanny-valley movie came late to my radar and is intriguing. Later this August, the Insidious franchise is issuing Insidious: Out of the Further. Lin Shaye returns, Leigh Whannell writes this, and it has a banger trailer. This franchise has maintained some of the scariest PG-13 fare, but the sequels have been a gradual decline in quality. We’ll see how this goes. Beware Boiúna might give us the Anaconda movie we wish we got earlier this year, and wipe the slate clean from the Jack Black/Paul Rudd disappointment. It’s R-rated, and features reliable scream queen Jessica Rothe, along with Logan Marshall-Green and Kiana Madeira in the Amazon. The trailer impressed me with the snake’s monstrousness. Another fascinating man-vs-nature survival tale is Whalefall, a terrifying concept in which a scuba diver is in jeopardy of being consumed by a sperm whale if the giant squid the whale has snagged doesn’t kill him first. Clayface will attempt to bridge the superhero and horror genres, which is no easy feat. Will it have enough horror for horror fans, and will it have enough fealty to the Batman universe to appeal to the comic book fans? Mike Flanagan wrote it, and it promises real R-rated body horror, so it could be very interesting. Lastly, Robert Eggers’ period piece Werwulf is getting the full Eggers treatment, in monochrome and as moody as you could possibly want. Hopefully it will get the stink of the Wolf Man out of our popcorn. Just give me a great transformation scene, please. Keep an eye out for It Ends, a festival darling from 2025 which is finally getting a limited release this year. It is a brilliant, if melancholy purgatory metaphor. If you enjoyed Backrooms, you should check this film out if you are lucky enough to have it showing in a theater near you. Of course, some smaller films will come out of the shadows and inevitably make our end-of-the-top-10 lists, but this is what we know so far.

We said The Prestige is the "most" Christopher Nolan movie, and that Inception is his most autobiographical... but it turns out we were wrong, because both apply to Interstellar. It's a movie where a character literally says, "I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of time." It's a movie about a man who desperately wants to return home to his children, except that he wants even more to go do some cool stuff in outer space. The movie's working title was Flora's Letter, referring to Nolan's real-life 11-year-old daughter Flora, the inspiration for the character of Murph. And it's probably Nolan's best movie. Laci and Matt spend more than three hours celebrating this masterpiece, and talk a lot about whether you should even care if the human race got resurrected via a tube of sperm on another planet hundreds of years in the future.    Watch this Interstellar podcast in full on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@1weekrental  Get more 1-Week Rental on Patreon: https://patreon.com/1weekrental  Next episode (Aug. 14, 2026): Tenet (2020)!   The Summer of Nolan is our summer 2026 miniseries covering the movie career of Christopher Nolan through nine movies on the main feed (plus additional episodes on the Patreon!), presented in chronological order, starting with Memento and going through Oppenheimer.

From his breakout role as the unforgettable Marc St. James in Ugly Betty, to starring alongside Harrison Ford in Shrinking, Michael Urie has spent the last two decades building an acclaimed career across TV, film and Broadway. Fresh from his run in London's West End in Oh, Mary! Michael is Josh's guest on this week's episode of Josh Smith's Great Chat Show. In this chat with Josh, Michael looks back on the audition for Ugly Betty that changed his life (and almost didn't happen!) and tells Josh what it was really like working alongside Martha Stewart and Victoria Beckham. He shares why his friendship with Jessica Chastain has stood the test of time since they met at drama school and spills on the messages he receives (or doesn't!) from Shrinking co-star Harrison Ford. He also reflects on his younger struggles to feel accepted, which so many of us will relate to.  Plus he joins the group chat to answer your questions - including about the most niche job he's ever had. Plot spoiler: it involves a pig! 

Who knew The Guys were handymen? Mechanics.  Consultants, if you will.   And this week they are here to fix Dr. Who.  Of course, it's mostly Robbie with his hands on the dials, but Art and Jay do have opinions.  Is it back to basics?  Pleasing the core fans?  More tech and modern effects, or less?  They all agreed that characters and story make the difference.  And they are willing to move to England and be co-show-runners if the BBC will cover the tab.   Since that's somewhat unlikely, there is a backup plan: travel just a couple of hours and check out the new Lego store in our capital city, the first in the state.  And they can watch trailers along the way: Doomsday, Spider-Man, and even the scary Jessica Chastain movie.   Listen to this episode (and the 390+ that came before it) and perhaps you, too, can fix Guys of a Certain Age.  

Jessica Chastain pitches Simon Kinberg an all-female Mission Impossible on the set of Dark Phoenix, and the result stars Chastain, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong'o, and Fan Bingbing chasing a drive that can hack anything on Earth (“like ghosts in a machine”). On paper: perfect. On screen: a movie that went to the trope store and said, I'll take one of everything. Silent helicopter? Check. Give us the room? CHECK.Greg explains why he loves this movie more than probably anybody besides Simon Kinberg and will rewatch it every other year for the rest of his life. Joe blames the writing. Together, they try to figure out how a cast this stacked made a movie with a 24% on Rotten Tomatoes… And an 86% from the audience.

Editor Katie McQuerrey has collaborated with Joel and Ethan Coen on several significant films over the past 25 years, including Intolerable Cruelty, No Country for Old Men, A Serious Man, True Grit, and Inside Llewyn Davis. Their partnership began during the Coens' transition from film to digital – a period that also saw major changes to their editing process and suite. Katie's work transcends a unique range of genres and styles. Her credits include Matthew Barney's six-hour opera film River of Fundament; the road films Driveways and Wanderland; Roger Waters' concert documentaries Roger Waters: The Wall (2014) and Us + Them (2019); X, the short film directed by Josh Brolin; Naked Singularity, starring John Boyega; and Asphalt City (formerly Black Flies), starring Sean Penn, Tye Sheridan, and Michael Pitt. Asphalt City marked her third collaboration with director Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, following Punk and A Prayer Before Dawn. In television, Katie has also edited episodes of Human Giant, the cult classic The Andy Milonakis Show, and George & Tammy. Her most recent project, De Gaulle: Résistance, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2026. Directed by Antonin Baudry and starring Simon Abkarian as Charles de Gaulle, the film chronicles de Gaulle's emergence as one of the defining military and political figures of World War II France. Adapted by Baudry and Bérénice Vila from Julian Jackson's biography A Certain Idea of France: The Life of Charles de Gaulle, Résistance is the first installment of an ambitious two-part epic, preceding De Gaulle: Liberté, which opened theatrically across France on June 26, 2026. In our conversation, we discussed Katie's multicultural background; the profound impact of seeing Apocalypse Now at a young age; her path to becoming one of Hollywood's most sought-after editors and collaborating with Joel and Ethan Coen; and her experience editing De Gaulle through an international post-production process spanning France and the United States.Opening Credits: Pierce Murphy - Persimmon I CC BY; Pierce Murphy - Among The Stars I CC BY.

Meghan Markle's MasterChef Australia episode drops this weekend, and the internet has already decided she's at war with the show's most beloved judge. But dig into who's actually behind these headlines and the whole thing starts to smell like a very familiar beat-up.Then we're giving Marvel some tough love. The first Avengers Doomsday trailer is finally here, it's stacked with more cameos than we can count, and yet we walked away worried. We're getting into the return no one asked for, the "lazy" storytelling loophole, and whether this can possibly live up to Endgame.Plus the horror trailer that made our whole team scream — a contortionist ghost, a Jessica Chastain double, and a jump scare so inventive we've been forcing it on everyone we know.

Pack your bags and prepare for a cinematic voyage of mythical proportions! This week on The Filmlosophers, Hosts Eddie and Spencer, alongside the ever-glorious Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy, are taking a massive journey through history, mythology, and the pop culture news cycle. Trailers, Layoffs, & Comic-Con Before the crew sets sail for Ithaca, they tackle a wildly jam-packed week of movie news. With the Mecca of nerd and pop culture officially underway, Amy kicks things off by sharing her biggest expectations, most anticipated panels, and overall hopes for San Diego Comic-Con. From there, the table shifts to the unfortunate reality of the recent Disney and Pixar workforce reductions, questioning the industry logic behind cutting over a hundred Pixar jobs just as Toy Story 5 prepares to cross the billion-dollar mark at the global box office. The conversation then pivots to the massive trailer drops that shook the internet this week. The trio analyzes the Earth-bound, notably space-lacking footage of Avengers: Doomsday, featuring Robert Downey Jr.'s highly anticipated return as Doctor Doom. Shifting from superhero spectacles to sheer terror, Eddie breaks down the digital marketing analytics and campaign performance metrics driving the viral success of the traumatizing trailer for Jessica Chastain's Other Mommy. An IMAX Epic: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey Once the news desk is cleared, the team delves deep into their grand review of Christopher Nolan's sprawling, $250 million R-rated adaptation of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. The crew discusses the sheer magnitude of Nolan's unique storytelling, echoing the widespread praise that this film is a visceral, must-see theatrical experience. The Filmlosophers marvel at the film's magical practical effects, emphasizing how the historic decision to shoot the entire feature on IMAX 70mm film elevates the terrifying reality of the mythical creatures and the perilous Mediterranean journey. The hosts also spotlight the impeccable score and the astounding ensemble performances, particularly praising Matt Damon's complex, wily portrayal of Odysseus and Tom Holland's desperate determination as Telemachus. With its grounded take on ancient Greek mythology, the crew sets the stage for a masterpiece that will undoubtedly go down in history as one of Nolan's absolute greatest achievements.

OTHER MOMMY JUST UNLOCKED A WHOLE NEW FEAR. Roxy Striar and Tara Erickson give their Other Mommy trailer reaction and first-look review, breaking down Jessica Chastain's terrifying new horror movie, the kitchen-table jump scare, and the mystery behind a child who claims an identical “other mommy” is visiting her home. In this Reel Rejects Other Mommy reaction, Tara and Roxy discuss director Rob Savage's 2026 adaptation of Josh Malerman's acclaimed horror novel Incidents Around the House, produced by James Wan's Atomic Monster and Blumhouse. From the unsettling “you were in my heart” line and Jessica Chastain's unnatural tears to the Other Mommy kitchen-table jump scare that made Tara completely lose it, this could be one of the scariest theater trailers of 2026. We discuss whether the Other Mommy is a ghost, clone, secret twin, or something even more sinister, along with the cast, the trailer reportedly playing before The Odyssey, and the movie's October 2026 release date.

The Interstellar (2014) Movie Review has finally landed on Born to Watch, the movie review podcast where we don't take ourselves or the movies too seriously, and this week Whitey, Damo and the G-Man strap themselves into the Endurance to tackle one of Christopher Nolan's most ambitious films.Love it, hate it, or spend three hours trying to figure out what a tesseract actually is, there's no denying that Interstellar is one of the most talked-about science fiction films ever made.Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine and an unforgettable surprise appearance from Matt Damon, Interstellar blends emotional family drama with mind-bending science in a way very few films have attempted before. Black holes, wormholes, time dilation, gravity, fifth dimensions and Hans Zimmer's thunderous score all combine to create a cinematic experience unlike anything else.The boys break down whether Christopher Nolan's space epic deserves its place among the greatest films ever made or asks just a little too much of its audience.Whitey shares why this remains one of the most emotional cinema experiences of his life and admits that even after multiple viewings, he still discovers new details every time. Damo dives deep into the science behind the film, the incredible soundtrack from Hans Zimmer and why this is a movie that rewards repeat watches. Meanwhile, G-Man experiences Interstellar for the very first time, proving that even a three-hour runtime can't stop Nolan from delivering one unforgettable ride.Of course, this wouldn't be Born to Watch without plenty of laughs along the way.The boys debate whether anyone actually understands the ending the first time around, discuss the emotional devastation of Cooper's relationship with Murph, marvel at Nolan's practical filmmaking techniques and question whether they'd leave their own family behind if they were humanity's last hope.There's plenty of appreciation for Matthew McConaughey's career-best performance, Anne Hathaway's emotional turn, Jessica Chastain's incredible work as the adult Murph, and Matt Damon's unforgettable heel turn, which completely changes the direction of the film.As always, the crew dive into the IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes scores, compares Interstellar against some of the greatest science fiction films ever made, revisits the incredible year that was 2014 in cinema and discusses Christopher Nolan's unbelievable run of films, including Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception and Interstellar.Expect plenty of discussion around Hans Zimmer's legendary score, practical visual effects that still hold up over a decade later and why Interstellar continues to inspire audiences every time it's re-released on the biggest screens possible.Naturally, the famous Born to Watch segments return, including Overs and Unders, Critical Thinking, Ordinary People, Hit, Sleeper, Dud, The Snorbs Report, Quickfire Questions and plenty more movie nonsense that somehow still makes perfect sense.Whether you've watched Interstellar once or twenty times, or you're still trying to work out exactly what happened inside the tesseract, this episode is packed with laughs, passionate movie discussion and enough Christopher Nolan appreciation to make even Professor Brand proud.So grab your headphones, set your coordinates beyond Saturn and join the crew for one of the biggest movie discussions we've ever had.Join the conversation! What did you think of Interstellar? Is it Christopher Nolan's greatest achievement? Does Hans Zimmer deliver the greatest movie score of the modern era? Let us know your thoughts across our social channels, and don't forget to subscribe, leave a review and share Born to Watch with your fellow movie lovers.#Interstellar #ChristopherNolan #MatthewMcConaughey #HansZimmer #MovieReview #BornToWatchPodcast #SciFiMovies #FilmPodcast #Interstellar2014 #MoviePodcast

Terrence Malik has written and directed The Tree of Life, a sprawling story that starts in the 1960s, jumps to present-day and then goes back to the birth of the universe. And that's just in the first few minutes of the film. Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain are the O'Briens, a couple that learns their teenage son has died. Over the years it appears that they still haven't quite gotten over the loss. We go back and forth through their lives and see how their divergent philosophies shaped their son. We're making it sound complex, but it's actually not and you'll come away from the film with a good feeling. COMING ATTRACTIONS: In our next episode we look at the first of a couple of careers cut short; one by choice and the other, not. Reel 94 will feature Grace Kelly and her performances in Rear Window and To Catch a Thief. Join us, won't you?

Send us Fan MailOn this 120th episode of the Triple FFF we're going to chip away at the rock solid box office pairing of Author Andy Weir and screenwriter Drew Goddard as we discuss their two sci fi smash hits, 2015's The Martian  directed by Ridley Scott and starringMatt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Michael Peña, Sean Bean, Kate Mara, Sebastian Stan, MacKenzie Davis, Donald Glover, and Jeff Daniels along with 2026's Project Hail Mary directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Millerstarring Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller and James Ortiz as the lovable and wacky alien Rocky. Returning to the show to discuss these crowd-pleasing and visually spectacular space epics is none other than Dr. David Johnson, DMD, whom I've called upon as a secret weapon in the last three films we've discussed because they were squarely in his wheelhouse: dancing and strutting his stuff with Michael, putting on a tough fit with Prada 1 & 2 and now his biggest passion and strength, HARD SCIENCE.  Before we drift into deep space, the synopses: In the Martian, astronaut Mark Watney is impaled and presumed dead during a wicked Martian storm which causes his crew of astronaut/explorers  to launch an emergency evacuation. Alive, wounded and alone on Mars Watney must use science, engineering, and endurance to survive long enough for Earth to mount an impossible rescue mission. In Project Hail Mary, Ryland Grace, a lone astronaut suffering from memory loss, awakens aboard a spacecraft on a desperate deep-space mission and gradually discovers he is humanity's last hope against a cosmic extinction event. Along the way, he encounters an alien astronaut from another species sent on a similar mission to protect its own civilization. Can the two work together to save their respective planets? Are these films fabulous or fails? Find out!  Watch the podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/KqQbMzJx6wY

In 2011, director Tate Taylor adapted Kathryn Stockett's bestselling novel into a feature film with an all-star cast including Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Emma Stone, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jessica Chastain, Allison Janney, Cicely Tyson, and Sissy Spacek all getting a piece of the pie. Set among upper-class white families in early 1960s Jackson, Mississippi, aspiring journalist Skeeter (Stone) chronicles the lives of the black maids who play pivotal roles in running households and raising children, against the backdrop of segregation and the struggle for civil rights. The film sliced off a decadent $222 million against its $25 million budget, and scored multiple Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Actress (Davis) and two nods for Best Supporting Actress for Chastain and Spencer, with the latter actress taking home the statue. However, the film left a bad taste in some critics' mouths, who called out "white savior" tropes and the film's playbook "awards bait" scripting. Now we're taking out our notebooks, pouring ourselves a glass of sweet tea, and washing down a second helping of dessert for The Help!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

The movie adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, “Project Hail Mary” is a big box office hit. However, the first movie adaptation of a Andy Weir novel, that was a big box office hit, was “The Martian” starring Matt Damon in 2015. That's what I'm retro reviewing this week. Damon plays astronaut/botanist Mark Watney, who's part of a NASA mission on Mars. His team has to suddenly evacuate Mars and Mark is killed, or so his crew thinks. Surprise! He's alive and the movie becomes all about the mission to save Mark. Is it worth finding out what happens next enough to watch this? Find out on this episode of Movies Merica Live! “The Martian” also stars Jessica Chastain, Michael Pena, Chiewetel Ejiofor, Jeff Daniels, Kate Mara, Kristen Wiig, Sebastian Stan, Sean Bean, Aksel Hennie, Benedict Wong, Mackenzie Davis and Donald Glover. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook

Join me on the couch in Molly Bloom's hotel room at the Four Seasons in downtown Toronto.  Molly began her career as a world-class skier, but while training as a pre-teen was diagnosed with severe scoliosis. Her doctor told her she could never ski again, but even as a pre-teen Molly had incredible strength of mind and she ended up back on the slopes only a year after her surgery.    By age 21, she was ranked #3 in North America. She then took off to LA and began running one of the most exclusive, high-stakes, underground poker games in the world, featuring players like Alex Rodriguez, Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, and was raking in millions of dollars per year. Then what happened? The feds went after her! The mafia went after her! And there was a dramatic takedown. While awaiting sentencing, she wrote her life's story in her memoir, Molly's Game. That book became a bestseller and was turned into a movie written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, writer of The West Wing and The Social Network, starring Jessica Chastain (as Molly), Idris Elba, and Kevin Costner.   Molly has been featured on Ellen, NPR, LA Times, VICE, and many more. But beneath the surface is a story that, as she says in this chapter, has never been shared before.    There was a journey happening inside Molly that forced her to look at the downsides of her ambition and addictive personality.    So get into something comfy, grab a seat between us, and let's talk about life altering public defeat, how a memoir transforms into an action-packed Hollywood feature, the liberty in losing everything, finding the 'monetizable asset' in your life, and Molly's 3 most formative books.    Let's flip the page back to Chapter 42 now....

“The movie is a prayer,” says Bryan Zahnd, about Terrence Mallick's 2011 The Tree of Life, his favorite movie of all time. Bryan has seen it forty times (I have seen it three times); Bryan has taken his pastoral team from his Missouri Church to see it; he has shown it to his Congregation in Church. The film follows a family in Texas in the 1950s. Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain are the parents; they have three sons. Sean Penn plays the oldest boy when he is grown in the 1980s. It's a sermon on theodicy, creation, eschatology, all of it, all of it. And it's just very beautiful and interesting. If you've not seen it, go see it first, and then come back and talk it over with us! Pastor Byran's website.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. With the Academy Awards coming up, this week we are featuring films that were nominated for Best Picture in any year that ended in a “6”. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “The Martian” from 2015 starring Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor & Michael Pena.

Today's guest, Denise Woods, has been the 'voice behind the voice' for Hollywood's most celebrated performers for over twenty years. As a dialect and vocal coach, she has contributed to Oscar- and Tony-winning performances.   Beyond Hollywood, Denise has been the secret weapon for Fortune 500 executives, broadcast journalists, and elite athletes transitioning to broadcasting careers. Her client list reads like a who's who of entertainment—from Jessica Chastain to Queen Latifah, from Anthony Mackie to Maggie Gyllenhaal.   Denise is also committed to giving disenfranchised voices the courage and tools to tell their stories by dismantling fear, shame, and trauma. As a graduate and the first African-American female faculty member of Juilliard's Drama Division, she's breaking barriers while helping others find their power. Her book, The Power of Voice, captures this transformative approach to finding and using your authentic voice.   In this episode, we'll explore: Why embracing your authentic light is essential to mastery The reason true expertise means embracing "I don't know" How non-conformity fuels artistic excellence, and why Denise thrives as a co-creator and collaborator The spiritual and intentional approach to preparation that allows authentic voices to emerge Her current favorites: Book: Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, Speaker: Michelle Obama, Podcast: Trevor Noah's What Now?

Daniel also offers his Single Take on Oscar winner Jessica Chastain in the erotic drama Dreams.

This week, the hosts dive into His & Hers, the Netflix series adapted from the popular novel. They break down the twists, turns, and tangled relationships at the center of this messy murder mystery while raising a few questions about the plot along the way. From unreliable narrators to layered motives, the conversation balances critique with curiosity as the ladies unpack what worked, what confused them, and why the story was still fun to dissect. It is a lively, thoughtful discussion that leans into the chaos and keeps things entertaining from start to finish. Cheers!*

Candace Owens has a new theory about who killed Charlie Kirk. Let's see if this has legs. Apple has postponed their show The Savant, a show about a federal agent who's great at infiltrating right wing terror organizations. It's based on a true story, so you know it totally reflects reality and doesn't exaggerate the existence of right wing violence in America. Jessica Chastain responded. We have an update on the Dallas ICE shooting. Bill Richmond stops by to give us an update on big cases coming up for the Trump administration.GUEST: Josh Firestine | Bill RichmondLink to today's sources: https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/sources-september-25-2025Buy the OG Mug Club Mug on Crowder Shop now! https://crowdershop.com/products/og-mug-club-mugJoin Pure Talk Wireless for $25 a month and get unlimited talk, text and 5 gigs of data on America's most dependable 5G network.Go to http://www.puretalk.com/Crowder today for 50% off your first month!DOWNLOAD THE RUMBLE APP TODAY: https://rumble.com/our-appsJoin Rumble Premium to watch this show every day! http://louderwithcrowder.com/PremiumGet your favorite LWC gear: https://crowdershop.com/Bite-Sized Content: https://rumble.com/c/CrowderBitsSubscribe to my podcast: https://rss.com/podcasts/louder-with-crowder/FOLLOW ME: Website: https://louderwithcrowder.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/scrowder Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/louderwithcrowder Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stevencrowderofficialMusic by @Pogo
