The Mark Thompson Show Hour 4 (6.11) In the 9 pm hour of The Mark Thompson Show, supermodel and author Susan Holmes McKagan joins Mark and Tim for a fantastic conversation about her new novel “The Velvet Rose.” She opens up about getting discovered at just 16, living the wild supermodel life in early ’90s New York, walking for fashion powerhouses like Chanel, Guess, Dolce & Gabbana and Armani, and somehow avoiding the full-blown party scene. Susan also shares the charming fairytale story of how she met and married Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan — one of the best rock ‘n’ roll meet-cutes ever — and discusses her exciting second act as a novelist. The hour wraps with voice coach to the stars Roger Love, who has worked with Bradley Cooper, Eminem, Gwen Stefani, Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Def Leppard, and many more. Roger talks about his most rewarding work helping people overcome stuttering and his powerful new documentary “Finding Your Voice.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mark Thompson Show Hour 2 (6.11) We’re back with the endlessly fascinating supermodel and author Susan Holmes McKagan, who walked for Chanel, Guess, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, and pretty much every major designer on the planet. The big question: How the hell did she not turn into a full-blown party girl in that world? Mark covers the chaotic car meetup bust in the LA Riverbed near Cypress Park — nearly 90 arrests and 72 vehicles towed — right as FIFA World Cup fever kicks off with Mexico vs South Africa. Then voice coach to the stars Roger Love joins the show. He’s worked with Bradley Cooper, Eminem, Gwen Stefani, Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, and Def Leppard, but his proudest achievement might be helping people overcome stuttering, which he dives into with his new documentary “Finding Your Voice.” To close it out, Mark Thompson is losing his mind over a full-blown rat infestation in his attic — the little bastards have turned his place into a rodent hotel and are destroying his gorgeous hardwood floors. Classic KFI chaos. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you forgot to add this important event to your calendars, Spike Jonze's 2013 sci-fi film, Her, was actually set in 2025. Ryan and Grant watched the Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson vehicle now that we're just past that date to see what it got right and wrong. They discuss where Jonze thought we would be versus where we are with generative AI, societal isolation, relationships — and whether the movie is really "one of the best science fiction movies of all-time."

This transcript explores the Infinite Plane Society's critical analysis of modern conspiracy theories, media manipulation, and the blurring lines between reality and fiction. The speaker critiques Christian pastors and influencers who claim secret government knowledge regarding alien disclosure, dismissing these narratives as state-sponsored psyops or “clout-chasing.” By examining Hollywood archetypes, the text suggests that cinema and news act as a “New Testament” used to program public perception through esoteric symbolism. The discussion further addresses internet censorship, arguing that recent platform bans are premeditated strikes designed to control the narrative of upcoming global events. Ultimately, the source advocates for a philosophy of informed disbelief, urging listeners to recognize patterns of deception within a rigged media system.The Pastor “Secret Meeting” Psyop: Pastors are claiming they attended a secret government meeting to prepare their congregations for a massive disclosure regarding non-terrestrial, interdimensional beings that are supposedly biblical angels.Quote: “The first rule of this secret meeting about something that's going to change the world is to talk about it on X.”Hollywood Archetype Casting: The sources argue that major celebrities are cast to embody deep esoteric archetypes, such as Michael Jackson and Joaquin Phoenix as Christ figures, or Ed Harris as a “Demiurge” character.Quote: “Instead of like typecasting, archetype casting refers to beyond just their superficial characteristics... what deeper symbolism can they embody what can they put into the subtext.”Predictive Programming and 9/11: Significant media, including The Matrix and James Cameron's Titanic, supposedly contains coded references to 9/11 and other “future” events, suggesting a scripted reality.Quote: “The movie screen is the Overton window and anything they put on the movie screen is now in the public's frame of reference and they are prepared to accept it.”The “Pre-Purge” Censorship: The recent deletion of independent channels like Tim Truth and the IPS is viewed as premeditated “pre-purging” to ensure total narrative control over an upcoming major event, possibly involving nukes or UFOs.Quote: “I think they are pre purging Because they want to have total creative control over what they do next and I think it has something to do with nukes and UFOs.”Informed Disbelief vs. Media Religion: The speaker differentiates between “low information believers” who follow mainstream or alternative news and “informed non-believers” who use skepticism as a mental immune system.Quote: “Informed disbelief the skeptics view and we're not even talking agnosticism we're talking about Gnosticism knowing as much as we possibly can about something as opposed to low information accepting it.”Trump as a Scripted Archetype: Donald Trump is analyzed not just as a politician but as a solar “divine sun king” or “Apollyon” archetype, with his career mirroring predictive programming themes of time travel and assassination.Quote: “The Christification of Trump, the martyrdom of Trump goes deep... the overlapping of the filming of Joker and the Trump on trial really stood out to me as more than coincidence.”Critique of Gematria: The use of “number magic” by atheists to decode the news is described as a Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy that manufactures intricate but fake connections.Quote: “The conspiracy theorists who use number magic are applying the same system but they're doing it to the news... connections that they make, which are fake, are so intricate and statistically just impossible.”

Anything in life can happen in a show and every clown gets to build a mountain on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake presents Sinister Six. Tonight, Jonathan and Dan are musically inclined inmates at Arkham Asylum as they get lost in the madness that is Todd Phillips's  Joker: Folie a Deux (2024).

With returning stars to the sinister stew like Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, (one doesn't deserve the sinister association IMO) if only our friends could see us now. All the aspects of this salacious sequel will be thoroughly examined before we take the stand! Jonathan's untrained voice and Dan's obsession with late night television hosts.

Send us Fan MailARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED (by our podcast)?!  We are starting a new theme this week and this time it's "all roads lead to Rome".  If you're unfamiliar with the phrase it is a proverb that means there are many different ways (or paths, methods, or approaches) to reach the same goal, destination, or conclusion. It emphasizes that the end result is what matters, not the specific route taken—whether in problem-solving, achieving success, or arriving at a particular outcome.Taking the theme as literally as possible, we start the cycle with Gladiator.  Starring Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix we follow a former Roman General who sets out to exact vengeance against the corrupt emperor who murdered his family and sent him into slavery.So grab your sword and your sandals and join us for this weeks episode.

After the impossible high of director, Ari Aster's debut, Hereditary, for me the follow-up Midsommar was a complete miss. Since then he's posted two take no prisoners art-house triumphs, Beau is Afraid and this equally wild but very different meta-western. The most analogous film to One Battle After Another and just about as good. Ari is one of the greatest out there right now as is his lead actor Joaquin Phoenix, in one of his finest and most unknowable roles.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Brent and Dennis spend yet another segment talking about a review of the Klipsch ProMedia Lumina Speakers, but this time it's a super-in-depth review from Erin's Audio Corner—one that dives deep into territory Brent was too lazy to explore. Then they share their thoughts about Darko's latest article bemoaning the glut of cheap audio product reviews on YouTube, and whether or not decades of messing around with audio gear will give you the chops to tell a $300 amp from a $3,000 amp. Finally, they wonder if Apple's new AirPods Max 2 headphones are a significant-enough upgrade to deserve another digit—and puzzle over what marketing people mean when they say something's “1.5 times better.”

Send us Fan MailA warm beer, a cold opening week, and then the emotional whiplash of two movies that won't let us stay comfortable. We start with the simple stuff we love, Mets Opening Day traditions, season-ticket routines, and why we sometimes just want entertainment that feels easy to pick up and enjoy. That's also why the Crimson Desert discourse grabs us: if a game takes eight hours before it “clicks,” is that depth or unnecessary friction?Then we get personal with film talk. Lost in Translation becomes our lens for expatriate loneliness, quiet friendship, and the way Sofia Coppola lets meaning live in pauses instead of plot twists. We dig into Bill Murray's understated comedy, Scarlett Johansson's divisive character beats, and why the ending can feel either honest or maddening depending on what you want from a story.From there we step into the unsettled territory of Her. Spike Jonze turns AI romance into a mirror for modern relationships, attachment, and emotional dependence, and we don't dodge how uncomfortable that can be. We connect it to sci-fi history like Star Trek, argue about how fast “AI emotions” should evolve, and unpack the gut-punch moment that turns love into impossible math.If you like smart movie analysis, big feelings, and the occasional baseball rant, hit play.

Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir went from releasing indie-classical solo cello albums, to becoming an awards-magnet film composer, with BAFTAs, GRAMMYs, and an Academy Award for her score to the Joaquin Phoenix-starring Joker to her name. She calls 2026 her ‘monster' year, which has seen her score 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and the Maggie Gyllenhaal-directed The Bride. She chats to Headliner about working on these idiosyncratic films back to back, her long-awaited upcoming return to the stage this year, and why Cubase is key to her work.

The Oscars may have come and gone, the speeches have been made, and the dust has (mostly) settled—but here at Ticket Stubs, we're not quite finished with 2025 just yet.

Join us as we take one last affectionate look back at the highs, lows, and, above all else, the most memorable moments in film from the past year. From defining performances and standout directorial efforts to our favorite oddball distinctions, returning legends, and everything in between, we sort through a wide array of categories both heartfelt and slightly irreverent. As always, it all builds toward our ultimate honors: Filmmaker of the Year and Film of the Year. Awards season may have crowned its winners—but now it's our turn to have the final say.

[School of Movies 2026] A surprisingly personal and tender show, dealing with some difficult subject matter comes out of this criminally forgotten 1989 Ron Howard family comedy drama. It was a staple of my childhood and looking back, it seems like I took on board a great deal of the life lessons experienced by the amazing ensemble cast of the Buckman Megafamily, which include Steve Martin, Mary Steenburgen, Diane Wiest, Rick Moranis, Harleyy Kozak, Tom Hulce, Martha Plimpton, Jason Robards and stellar performances from both a young Keanu Reeves and Joaquin Phoenix. Whether you're a parent yourself or not, you had someone appointed with the task of looking after you when you were a child, and whether they did a good, bad or mixed bag of a job, chances are you're going to find something in here to relate to. Definitely one to listen to when you can give it time to absorb, and my god, watch this movie!

Retired Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins brings you the best in mob history through his unique perspective on the mafia. In this episode of Gangland Wire, Gary Jenkins welcomes an unusual guest from the world of organized crime storytelling—cartoonist Brett Juliano, creator of the Dust Bunny Mafia comic series. Instead of traditional books or documentaries, Brett tells real Mafia stories through short, three-panel comics featuring his unique cartoon characters while staying grounded in historical research and documented sources. Brett explains how his lifelong interest in animation and storytelling evolved into a project that blends true crime history with visual humor and commentary. After moving to Chicago, he became fascinated with the city's underworld history and began transforming real mob stories into illustrated comic strips that challenge Hollywood myths and highlight lesser-known facts about organized crime. His work draws on true crime books, FBI files, court transcripts, and podcasts, including Gangland Wire itself. Each comic strip distills a real historical moment into a visual gag or ironic twist that reveals the strange reality behind mob legends. Gary and Brett discuss several Dust Bunny Mafia comics and the real events behind them: The “Sicilian Flu” Courtroom Act A humorous look at a tactic sometimes used by mob figures: appearing frail in court to gain sympathy or delay proceedings. Wiseguys who were partying the night before might suddenly appear in a wheelchair, wrapped in blankets or hooked to oxygen tanks when they walked into court. Lucky Luciano and the Myth of “Lucky” Brett examines the legendary story that Charles “Lucky” Luciano got his nickname after surviving a brutal kidnapping and beating. His comic plays with the idea that mobsters often exaggerated their own legends—especially when trying to impress people. The Kansas City Mob Search – Carl “Tuffy” DeLuna One comic comes directly from Gary Jenkins' own experience investigating the Kansas City mob. When police searched DeLuna's home in 1979, the mobster calmly offered coffee and eventually led investigators straight to the basement, where incriminating notes were stored. The scene shows how, sometimes, the truth of organized crime investigations is stranger than fiction. Bugsy Siegel in Rainy Portland Another comic explores the obscure story of Bugsy Siegel visiting Portland to meet local crime boss Al Winters, only to endure two straight weeks of rain—highlighting the contrast between Hollywood-style mob glamour and the less glamorous reality of underworld negotiations. A New Graphic Anthology on Kickstarter Brett is now launching a major new collection of his comics titled: “Family Business: An Offer You Can't Refuse.” The book will include: 130+ pages of full-color comics More than 230 true crime strips Historical commentary explaining the real story behind each comic Additional artwork parodying mob businesses and underworld culture The project will be funded through a Kickstarter campaign beginning March 24, with the finished book expected to ship later in the year once printing is completed.

This week we cover Ari Aster's "Eddinton". Released in 2025 and starring Pedro Pascal, Joaquin Phoenix, Luke Grimes, Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Deirdre O'Connel and Michael Ward, and set in Aster's hometown during 2020 at the height of COVID-19. We discuss how timing is everything, Phoenix might not be a great person in real life, and how this movie stands out as a director trying to say something without saying anything at all.Guest LinksLeft of the Projector LinksOfficial WebsiteLeft of the Projector on InstagramLeft of the Projector on PatreonLeft of the Projector on ThreadlessHost LinksEvan's LetterboxdBill's InstagramBill's LetterboxdWard's InstagramWard's Letterboxd

Send a textWith Episode 8, our hosts put their Gray Days behind them, wrapping the short Season 16 with THE IMMIGRANT (2013), or as it was a.k.a.'ed during its short development and prior to its delayed release “Low Life” and “The Nightingale.”  James Gray teams back up with cowriter Richard Menello to write a period drama role explicitly for Marion Cotillard whom Gray met through her then-partner director Guillaume Canet during their work together on the oft-mentioned Blood Ties also released in 2013. The story follows the hard luck of Cotillard's titular immigrant as her likewise Polish emigre sister is confined to a medical ward on Ellis Island during immigration while Cotillard's Ewa Cybulska is offered an opportunity to remain in the States through the kindness of Joaquin Phoenix playing a pimp and former child immigrant named Bruno Weiss in the actor's fourth and to-date final Gray film role. Cotillard's immigrant forms a brief love triangle with Jeremy Renner's magician and brother-to-Bruno character Orlando The Magician until he ***SPOILER*** runs off to Iraq to defuse bombs as one of the Avengers who just shoots arrows or something. J/k. It's a Gray film. You know someone is going to die. Maybe it's the magician. Maybe it's the sister. Maybe both. Stay awake to find out, or give this episode a listen.   This episode, Harvey Weinstein returns; Ken tries renaming the podcast; Ryan and Thomas are spot on in their estimation of the film; and our boys rank the eight-film oeuvre on The Gray Scale.     Next week, we're on smoko but will return with Hacks (mild pun intended; Surgeon General's warning: do not consume the first episode of Season 17 if you're preggers).    THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Dr. Jim interviews Dr. Julia Sheffield, professor at Vanderbilt University and clinician specializing in psychotic and delusional disorders. She discusses her research and her interview with The New York Times on how AI chatbots may unintentionally reinforce or contribute to delusional thinking.Dr. Sheffield explains how AI can mirror and amplify distorted beliefs by bypassing reality testing, raising concerns about vulnerable users forming unhealthy attachments — reminiscent of Her starring Joaquin Phoenix where a man falls in love with a bot and slowly loses his grounding.Invoking the image of being “10 feet tall” — a nod to - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - people ask Dr. Sheffield how not to fall into the rabbit hole. How altered perception, magnified meaning, and distorted reality can take hold in both human psychology and AI-mediated experience.Dr. Sheffield frames psychosis on a spectrum and challenges the field's overreliance on the medical model, emphasizing that therapy can be highly effective. She calls for clinicians to engage more confidently with this often-avoided yet deeply treatable population.A timely conversation at the intersection of AI, attachment, delusion, and reality.Credits:River is High, Ticketless TravelerCarl Reisman, guitar, singer, and songwriterJenny Goodwine, vocalsJames Singleton, bassJohnny Vidocovich, drumsDave Easley, steel guitarProduced by Morgan Orion Reismanfor more information, carlreisman@gmail.comCopyright 2025WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here

CW: This episode contains discussion of sexual assault and violence, including abuse of minors, in relation to recent revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Listener discretion advised.   Some Big News Weeks led us to a slightly unwieldy conversation about several topics alongside Joel Schumacher's 1999 thriller 8mm. Written by Se7en scribe Andrew Keving Walker and boasting a rich ensemble cast including Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, Catherine Keener, James Gandolfini, and Peter Stormare, the film explores elite depravity, snuff films, and the dark core of the American dream where desperate people's lives become a commodity. We first begin with some thoughts on recent events at the Berlin Film Festival and offer our definitive answer to the question on everyone's lips, "Is cinema political?" Then, we venture into Schumacher's film, a not-very-good grisly crime thriller with some resonant considerations about the brutalization of young women within the machinery of capital. Finally, we share some personal thoughts on the most recent releases from the Epstein Files, what they tell us about the nature of power in the world, and offer up an alternative movie title for those thinking more deeply about the case's reverberations. Get access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish. 

Send a textTWO LOVERS (2008)For Season 16, Episode 7, writer-director James Gray gets geometric with TWO LOVERS (2008), his third of four collabs with Joaquin Phoenix whom he puts into a love triangle with Gray's only film to-date starring Gwyneth Paltrow or Vinessa Shaw.  Gray leaves his crime trilogy behind with this contemporary piece focusing on the family and loves of Phoenix's Leonard Kraditor, a manic-depressive pixie dream boy working for and living with his parents after a suicide attempt. Leonard finds himself caught between his id (depicted by Paltrow's equally pixie Michelle Rausch) and superego (depicted by Shaw's Sandra Cohen). Isabella Rossellini in a relatively (slight pun intended) quiet performance plays Leonard's mother while Israeli actor Moni Moshonov reprises his father-figure role from We Own the Night to play Leonard's father.    For those enjoying the home version this season, the following Gray Bingo squares may be covered: 1) silent opening, 2) NYC, 3) Jewish family, 4) bare breast, 5) club scene, and 6) failed plan to escape to warmer climates.   Guest Andi joins to betray her Southern roots by speaking when she has nothing polite to say as she ranks the half of Gray's filmography she's watched. Host Ken this episode does extra credit, having not only watched two prior film adaptations of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's short story “White Nights” but also researches cowriter Richard Menello and charts multiple love triangles in this film and throughout the films TGTPTU has covered. Cohost Ryan reveals his odd sense of humor. And cohost Thomas provides a list of terms defining people and what they love.   These four on mic this week are split in half for their enjoyment of the film. Next ep, the stunning conclusion to Going Gray (working title) and the genre reveal of Season 17. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Steve Cohen is the best at Hedge funding. So why did the Mets not overpay for Edwin Diaz? How good is Big Mac at math? The Chicago Bears could not figure out how to stay in Chicago? Sounds like the new stadium will be moving out of the state. Plus, how good was The Joker with Joaquin Phoenix? Bob Costas helps Craig understand why there are a limited amount of Captains in Major League Baseball. Plus, lets all celebrate the Women's USA Hockey team winning the Gold Medal in OT and we find out how to actually pronounce Luis Robert Jr.'s name.

Your friends in podcasting discuss Netflix's (perhaps misleading) embrace of movie theaters, they celebrate the resurrection of Todd Hayne's seemingly dead but now forthcoming detective film (with Pedro Pascal replacing Joaquin Phoenix), and an upcoming movie starring Simon Pegg, Sofia Boutella and Quentin Tarantino.

Send us a textWe Own the NightFor Season 16 Episode 5, TGTPTU dives deep into what writer-director James Gray considers the conclusion of his NYC crime trilogy WE OWN THE NIGHT (2007) while also starting the first of two planned sizzurp episodes with host Ken sick and sipping on some strong cold medicine. And joining this top to the third temporal pincer™️ pairing is special guest and inveterate bookworm Shannon.   For his third film, and second time being booed at Cannes (Harvey Scissorhands' cut of The Yards being the occasion for his first), Gray after seven years in development had his first financial success with his unique, untrademarked combination of family drama, crime, and Greek tragedy. Together again but reversing roles from The Yards, Mark Wahlberg plays supporting as Cpt Joe Grusinsky while Joaquin Phoenix takes the lead as night club manager Bobby Green/Grusinsky. That slash becomes important as Bobby has adopted his dead mother's surname prior to the start of the movie to distance himself from his brother Joe and their Deputy Chief cop daddy Burt Grusinsky, played by Robert Duvall. When Brother Captain Joe's pursuit of a drug smuggler leads to his family being targeted by the Russian Mob who are also owners of Bobby's club and his surrogate family, Bobby's different last name comes in handy as he goes undercover for the po-po.   Oh, and it's a period piece occurring in the late-80s set in NYC, so cover those squares on your Gray bingo card.   This ep, guest Shannon bumps on overwritten cop dialogue culled from Gray's NYPD ride-alongs; former co-host Jack weighs in off-mic on Gray's best use of CGI for rain during the car chase scene; Ryan suggests this is the last Phoenix role before he became too fussy, and Ken suggests it's the last of Wahlberg actually being interesting while effectively suppressing a cough; Ryan questions the merits of the temporal pincer movement being applied to Gray's filmography; and Thomas considers it his favorite Gray film of the five he's watched.   THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

On this episode of Cinema D'Amore, Chuck and Justin dive into Ari Aster's Eddington, a COVID-era small-town pressure cooker where civic order, online hysteria, and personal grievance collide. What begins as a grounded portrait of pandemic anxiety gradually mutates into something far more unstable… and violent. They break down Joaquin Phoenix's deliberately abrasive sheriff, Pedro Pascal's smooth but slippery mayoral rival, and how misinformation, social media performance, and moral absolutism rot the town from the inside out. The conversation zeroes in on Aster's tonal bait-and-switch, the film's shocking final act, and the bleak emotional fallout that refuses easy catharsis. Love it or hate it, Eddington demands a reaction, and Chuck and Justin don't dodge the mess.

Send us a textThe YardsA family crime drama set in New York City with a sick mother, ambivalently abusive father figure, and nudity along with a role for Domenick Lombardozzi (The Wire's Herc)? Get out your James Gray bingo cards, because Season 16 Gray Poop On (working title) persists with TGTPTU continuing in Episode 3 its temporal pincer movement covering the auteur's second film THE YARDS (2000).  Filmed on film in the spring and summer of 1998 but due to studio delays and reshoots not released until the fall of 2000, The Yards stars the still up-and-coming Mark Walburg as Leo Handler just out of jail and being led back into a life of crime by Joaquin Phoenix as Willie Gutierrez, the guy dating and soon betrothed to Leo's cousin and possible love interest Erica Soltz played by a pre-Monster Charlize Theron. This trio of rising stars is supported by a trio of 70s hall of famers (James Caan, Ellen Burstyn, and Faye Dunaway) in a story about NYC train maintenance, government corruption, family loyalties, and the need for proper bannisters.    Cowritten with Matt Reeves (opinions vary) and shot with multiple POV characters, Gray would find the story in the editing room (and subsequent reshoots) by winnowing it down to Walburg's singular perspective only to have that story mollified (or straight-up mauled from Gray's perspective) by a studio-noted happier ending.   This ep, you won't be getting Ken's half-hour discussion with Ryan about Theron's surprising nude scene, but Thomas will provide context for international and homeschool listeners in the U.S., Myanmar, and Liberia. Thank you for choo-choo-choosing to listen. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Send us a textIn Part Two of The Fixate & Binge Podcast's conversation with actor and musician Larry Bagby and BAND ON THE RUN writer-director Jeff Hupp, the focus turns to legacy, collaboration, and the moments that define a creative life.The episode opens with host Joe Curdy offering a quick rundown of what's currently on his radar — including early thoughts on A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, why he's holding out to binge all episodes of season 2 of HBO's THE PITT — followed by his Letterboxd review of the new horror film 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. From there, the discussion returns to Bagby, as he reflects on one of the most beloved chapters of his career: Disney's modern classic HOCUS POCUS. Bagby shares behind-the-scenes memories, the unexpected cultural longevity of the film, and how its enduring popularity reshaped both his career and his connection with audiences. Bagby also pulls back the curtain on working with Academy Award winners Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon in James Mangold's WALK THE LINE. Jeff Hupp remains an essential voice throughout the conversation, offering thoughtful insight into Bagby's creative journey, their shared work on BAND ON THE RUN, and the rare chemistry that develops when actor and filmmaker truly trust one another. Together, Bagby and Hupp reflect on how their collaboration strengthened the film's emotional core — and hint at the possibility of future projects still to come.The episode reaches a special, intimate highlight when Bagby performs a live, original song from BAND ON THE RUN, giving listeners a powerful glimpse into his artistry as both a musician and storyteller.Warm, reflective, and full of heart, Part Two celebrates not only Bagby's enduring career, but also the collaborative spirit between artist and filmmaker — bringing this two-part Fixate & Binge journey to a thoughtful and inspiring close.Please note: Due to minor technical issues during recording, some audio may feature a slight echo — thank you for your patience and understanding.Thank you for listening!
