July 29, 2026 was a heartbreaking day for music lovers, as we learned of the sudden and tragic death of Irish singer/songwriter Glen Hansard.  His breakthrough performances in the 2007 film 'Once' are always front of mind for movie lovers, but Emilio was fortunate enough to have a core musical memory care of Hansard himself.  That moment turned into a casual friendship for several years, where Hansard and his musician friends became a great source of encouragement to pursue a career in music.  Even this podcast has its roots in the presence Glen played in Emilio's life.  Though he is no longer with us, Hansard's music and his huge heart live on, and will continue humbling and inspiring us for years to come.  If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

Heyo, the boys are back and ready to get up in your bidness by jabbering on about 2 movies.

They also get into how college campuses are pushing students to vote for progressive candidates.

Mi compa Cristian "Filmico" Briones llegó a la casa estudio con la firme intención de grabar una conversación CON SPOILERS de la gran serie Widow's Bay (La maldición de Widow's Bay, 2026) que pueden ver en Apple+. Sin embargo, estuvimos casi una hora hablando de OTRAS COSAS y del estreno en cines de la semana Power Ballad (Letras robadas, 2026), una nueva comedia/romántica/prácticamente musical del ya consagrado John Carney, a quien tal vez recuerde de películas como Once (2009), Begin Again (2013) y Sing Street (2016). Si vio esas películas ya sabe cómo se viene la mano: Personajes entrañables que son músicos, mucho amor por la música y las personas, risas, etc. Finalmente entramos en la discusión sobre Widow's Bay y lo hacemos con spoilers, así que escuche a discreción (nota: al momento de la grabación, todavía nos faltaban los dos últimos episodios, así que los spoilers llegan hasta ahí). Recuerde que puede adquiriri lo mejor del formato físico en cine y series en www.filmico.tv Y suscribirse al Patreon para tener pre-estrenos, material exclusivo, archivo y mucho más: www.patreon.com/hermeselsabio

Larry Kudlow and his guests analyze a shift in the American economic landscape marked by improving inflation indicators despite "ugly" headline numbers. The panel highlights a significant drop in commodity prices, particularly gold and oil, as a signal that the underlying inflationary pressure is cooling and may soon give way to non-inflationary growth. A central theme of the discussion is the expected leadership of new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, whom the experts hope will abandon "forward guidance" in favor of a data-dependent approach that does not view economic expansion as an inherent threat to price stability.

In New York, Mayor Zohran Mamdani is rallying for a World Cup watch party. Governor Hochul is holding the line against ICE agents in NYC, though that could get tricky with Border Czar Tom Homan pushing to send them in.

Larry Kudlow and John Carney argue that a robust manufacturing revival is the primary driver of the current American economic boom. They contend that the traditional focus on consumer spending is misguided, asserting instead that business profits and productivity are the true "lifeblood" that create jobs and fuel wage growth for blue-collar workers. The discussion emphasizes that supply-side policies, such as tax reductions on overtime and regulatory easing, have incentivized increased labor and output, particularly within the durable goods sector. Furthermore, the speakers frame reciprocity in trade and the strategic use of tariffs as essential tools for national security, ensuring the United States is no longer dependent on adversaries for critical materials.

Rick (Rudd) is a wedding band singer in Ireland and Danny (Jonas) is a former boy band member. They collaborate on a song that Rick wrote a few years ago, but Rick later finds out that Danny is trying to pass off the song as his own.

Things get awkward on this week's Empire Podcast, folks. Not just because Chris Hewitt seems to be wearing a Skeletor mask for some of it, nor because he's so heat-addled that he forgets to introduce James Dyer properly. No, things get awkward because the team – Chris, James, Helen O'Hara, and Ben Travis – discuss whether it ever gets awkward for them when visiting film sets. Then, our intrepid quartet also discuss the week's movie news, including the shocking news of Paddington 4's potty-mouthed writers, and review Daniel Roher's Tuner, John Carney's Power Ballad, Kane Parsons' Backrooms, and Kristin Scott Thomas' directorial debut, My Mother's Wedding. Oh, and Chris sits down for a lovely chat with Leo Woodall, star of the excellent Tuner, and discovers that Woodall has some hidden talents. Enjoy!

Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas are pushing themselves with their new film, POWER BALLAD. For Rudd, it's his first serious singing role in a film. For Jonas, it's a role that on the surface would seem familiar (a former boy band star) but pushes him to new dramatic heights. Here the two join Josh alongside their director John Carney (ONCE) to talk about collaboration, inspiration, motivation, and more. POWER BALLAD opens in select theaters 5/29 and nationwide 6/5. Tickets are now on sale. Watch on Spotify. If you're subscribed to Spotify Premium, you don't get any Spotify ads on my video. SUPPORT THE SHOW BY SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS!
