Nick is joined by film critic Erik Childress (with Steve Prokopy off this week) to dig into a fresh slate of movie releases. They cover Paul Thomas Anderson's ambitious new epic One Battle After Another starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, Matthew McConaughey's The Lost Bus, Eleanor the Great with June Squibb directed by Scarlett Johansson, and Emma Thompson's icy new thriller Dead of Winter. Later, Esmeralda Leon teams up with Nick to respond to a listener complaint about their mail-order catalog talk, before diving headfirst into the world of embarrassing side projects from big-name stars. From Robert De Niro slumming it in Rocky and Bullwinkle, to Joe Pesci crooning as his My Cousin Vinny character, to the glorious disaster that is Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, they unpack the weird detours that even the most talented people can't live down.

What does the title of “highest-grossing actor of all time” actually mean for a Hollywood star? For Scarlett Johansson, who currently holds that position, it means directing her first feature film without any pressure of achieving box office success. In her directorial debut, “Eleanor The Great,” there's not an explosion or sex scene in sight, and the lead role is played by 95-year-old actor June Squibb. During this year's Toronto International Film Festival, Scarlett dropped by to talk about her new film, working with the late Robert Redford, and why she doesn't and has never used social media.

Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy play a little catch-up this week but also replay their early review of Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, opening this week in case any of you missed it. Before that though they talk about a tribute to an iconic cult film celebrating its 50th anniversary (Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror). Gabriel Byrne reexamines his troubled life (Death of a Ladies Man) while Renny Harlin delivers the sequel to his horror reboot (The Strangers: Chapter Two) and Jordan Peele produces a very confused horror film about football (Him). If Emma Thompson with a Fargo accent trying to thwart a kidnapping on a frozen lake is more your speed they have you covered (Dead of Winter). Or maybe its about June Squibb lying about being a Holocaust survivor in Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut (Eleanor the Great).

Filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson once again proves to be one of the world's top filmmakers with his thinking man's action thriller, "One Battle After Another." Inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel "Vineland," Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn star in a spellbinding, entertaining and profane tale involving wannabe revolutionaries, racism, military corruption, secret political cabals...and much more. Smart and masterfully made, "One Battle After Another” easily one of the year's best movies. Parents with preschool girls know that "Gabby's Dollhouse" is the partly live-action, partly animated Netflix series about a girl who shrinks herself to doll size for adventures with her tiny doll pals. The theatrical version "Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie" works surprisingly well thanks to imaginative art direction and a funny performance by Kristen Wiig as a cat-obsessed villainess. While squarely aimed at the tots, it's pleasantly painless for parents. The dark action thriller "Dead of Winter" stars Emma Thompson as a woman ice fishing in remote Minnesota who stumbles upon a ramshackle cabin where a strange couple have kidnapped a young woman. It's so well acted that one can almost forgive how unrelentingly grim it is. “Dead of Winter” is suspenseful but mostly unpleasant and implausible. With her directorial debut, Scarlett Johansson shows she's been paying attention. Ninety-five-year-old June Squibb stars in the touching story of a woman who pretends to be a Holocaust survivor, befriending a teenager enamored with her and her bogus story. Squibb and young Erin Kellyman are excellent in “Eleanor the Great,” a sweet-natured comic drama about the results of questionable choices.

There have been a number of big summer movies like "F1: The Movie," "Superman" and "Jurrassic World: Rebirth." But these popcorn movies are not likely destined for big awards.

Les, Kurt, and Jason are back, and Kurt announces he's about to do something to upset Les: he plans to do a show ON book. Ultimately, Les thinks it's acceptable, but Jason thinks it may be a sex cult. Jason is quite confused, though, about this week's Blac Chyna / Tokyo Toni news about Finesse2Types feuding with 50 Cent (or something like that). Plus, June Squibb is headed to Broadway, and both Lifetime and Hallmark are doing layoffs! Despite the layoffs, Lifetime delivered a solid move with “I'll Never Let You Go.” Much to Kurt's chagrin, it features an often shirtless antagonist (no complaints from Les or Jason, though), who is clingy AF in spite of the fact that the woman who had the affair with him may very well just be bad in bed while her boss is very definitely bad at business.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 11:00 I watched Paradise with Sterling K. Brown on Hulu and didn't like how it ended. Chandra felt the same way about Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. I love The Pitt on HBO. We've both been watching Severance and love the performances. Chandra is watching The White Lotus and recommends Court of Gold on Netflix. I watched Heretic but don't recommend it. Oscars: Minutes 11:00 to 19:00 We had the Oscars this week and Chandra's favorite movie, Anora, won the most awards. We're glad Mikey Madison won for best actress over Demi Moore. Demi won plenty of awards and didn't go home empty handed. I wish that June Squibb was nominated for best actress for Thelma, my favorite movie of 2024. It takes a ton of money to campaign for an Oscar. Royals: Minutes 19:00 to 36:30 Since we last recorded we had the Invictus Games in Canada and Duchess Meghan's show With Love, Meghan came out. Last week, before the release of With Love, Meghan, Kate and William visited Wales and were such obvious copy-keens. They visited a cake shop and “made” cakes and Kate was sure to mention her jam and said she'd give the recipe to someone. Then we got a weaksauce story from a royal expert claiming Kate didn't marry for a title, but Meghan did. There's been a real silence from the palace as they figure out how to copy Meghan. I remember when Kate copied Meghan's Zoom background. With Love, Meghan is a sweet comfort watch where she makes food and does crafts with her friends. I've watched the first five episodes so far. Chandra has watched the whole thing and loves the episodes with Roy Choi and Vicky Tsai. It was cute to see Meghan interact with her friend Abigail Spencer. We talk about some of our favorite recipes including the salted fish and fried chicken. We recorded this episode before the news that With Love, Meghan got a second season. Chandra wants Roy Choi to go on again. She thinks the vocal critics of the show have never watched a cooking or lifestyle show. The critics want Meghan to be all things at once. In season two we hope they don't change things too much and just make little tweaks. Meghan was very smart this week about her PR including being on the cover of People. I play a segment from Zoom where we talked about With Love, Meghan. Comments of the week: 36:30 to end Kaiser's comment of the week is from EmpressCakey on the post about Ione Skye's new memoir. My comment of the week is from Jess on the post about Jennifer Garner thinking Ben Affleck has a dark side.  Thanks for listening bitches!

June Squibb is a legend. She's a legend with a slew of stage experience, dozens and dozens of film and TV credits to her name, and an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Nebraska. However, it wasn't until just now, in her 90s, that she finally scored her first lead role in a film, Josh Margolin's feature directorial debut, Thelma. An absurdity, in my opinion. But, that's not how Squibb looks at it. As she noted during our Collider Ladies Night conversation, “It's never occurred to me that what I was doing was not the most important role in the film.” This year, however, the most important role in the film put her at #1 on the call sheet.Not only did Squibb finally get the chance to headline a film, but she plays the title character in one of the best movies of 2024. In Thelma, Squibb plays Thelma Post, a 93-year-old woman living alone in Los Angeles. Her grandson, Danny (Fred Hechinger), checks on her often, but not often enough to stop her from giving up $10,000 in a scam. Determined to fix the mistake herself, Thelma sets off with her friend Ben (Richard Roundtree) and his scooter to track down her money.After celebrating its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and amassing a slew of wildly positive reviews leading up to its summer 2024 release, Thelma is now in the midst of an awards season push, specifically for Squibb's lead performance. While celebrating Thelma's success, Squibb visited the Collider Ladies Night studio to walk us through her journey from stage to screen, and to discuss what it was like finally getting the opportunity to headline a movie.

Thelma is a heartwarming and inspiring action comedy about Thelma Post, a 93-year-old woman who falls victim to a phone scam and loses $10,000. Determined to reclaim her money, Thelma embarks on a thrilling adventure with her friend Ben (Richard Roundtree) on his borrowed mobility scooter across Los Angeles. As Thelma, June Squibb captivates with her portrayal of a feisty and independent senior citizen out for justice and redemption. Thelma challenges ageist stereotypes and inspires viewers to realize that they can fight back against injustice at any age. Director and writer Josh Margolin's masterful storytelling and keen eye for detail bring Thelma's journey to life. He wrote the script from a place of love and admiration for his own grandmother, and enjoyed playing with action adventure elements. Josh admired cinematographer David Bolen's documentary film, Some Kind of Heaven, which used a natural and humanistic style. “In making this movie, it was so important to me to find a partner who saw Thelma the way I saw it and wanted to bring a filmic look to it, but also be able to have fun with it,” says Josh. David found the script incredibly relatable, since he also has a special relationship with his grandmother. He knew exactly how he wanted to approach the visual language of Thelma. With a background in shooting documentaries, David wanted Thelma's world to feel real, so that audiences would emphasize with her life. “Documentaries have really influenced how I film narrative work,” he says. “I think it's important for things not to feel overly lit or over the top. I'm chasing that feeling of realism and that subjectivity that a documentary can bring.” David chose to shoot on the ARRI Alexa 35, which was brand new at the time. During preproduction, David found the camera responded well to natural street light and shooting in nighttime conditions, since a good part of the film takes place at night. With only a 25 day shoot, Josh and David created an extremely detailed shotlist. Josh was very aware that working with older actors meant that the production needed to work within their capabilities. The production team kept everything intimate and small, and the set felt like a close-knit family. “The logistics of it were challenging on this film,” says Josh. “It was a quick schedule and you are with elderly actors. So, you know, as capable as June is, and as amazing as she is, you don't want to do a bunch of takes on something.” He felt confident that they could adapt on the fly and adjust to practical realities of certain moments. “On the page, everything is one way, and then the second you're doing it, things change,” says Josh. “I think doing a lot of homework and also being able to be nimble was really helpful for shooting an indie in L.A.” Josh, who also edited Thelma, did not make the deadline to submit for the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, but it allowed him the luxury of a long postproduction process and screenings for friends and colleagues. Once he submitted the film to Sundance for 2024 consideration, Josh felt pessimistic about their chances. But not only did Thelma get into the festival, it was given a world premiere screening. Shortly after, Magnolia Pictures picked it up for distribution.

She began acting at age nine and continued to work steadily through adolescence and beyond, making films alongside industry legends like Robert Redford and taking on increasingly ambitious roles like the titular character in Girl With the Pearl Earring. Her career climbed to new heights in the last decade, as she was nominated for Academy Awards for the films Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story, and played the lethal superhero Black Widow in the Marvel movie franchise. But after years as an accomplished actress, she knew that she wanted to expand her horizons and use some of her hard-earned expertise for her own projects. She then founded her own production company, These Pictures, and in 2022, co-founded the skincare company, The Outset, to provide solutions for adult acne and other skin issues that had plagued her for years. The brand, which launched on Amazon and QVC earlier this year, has come to be known for its effective ingredients and simple, nonirritating formulas.

Thelma Unleashed: June Squibb and Richard Roundtree's Epic Final Ride – A Tale of Grit, Humor, and Defiance at 93, Interview with “Thelma” writer-director Josh Margolin The Not Old Better Show Interview Series Welcome to a special episode of the Not Old Better Show, sponsored by MDHearing and Prolon. where we dive into the poignant action-comedy film that is taking audiences by storm: "Thelma." This feature film directorial debut from our guest today Josh Margolin and  showcases the incredible talents of veteran Oscar® nominee June Squibb, in her first leading role, and the legendary Richard Roundtree, in his final performance. "Thelma" is not just a film; it's a celebration of resilience, humor, and the unyielding spirit of the elderly.  Thelma opens world wide on June 21 In "Thelma," June Squibb brings to life a feisty 93-year-old grandmother, Thelma Post, who finds herself the victim of a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, played by Fred Hechinger from "The White Lotus." Refusing to be seen as helpless, Thelma embarks on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles to reclaim her stolen $10,000. Her journey is hilariously action-packed and heartwarming, as she enlists the help of her old friend Ben, portrayed by the iconic Richard Roundtree. Together, they navigate the city on a motorized scooter, facing obstacles that would challenge even the likes of Ethan Hunt from "Mission: Impossible." This film, inspired by a real-life incident involving Margolin's own grandmother, cleverly adapts action tropes to highlight the strength and agency of its elderly protagonist. Margolin's script resonates with infectious humor and a touching narrative, earning rave reviews at this year's Sundance Film Festival for its fresh take on familiar genres and its sensitive portrayal of aging. June Squibb's portrayal of Thelma is nothing short of remarkable. Known for her early career as a dancer and singer, Squibb embraced the physicality of the role, performing most of her own stunts—including high-speed scooter chases and rolling across beds with a gun in hand—all while channeling the fierce determination of her character. Her connection to Thelma's sense of justice is deeply personal, shaped by her lifelong ethos of right and wrong, and her late husband's belief that she could have made an excellent cop. The chemistry between Squibb and Roundtree is palpable, bringing to life a story filled with laughter, grit, and a profound sense of companionship. Margolin's casting choice was driven by Squibb's perfect blend of strength and vulnerability, humor and understatement—qualities that mirror his own grandmother's indomitable spirit. As we explore this extraordinary film, we also ponder the possibilities of a sequel. After all, every great action hero deserves a franchise. Join us as we delve into the making of "Thelma," the remarkable performances of its cast, and the inspiring messages it conveys about aging with dignity and determination.
