Podcast appearances and mentions of Lee Enterprises

David Rysdahl has been busy the past few years, but you might not have noticed if you weren't paying attention.  That's not to say his roles have been forgettable — quite the opposite. Rather, Rysdahl has had impactful roles in ensemble casts, whether as chemist Donald Hornig in the blockbuster "Oppenheimer," the loving but passive husband Wayne Lyon in season 5 of "Fargo," or the uneasy scientist Arthur Sylvia in "Alien: Earth." This latest role reunites him with Noah Hawley, the creator and showrunner of both "Fargo" and "Alien: Earth." In this episode, hear from Rysdahl during an interview with co-host Bruce Miller.

"Roots," which debuted in 1977 and had several spinoffs, is the most notable dramatic miniseries to tackle the topic of slavery. Now, Hulu hopes for similar success with "Washington Black," a drama based on the novel of the same name that traces the life of a boy from Barbados to Nova Scotia in the 1800s.  "This is Us" star Sterling K. Brown is a producer on the project and also co-stars as Medwin Harris. Ernest Kingsley Jr. plays George Washington Black, while Eddie Karanja plays the younger version of the character. In this episode, here from Kranja, who recently spoke with co-host Bruce Miller. We also chat about a new reality show "Back to the Frontier" as well as briefly discuss Universal's disappointing new theme park.

Is it safe to get into the water? If "Jaws" taught us anything, it was to be cautious of your surroundings before going for a swim. The Steven Spielberg film is generally considered to be the first big summer blockbuster film, and it celebrates its 50th anniversary this summer. "Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story" looks at how the film changed movies and is the only documentary that includes the particpation of Spielberg. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller talks with director Laurent Bouzereau, who shares his thoughts on the documentary and the history of "Jaws." The show also touches on some of this summer's big blockbusters, ranging from "F1" to "Jurrassic World: Rebirth" to "Superman."

The fourth season of "The Bear" has finally arrived, and it's one you'll not want to miss. Co-host Bruce Miller got access to all episodes before they dropped on Hulu, and the dramatic comedy that is more drama than comedy, has its lighter moments while tugging at your emotions. Then there is the latest entry in the "28 Days Later" film series, this time advancing the post-apocalyptic zombie-horror franchise "28 Years Later." Miller shares his thoughts on the film and its young breakout star, Alfie Williams. Lastly, there is a new show on Amazon's Prime Video that drops July 9. A spinoff of the show "Bosch," "Ballard" stars Maggie Q, John Carroll Lynch and Courtney Taylor. Miller has interviews with them all. Programming note: The show will take a short break for the July 4 holiday, but will return the week of July 13.
