Podcast appearances and mentions of Lee Enterprises

“Disclosure Day” and “The Odyssey” are expected to dominate the summer box office, but they’re not quite here. Instead, we’ve been left with an underwhelming start to the summer movie season to go with the conclusion of several seasons and series of streaming favorites. On this week’s episode, co-host Bruce Miller shares his thoughts on movies that missed the mark, from “Power Ballad” to “The Breadwinner” to “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.” And then there is another movie with low expectations:  “Masters of the Universe.” Co-host Terry Lipshetz shares his thoughts on the conclusions of “Euphoria,” “Beef,” “Half Man,” “The Testaments,” and “For All Mankind,” before turning to the start of the latter’s spinoff, “Star City.” About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, managing editor of the National Newsroom for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin.

Sports programming can go beyond the games. Shows like HBO's NFL series "Hard Knocks" and the recent Netflix ice dancing show "Glitter & Gold" tell compelling stories. With the World Cup coming into view, Tubi has entered the sports documentary space with "Destination World Cup," a show featuring three soccer players — Marc Cucurella, Harry Wilson and Weston McKennie — as they work to secure roster spots for the sport's biggest tournament. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller talks with McKennie about his career and the state of the sport in the United States.

"James Bond" is the longest-running and most successful spy film series, with 25 movies released by Eon Productions since 1962. "Mission: Impossible" doesn't have quite as many films with eight to date, but you also have the long-running 1960s television show. The latest challenger to the genre hasn't been around quite as long, but the series of "Jack Ryan" films, taken from or inspired by Tom Clancy's novels, has been going strong since Alec Baldwin starred in 1990's "The Hunt for Red October." After four more movies starring Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine in the role of Jack Ryan, John Krasinski reprised the role for the streaming series on Amazon Prime Video. Now, Krasinski is bringing his Jack Ryan to theaters with "Jack Ryan: Ghost War." In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller speaks with director Andrew Bernstein, co-star Michael Kelly and stars, writer and producer Krasinski, as well as co-star Sienna Miller. Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz also talk about the history of the series and spy movies in general.

There is something to be said about the opportunities that come with independent films. Actors can shift behind the camera or into other roles not typically available in more mainstream productions. That’s the case with “Neglected,” an independent project from David Lipper, who wrote, directed and produced the film to go along with an acting role in the movie. In this week’s episode, hear from Lipper as well as his co-star Elena Sanchez, who both share their thoughts on the movie. That interview from co-host Bruce Miller is followed by another with Josh Duhamel and Dylan Sprouse, who also co-star in the film. Duhamel is best known for his Daytime Emmy-winning role on “All My Children” and for appearances in four of the “Transformers” movies. Sprouse has had a number of roles with his twin brother, Cole, in shows like “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” and “Grace Under Fire,” but has more recently found success on his own.

Summer isn’t just for blockbuster movies. Whereas network television traditionally went into hibernation by late May, in the age of streaming, where content is king, fresh TV programming is needed 12 months a year. Right now, there is plenty to choose from. One of the big ones is the next offering from “Baby Reindeer” creator and star Richard Gadd, who returns with a new limited series titled “Half Man,” a drama starring Jamie Bell. Also returning to the small screen is Kate Hudson, who is back for the second season of “Running Point,” in which she runs the family’s pro basketball team. There is yet another “Yellowstone” spinoff with “Dutton Ranch.” Meanwhile, “For All Mankind” is slowly winding down with its fifth season on Apple TV+, but fans won’t have to wait long for something fresh as its spinoff, “Star City,” is due out May 29 on the same platform. On the topic of spinoffs, “The Testaments”—set years after the events of “The Handmaid’s Tale” and continuing its narrative—has been off to a strong start. Also returning is the second season of the now-anthology series “Beef” with Oscar Isaac and his “Inside Llewyn Davis” co-star Carey Mulligan. We discuss these shows and more on this week’s episode.

Does it feel like summer? If not, soon it will be with a nonstop flow of big movies about to hit theaters. There are general formulas that are followed each year. You have a music biopic in "Michael." There are movies with numbers in their titles, like "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and "Toy Story 5." There are always superhero movies, and this year there are plenty, including "Avengers: Doomsday," "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "Supergirl." And, of course, you have big movies from big directors, like Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" and Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day." "Masters of the Universe" looks to bring in the 1980s crowd, but will it hold up? Does "The Odyssey" have enough star power to succeed, or is the classic tale destined to fail? Can "The Mandalorian & Grogu" get the "Star Wars" franchise back on track for Disney? And do we really need a live-action version of “Moana” even though the animated versions remain fresh? Ultimately, summer blockbusters are about movies that you don't want to miss in theaters. Only time will tell if this will be a successful summer.

Tubi or not Tubi? The streaming platform has found an interesting niche of programs, often starring social media influencers. One of the latest programs to drop is "Hive," a horror film featuring "Dancing with the Stars" winner Xochitl Gomez and Aaron Dominguez. Co-host Bruce Miller catches up with the pair. Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz then discuss the latest streaming programs: "Half Man" is a new HBO series from Richard Gadd, who found success with his breakout Netflix limited series "Baby Reindeer." Andie MacDowell is back with the fourth season of the Netflix series "The Way Home." And following the success of the Netflix limited series "Beef," the show has since become an anthology series with a new cast featuring Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan. They co-starred in the movie "Inside Llewyn Davis." The question is whether they can find the same chemistry. Finally, be prepared to hit pause and finish "The Pitt" if you haven't already. The final hour of season two has aired, and we have a spoiler-filled conversation about how things ended and what might be next for the cast.

The final season of "The Handmaid's Tale" wrapped less than a year ago, yet here we are, back inside Gilead. "The Testaments," Hulu's spinoff series based on Margaret Atwood's second novel of the same name, takes viewers several years past the events of the final season. The red cloaks of handmaids are nowhere to be seen. Instead, we follow Plum Girls and Pearl Girls as a new generation of young women navigates this dystopian future, in a show starring Chase Infiniti as Agnes MacKenzie/Hannah Bankole. Infiniti is coming off her starring performance in the Oscar-winning "One Battle After Another." In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller talks with Mattea Conforti (Becka Grove) and Rowan Blanchard (Shunammite), two of the new cast members, who share their thoughts on the current and former series. Additionally, co-host Terry Lipshetz shares his thoughts on the new seasons of "For All Mankind" and "Shrinking," the new film "Project Hail Mary," and AMC's switch from the annual popcorn bucket to its new Popcorn Pass.

Have you ever wondered how differently your life might have been had you made a different decision? AppleTV+ continues to offer an alternative to the 1960s space race, had the Soviets landed on the moon first through "For All Mankind," now in its fifth season. Each season leaps forward about a decade, and in this latest installment, we find our evolving cast of characters firmly entrenched on Mars. This week, co-host Bruce Miller presents a pair of interviews with new additions to the cast: he speaks first with Sean Kaufman and Ruby Cruz, then transitions to a conversation with Ines Asserson and Barrett Carnahan. Additionally, co-host Terry Lipshetz talks about his recent trip to New York City with a group of high school choir and theater students. Stops included the usual tourist traps like Times Square, as well as a vocal clinic and two Broadway shows: "Maybe Happy Ending" and "Hadestown."

Co-host Bruce Miller has been binging a lot of TV. He has seen the final episodes of "The Pitt" and shares that it will be an emotional ride to the end. He's seen "The Comeback" and the new show from Steve Carell, "Rooster," which doesn't live up to some of his past projects. And then there is Reba McEntire, who has moved between music and television throughout her career. She's back with another season of "Happy's Place," another program that brings an ensemble to a bar setting.  In this episode, Pablo Castelblanco, who plays Steve on "Happy's Place," talks with Miller about the show and his background.

This podcast is normally a place to talk movies and streaming shows, but the Olympics provided their own form of drama during the two weeks of the Games that just concluded. You had the 'Quad God' Ilia Malinin falling short of gold. There were the ice dancers — and "Glitter & Gold" stars — Madison Chock and Evan Bates, who took silver following team gold. And there was also Eileen Gu, the American-born freestyle skier competing for China and a major social media influencer. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about the Olympics, their favorite moments, and the Netflix miniseries "Glitter & Gold," which takes viewers behind the scenes and into the world of ice dancing. Miller also shares some of the other shows he's been watching, such as "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins" with Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, the return of "Scrubs" with Zach Braff, season 3 of "The Night Agent" with Gabriel Basso, and season 2 of "Paradise" starring Sterling K. Brown. Finally, we chat about the full trailer of "The Mandalorian & Grogu," which marks are return to theaters for "Star Wars" when it debuts on May 22.

Tubi may not have the same name recognition as Netflix or Hulu, but the streamer continues to offer original content, with several recent programs targeting younger viewers. That's the case with "Kissing Is the Easy Part," an adaptation of a romance novel by Christine Duann. The film stars Paris Berelc and Asher Angel, who both chat with co-host Bruce Miller about the film. Before that, Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz chat about the Winter Olympics, which are in full swing, as well as their interactions with Olympians over the years. Miller also talks about the new miniseries "Love Story," the FX/Hulu program from Ryan Murphy that looks at the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. And finally, Lipshetz not only names off all of the "Bridgerton" characters A through H, but offers his thoughts on the latest season, which recently dropped the first half of season 4 on Netflix with the second half to come at the end of February. This season takes a Cinderella story approach with Benedict and his love interest.

"Melania" is less traditional documentary and more brand rollout, much like what you'd get at a fashion show. While the movie takes a guarded approach and doesn't get too deep into First Lady Melania Trump's backstory, there is still something to be learned. Like the current state of politics, the film has been polarizing. Reviews from traditional film critics have largely been negative, but moviegoers have praised the film. As of this podcast, "Melania" scores 8% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but 99% and "Verified Hot" from the audience.  After the co-hosts discuss the documentary, they shift over to the latest version of "Dracula," this time coming from director Luc Besson ("La Femme Nikita," "Leon: The Professional," "The Fifth Element"). Bruce Miller catches up with Besson as well as stars Caleb Landry Jones (Dracula) and Zoe Bleu (Elisabeta/Mina Murray).

What lengths will you go to maintain good looks? That's central to the plot of Ryan Murphy's new series "The Beauty" on FX and Hulu. The body horror series looks at how a treatment known as "the Beauty" is spreading as a sexually transmitted disease with unintended consequences. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller has a pair of interviews with multiple stars of "The Beauty." First, he speaks with Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, and then he catches up with Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall. Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz then dive into the new "Game of Thrones" spinoff series, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," which takes a different approach from the original and first spinoff, "House of the Dragon." And when it comes to bringing back classics, "The Muppet Show" is coming back, as well as a fourth season of "Ted Lasso." Finally, we talk about the struggles this season for "Saturday Night Live."

If there's one recurring theme each year, it's to expect the unexpected. "Sinners" earned a record 16 nominations for the 98th Academy Awards. And then there was the blockbuster "Wicked: For Good," which was shut out. It was a day of extremes and surprises when the Oscar nominations came out on Thursday. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about the biggest snubs and which films could dominate when statuettes are handed out on Sunday, March 15.

High school popularity has long fueled storylines in teen and coming-of-age movies. Classics like "The Breakfast Club," "Weird Science" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" from John Hughes, as well as recent films like "Napoleon Dynamite," all explore this theme. Tubi's new movie, "How to Lose a Popularity Contest," tackles the topic of popularity in a film that stars influencer Chase Hudson and co-star Sara Waisglass. You can hear from them in an interview with co-host Bruce Miller. We also talk about the new addition to the "Star Trek" franchise with the start of "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy."

The Golden Globes honor both film and television, but network TV shows have largely been excluded from major awards in recent years. "Abbott Elementary" remains a rare network contender versus streaming giants like HBO, Netflix and Apple TV. Although ultimately overlooked, it was the only network nominee for Best Television Series in the drama, musical or comedy, or limited series categories. On this week's episode, hear from Chris Perfetti, one of the stars of the ABC comedy "Abbott Elementary."

Co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz are back for another season of Streamed & Screened, and the pair waste no time diving into some of the biggest topics. There is a bit of controversy surrounding "Song Sung Blue." "Stranger Things" comes to an end with a strong ending compared to final episodes of other big franchises like "Game of Thrones" and "Seinfeld." "Avatar: Fire and Ash" came out at the end of the 2025 and felt a lot like its predecessor, leaving us to wonder what's next for a franchise that has at least two more movies in the works. We also catch up Ginnifer Goodwin, who returns as Judy Hopps in "Zootopia 2," before discussing new programs coming for HBO including "The Pitt," two "Game of Thrones" series and the return of "Euphoria."

Your Nebraska Update headlines for today, Dec. 31, include: A child in Platte County has been diagnosed with measles, the second known case in Nebraska this year and the first cases reported in the state in eight years. Health officials say the unvaccinated child may have exposed others at a church and a hospital in Columbus, NU regent plans to resign from the Board of Regents following a crash earlier this year in Omaha, where she was accused of driving drunk, State Sen. Dan McKeon continues to deny allegations of misconduct involving a legislative staffer and suggests Gov. Jim Pillen interfered with a vote to boot him from the Legislature, Gov. Pillen's administration outlines how it plans to offset decreased tax revenue amid a budget shortfall, Nebraska's minimum wage rises to $15 an hour on Jan. 1, a new law regulating how online platforms design content for children takes effect, Lee Enterprises announces the sudden retirement of its president and CEO and new $50 million investment into the company, and Gifford Farm in Bellevue expands agricultural education with a $100,000 grant.

This week, we're sharing something a bit different: Scott Milfred joins Richard Kyte and Scott Rada on "The Ethical Life," Lee Enterprises' podcast exploring ethical questions in contemporary life. Instead of the usual Center Stage format, you'll hear Milfred as a guest in a three-way conversation about predictions, accountability and what the year ahead might bring. The discussion ranges across politics, technology, sports and health care — examining not just what could happen in 2025, but why we're drawn to forecasting in the first place and what last year's predictions reveal about how we think about the future. If you're looking for the regular Center Stage interview format, we'll be back to that soon. But if you're curious to hear Milfred in a different setting, wrestling with bigger questions about uncertainty and how we make sense of what's coming, give this one a listen.

Episode 227: As the calendar turns and uncertainty once again shapes politics, technology and everyday life, The Ethical Life returns to a familiar exercise: looking ahead while holding the past accountable. Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada are joined by Scott Milfred, Lee Enterprises’ national opinion editor, for a wide-ranging conversation about what the coming year may hold — and what last year’s confident calls reveal about the limits, temptations and value of prediction. The episode spans politics, pro sports, technology and health care, with the hosts weighing which forces are likely to drive headlines and which may quietly fade. Along the way, they examine how incentives, public trust and unintended consequences shape outcomes long after predictions are made. Before closing, the hosts revisit the six forecasts offered one year ago, assessing what proved prescient and what missed the mark.

We've reached the end of the year, and with 2026 coming into view, now is the perfect time to review the best of the best from 2025. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz share their favorite movies and television shows from the year. Not only will their picks help you get ready for the Golden Globes and Oscars, but there are plenty of unique choices to help you enjoy the offbeat along the way.

Rob Reiner's tragic death marks the end of a remarkable career that brought us beloved films from "This is Spinal Tap" to "Stand by Me" to "The Princess Bride" to "A Few Good Men," just to name a few. And of course, beyond filmmaking, Reiner will be remembered for his most iconic comedic role as Mike Stivic (or Meathead as father-in-law Archie Bunker called him) on "All in the Family." On this episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz discuss Reiner's legacy, including his most memorable films and appearances. Then, Miller shares an interview he had with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, stars of the new film "Song Sung Blue," which could be this year's go-to movie during the holiday season.

What stories do the 2026 Golden Globe nominations tell? "Wicked: For Good" couldn't get a nomination for best motion picture-musical or comedy. Timothée Chalamet might be an Oscar favorite for his performance in "Marty Supreme." Rose Byrne could be someone to watch for best actress thanks to a strong effort in "If I Had Leg's I'd Kick You." Jeremy Allen White probably won't win a pair of best actor awards, but he did score nominations for his film portrayal of Bruce Springsteen as well as his series "The Bear." Regardless of what happens, we did get a bit of a sneak preview into what might get love when Oscar nominations come on Jan. 22. We also discuss season 2 of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" on Disney+. Bruce Miller has multiple interviews with the stars, including Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Dior Goodjohn (Clarisse La Rue), Charlie Bushnell (Luke Castellan), Daniel Diemer (Tyson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood).

Studios love to hold movies back until the end of the year to sneak into awards conversations. "Song Sung Blue" with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with "Marty Supreme" starring Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, are among the films trying to catch the attention of critics. Another film that hits a similar chord is "Sentimental Value," the latest film from Joachim Trier starring Renate Reinsve, Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller catches up with Trier about the film and his overall style that allows his films to "say enough, but not too much." We also talk about the first batch of episodes of "Stranger Things," which released the first half of its season in time for the Thanksgiving break. Co-host Terry Lipshetz watched the episodes with his family and shares his thoughts about the final run.

Tubi is the latest streaming service to find its niche in original programming. After the success of "Sidelined: The QB and Me" in 2024, director Justin Wu was back at it with "Sidelined 2: Intercepted." Is a "Sidelined 3" in the works? Could there be an extended universe for this romantic comedy series aimed at older teens and young adults that stars TikTok influencer Noah Beck? (And for the Gen X crowd, the movie also stars James Van Der Beek of "Dawson's Creek" and "Varsity Blues" fame.) Bruce Miller has interviews with Wu and stars Roan Curtis, Charlie Gillespie and Drew Ray Tanner.  Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz also talk "Wicked," Broadway shows in New York, "The Beast in Me" and more!

Episode 222: When a city planner mentioned that a large, developable tract of land might contain Native American artifacts, cohost Scott Rada started wondering how communities decide which parts of the past are worth protecting — and what the costs of preservation might be for the present. This week’s episode examines the tension between honoring cultural heritage and addressing pressing human needs, such as housing. Rada and co-host Richard Kyte unpack the ethical dilemmas that surface when new development projects run up against the remnants of older civilizations. Rada argues that while respect for the past matters, society’s first responsibility should be to the living — to families who need homes, jobs and public spaces now. He questions whether stopping or slowing modern projects for the sake of long-buried artifacts truly serves anyone. Kyte counters that the choice isn’t always binary. He suggests that reverence for the dead and care for the living can coexist, and that certain places — burial grounds, ceremonial sites or historically significant landscapes — deserve deliberate protection, even if doing so requires compromise or delay. Their exchange touches on Wisconsin’s effigy and burial mounds, the ethics of archaeology and how public policy shapes what gets preserved. Kyte points out that housing shortages typically stem from decades of zoning failures, rather than from the small number of sites deemed sacred or historically valuable. Rada pushes back, asking whether reverence for what once was can sometimes become an excuse for inaction. The conversation widens to include broader cultural questions: Why do humans feel compelled to memorialize the dead? What promises do cemeteries represent to future generations? And how long should those promises last — centuries, millennia, forever? Kyte argues that physical reminders of our ancestors keep societies grounded in gratitude and perspective. Rada wonders whether our fixation on physical places distracts us from the spiritual or emotional connections that endure regardless of location. About the hosts Scott Rada is a digital strategist with Lee Enterprises, and Richard Kyte is the director of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He is also the author of "Finding Your Third Place: Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way)."

One of the most anticipated sequels of the year is here with "Wicked: For Good," and the film did not disappoint, earning an opening weekend of $150,000,000 at the box office.

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.

"The Office" became one of the most beloved series of the early 2000s, and while Steve Carell isn't reprising his Michael Scott character, the show gets new life in a way with "The Paper." In this spinoff film, Domhnall Gleeson plays Ned Sampson, editor of the "Toledo Truth Teller." The newspaper, which is struggling, also happens to be owned by Dunder Mifflin and the show brings Oscar Nunez along to reprise his role as accountant Oscar Martinez.  In this episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz discuss the new show, how it compares to the current state of journalism, and some of the classic journalism movies and shows of all time from "Lou Grant" to the unrelated movie "The Paper" to the classic films "All the Presidents Men" and "Spotlight."
