It's not unusual for real-life experiences to serve as an inspiration for a movie. That's the case with "I Don't Understand You," a collaboration between David Joseph Craig and Brian Crano, who wrote and directed the comedy horror starring Nick Kroll, Andrew Rannells and Morgan Spector.

Speaking of horror, Stephen King has long been king of the genre, but some of his less-than-scary stories have made for some great film adaptations, such as "Stand By Me" and "The Shawshank Redeption." The latest, "The Life of Chuck" starring Tom Hiddleston, is gaining a lot of buzz as one of the top films so far this year.

With summer nearly here, we bid farewell to the fall/winter television season, chat up those two series, look to the future of "The Last of Us" and offer thoughts on Tom Cruise's final "Mission." (Or will Ethan Hunt return in the future?) We also look at some of the big trailers for upcoming films, including a reboot of a comedy franchise and how it addresses a controversial actor.

When it comes to theater, New York is the place to be for the biggest shows and stars. While many actors spend careers working in theater, dramas and musicals also offer Hollywood's biggest stars an opportunity to mix things up. Take the current run of "Othello," starring Academy Award winner Denzel Washington and Oscar-nominee Jake Gyllenhaal. George Clooney is performing in "Good Night, and Good Luck," an adaptation of the Oscar-nominated film he co-wrote and directed. There's also "Smash," which is a musical adaptation of the TV series. In this week's episode, co-host Bruce Miller talks about his love for the theater and what he plans to see during a week-long trip to New York.

It wasn't long ago when summer was a time for nonstop action, everything from "Speed" to "Die Hard." There are still plenty of action movies like the next "Mission: Impossible" film along with a new installment in the "Jurassic Park" franchise, but many of the annual entries are tied to comic books and other longstanding franchises. What about new entries into the field? In this episode we talk with Katee Sackhoff, who stars in the new action movie "Fight or Flight," as well as the film's director James Madigan. Sackhoff is no stranger to the action genre, having been involved with several "Star Wars" programs from Disney+. And with action movies, come big stunts. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently announced that a new Oscar category will be introduced for the 100th Academy Awards: Achievement in Stunt Design. We talk about what that means and whether mainstream actors like Tom Cruise could find a new pathway to an Oscar.

Hollywood's biggest stars don't need a side hustle. They get to pick and choose projects and enjoy time off when not working. But what about the typical actor not named Tom Cruise or Scarlett Johansson? Some will get steady work on cruise ships, which can be a good way to get the experience needed for bigger opportunities. But there are other gigs ranging from life coach to florist to personal trainer. On this episode, we talk about the ups and downs of acting, which isn't as glamorous as it may appear. We also talk about "The Accountant 2," which is now in theaters and the huge background cast involved. And one of the biggest movies in theaters right now is 20 years old — the re-release of "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith."

Episode 190: Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada discuss the complex and often uncomfortable topic of what constitutes a "good death" in modern society. They discuss the challenges of medical technology's ability to prolong life, even when the quality of life has significantly diminished. Kyte emphasizes that death is inherently painful, both physically and emotionally, and argues that the focus should be on avoiding unnecessarily prolonged suffering. The hosts explore various aspects of end-of-life care, highlighting the importance of advanced directives and open family conversations. Kyte strongly advocates for individuals to prepare comprehensive end-of-life documents, including appointing a durable power of attorney and clearly communicating personal wishes to family members. A significant portion of the conversation addresses the controversial topic of medical aid in dying. While 10 states currently have laws allowing terminally ill patients to choose medical assistance in ending their lives, Kyte expresses reservations. He believes the medical profession's primary role should be to save lives and relieve suffering, not to end them actively. The hosts also discuss the modern practice of "outsourcing" death care, contrasting current funeral practices with historical approaches where families were more directly involved in preparing and mourning their deceased loved ones. They argued that this distancing has contributed to society's discomfort with discussing death. 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)."
The final season of 'The Handmaid's Tale' arrives, more than two years after the conclusion of the fifth season. While the show aims to wrap the story of June Osborne, fans of the show do have more to look forward to as a spinoff series based on Margaret Atwood's novel "The Testaments" has been given the green light. While no launch date has been given, we know that at least one actor — Ann Dowd who portrayed Aunt Lydia — will return. For now, fans will get to enjoy one last stretch of 10 episodes. In this episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz will talk about the final season and share thoughts about the series as a whole. Miller also shares interviews he had with Max Minghella (Commander Nick Blaine) and newcomer Josh Charles, Amanda Brugel (Rita Blue) and Madeline Brewer (Janine Lindo), and series creator Bruce Miller.

Episode 188: Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada discuss how parents influence their children's understanding of work and career choices, highlighting the delicate balance between guiding and pressuring young people toward professional paths. Drawing from personal experiences, the hosts emphasize the importance of exposing children to diverse career opportunities without forcing predetermined trajectories. Kyte shares a pivotal childhood memory of his mother taking him to a hospital lab, quickly dispelling his romanticized notions of scientific work. This anecdote underscores a key point: children benefit from realistic, first-hand experiences of different professions. The conversation reveals significant shifts in youth employment. Where 60% of high school students worked in 1978, today only about 35% hold jobs. This decline concerns experts who believe early work experiences are crucial for developing responsibility and understanding workplace dynamics. Family businesses emerge as a unique lens for career exposure. The hosts discuss how children of small business owners often gain intimate knowledge of entrepreneurship, though they caution against automatically expecting children to inherit family enterprises. The podcast also addresses socioeconomic factors, acknowledging that teenage employment is an economic necessity for some families rather than a developmental opportunity.
