Sean and Amanda start the show by reacting to a handful of recent movie trailers, including Emerald Fennell's ‘Wuthering Heights'—starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi—and Nia DaCosta's ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' (3:33). Then, they unpack Spike Lee's newest film ‘Highest 2 Lowest,' starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky. They explore its very high highs and occasional low lows, Washington's fascinating performance style, and what makes this film so different compared to the rest of Lee's filmography (17:09). Next, they cover Darren Aronofsky's ‘Caught Stealing,' starring Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz; they both found it quite disappointing, to the point that they even discussed whether or not Austin Butler is a “leading man” (39:54). Finally, Sean is joined by the legendary filmmaker Spike Lee to talk about his new movie. Lee reflects on the first time he visited Akira Kurosawa's work and touches on what Kurosawa means to both himself and cinema at large, talks through Denzel Washington's brilliant improvisations in this film and explains why he is—in Lee's opinion—the greatest actor of all time, and explores what is missing from Hollywood and the filmmaking industry right now (1:07:01).

Filmmaker Christopher Jason Bell (Miss Me Yet, Attention Shoppers) joins us to discuss Last Action Hero, a meta action comedy featuring too many ideas, a healthy serving of great jokes, and a fascinating reckoning for its star Arnold Schwarzenegger as he was aging into the second act of his movie star career. We begin with a conversation about the action hero vehicle, its dominance in the 1980s, and its turn to self-reference and parody in the early 1990s. Then, we explore Last Action Hero's bizarre combination of action movie tropes and lighter cartoon comedy logic that makes its satirical targets more difficult to identify. After, we address the ways the film incidentally exonerates itself from some of the more ideologically thorny tendencies of police films by embracing fantasy and drawing attention to its artifice. Finally, we spend some time discussing Chris's latest brilliant and beautiful film Failed State, how its component parts all came together, and what it means to be a filmmaker in our moment of constant crises and social alienation.Follow Christopher Jason Bell on TwitterWatch Chris's films on Means.tv Watch the trailer for Failed StateGet access to all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish

No, you don't. Because you've been saying his name wrong all these years. It's not "den-ZEL" . . . It's "DEN-zuhl". You emphasis the first syllable, and kind of clip the second. It's really not your fault, though. It was actually DEN-zuhl's mother who started calling him den-ZEL. That's because he and his father were both named DEN-zuhl, and she got tired of both of them answering when she called that name. So she changed the pronunciation of her son's name. https://youtu.be/Kql0ltyREJ4· AND FINALLYThe complete celebrity cast of "Dancing with the Stars" Season 34 was announced yesterday on "Good Morning America".

Hi Barbies, hi Kens!Podcast Barbie hosts this very special pink, plastic fantastic episode on the history and legacy of Barbie - the doll and the movie!From her humble beginnings in the late 50s, through various controversies along the way, Barbie has been symbolic of girlhood, and of embracing the idea that girls can be whatever they want to be through play, not just as mothers with babydolls.As Barbie is based on the body of an actual young woman, the idea of a live action Barbie movie made sense. The first attempt was in 1986, and throughout the years, various studios have tried to make a live action Barbie film, while in the background, Barbie has been a staple in animation.It wasn't until real life Producer Barbie, Margot Robbie, contacted Mattel, with her ideas for a meta take on Barbie that Warner Bros started to take notice. Producer Barbie contacted Director Barbie, Greta Gerwig, and together they assembled the brightest and best Barbies in Hollywood to join them to celebrate Barbieland and all their achievements by having Barbie and Ken going to the real world and discovering that Barbieland's version of matriarchy isn't quite the experience of the real world.The Kens, well, they're just Ken.I would love to hear your thoughts on Barbie !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

The Brow Month comes to a roaring, chaotic close with The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese's three-hour carnival of excess, corruption, and quaaludes.We dive into DiCaprio's unhinged performance, Jonah Hill's teeth, Margot Robbie's breakout role, and why this film feels like Marty cutting loose in the wildest way possible. It's loud, it's offensive, it's hilarious, and it's undeniably Scorsese.We also want to note that our good friend Carlos M. De La Torre wasn't able to join us for this episode—he was missed at the table (and probably would've had the best Belfort impression).It's been one hell of a month, and we're closing it out at full throttle.

fWotD Episode 3031: Dance the Night Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 22 August 2025, is Dance the Night."Dance the Night" is a song by English and Albanian singer Dua Lipa from the soundtrack to the fantasy comedy film Barbie (2023). Lipa co-wrote the song with songwriter Caroline Ailin and its producers Andrew Wyatt and Mark Ronson; the Picard Brothers also contributed to production. Atlantic and Warner Records released the song as the soundtrack's lead single on 25 May 2023. A disco, synth-pop, and disco-pop song, it was inspired by a dance sequence in the film and is about always appearing flawless despite heartbreak.Music critics overwhelmingly compared the song's sound to Lipa's second studio album, Future Nostalgia (2020), which was viewed positively by some but left others disappointed. It was nominated for several awards, including Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. "Dance the Night" reached number one in several countries, including the UK, and received multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Poland, and the UK, as well as diamond in France. It also reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100. The music video for "Dance the Night" has a pink theme inspired by the Barbie aesthetic. It intersperses Lipa performing choreographed dances while singing the song with clips of Margot Robbie, Issa Rae, and Emma Mackey dancing at a disco party in the film, featuring a cameo appearance from Barbie's director Greta Gerwig at the end. The video received praise for its playful nature and Lipa's outfit. The song was included as the primary musical motif in the film. In 2024, Lipa sang one line from it while opening the 66th Annual Grammy Awards and performed it in full live for the first time at the Royal Albert Hall.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Friday, 22 August 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Dance the Night on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ayanda.

Margot Robbie brought Barbie to life with the 2023 Barbie movie. It was successfully “femvertised” to women and girls across generations. And not only did they go see the movie, but they made sure that they were seen being a part of Barbie's world. They bought a lot of pink, fast fashion pieces to wear to the theatre and film content with and then, they threw it away. But the problem is that a lot of that fast fashion is plastic. Alexandra Villela says that plastic is forever and the landfill tells the story of that Barbie summer. Plus: Advertising firms are starting to use generative AI to make graphics faster and cheaper. Consumers may soon find themselves wondering what's even real. But one thing's for sure: Meg Michelsen says that consumers want the humans in advertisements to be real. Everything else can be fake. Later in the show: Apple products are the norm now. I have more than I care to admit. And it all began for me in middle school with a G3 iBook. But they were once a counterculture product. Ted Gournelos says that one of the ways that Apple created value for itself was by donating tens of thousands of laptops to public schools in the early 2000s. This created a generation of loyal Apple customers, and parents who had to pay attention to the products their children were begging for.

Every joke, every prop, every scene comes back in a meaningful way.” – Thomas “Harley Quinn isn't just chaos; she has lines she won't cross, and Gunn shows that without hitting you over the head with it.” – Frank “It's violent, it's heartfelt, and it's one of the most James Gunn movies ever made.” – Thomas Call to Action: Enjoyed this breakdown?

The DCEU gets dangerous in David Ayer's Suicide Squad (2016), the explosive and controversial anti-hero team-up that brings together a rogue's gallery of DC villains on a government-sanctioned mission of chaos. With a chaotic tone, gritty visuals, and a killer collection of needledrops featuring tracks from Twenty One Pilots, Imagine Dragons, and Eminem, the film follows the formation of Task Force X—supervillains forced to work together to stop a world-ending threat. Notable moments include Harley Quinn's acrobatic fight scenes, Deadshot's sharpshooting showcase, the Joker's club scene and chemical vat rescue, and the climactic magical showdown against Enchantress. Despite its divisive critical reception, Suicide Squad was a box office hit and remains a key entry in the DC Extended Universe canon—especially for launching Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn into pop culture stardom. Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they react, analyze, and break down all the wild moments, character dynamics, and bombastic action that made Suicide Squad one of the most divisive superhero movies of its time.

What does it take to turn a bold idea into a billion-dollar brand? Julie Wainwright, founder of The RealReal, joins us to share how she did just that—after enduring some pretty public failures (hello, Pets.com). She talks about navigating the startup world, tackling ageism head-on, and why your past doesn't define your future. Julie's story is packed with wisdom on risk-taking, confidence, and what it really means to build something new when everyone else is telling you no. From the boardroom to the resale boutique, she takes us through the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship—plus a few secrets on why luxury goods are more than just a pretty label. Also in the basement: We unpack Jason Zweig's latest Wall Street Journal column on diversification and why it still matters (yes, even in this market). OG learns a Father's Day lesson on the golf course (spoiler: not all swings are created equal). Doug manages to work in Margot Robbie. Again.
