Podcast appearances and mentions of Matthew B Roberts

We recently had the absolute pleasure of interviewing some of the cast of the Starz hit tv series Outlander through our friends Big Gold Belt Media. Janna sat down with cast members from Season 7 to talk about Part 2 of the season, which premiered Nov 22 on Starz. We chatted with John Bell (Young Ian), Rik Rankin (Roger MacKenzie), Diarmaid Murtagh (Buck MacKenzie), Steven Cree (Ian Murray Sr), Kristin Atherton (Jenny Murray), as well as executive producers and showrunners Maril Davis and Matthew B Roberts.Outlander Season 7 Part 2 is airing Fridays on Starz!Find the video interviews from here: Steven Cree and Kristin Atherton: https://youtu.be/kH-FvneJUYg?si=a7u6KEimu9dW-09BJohn Bell: https://youtu.be/Kvd_vIcTQm4?si=irt8VF_r9L1KpYoa Rik Ranking and Diarmaid Murtagh: https://youtu.be/Li27DGVIUbE?si=jPj7Ts-IPjRvwk-CMaril Davis and Matthew B Roberts: https://youtu.be/ecvdJOdT8t4?si=O4XukrtrfDMfNr7nhttps://www.youtube.com/@BigGoldBeltbiggoldbelt.com

Ce prequel se concentrera sur les parents de notre Jamie Fraser, Ellen MacKenzie et Brian Fraser. On reprend la même équipe créative et on recommence puisque le showrunner Matthew B.

Pour rappel, une conséquence de cette fusion notamment est la suppression complète du film Batgirl (déjà monté) qui devait sortir sur HBO Max avec Leslie Grace et Michael Keaton qui reprenait son rôle de Batman qui selon les décisionnaires n'atteint pas les attentes de qualité promise… Les séries ne sont pas sécurisées non plus. Côté français, OCS devra négocier pour au moins une année supplémentaire les titres HBO disponibles.

We're back to shout about one of our favorite things to shout about: Outlander! We're sharing the things we loved, hated, and loved to hate about Outlander Season 6 (MARK ME, we loved more things than we hated?). From the season that brought us such metaphors as THE-STORM-THE-WAR, we were also given gifts like the Benjamin Moore Outlander collection, throuple plots, justice for Fergus, and Matthew B Roberts' PR exit. Did we need season 6? No. Are were here now? Yes. So pour yourself a giant G&T and enjoy recapping with us!

Cette semaine laisse clairement un goût amer et les nouvelles du monde des séries peuvent sembler anodines. Mais on continue de vous relayer ces news. Un prequel à Outlander Le showrunner Matthew B. Roberts de la série Outlander de Starz veut étendre l'univers créé par Diana Gabladon. En effet, il penche sur un script pour une série préquelle à Outlander dont la saison 6 vient de démarrer. On ne sait pas encore à quelle période cette nouvelle série pourrait se dérouler mais en 2013, son autrice avait sorti une nouvelle intitulée Virgins qui suivait la jeunesse de Jamie Fraser et de son beau-frère. Et d'ailleurs, le drame historique a été renouvelé pour une saison 7. https://youtu.be/4IoDqpeQrdc Le dessin animé Arthur s'est terminé Après 25 ans et 253 épisodes, le dessin animé Arthur vient de se terminer sur PBS. Pour ceux et celles qui ont connu ce célèbre oryctérope à lunettes, sachez qu'il est devenu auteur de roman illustré. The Blacklist confirmée pour une saison 10 James Spader est toujours à la tête de la série policière de NBC. Les 7 premières saisons de Blacklist sont disponibles sur Netflix chez nous. Un trailer pour Pachinko Le prochain drame d'Apple TV+ s'annonce larmoyant. Suivez sur quatre générations une famille coréenne qui a dû s'exiler au Japon dans cette adaptation du roman best-seller de Min Jin Lee. Pachinko dévoile une histoire de combat, propre à tous les immigrants. Cette bande-annonce révélatrice pourra vous mettre du baume au cœur. https://youtu.be/O1r5XXJOYNA L'homme tombé du ciel arrive en série Après un film avec David Bowie, le roman L'homme tombé du ciel de Walter Tevis sera adapté en série.

“Hang on,” we can hear you saying, “isn't this a romance novel podcast?” It absolutely is, and that's why we're dropping a very special episode about the character who is the most perfect on-screen version of a romance hero that ever there was: Captain of the AFC Richmond team, Roy Kent. Added bonus, we're joined by Jen's brother Erik to talk sports stories (and check in on Jürgen Klopp).Spoilers abound, so if you haven't watched Season 1, do that first!Our next read along is Cat Sebastian's wonderful Unmasked by the Marquess. Get it at Amazon, Apple Books, B&N, Kobo, or Bookshop.org. Thank you, as always, for listening! Please follow us on your favorite podcasting app, and if you are up for leaving a rating or review there, we would be very grateful! Show NotesTed Lasso season two starts this Friday, and the reviews look great. Also, if you haven't read this GQ profile of Jason Sudeikis, you are missing out.In season 2, we talked about Cinnamon Roll heroes, as compared to Alpha heroes. Grunting is definitely an alpha hero trait. We love Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca) and Juno Temple (Keeley) and that's all we have to say about that. Apparently, there are ways to watch Apple TV Plus shows even if you don't have an Apple Device. Who knew! You, too, can bake Ted's biscuits. USAians have a different relationship with Soccer than the rest of the world. Perhaps you need a primer on the Premier League, promotion and relegation, the average age of Premier League players, and just how popular is Premier League football really is.Fated Mates has a favorite team, it's Liverpool, and it's basically because of our favorite stern brunch daddy TM, Jürgen Klopp. Stern Brunch Daddy(tm) is the invention of Andie J. Christopher, friend of the pod, who has a new book out this week! Richmond is a fake team, but that won't stop you from buying gear to show your team spirit. This year, London was home to six Premier League teams: Arsenal, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham United.Yes, Jen hates it when young characters make ancient pop culture references in romances, but in this case, Indiana Jones is appropriate for people our age! Go ahead and write I Love You on your eyelids! More about the story of how Brett Goldstein got the part of Roy Kent. Jen's sister-in-law Janine writes for TV and she's kind of a big deal! Susan Elizabeth Philips was a guest a few weeks ago, and she talked about the trope of the grizzled veteran at the end of his career and how it's a hallmark of the Chicago Stars series.Jen mentioned a series of soccer romances--it's the Atlanta Skyline series by Rebecca Crowley.You know, Roy Kent really should have tried to get that Rolex back. In a New York Times article about adapting romance to TV and film, Outlander showrunner Matthew B. Roberts “found that voice-over sequences left actors standing around with nothing to play against. Interior monologue has to become exterior dialogue. ‘That's our biggest challenge always.'“It's witched” was a joke from our very first episode, in case you're into that sort of thing. That German word (phrase?) is sturm und drang and it means turmoil.No topping from the bottom.Maureen Murdock's Heroine's Journey is an archetype that values community building over individualism, we like the latest iteration from Gail Carriger.Rupert Mannion is the woooooorst. That darts scene is awesome though, and if you want to read a contemporary romance set in a pub that includes darts playing, Sarah wrote one!Other sports TV shows and movies we mentioned: Friday Night Lights, Sports Night, The League, Bull Durham, and Major League. Maybe you didn't know that the character of Ted Lasso originated in a series of TV commercials for NBC. Bill Lawrence was a producer for Spin City and Scrubs, which were other funny workplace comedies. In the past few weeks, Italy won the Euro 2020 and Argentina won the Copa America. And the Olympics football competition will be interesting since men's teams are limited to players under 23 years of age. FYI, the US Soccer Federation is pretty awful. For Generation X and Millenials, soccer was a big deal. If you are interested in a family friendly sports outing, maybe your city has a professional soccer team! The Chicago Fire is awesome, and New York has two teams! The 1994 World Cup was played in the USA, and Sarah remembered the name of defender Alexi Lalas. Now he's a commentator and we would like him to do better. So there are trick plays in football and . . . well, football.The last few decades of television have focused on the antihero, and lots of people wonder if that didn't help create our recent political moment. It's hard to beat the fan experience of singing You'll Never Walk Alone at Anfield; but Erik recommends this 2019 video of the team and fans singing after Liverpool defeated Barcelona. The version in the last episode of season 1 of Ted Lasso is this one by Marcus Mumford. Follow AFC Richmond, Ted Lasso, Hannah Waddingham and Brett Goldstein on Twitter. Jürgen Klopp does not have Twitter because "he is a grown man with a job."You can preorder signed copies of Bombshell from Word in Brooklyn, buttons and stickers from Best Friend Kelly, and Fated Mates merch from Jordan Dene.

Mauvaise nouvelle pour les fans de Outlander : la saison 6 de la série actuellement en tournage sera raccourcie. Prévue pour début 2022, elle contiendra 8 épisodes au lieu des 12 originellement prévus. À noter cependant que le premier épisode de ce retour tant attendu durera 90 minutes. Il s'agit là des conséquences d'une production perturbée par la crise sanitaire actuelle, mais Matthew B. Roberts , le showrunner de la série, a voulu rassurer les fans : la saison 7 compensera leur déception avec une durée allongée à 16 épisodes. Ça passe mieux tout de suite ! [bs_show url="outlander"]

Ok, so it's that time of year and Sarah is on deadline, which means we're just kicking our next read along episode down the road until she's done (which she swears will be very soon). So, this week, we've got a freewheeling episode that we've been thinking about for a while — let's talk about what makes a romance novel a romance novel (hint, it's not when the heroine is run over by a train). Whether you're new to Fated Mates this month or have been with us for all three seasons, we adore you, and we're so grateful to have you. We hope you're reading the best books this week.Our next read along is Mary Balogh's A Matter of Class, a short historical novel. Get it for only $2.99 at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo or Google Books.Show NotesWe keep putting Mary Balogh in the corner, but swear to God, our next read-along will be A Matter of Class. Also, we've been pronouncing her name wrong -- it's "Bah-log" not "Bay-lo" We'll get it right on the read along we promise.A couple of weeks ago, Jen asked about what articles romance readers share with people new to genre, and the results were interesting.The Bridgerton effect: Regé-Jean Page on SNL, the Bridgerton musical on TikTok, and the brilliant Patricia A. Matthew in the Los Angeles Review of Books. The Happily Ever After (HEA), or the Happy For Now (HFN), is a requirement if you want to categorize it as romance.Nicholas Sparks doesn't write romance (per the previous item), but this kiss between Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling was great on film and great on the MTV Movie Awards. Me Before You has horrible disability rep and shouldn't ever appear on anyone's list of Best Romances. Oubliette is a great word. Surprising no one, Sarah likes it because of Labyrinth, obviously.In WandaVivsion, Vision (played by Paul Bettany) asks Wanda, “What is grief if not love persevering?” And it struck a chord with a lot of people. If you're interested in the book about the speed skater and the figure skater, it's Fire on the Ice by Tamsen Parker. It's HOT. In the New York Times, Matthew B. Roberts, a showrunner for Outlander said that one of the difficulties of adapting romance is that "You can't film a thought."Deus ex Machina never works in a romance novel. I said what I said. Speed is a romance and Jeff Daniels does great eye work. Miss Scarlet and the Duke is a TV show that follows a lot of romance conventions, and Sarah says the sexual tension is terrific. Also, this beard.Jen used Working Girl as an example of a movie where the woman's journey is more important than the romantic arc. Yes, she's dating herself, but whatever, it's an age-appropriate pop culture reference for her!

Dr Matthew B Roberts currently serves as the Chair of the Council on legislative and regulatory affairs for the Texas Dental Association. In this Episode, Doc interviews Dr. Matt Roberts, Long time TDA member and Advocate for Texas Dentists. They cover a variety of topics including current responses to the Covid 19 Crisis by the Texas Dental Board and TDA. They also get into details about the working relationship and duties of the TDA, TSBDE and the State Government.

Season 4 Episode 409 The Birds & The Bees Directed by: David Moore Written by: Toni Graphia and Matthew B. Roberts   My thoughts are below, but you'll need to listen to the podcast to get my in-depth perspective. Summary: Brianna returns to her room battered and bleeding. Lizzie tries to help. Roger returns to the tavern for Brianna but is greeted by someone unexpected and forced to leave. Brianna wakes late learning Roger has left.  The Frasers are in town. Brianna and Jamie meet for the first time. Claire is overwhelmed seeing her daughter. Brianna explains the reason for her visit. Young Ian meets his cousin. Lizzie is smitten. Brianna tells Claire all about Roger. Young Ian tells the story of what happened the last time they went upriver. They all arrive at Fraser's Ridge. Jamie and Brianna bond over bees. Domesticity rules. Roger gets a gemstone and heads to the Ridge. Brianna reveals truths and secrets to Claire. Lizzie makes a proclamation. Jamie takes mistaken vengeance upon Roger. It's All Good: For the first time maybe ever, I have only good to say about this episode. It hits every beat with superb acting, good storytelling, and every character feeling right in their own skins and actions. This episode feels like the essence of Outlander and why readers go back to the books again and again. Outside of the very first episode, this episode in my favorite of all the seasons. The second viewing was even more satisfying than the first. This episode is what a quality adaptation should look like. The heart and soul of the story and the characters are masterfully brought to life with the alterations blending in as if they have always been there. I hope this is the new standard for the series moving forward. Toni and Matt wrote excellent material for the ensemble of actors, the director, and the host of personnel to turn into something magical. Miscommunication, Relationship Dynamics, and Secrets: Roger is forced to leave. Lizzie believing Roger is the man who harmed Brianna. Brianna's guilt over Roger leaving. Father and daughter meeting for the first time. Claire's overwhelm at seeing Brianna. Lizzie's teenage hormones. Loyalty and bonding. Brianna's rape and pregnancy. The terrible secrets.  Interesting Links: Beeocaching. How to move a beehive. Daniel Boone. So many lingering questions: How is Jamie going to explain his busted-up hand? Will Claire keep the secret? Will Lizzie and Young Ian keep the secret? What will Young Ian do with Roger? Where's Murtagh sleeping? When will Bonnet pay for what he's done? How does Brianna's skirt have pockets? Will Brianna go back to the 20th century or wait for Roger? Final Thought: There are four more episodes to go. The next six days cannot pass fast enough for this lassie!

America the Beautiful Season 4 Ep 401 Written by Matthew B. Roberts and Toni Graphia Summary: Jamie, Claire, Marsali, Fergus, Young Ian, Lesley, and Hayes are in Wilmington, NC. There's a hanging. Young Ian gets a dog. The Frasers are going to a party. They are broke and need to sell a gemstone for passage back to Scotland. A greedy pastor, flashbacks, and a stowaway complicate the burial. Assistance is given to an escaped convict. Jamie and Claire sleep rough. The Governor makes Jamie an offer. They decide to stay in America. On the way to River Run, there's trouble. Themes: With good there is bad. There are opportunities in the new world, but there is also cruelty and opportunistic savagery that takes place against others in the process. Circles have significance from the broader to the personal, impact lives, and are here to make a point this season. The Good: There is so much excellent dialogue to provide warmth to devoted Outlander readers. Jamie stands out as a good friend and leader. Claire's humor and emotional range are coming into view. She's less a constipated shrew and more emotionally rounded.  The choice to highlight Young Ian's trauma after being scared and sexually assaulted by Geillis “The Bakra” Abernathy. Rollo is joining the crew. Marsali and Fergus are expecting a child. SURPRISE. Apparently, she likes sex quite fine and having a child won't stop that. Jamie's gift of the medicine box for their 24th anniversary is a deep home run. He's sentimental and knows Claire is not the type to want baubles and fancy things.   Ed Speleers gives an excellent performance as Stephen Bonnet, at once likable, over the top schmoozer, maybe kind, and then morphing into a malevolent mercenary he returns to steal Claire's rings and the gems he overheard them talking about when he was a stowaway. He even murders Lesley when he fights back. Caitriona's performance during the robbery is stunning. With minimal sound, her emotions, facial expressions, and body movements scream volumes. The Bad: Jamie's banged wig is hands down is THE worst thing in this episode. Claire's wig and the funky North Carolina CGI are next in line. Everyone else's wigs are fantastic. I just don't get it. It seems the hair team is trying to mimic Sam's hair before he donned a wig. Someone, PLEASE give Jamie an all over shoulder length wig that can be properly plaited. The utter distraction makes for difficult viewing. Who the hell is Lillington and how did they get an invite to a party? It was an abrupt non-sequitur without context while they're riding to the kirkyard to bury Gavin. Unless you're a book reader, this came out of left field. The So-So: The hanging of Gavin barely ticked the emotional box because there was so little character development of him and Lesley even though they were at Ardsmuir and worked for Jamie in Edinburgh. Except for Lesley's heartfelt tavern singing, and the shocking nature of his death, they felt superfluous to a storytelling end Why was Jamie so determined for them all to go back to Scotland? Claire mildly talking him into staying is a bit off-putting. Fergus being so mild and mousy and seemingly lacking the wit and fire his younger counterpart displayed is a slight turn off as a viewer. The Funny: The snarky dinner party guest Judith Wylie being jealous of Claire and trash talking her to Claire's “whatever” face. Jamie's “more trees” response to Claire. Jamie's response to sweet devastated Young Ian, “What it comes down to is your cock doesn't have a conscience, but you have.” Young Ian to Uncle Jamie, “I didna ken. She'll be saying it in Scotland won't she.” The Obvious: Claire's voiceover in the opening scene of native peoples building a cairn circle around a standing stone, Hey there! Circles of ALL kinds (nooses, wedding rings, the movement of clock hands, and planetary orbits) are super-duper important. Especially stone circles in America.” (Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink). Then Stephen Bonnet focusing on the rings and the importance of an eternal circle. Then Stephen attempting to take Claire's wedding rings. Bottom Line: Overall, I liked this episode and looked forward to what's coming. A lot of ground was covered to move the story along nicely. I don't envy the task of adapting such detailed and lengthy work. Outlander viewers are pretty darned smart and don't need to be spoon-fed foreshadowing, hit in the face with themes or points the producers and writers want to be certain we don't miss. I promise, if the writing is good, viewers with getting it.

Eye of the Storm 313 Written for television by: Matthew B. Roberts and Toni Graphia Directed by: Matthew B. Roberts   My play by play thoughts are below. To hear my deep and complete musings, you'll need to listen to the podcast. Enjoy. Starz Synopsis: Claire is forced to play a game of cat and mouse with an old adversary as she searches for Young Ian. The Frasers race through the jungles of Jamaica to prevent the unthinkable.

Claire is locked up. Jamie frees Claire. They find a dance party. Yi Tien Cho declares his love. Margaret prophecies and channels a child. Yi Tien Cho kills Archibald. Abandawe is reached. Geillis chooses her sacrificial lamb. Jamie gets beat up. Claire stops the traveling. Young Ian is saved. The gems are recovered. Claire remembers the bones. Back to sea, Claire and Jamie play. A storm rises. Woman overboard. Jamie goes in after. They wash up ashore. It's the New World. How it played: Holy hell she's drowning. “I was dead.” A procession of maroons in progress. Where's her fancy dress? How did she drop off her clothes? So, she went back to town changed her clothes then went all the way back to Rose Hall? Batshit Geillis is accusing Claire of being after the treasure. “I'm tired of yer blethering, so leave me be or get on wi' it, you bitch!” Young Ian fights back. Braw laddie. Uh Oh, Hercules grabs Claire brings her to Geillis. (I love Geillis' gray hair). Claire's not a good liar. Yeah, sure I'll sit. Jamie and The Leonard are met by redcoats. LJG saves the day. Bwahaha, no warrant, no Jamie. No affidavit, no Jamie. ” Scurrilous gossip of the lower deck.” Oh, Lord John. Nay, nay you're no on the sea.

FFS Geillis. Geillis is unhinged. WTF Geillis. The new king. Brahan Seer you say? Enter the photos. Oh, Claire did you have to? Remember 1968? “He was one of my favorites. Handsome. Such a lovely cock.” Damn Geillis. “A 200-year-old baby, imagine that.” Hey, Claire, you may want to count the photos. What a messed-up apology. Extra creepy hug. Frenemy's forever. Bloody hell, there's Young Ian, and I'm locked in. Someone's coming, eke. Jamie returns and frees Claire. Sure, go toward the drumming, what could happen? Um, sir, is that a crocodile on your head? Claire and Jamie are peering at the scene like Frank and Claire at Craigh na Dun. The ceremony is in full swing. Jinx, Claire it reminds me of the dance at the stones too. And they're caught. Yi Tien Cho is so gangster, “They are with me.” And the croc head hat wearing leader, nods. Peace out. Campbell is sharing her visions. Yi Tien Cho declares his love for Margaret and her for him. Yay team Cho/Campbell to Martinique they will go. She freaks Jamie out a bit. Creepy she sees Jamie at Culloden. And she sees Claire in the future with the bird. Then Brianna talks through her. Young Ian is at Abandawe. That Maggie, she has some deep skills. Archibald returns. Jamie threatens. Brahan Seer prophecy and the 200-year-old baby. Aha Claire gets it. Claire counts the photos - Bree is the 200-year-old baby. YTC challenges Archie and kills him. Whoa. All the while the ceremony rages. Chicken down. Archie is part of the sacrifice. Abandawe or bust. The stone circle. The cave. Jamie and Claire make a just in case pact. Geillis has Young Ian. Geillis made a circle of gems to sacrifice Ian within. Jamie takes an ass whoopin from Hercules. “A life for a life sweet Claire.” For the greater good. FFS you deserve to die just for saying that. You never loved your baby Geillis. Claire goes in for the tackle! “Dear Geillis, I do not condone murder for the greater good. And please stop being a c*nt. God.” Swashbuckling Claire for the goal. She nearly beheads Geillis. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Jamie frees Hercules. Jamie frees Young Ian. Claire stop looking in the pool. Stop. Young Ian grabs gems. What a merc. They escape the cave and stone circle. Young Ian such a sweet boy. AWWWW Jamie kissing his nephew. Reality hits Claire hard bro. Super Claire breaks down. Dem bones in the future are Geillis. Yep, that's right. The Abernathy connection, yep you got it now? Jamie comforts Claire as she realizes the bones she examined with Dr. Joe are Geillis. GROUP HUG. Back on the Artemis. “It's different.” Pro Tip: Wash the soap off before engaging in face to lady bit contact. “Feel free to rough up my tender bits.” All is well, and it's time for some sexual healing. Talk dirty to me you Scot “We shall see what noises you dinna make then Sassenach.” If the cabin's rockin', don't bother knockin'. A storm is coming. Storm rages. Why would the ship's surgeon need on deck Claire? EKE so scary the ship is coming apart. That wall of water, WTF are you on deck still? Claire goes overboard. “I was dead.” OMG, she's going down attached to the rigging. Jamie jumps in after her. She's sinking. Jamie's terrified. Love's kiss. Drags her to surface. Is she alive? “Damn you Sassenach. If you die here now, I swear I'll kill you.” They float to the shore on ship's debris. “Hey mister, you alive?” Poke. On the shore, she's alive. The Artemis is near with survivors. They are in the New World, Georgia. Panning into the New World. The music is glorious. What coming up? Week 1 Drums of Autumn read-a-long December 17, 2017.
