Podcast appearances and mentions of Maya Erskine

Sacramento is a buddy comedy starring Michael Angarano, Michael Cera, Kristen Stewart and Maya Erskine, I talk about the film on this podcast enjoy. 

This week, The Filmlosophers are getting local as they delve into a unique film named for and lovingly set in their very own wonderful city: Sacramento! They'll explore how the film captures the essence of their hometown and what makes it so special on the silver screen. But the local love doesn't stop there. In a special, sprawling edition of Conspiracy Theory, the crew embarks on a bizarre and ambitious journey, positing the possibility of a secret expanded cinematic universe that somehow connects the nostalgic coming-of-age story of Stephen King's Stand By Me to a decidedly more bloodsucking final destination, California style. Prepare for some wild leaps of logic and potentially mind-blowing connections! In this episode: Sacramento on Screen: The team will discuss the film's portrayal of their beloved city, analyzing its locations, its atmosphere, and how it contributes to the overall narrative. Expect some personal anecdotes and local insights! Conspiracy Theory: Stand By Me's Shadowy Sequel: The Filmlosophers will meticulously (or perhaps haphazardly) piece together a theory that suggests Stand By Me is the unsuspecting origin point of a much darker, potentially vampiric, cinematic universe. Get ready for a deep dive into seemingly unrelated films and some truly out-there speculation. Join The Filmlosophers for an episode that's a loving tribute to their home city and a descent into the wonderfully weird world of interconnected cinematic universes. It's a journey from the familiar streets of Sacramento to the shadowy corners of a surprising film conspiracy! So pull up a chair, grab your popcorn, and tune in to this week's roadtrip of an episode with The Filmlosophers!

Unfortunately, Dave can't make it this week (we miss you), but we (Evan and Megan) carry on in his stead. First we cover Michael Angarano's dramedy SACREMENTO (2:14), where a free-spirited guy (Angarano) cons his anxiety-ridden best friend (Michael Cera) into taking a road trip to, you guessed it, Sacramento. The movie, which co-stars the vastly underused Maya Erskine and Kristen Stewart, has the occasional poignant moment or funny line but is too scattershot for our taste. Next, we review Christopher Landon's thriller DROP (23:02), which stars Meghann Fahy as a widowed, domestic abuse survivor and mother who is terrorized by anonymous threatening messages on her first date in years. We really dig its central mystery, lead performance, intense atmosphere, and sharp commentary on abuse. And in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about Martha Coolidge's 1985 comedy REAL GENIUS in honor of the late Val Kilmer!

What don't they tell you? They you gotta take a break! In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and Jason Hellerman sit down with editor Max Goldblatt, who cut the heartfelt and hilarious indie road trip film Sacramento. Directed by Michael Angarano and starring Michael Cera, Kristen Stewart, and Maya Erskine, the film made waves at Tribeca and has since garnered a devoted following. Max shares how he got into editing, his long-time collaboration with Angarano, and offers invaluable insight into the nuanced craft of post-production—especially on a tight budget and timeline. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins, Jason Hellerman, and guest Max Goldblatt discuss... How Max and director Michael Angarano formed their creative bond through music The challenges and victories of licensing a Rolling Stones song for an indie film Editorial techniques like split compositions and how they elevate performance Why taking breaks during the edit can lead to better storytelling Max's unconventional path into editing and the moment he almost walked away from filmmaking The balance between instinct and structure when cutting complex character scenes Memorable Quotes: “Michael kind of broke the cardinal rule of putting a song in the script.” “Sometimes there's just this alchemy when you choose something maybe almost at random.” “I was about to quit trying to pursue film period before I was connected with Mike Angarano.” “Sometimes it takes feedback or questions that people have about characters, and you realize that the answer was there all along.” Guests: Max Goldblatt Resources: Sacramento on IMDb Michael Angarano's first film, Avenues Robert Schwartzman's film The Argument Jason Hellerman's article on "Man on a Mission" stories Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

He sympathizes with Akemi's situation and later takes steps to ensure her freedom. ⁠Masi Oka⁠ as Ringo, an optimistic, handless male cook who idolizes Mizu.

He proves surprisingly helpful and loyal to Mizu. ⁠Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa⁠ as Master Eiji, a blind ⁠swordsmith⁠ who raised Mizu.

This week we cover Prime Video's reimagining of the 2005 hit comedy/action film Mr & Mrs Smith starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine. This time the spies-turned-married-couple plot line comes to us as a sleek and simmering slow burn romantic dramedy thats lighter on the spy action of it all and heavy on the tension and relational dynamics where awkward comedic moments get to shine. We discuss our favorite scenes, the all important element of chemistry, and the behind the scenes writing and acting choices that might have lead to different kind of show. We hope you enjoy!

This week we are discussing the Amazon Prime series Mr. and Mrs. Smith, starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine.

Donald Glover and Maya Erskine take on the mantle of the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It's comedic, tragic, and beverly hills cop. But was it good?

This week's episode of Indieventure has a bit of a show-and-tell format, since it's been a while since we just checked in with the indie games everyone's been playing in their down time. After our last episode on this February's Steam Next Fest, Rachel has mostly been playing loads more demos! Mech-pilot farming sim Lightyear Frontier has emerged as her most-played Next Fest demo this time around, and might even be poised to find its way onto the best-ever farming sims list of our resident connoisseurs of the genre. She also has a lot of good words for INDIKA, an experimental psychological adventure game examining religious orthodoxy — here's a link to the Polygon article we discuss at this point in the episode. Never one to cruelly leave us without a recommendation for a great indie title we can play in full right now, though, Rachel has also recently checked out text-based horror game Home Safety Hotline. Long-time listeners will know that Rachel isn't always our biggest horror advocate, so rest assured that this one is pretty safe to play for anyone looking for a good creepy story, regardless of your comfort levels with some of the genre's more intense tropes. Noted Valentine's Day sceptic Rebecca has nevertheless been in the mood for romance this month, specifically in video games that let her woo hot monsters. So she's been playing a few rounds of Doomsday Paradise, a Monster Prom-inspired multiplayer card battler that got a bit lost in the shuffle when it first released back in November. She's also revisited two monster dating mash-ups she previously bounced off of, Helltaker and Romancelvania — and quickly DNF'd one all over again while becoming hooked on the other this time around. Liam, meanwhile, has been enjoying two very different roguelikes: early access city builder Roots of Yggdrasil, which sees a band of Vikings attempting to outrun Ragnarok by expanding their civilisation across the Nine Realms with the use of deck-building puzzles; and Go Mecha Ball, the twin stick shooter starring a cat piloting a mech through a pinball machine. You might remember we talked about the latter game before after playing the demo, which is when we first uttered the now-immortal line LIAM LIKE CRONCH. In hyperfixations this week, Rebecca's obsession with the new Wicked movie trailer hasn't quite overtaken her desire to binge as much of the Pokémon anime as possible before Pokémon TV goes offline for good at the end of March. Rachel has recently visited the British Library's Fantasy: Realms of Imagination exhibition, which leads to far too many good book, film, TV, and game recommendations to list in full here. And Liam has finally binned off The O.C. and started watching a TV show he'd actually recommend to others, namely the recent remake of Mr. & Mrs. Smith starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine.

On this week's show, the panel begins by dissecting Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the episodic remake of Brangelina's 2005 espionage film. The Prime Video series stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine as the titular Smiths, spies who become “married” as a part of the job, and explores partnership in the gig economy in a quieter, smaller, and less glamorous version of the original. Then, they review The Color Purple, a movie-musical adapted from Alice Walker's seminal novel. The film stars Fantasia Barrino and Taraji P. Henson, as well as Danielle Brooks, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Sofia. Finally, it's the viral scam that rocked the internet: “The Day I Put $50,000 in a Shoe Box and Handed It to a Stranger” is a first-hand account written by The Cut's financial-advice columnist, Charlotte Cowles, about the time she fell for an Amazon scam call. Our panel reviews the piece and explores its ethics.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Julia discusses her big life changes, including a new fellowship at USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Outro music: “Pull Me Out” by Mike Stringer Endorsements: Dana: Dance Life on Prime Video, a five-episode series that follows the students at Brent Street Academy, the southern hemisphere's most prestigious dance academy.  Julia: The Hobonichi Techo Planner Book, a planner that's descended from the heavens. The book uses thin and light yet durable paper and employs the same thread-stitch binding as a dictionary, allowing it to lay flat open for glorious, comfortable writing.  Steve: A two-part endorsement: Listen to his playlist of cover songs, Let's Dance, while making hand-made pasta with a Marcato hand-crank machine.  Podcast production by Jared Downing. Production assistance by Kat Hong.  Hosts Dana Stephens, Julia Turner, Stephen Metcalf Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hihi, this week we're going undercover with Donald Glover and Maya Erskine on their new Amazon Prime Video original Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It's inspired by the 2005 blockbuster Brangelina action rom-com, but this new darkly comedic martial thriller has more in common with FX's The Americans than the title suggests… …and speaking of FX: Peak TV prognosticator (and veteran FX chief) John Landgraf is back with his annual tally of scripted originals and an ominous prediction. With the number of new series in decline, is the era of Peak TV is truly over? (He's only predicted it twice before, so this time might be for real!) But first! Sony once again poses the question: Should you start hoarding physical media in the attic? Chris explores the wide world of Plex channels… …and Dianne plays a brand new game called Plex or Not?! ———

Our first television episode in a while and the first of 2024, we're reviewing the new Amazon Prime Video series from creators Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane: Mr. & Mrs. Smith. A reimagining of the 2005 hit movie (and a short-lived 1996 television show), the series follow John (Donald Glover) and Jane (Maya Erskine), two spies who agree to complete espionage missions under the cover of marriage. Is the new Mr. & Mrs. Smith another tepid remake, or does it forge a new - more interesting - path?

Review of the new TV series, Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024) on Amazon Prime starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine. The series is inspired by the 2005 film of the same name starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. In this version, two spies are assigned to be husband and wife as they work on ever escalating clandestine jobs together. While working alongside one another they develop a romantic relationship that is explored throughout the series.

On Prime Video's fun new spy show Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Donald Glover and Maya Erskine play spies going undercover as a married couple. The show is part tense thriller and part romantic comedy. But it's also a character study, of two people who have made their way into the spy life and aren't sure how they feel about being in it together.Subscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour Plus at plus.npr.org/happyhour

Mr. And Mrs. Smith is back, in TV form, on Amazon Prime, and Sarah Baker is back, in fine form, to talk about it: whether it improves on the movie, how we feel about leads Donald Glover and Maya Erskine's chemistry, how many Brooklyn landmarks Sarah D. Bunting zoomed in on for confirmation, and what the Phoebe Waller-Bridge iteration of the show might have looked like. Then we went Around The Dial with Clone High, The Floor, Fargo, and Law & Order: SVU; and Buntsy stayed in the Order-verse to declare that she's NOT a crackpot for thinking Tony Goldwyn should play his Criminal Intent character on Mothership even though that character is dead. Alan Partridge won, Alyssa Milano lost, and we all tried to guess the horndog hearts of IMDb searchers in Game Time. This time it's cake AND death in an all-new Extra Hot Great. GUESTS

Donald Glover and Maya Erskine star in the reimaging of the 2005 blockbuster of the same name. Not a remake because the show creators change things up into an interesting way. Tiffany joins the show to unpack the first seaon of the Prime Video. Follow us on Instagram and on Twitter.

On this week's show, Nadira Goffe sits in for Julia Turner. The hosts first begin by exploring an updated cult classic: Mean Girls, the movie musical version of the Broadway show based on the iconic 2004 film. The 2024 iteration stars Reneé Rapp as Regina George and Angourie Rice as Cady Heron. Then the three head to 17th century Edo-era Japan and review Blue Eye Samurai, an animated Netflix series about an ambiguously gendered, half-Japanese, half-white samurai (voiced by Maya Erskine) hell-bent on exacting revenge on the man responsible for their “monstrous” existence. Finally, consider the plight of January, a recent New York Times essay implores. The panel debates the merits of America's least-loved month and whether they agree with the assertion that the first 31 days of the year are the best.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discloses what books to read for self-reinvention, including Letters to a Young Poet and Nadira's favorite Toni Morrison work. The conversation is based on Chelsea Leu's piece for The Atlantic, “What to Read If You Want to Reinvent Yourself.”  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Outro music: “Lonely Calling” by Arc De Soleil Endorsements: Nadira: Embracing her tradition of endorsing music favorites, Nadira's been loving Depression Cherry by Beach House, the indie duo's 2015 studio album that's dreamy, surreal, and comforting, and Cynthia Erivo's sensational cover of “Alfie,” performed live at the Kennedy Center Honors for 2023 honoree Dionne Warwick.  Dana: At the onset of every year, Dana chooses a mammoth book assignment for herself, and in 2024, that book was Middlemarch by George Eliot. She especially enjoys listening to the audiobook while hiking, which is narrated by the English actress Juliet Stevenson.  Steve: Steve learned to Travis pick on the guitar! Thanks to a wonderful YouTube tutorial by Mike's Music Method for the song “Blues Run the Game” by Jackson C. Frank. (And maybe if enough listeners request it, he might perform it for us…) Podcast production by Cameron Drews.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes In a surprising move to keep us all on our toes, at the premiere for season two of What If? Marvel Studios recently announced a Black Panther spinoff show called Eyes of Wakanda, which will premiere next year on Disney+. If the news from Wakanda wasn't exciting enough to fans, those who attended the premiere also received the privilege of sneak peeks for X-Men ‘97 and Spider-Man: Freshmen Year, which has been renamed to Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, PLUS the studio confirmed a third season for What If?.  Ahead of the highly-anticipated third installment in Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool series, set photos are being shared with abandon as drone shots show off more of the movie than the Star wants. Reynolds took to Instagram for a global plea that requested the leaks stop saying, “Surprises are part of the magic of theatrical movies,” and citing the leaks as a “difficult situation.” Reynolds' post finished with him mentioning that spoilers occur when fans are excited AND talking of his enjoyment about making this movie.  The 2024 Golden Globe nominations are in and the leaders will surprise nobody, with Barbie and Succession topping the boards with nine nominations each. Other buzzworthy films and shows with many chances to sweep awards are Oppenheimer, The Bear, Killers of the Flower Moon, Only Murders in the Building, Poor Things, and The Crown. Some noted projects that did not garner any noms are Napoleon, Ferrari, Origin, and Swarm. Next year's awards show will premiere two new categories: Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television. This year's Golden Globes will be the first held without the oversight of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which has opened the voting opportunity to a more ethnically and racially diverse voting group made up of 300 journalists from 76 different countries.  The Wall Street Journal reported Angelina Jolie has officially signed on to reprise her role as Maleficent for a third film in the series. Amazon released the first teaser trailer for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the reboot series of the 2005 film of the same name, which starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The new series stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine and will drop in its entirety on Prime on February 2. Tom Blyth, the breakout star of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, signed on to star in a film adaptation of Ernest Hemmingway's World War I novel A Farewell To Arms. The project will begin filming next year. Warner Bros. Discovery signed a multiyear U.S. output deal with studio A24, bringing the entertainment company's slate of films exclusively to Max for streaming after their theatrical runs. Peacock renewed the action-comedy series Twisted Metal starring Anthony Mackie for a second season. According to Deadline, Sean Gunn will play the evil businessman Maxwell Lord in the new DC Universe that is helmed by his brother James Gunn. It is not yet clear if Sean Gunn will make an appearance in the upcoming Superman Legacy or if he will appear in different future DC projects. Netflix renewed the animated drama series Blue Eye Samurai for a second season. After a series of concerning reports about Marvel Studios' Blade film, Mahershala Ali addressed the state of the project.  “We're working on it. That's the best I could tell you,” Ali said, speaking to Entertainment Weekly. “I'm really encouraged with the direction of the project. I think we'll be back at it relatively soon.” Godzilla Minus One, now at $14.36 million at the box office, is currently the highest grossing live-action Japanese film in North America. This follows an opening weekend that marked the biggest Stateside debut of a foreign film this year.

The film, a sequel to the 2000 Best Picture winner, features an impressive cast including Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, and others, with some reprising their roles from the original. This marks Washington's second collaboration with Scott after "American Gangster." In "Gladiator 2," Washington plays a former gladiator who has become a wealthy businessman, supplying weapons, oil, and wine to the Romans. His character is described as wealthier than most senators, with aspirations that extend beyond his business, hinting at a complex and possibly morally ambiguous role.Denzel Washington in Hannibal Biopic for Netflix: Denzel Washington is teaming up again with director Antoine Fuqua for a Netflix biopic about the Carthaginian general Hannibal.

The project, written by John Logan of "Gladiator," is said to cover Hannibal's pivotal battles against the Roman Republic. This film marks a long-awaited opportunity for Washington, who had previously passed on a similar project over two decades ago due to family commitments. Washington and Fuqua will also produce the project, which is part of Fuqua's first-look partnership with Netflix."Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" Writer: Ana Nogueira has been chosen to write the script for "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow," a film part of the new DC Universe.
