Podcast appearances and mentions of Meryl Streep

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Francine Prose: Reflections on 1974 and the Pentagon Papers Francine Prose, author of “1974, A Personal History” in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. The author of twenty novels and ten books of non fiction, Francine Prose is best known for such novels as “Lovers at the Chameleon Club, 1932,” “The Vixen,” “Household Saints” and “Mister Monkey,” and non-fiction such as “Anne Frank: The Book, the Life, The Afterlife,” Francine Prose has also written two short story collections , and a picture book. Two of her novels have become films, and one, “The Glorious Ones,” became a Broadway musical. In this book, she recalls her time hanging out with Anthony Russo, who along with Daniel Ellsberg, was responsible for The Pentagon Papers, in San Francisco in 1974 and then a few months later, in New York, capturing the vibe of what it was like to live in that time and place, and differences between then and now. Complete Interview.   Wes Craven (1939-2015): Master of Horror Movies. Wes Craven (1939-2015), noted director of horror and genre films, interviewed by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff on October 13, 1999 while on tour for his one novel, “Fountain Society.” Wes Craven, who died at the age of 76 on August 30, 2015, was considered one of the masters of cinema's horror genre. Best known for The Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream films, ,He was best known for two series of films, the Nightmare on Elm Street films, and the Scream series, which also served as an academic deconstruction of the genre. Starting life as a humanities professor, Wes Craven moved over to film as first a sound editor, and then film editor before turning to writing and directing with The Last House on the Left. Along with the first Nightmare film (and the deconstruction last New Nightmare entry), he directed all four Scream films, along with Red Eye, Cursed, The Serpent and the Rainbow, and the non-genre Meryl Streep vehicle, Music of the Heart. His first and only novel, “Fountain Society,” was published in 1999, and it was during his book tour that he stopped by KPFA where he was interviewed by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff. That interview was digitized and re-edited in 2017 by Richard Wolinsky.

With the last feature film being Star Trek Beyond in 2016, there's been little movement on both the Chris Pine-led series and new takes on the universe, but this new film will move forward unconnected to anything done previously.Glen Powell in The Running Man was a favored first place winner at the box office this weekend, but was ousted by the sleight of hand of Now You See Me: Now You Don't, the third movie in that franchise. Now You See Me racked up a global $75 million opening, while The Running Man limped across the finish line at $28 million. This marks Powell's first big box office miss, when compared to openings for Twisters, Top Gun: Maverick, and Anybody But You, but the action film did have to compete against Predator: Badlands, which is holding strong at the box office still.Nintendo and Illumination have released the first trailer for Super Mario Galaxy, the follow up to 2023's hit The Super Mario Brothers Movie.

The show, which is titled Death Stranding Isolations is expected to debut sometime in 2027.Peacock has decided not to renew Poker Face for a third season. Natasha Lyonne exits as star, but series creator Rian Johnson has begun an effort to shop the show to other broadcasters for a two-season commitment and has cast Peter Dinklage to take over the role of Charlie Cale from Natasha Lyonne.Sony Pictures has picked up the rights to the Chinese doll brand Labubu with the intent to launch a franchise based on the dolls in the near future.Nintendo's live action Legend of Zelda movie has begun production and Nintendo social media accounts posted first look images earlier this week of Link and Zelda, the film's main characters.

In aflevering 34 van de Gremlins Back 2 Back podcast duiken Sven & Maarten eerst in Silkwood (1983), waar Meryl Streep kabaal maakt in de kerncentrale, en schuiven daarna door naar de mistige gotiek van Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein (2025). Het duo maakt vergelijkingen met andere films in het oeuvre van Guillermo, een piepjonge David Strathairn is grappig om naar te kijken, er is consensus over Alexandre Desplat en er wordt stilgestaan bij werkzekerheid versus gezondheid. Tijdens de intermission haalt Sven het overlijden aan van Diane Ladd en heeft Maarten het over The Running Man, The Last Viking, Keeper en Bugonia. Een aflevering vol plutonium gif, gotische romantiek en twee hosts die nergens voor terugdeinzen. Episode 34 van de Gremlins Back 2 Back podcast kan je nu beluisteren!

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. This week, the pair introduces the concept of the new show, including the segment, "What's the Jangle," in which they discuss two tidbits of Jewish entertainment news. We hear how "The Real Pain" creator Jesse Eisenberg is willing to go under the knife to donate a kidney to a perfect stranger. And we learn about two brave Hollywood actresses -- Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver -- who haven't joined the boycott Israel movement and are signed on to work with Israeli director Joseph Ceder in his upcoming thriller. Next, we get to "The Main Screening," a segment in which the duo discusses two films: the newly released Natalie Portman project, "Arco," and 2024's "Thelma" starring 96-year-old June Squibb. Hear which films get the seal of approval from our team and which was a split decision on this week's The Reel Schmooze. The Reel Schmooze can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

My new one is called Thrown for a Loop, and it drops on November 4, and it also will be published that same day as an audio book.Jess LaheyWhoo so...Sarina BowenAnd that is what...Jess LaheyYeah, we're going to talk about audiobooks today, because Sarina knows so much about this—because she has to, like, hire her own narrator sometimes and stuff like that. All I know is, I narrated my own audiobook, and it was super fun, and I loved it. But we want to talk about all the aspects of how audiobooks work—all of it. There's lots of fun stuff to talk about. Where would you like to start, Sarina?Sarina BowenThat is a good question. So, most of the time, if you are selling your book to a big publisher, audio rights will be included in your contract, and your publisher is therefore responsible for making the audiobook. You might be consulted about the choice of narrators, and that audio will magically appear finished on your publication date. But if you are a self-published author, then the existence or not of your audiobook is completely under your control. Audio has been the shining star of publishing for the last decade in that it is the growth story. I'm not sure how that has worked the last couple of years, but audio was one of the only areas of traditional publishing that demonstrated double-digit growth for much of the last decade. A lot of that has to do with the popularity and availability of streaming as a way that people listen to these books. Obviously, the technology shift made a huge difference, but so did things like cellular networks that work well and buffer easily. So...Jess LaheyCan I add one little, tiny thing? There's been another reason that I think that audio has done so well, and that's the acceptance within the education world—thanks to researchers like, for example, Dan Willingham and other people who study the brain and how we process and learn—that audiobooks are reading. From a processing perspective, from a learning perspective, listening to audiobooks is reading, and anyone who is telling you otherwise is not looking at the science. And so, this has been an incredible way—when you look at kids, for example, neurodivergent kids, dyslexic kids, kids who need another way to take in the information. It used to be that audio was like, “Oh no, that's cheating,” and it is absolutely not cheating. So, I think that acceptance within the education world has been so great. And, you know, yes, it is a small part of the growth, but I do want to put that plug in there.Sarina BowenYeah. So, the way that, traditionally, audiobooks have been made is that a narrator goes into a booth and reads the book after having prepped it a bit in terms of maybe reading the whole book, maybe reading parts of the book, understanding what they're going to bring to the table. If it's fiction, then they'll be looking to see what are the major voices, because audio narrators change their delivery to indicate voices. And one thing that's interesting about the trend where we are in audio right now is that it's very trendy for a nonfiction author to read their own work if they're comfortable with it. That is widely done in nonfiction.Jess LaheyAnd it was one of my favorite parts of my process. And I have to say, nothing affected me more on an emotional level. I cried at the end of narrating both books. I had to pause at the very end—at the last couple, the last paragraph. It was such a moving experience for me to narrate my own book. And I have to say, it wasn't a slam dunk that they were going to let me do that. I, you know, I worked really hard to be able to do that, because for some people, that's just not their bag—it's not something that comes naturally to them. But it was, for me anyway, my favorite part of the process.Sarina BowenYeah, so if you had written a novel, though, we wouldn't be—Jess LaheyNo.Sarina Bowen—having that same conversation.Jess LaheyI'm not an actor. I don't have the chops for that.Sarina BowenWell, a lot of authors of novels don't understand this. It's not that they don't understand how their own book should sound and be delivered—it's that what they don't understand is that the way that novel audio sounds in 2025 is a specific trend in the way that readers want their books delivered. The books are very much acted. It wasn't always this way. There were times when audio really sounded more like somebody just reading—and that's okay. Like, there's lots of room for style in terms of the way that audio fiction works. But right now, the trend in audio fiction is very much a performance. And one way that you can see this—and it continues to expand as a trend—is the trend toward something called duet audio, which means, for example, in romance, if there's a male hero and a female heroine—and the way that most of my books work is that if the chapter is in the POV of a man, then the male narrator reads it. But of course, when he comes to a line of dialogue delivered in the heroine's voice, he softens his tone a bit to indicate that she's speaking, but he reads the whole chapter.Jess LaheyThey're always amazing—that's amazing to me when readers can do that. I mean, Davina Porter is the one that comes to mind—like, in the Outlander books, when she switches whose voice she's reading. She switches whose voice—it's down to the accent—and you don't for a second think, “Oh, that's the same person reading all of this.” And some of the narrators you use, Sarina, in your books—the same thing. My brain absolutely believes that I'm hearing a female voice versus a male voice. It's a really incredible talent.Sarina BowenYeah. In fact, if this is of interest to you, there is a book called Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan.Jess LaheyIt's so good!Sarina BowenWho is one of the few who's been very successful as both an author and a narrator, and her book is a little bit of inside baseball about narrators. And it's a delight.Jess LaheyIt's fun. It's really fun.Sarina BowenOkay, so what I was just describing, though—where he reads a chapter and then she reads a chapter—we refer to that as dual narration (D-U-A-L). But there's a new trend called duet, whereby in the same book, he would read the chapter, but if there was a line of dialogue from a woman, the female narrator would read that line.Jess LaheyWhich is more similar to me in terms of how it feels with, like, ensemble narration. Like, for example, Lincoln in the Bardo had a full cast of many characters, and every part was someone different, and those actors would chime in with their parts. So, same—similar idea.Sarina BowenWell, sometimes, sometimes a “full cast” audiobook just means that there are lots of very short chapters or segments. But to have every single line of dialogue cut in is really different than just saying a book has a full cast.Jess LaheyThat's true. Actually, that's true.Sarina BowenSo the thing about duet specifically is that the engineering part of it—the post-production—is really expensive because the engineer has to cut together this script, and actually preparing the script is also a lot of work. So it's a pretty big deal to make a duet book. It's more expensive. The cost of making a one-POV narrator book or a dual book is between, let's say, $300 and $600 per finished hour.Jess LaheyWhat do you mean by that, Sarina?Sarina BowenSo, if you look at Audible right now, you can see the lengths of all of my audiobooks down to the minute. So it might say eight hours and thirty minutes. That means the finished length of that book is eight hours and thirty minutes. And the cost of making that book will be 8.5 times some number between $300 and $600. But if I did that book as duet, then it might be $1,000.Jess LaheyOkay, all right.Sarina BowenSo, every audiobook I've ever made cost between, like, three grand and seven grand. And if I were doing duet, then I would be hitting numbers more like $10,000.Jess LaheyAnd make no mistake—there are stars in the audiobook world who, like celebrities in films, can earn more per finished hour for their books. And that demand is really important because they have a vibe. There are fans of particular narrators who will listen to anything that narrator reads.Sarina BowenYeah, like my kids and I used to listen to audio narrated by Meryl Streep, and I'm sure she broke the curve for how much that cost per finished hour. But you should also know that the finished hour is not the same as how long it takes the narrator to do the job. So, if I'm paying a narrator $350 a finished hour, he is spending more time on that book, and his actual pay per hour is lower—like 150 bucks or whatever. It depends on his ratio of how fast he can narrate a book. And also, narrators' voices get tired. They can't narrate forty hours a week—although, actually, some of them probably do—but, you know, it's a hard job. So, if you're thinking, “I'm not going to pay someone $350 an hour to narrate my book,” you should know that it doesn't really work that way, and that really is the price for a reason.Jess LaheyAnd they're fun—just for some fun inside baseball things. Like, for both of my books, narration hours when we worked—our starting time in the morning was pushed up a little bit because no one wants to get an audiobook narrator right after they woke up. Your voice is not primed. Your voice has gunk in it. So, we would start later. You really could only go—you know, with my first book, I think we went until, like, three in the afternoon or something. You have to take a break for lunch, and then after you eat lunch, you get all these weird secretions, and it takes time to get back into it. There's just some weird stuff that I didn't count on—like it was better for me to be hungry (except then my stomach would make noises, which the microphones would pick up) than to stop and eat and have to get back in the groove. Because when you're in the groove, you kind of don't want to stop. There was just so much more to it than I ever anticipated. It was a blast, but it took me almost a whole week. We had scheduled five days for The Gift of Failure—it's like 78,000, 80,000 words, or something like that. We scheduled five full days; we ended up taking four. And I didn't have pickups for that book, but I did have pickups for The Addiction Inoculation. There was a lot more scientific language in that book that we had to do some pickups for. So, yeah, it's—Sarina BowenPickups means edit.Jess LaheyYeah. So, there were a couple days where I came in—and so I actually did The Addiction Inoculation during COVID. I was at a studio here locally in Vermont with my director, the producer of the audio in one ear of my headphones, and my producer from Harper in my other ear, in New York or wherever she was. We were working in a sound booth in Vermont. And, you know, in the evening, that producer would go over the audio and make sure that all of the words were pronounced correctly and everything was good. And then the next day, we would do pickups along with the new work as well.Sarina BowenRight. So, the editing that happens is really down to the word. Like, the engineer will sit there and, you know, go right into that space between the two words that you said and put the new thing in. And when a professional narrator is in the booth, they operate in a way that's called punch and roll, which means that they will stop when they make an error, go back—looking at that visual sine wave of the audio on their screen—find the pause between the words, go right to that spot, and then roll forward by hitting record again and then speaking the word that they meant to say.Jess LaheySome audiobook narrators use a clicker too. It's a way of being able to see on the wave where you, you know, might need to go back and figure something out.Sarina BowenYeah. So, um, there's a lot that goes into this. Humans make a lot of noises that we're trying not to hear. Like, some engineers will go in and dampen the breath sounds.Jess LaheyYeah. Yep.Sarina BowenYou know, they'll go in and take out the “heeeeh.”Jess LaheyActually, I had to change my clothes. My sweater was making too much noise. It turns out when I narrate, I use my arms a lot—so I actually had to learn how to narrate with my arms resting on the armrests but only using my lower arms. So, I look like the robot in Lost in Space with my little—my little—and also, my hair had to be up because my hair made noise too. And you can't wear jewelry, you know, like bracelets and things like that also make noise.Sarina BowenYep. And narrators all have stories like, “I can't eat Indian food before I narrate,” or “When I go in the booth after lunch, I strap pillows around my midsection.” Like all this stuff to make sure that the sound quality works. So, that brings us to a difficult topic in how audiobooks are made, which is that a lot of books are flooding the market with AI voices. And everybody's heard AI voices before—for example, if you've ever been on TikTok and you hear that weird, artificial female voice reading the—I don't even know how to explain it—but that's primarily why I never go on TikTok, because I cannot stand that artificial voice.Jess LaheyI listened to—I listened to an article yesterday with The New York Times that was AI-generated that was better than those awful TikTok voices, but still, you know—still AI.Sarina BowenYeah. So, I am not going to spend our time discussing whether those voices are good or not, but it has really gotten messy. At the beginning of AI narration, some platforms said, “No way, no how. We will never have one.” And then a lot of platforms suddenly allowed for it. So, there's lots of AI narration in the world, and it's causing real havoc, especially among people whose livelihoods are being affected by a drop in audio work. I really believe that the readers of my books care very much about the delivery, and it's hard for me to think that an AI voice could carry the kind of emotion that romance readers are looking for in an audiobook. So, I hope—I hope that audio listeners continue to demand quality, because it's a big deal.Jess LaheyAt least right now, your listeners—you know, they love Teddy Hamilton. Or, you know, there are audiobook narrators who are very specifically—people get excited when they see a particular narrator's voice attached to your work. And I think—and again, in Thank You for Listening, there's that good—she goes into great detail on that whole inside baseball of narrator fans. And like, Teddy Hamilton has fans—has a fan base. And I hope that persists, because I think there's real value in that. I hope there's real value in that, and I hope people continue to value it.Sarina BowenYeah, and I don't think that's going away anytime soon. People really aren't clamoring to see AI Meryl Streep on the screen at the movies—and, you know, paying a movie ticket price for that. And I believe that in narration land, yeah, it's the people coming up that will suffer the most—the newer narrators who don't have a fan base yet and are struggling to get work. So, yeah—anyway, that is one thing. And we could talk about how to get your book done in AI production now, but I think we won't, because...Jess LaheyYeah.Sarina BowenBecause that's, you know, not—you can figure that out yourself if that's interesting to you. But, um, I believe that humans are still the way to go here.Jess LaheyThere was an interesting note. So, when I said that I worked really hard to get the chops to narrate my own audiobook—I mean, I went to go work for Vermont Public Radio. I recorded these commentaries. And these commentaries that my producer taught me how to record—there was a really interesting note she gave me, which is that these commentaries are really short, like just a couple of minutes—less than three minutes. And one of the things she taught me is that when I'm reading these commentaries, if at the end I look up at my producer and smile and make eye contact with my producer that it makes the narrator be even more connected to the listener. And she's absolutely right. You could hear a difference in the commentary when I was making eye contact with my producer, and I find that fascinating and intangible and magic. There is a magic in that that I hope we do not lose with AI.Sarina BowenYes, absolutely—and that is a fantastic place to close this episode.Jess LaheyAbsolutely.Sarina BowenLet's not lose that magic.Jess LaheyIf there are things you would like us to talk about when it comes to the nerdery of publishing—in the Publishing Nerd Corner—if you're a huge fan of publishing nerdery, I also would love to recommend that you go over and follow Jane Friedman immediately, because she is such a great writer about the nerdery stuff in publishing. But we will continue to talk about it. If there are things you would like to know about, please let us know.But until next week, keep your butt in the chair and your head in the game.NarratorThe Hashtag AmWriting Podcast is produced by Andrew Perrella.

In the conclusion to their Mike Nichols miniseries, Phil and Emily welcome Joe Reid (Vulture, This Had Oscar Buzz) to unpack Angels in America: Part Two Perestroika.The trio dives deep into how Nichols translated Tony Kushner's monumental stage play into one of HBO's most ambitious miniseries exploring its themes of prophecy, identity, queer resilience, and the intersection of politics and spirituality in 1980s America. They discuss the legacy of Angels as both a masterpiece of television and a cultural turning point for the medium itself, its sweeping performances from Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, and Mary-Louise Parker, and how Nichols closed out his career redefining prestige TV.This episode caps a thoughtful look back at Nichols' 2000s work, from Wit to Angels in America, examining how he brought cinematic intimacy to television storytelling.

"Celebrities provide an escape from the mundane. They are photographed so we can worship them—so they are worthy of our worship." -- David LaChapelle "A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed." -- Richard Avedon   In this episode Antonio and Ward take on the world of celebrity portraiture — from the classic work of masters like Irving Penn, Avedon, and Karsh to modern takes by photographers such as Platon and Tyrell Hampton. Their discussion starts with Oscar Isaac's recent GQ shoot and spirals into a larger conversation about what it means to photograph fame: whether we're seeing the real person or a performance crafted for the camera. They weigh how much control the celebrity, the photographer, and the publication each have in shaping these images, and how context — from lighting to location — turns a portrait into a cultural artifact. The two also reflect on why celebrity portraits endure long after the marketing fades, comparing timeless images like Audrey Hepburn's portrait by Irving Penn and Platon's unnerving shot of Vladimir Putin. Along the way, they contrast authenticity and artifice, recalling famous stories behind iconic portraits — from Churchill's scowl to Meryl Streep's unretouched close-up.    Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Ra đời 30 năm trước, Những cây cầu quận Madison (The Bridges of Madison County, 1995) để lại dấu ấn khó phai về chuyện tình ngắn ngủi giữa bà nội trợ Francesca và nhiếp ảnh gia Robert. Không gian phim quê mùa, tiết tấu chậm rãi nhưng bùng nổ cảm xúc nhờ màn hóa thân xuất sắc của minh tinh Meryl Streep và bàn tay đạo diễn Clint Eastwood. Tóm tắt truyện phim Bộ phim chuyển thể từ tiểu thuyết cùng tên (có tựa đề khác là Tình yêu giữa trắng và đen) của nhà văn Mỹ Robert James Waller phát hành năm 1992. Câu chuyện mở ra chuyện tình lãng mạn của Francesca, bà nội trợ Mỹ gốc Ý sống tại miền quê Iowa những năm 1960. Bà đem lòng yêu Robert, một nhiếp ảnh gia tạp chí danh tiếng National Geographic. Robert tình cờ ghé thăm khu vực để sáng tác ấn phẩm ảnh có những cây cầu gỗ mái che tại địa hạt Madison. Chuyện tình chỉ kéo dài bốn ngày nhưng ám ảnh Francesca suốt cả cuộc đời cho đến khi bà qua đời. Tiểu thuyết được coi là một trong những tác phẩm thành công nhất thế kỷ 20 ngang ngửa với Chuyện tình (Eric Segal, năm 1970) với sức tiêu thụ 50 triệu ấn bản toàn cầu. Giới phê bình nhận xét tiểu thuyết này lãng mạn hóa một chuyện tình có thực, tuy nhiên, nhân vật trong tiểu thuyết hoàn toàn hư cấu. Những lựa chọn then chốt Hollywood không thể đứng yên trước sức hút nam châm của tiểu thuyết của Robert James nhằm chế biến thành tác phẩm màn bạc triệu đô. Đáng chú ý, Clint Eastwood đóng ba vai trò chủ đạo: nhà sản xuất, đạo diễn khiêm diễn viên chính cho bộ phim. Clint Eastwood gây bất ngờ nhất khi xoay mình sang thể loại phim không phải thế mạnh vốn có. Ông từng giành giải Oscar cho phim cao bồi Unforgiven (Không dung thứ) năm 1993. Điểm mấu chốt thứ hai, biên kịch Richard LaGraveese cũng là người chắp bút kịch bản cho hàng loạt phim tình cảm ăn khách như The mirror has two faces (Chiếc gương hai mặt), P.S I love you (Tái bút anh yêu em), Paris, Je t'aime (Paris tôi yêu em). Thứ ba, gương mặt “chọn mặt gửi vàng” chính là siêu sao Meryl Streep, từng đoạt 2 giải Oscar (tính tại thời điểm bộ phim ra mắt). Meryl không ngại bất cứ thử thách vai diễn khó khăn nào, cho dù vai diễn Francesca đòi hỏi sự giằng xé nội tâm dữ dội. Ngân sách phim rất khiêm tốn (chỉ 22 triệu đô), ba quyết định then chốt (đạo diễn, biên kịch, diễn viên chính) kèm theo tiếng vang của tiểu thuyết đã giúp nhà sản xuất gặt hái thành công thương mại 182 triệu đôla. Meryl Streep được đề cử Oscar cho Nữ diễn viên chính xuất sắc nhất. Bí mật chôn vùi hơn ba thập kỷ Tiết tấu phim rất chậm rãi như hành trình khám phá cuốn hồi ký Francesca ngược thời gian. Mở màn ở thực tại những năm 1990, khi hai người con, Michael và Carolyn đoàn tụ ngôi nhà vùng nông thôn Iowa sau khi bà mẹ Francesca qua đời. Họ thực sự sốc khi biết rằng bà mẹ yêu cầu hỏa táng và rắc tro từ trên cây cầu gỗ Roseman, chứ không phải chôn cạnh người cha Richard quá cố của họ. Bí mật sáng tỏ khi họ khám phá chiếc hộp bí ẩn gồm sổ tay, ảnh chụp Francesca tại cây cầu gỗ và những lá thư của người đàn ông xa lạ có tên Robert Kincaid. Sau đó, phim lội ngược dòng thời gian về năm 1965 với chuyện tình 4 ngày của Francesca với người đàn ông Robert khi cả chồng con đi vắng xa nhà. Cuốn hồi ký mô tả cuộc tình sâu đậm giữa Francesca và Robert, dường như họ muốn bỏ trốn cùng nhau. Một mặt, bà băn khoăn về mối quan hệ lâu dài giữa bà và Robert. Mặt khác, Francesca cảm thấy trách nhiệm với cuộc hôn nhân thiếu cảm xúc, hối tiếc nếu bỏ lại những đứa con vị thành niên và người chồng chung thủy. Sau khi Richard qua đời, Francesca tìm cách liên lạc với Robert nhưng chỉ biết ông không còn làm ở tạp chí National Geographic. Ba năm sau khi chồng bà mất, Robert cũng qua đời và để lại hết kỷ vật cho bà, tro của ông rải xuống sông trên cây cầu Roseman. Câu chuyện cảm động, đầy tính nhân văn, lay động trái tim Michael và Carolyn. Họ thực hiện đúng lời nguyện ước của bà mẹ trên cây cầu nảy nở tình yêu giữa Francesca và Robert. Điểm nhấn cảm xúc và cao trào Đạo diễn Clint Eastwood chọn phong cách cổ điển trong cách kể chuyện và kết thúc. Ông phơi bày được sự khác biệt giữa chồng Richard và người tình Robert chỉ nhờ không khí trên bàn ăn. Một người hầu như chỉ tập trung ăn và một người tìm cách trò chuyện với Francesca. Nhờ vậy, chuyện tình của họ trở nên sống động và thuyết phục nhờ diễn xuất tinh tế của Meryl Streep. Phổ diễn xuất của bà chuyển tải sắc nét của tâm trạng đang yêu và khoảnh khắc xao động gặp lại người tình Robert dưới cơn mưa. Ít người biết rằng Meryl Streep không phải lựa chọn đầu tiên cho vai này. Hai minh tinh người Pháp và Ý, Catherine Deneuve và Isabelle Rosellini từng đến thử vai, cũng được nhà sản xuất ưng ý. Tuy nhiên, Clint Eastwood kiên định mời bằng được Meryl Streep cho vai diễn linh hồn của bộ phim. Tài năng của Meryl Streep không phụ niềm tin của đạo diễn. Ấn tượng nhất phim là trường đoạn Francesca ngồi trên xe trong cơn mưa ngắm Robert cố ý treo sợi dây chuyền bạc như lời cầu hôn. Cái tài của đạo diễn đẩy nhân vật vào sự lựa chọn khắc nghiệt nhất: Bỏ đi hay ở lại ? Đôi tay bà run rẩy muốn mở cửa xe bỏ trốn, nhưng cảm xúc trào dâng khiến bà bật khóc. Lý trí và cảm xúc trong Francesca đạt tới điểm bùng nổ dữ dội. Quyết định ở lại cùng chồng con không phải lựa chọn dễ dàng nhưng đầy tính nhân văn. Bà chọn cái chết hỏa táng và rắc tro cùng với người tình. Đó là câu trả lời muộn màng cho lời cầu hôn của nhiếp ảnh gia Robert. But the closer Robert gets, the clearer he can see that she is crying. And he stops. Without any words, he realizes what taking her with him would mean. With just a glance, he sacrifices her. With their eyes locked in the middle of Main Street - in front of the whole town - they smile and say goodbye. For a moment, I didn't know where I was. And for a split second, the thought crossed my mind that he really didn't want me - that it was easy to walk away. Khi Robert tiến lại gần hơn, anh càng thấy rõ hơn cô đang khóc và anh dừng lại. Với cái nhìn đó, anh đã hy sinh cô ấy. Ánh mắt họ khóa chặt lấy nhau trên giữa con phố, nơi họ mỉm cười và chào tạm biệt. (Francesca tự sự): Thực tại, tôi không thể biết mình đang ở đâu. Trong một giây phút ngắn ngủi, ý nghĩ chợt nảy ra trong đầu tôi rằng anh ấy thực sự không muốn tôi. Có thể dễ dàng bỏ đi vậy sao ? Tính khái quát và thực dụng kiểu Mỹ Hôn nhân có thể là nơi chôn vùi cảm xúc nhưng “miền đất hứa” tình cảm phải đối diện với thực tế khắc nghiệt và sự toàn vẹn. Đạo diễn Clint Eastwood khắc họa được cuộc chiến tranh tâm lý phức tạp của Francesca : không có máu đổ, không có tiếng súng nhưng dai dẳng, đeo bám cả cuộc đời. Cụ thể, bà nội trợ vùng Iowa phải lựa chọn giữa tình cảm và lý trí, giữa gia đình và người tình, giữa trách nhiệm và sự nuông chiều bản thân. Bộ phim phản ánh tính cách Mỹ, sự thực dụng kiểu Mỹ khi tường thuật lại một chuyện tình tuổi trung niên. Họ chỉ được phép chọn một lựa chọn duy nhất giữa muôn vàn lựa chọn. Trên tất cả, họ hiểu được điều quan trọng nhất trong cuộc sống tại từng thời điểm. Tuổi đời 30 năm của Những cây cầu quận Madison giúp khán giả yêu chậm, sống chậm để nhận ra triết lý tinh tế mà đạo diễn gửi gắm. (Theo Variety, Wikipedia, Roger Ebert)

Ấn tượng nhất phim là trường đoạn Francesca ngồi trên xe trong cơn mưa ngắm Robert cố ý treo sợi dây chuyền bạc như lời cầu hôn. Cái tài của đạo diễn đẩy nhân vật vào sự lựa chọn khắc nghiệt nhất: Bỏ đi hay ở lại ? Đôi tay bà run rẩy muốn mở cửa xe bỏ trốn, nhưng cảm xúc trào dâng khiến bà bật khóc. Lý trí và cảm xúc trong Francesca đạt tới điểm bùng nổ dữ dội. Quyết định ở lại cùng chồng con không phải lựa chọn dễ dàng nhưng đầy tính nhân văn. Bà chọn cái chết hỏa táng và rắc tro cùng với người tình. Đó là câu trả lời muộn màng cho lời cầu hôn của nhiếp ảnh gia Robert. But the closer Robert gets, the clearer he can see that she is crying. And he stops. Without any words, he realizes what taking her with him would mean. With just a glance, he sacrifices her. With their eyes locked in the middle of Main Street - in front of the whole town - they smile and say goodbye. For a moment, I didn't know where I was. And for a split second, the thought crossed my mind that he really didn't want me - that it was easy to walk away. Khi Robert tiến lại gần hơn, anh càng thấy rõ hơn cô đang khóc và anh dừng lại. Với cái nhìn đó, anh đã hy sinh cô ấy. Ánh mắt họ khóa chặt lấy nhau trên giữa con phố, nơi họ mỉm cười và chào tạm biệt. (Francesca tự sự): Thực tại, tôi không thể biết mình đang ở đâu. Trong một giây phút ngắn ngủi, ý nghĩ chợt nảy ra trong đầu tôi rằng anh ấy thực sự không muốn tôi. Có thể dễ dàng bỏ đi vậy sao ? Tính khái quát và thực dụng kiểu Mỹ Hôn nhân có thể là nơi chôn vùi cảm xúc nhưng “miền đất hứa” tình cảm phải đối diện với thực tế khắc nghiệt và sự toàn vẹn. Đạo diễn Clint Eastwood khắc họa được cuộc chiến tranh tâm lý phức tạp của Francesca : không có máu đổ, không có tiếng súng nhưng dai dẳng, đeo bám cả cuộc đời. Cụ thể, bà nội trợ vùng Iowa phải lựa chọn giữa tình cảm và lý trí, giữa gia đình và người tình, giữa trách nhiệm và sự nuông chiều bản thân. Bộ phim phản ánh tính cách Mỹ, sự thực dụng kiểu Mỹ khi tường thuật lại một chuyện tình tuổi trung niên. Họ chỉ được phép chọn một lựa chọn duy nhất giữa muôn vàn lựa chọn. Trên tất cả, họ hiểu được điều quan trọng nhất trong cuộc sống tại từng thời điểm. Tuổi đời 30 năm của Những cây cầu quận Madison giúp khán giả yêu chậm, sống chậm để nhận ra triết lý tinh tế mà đạo diễn gửi gắm. (Theo Variety, Wikipedia, Roger Ebert)

This week on Three Lil Fishes, we kick off the holiday season with a conversation all about connection—the kind that happens around the table, through the stories we tell, and the dishes we keep making year after year.Nancy shares how baking Producer Tim's grandmother's apple strudel keeps loved ones close, even when they're gone. Kathy tells how The Wizard of Oz became part of her husband's Thanksgiving tradition, and whether she'll rekindle that tradition this year. The sisters debate whether Ambrosia Salad deserves a comeback (Producer Tim says "Yes, please!"). They also reflect on how to show up for friends and family who are struggling through the holidays, and how even a small gesture—a text, a shared meal, a craft gone slightly sideways—can keep us all feeling close.And of course, the episode wraps up with What's for Dinner, featuring Nancy's cozy corn chowder recipe—perfect for chilly November nights.Head to the show notes page at threelilfishes.com/shownotes for recipes, crafts, and photos from this week's episode (including the craft we made for our tables)

Hey there! LTNS!Today we take a look at a pair of films that deal with the creation of a film, but the catch is that the source material is notoriously difficult to adapt. Consequently the crux of the story we see involves the difficulty the creators are having putting the thing together. We start with ADAPTATION (2002), directed by Spike Jonze. We've got a terrific ensemble cast including Nicolas Cage, Chris Cooper, Meryl Streep and more. Cage is a man who suffers from anxiety and depression, and he can't get his act together to write an adaptation of the book The Orchid Thief. His twin brother shows up and decides that he wants to write a movie script. Hijinks ensue. Now that we've seen the struggles with the script writing process, move on to Part 2, where we observe the struggles with the filmmaking side of things.

On the penultimate regular season episode of The Catered Quiz, communications expert Brad Ford joins the show to answer questions about The Simpsons and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We also talk about working together, traveling together and Meryl Streep.  

Susan Orlean is the best selling author of seven books including The Orchid Thief and The Library Book, and has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1992. On stage at the Vancouver Writers Fest, she talks about being curious about the world, and how that's led her to the most unexpected stories. She tells the stories behind her stories of the American Man at Age 10, being portrayed by Meryl Streep, becoming the patron saint of pandemic drinking, and why ending her marriage made her think of a tire driving over a nail. Her new memoir is titled Joyride.

EPISODE 111 -  “CELEBRATING DIANE KEATON: THE HIDDEN GEMS OF A HOLLYWOOD ORIGINAL” - 10/27/25 When DIANE KEATON passed away on October 11, 2025, she left behind an incredible legacy of important films and stunning performances that were some of the best of the era. Her youthful effervescence, her fashion style, everything about her belied mortality.  Most people think of her masterful, Oscar-winning performance in Annie Hall, (1977) but her career is so much more than that one role. Over the past five decades, her filmography is a study in contrasts: farce, heart wrenching dramas, rom-coms with a twist — she's taken risks, playing complicated women (even in the lighter faire), and made some really interesting choices. In this episode, we're going to take a look at some of the films Diane Keaton made that don't always get the spotlight they deserve. Watching these films, whether for the first time or a revisit, you realize just how bold and varied her work was. Whether in a quiet drama focusing on an intimate character study, a quirky comedy, or something completely unexpected, Diane Keaton always brought a mix of honesty, humor, and heart that was entirely her own.  So, today we honor the life and legacy of the multifaceted Diane Keaton. SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IBDB.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned: Play It Again, Sam (1972), starring Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, & Tony Roberts; Looking For Mr, Goodbar (1977), starring Diane Keaton, Tuesday Weld, William Atherton, Richard Gere, Richard Riley, Allen Fienstein, Tom Berenger,  Priscilla Pointer, & LaVar Burton; Interiors (1978), starring Diane Keaton, Mary Beth Hurt, Kristin Griffith, Geraldine Page, E.G.

Before he was Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones or the commanding presence of The Jewel in the Crown, Charles Dance was a boy from Worcestershire whose father died when he was three and whose mother built a new life for the family, remarried to their lodger. A childhood marked by loss, a stammer and humble beginnings gave little hint of the commanding actor he would become.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the Emmy-nominated actor to trace an extraordinary journey from working-class Devon to the stages of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Hollywood sets alongside Meryl Streep, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maggie Smith. Dance reveals how two eccentric mentors in rural Devon taught him to speak, act and think like an actor, and why, even now at 79, he still considers himself a “working actor” rather than a star.It's an intimate, reflective conversation about identity, perseverance, class, craft and the enduring magic of the stage- told with the wit and humility of a man who's seen it all and still can't quite believe his luck.

She has worked as a reporter for Metro News, The Sundance Channel, Shaw TV, and CKUA radio in news, entertainment, and lifestyle beats.

This week on After Reality, I'm catching up after fall break and sharing a few family updates—then diving into some unexpected news that stirred up a few emotions. Let's just say, Taylor Swift has been my soundtrack lately.From there, I unpack the latest Bachelor drama, including Nicole's bold “power villain” move on Mel Owen's season, with a little help from the sharp minds at Game of Roses.And to wrap things up, I celebrate the incomparable Diane Keaton with a touching Meryl Streep tribute and reflect on how Diane's timeless spirit continues to inspire me. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

One survived Arctic warfare training in polar bear territory, the other made it through a Milan fashion show featuring Meryl Streep. Together, Brad and David have faced danger in the face and lived to tell the tale. Back stateside, the real entertainment begins. From "Trump 2028" hats to AI-generated sombreros on congressional leaders, the President's trolling game reaches operatic heights. Ultimately, JD Vance acts as mediator and offers a ceasefire agreement: no more sombrero memes if Democrats vote to reopen the government.Then Pope Francis, speaking from his impenetrable fortress guarded by Swiss pikemen where your huddled masses definitely aren't welcome, lectures America about the audacity of monitoring its borders. The verdict? If you lock your doors at night, you don't get to demand a nation leave its borders unguarded. If you don't live here, your opinion is as worthless as a Vatican visitor's pass.

This week, Louis is joined by comedian Brendan Scannell to discuss Taylor Swift's new album, The Life of a Showgirl, as well as The Rock's A24 debut in The Smashing Machine. Jesse Williams also joins to discuss his new Amazon series, Hotel Costiera, his experience with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Meryl Streep on Only Murders in the Building, as well as his memories of the late Richard Greenberg and his the Tony-winning play, Take Me Out. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's Only Murders in the Building. This week's episode took a Lost turn by showing us flashbacks from Oliver's formative years in Brooklyn. Plus, Meryl Streep returns, after a fire in Loretta's apartment that is hand-waved away much too quickly. We're sure it will be back.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 5, episode 7. We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Enquêtrice de la fabrique des images Murielle Joudet le répète à l'envi : « Il faut prendre les actrices au sérieux, restituer avec justice et justesse leur importance dans nos vies, prendre en compte comment certaines ont su manœuvrer pour continuer d'apparaître telles qu'en elles-mêmes, y compris dans des films où le regard masculin est apparemment tout-puissant. Sans pour autant tomber dans l'illusion de leur liberté absolue car, bien sûr, l'industrie est là, souveraine. » Dans son troisième livre plein d'esprit, La seconde femme, elle dresse huit portraits de comédiennes qu'elle observe « jusqu'à plus soif » pour comprendre ce que Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Brigitte Bardot ou son idole Bette Davis réussirent à imposer au système dans le deuxième acte de leur carrière – à force de travail, de bâtons de dynamite ou de simple désertion.Ces derniers temps, Murielle Joudet a aimé Monte-Cristo version Pierre Niney, Max Mad : Furiosa, Joker 2, Bridget Jones 4, France de Bruno Dumont, The Substance de Coralie Fargeat, Anora de Sean Baker ou Spring breakers d'Harmony Korine. Des coups de cœur éclectiques, qui se comptent chaque année sur les doigts d'une main. « Habituellement, confie-t-elle, on peut écrire le texte dans sa tête pendant la projo, on sait exactement ce qu'on pense du film à la sortie et la plupart des œuvres font de moi une critique snob et blasée. Mais une ou deux fois par an, un film me désarme complètement. »En conséquence, cette spectatrice exigeante préférera toujours « voir cinquante fois un chef-d'œuvre plutôt qu'une fois une œuvre plaisante », selon la formule de la cinéaste et écrivaine Catherine Breillat, femme « scandale » à laquelle Joudet consacre en 2023 un recueil d'entretiens, Je ne crois qu'en moi, sacré meilleur ouvrage français sur le cinéma par le Syndicat de la critique.Dans ce troisième et dernier épisode, Murielle Joudet réaffirme ses envies d'enquêtes sur la fabrique des images, en « calmant ses envies de style, sans chercher l'éclat à tout prix ». Tout en rappelant l'existence d'un collectif qui ne manquera pas de fédérer des vocations : « Pigistes en pyjama ».L'autrice du mois : Murielle JoudetNée en 1991 à Paris, Murielle Joudet est critique de cinéma dans la presse (Le Monde), à la radio (sur France Inter pour Le masque et la plume), en ligne (dans le podcast Sortie de secours ou via l'émission Dans le film sur le site Hors-Série) ou pour la Cinémathèque française.
