THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture Our 2008 retrospective continues with "Revolutionary Road," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Michael Shannon, Kathryn Hahn, David Harbour, and Kathy Bates. Directed by Winslet's real-life husband at the time, Academy Award winner Sam Mendes, and adapted by Justin Haythe from the award-winning novel by Richard Yates, this was considered a huge Oscar contender on paper before its release around Christmas time in 2008. Once it was released, it received mixed but still positive reviews, with most of the praise going to the acting of Winslet, DiCaprio, and Shannon, and eventually scored three Oscar nominations. Winslet, though, despite winning the Golden Globe and receiving BAFTA and SAG nominations, was Oscar-nominated for her other 2008 contender, "The Reader." How has the period domestic drama held up all these years later? Please tune in as Lauren LaMagna, Dan Bayer, Amy Kim, and I talk about the Mendes's direction, the story's themes, Roger Deakins's cinematography, Thomas Newman's score, the performance, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

This week we have the good fortune to be talking dogs with Jason Narducy. The singer, songwriter, bassist, guitarist and author who's played with Bob Mould, Superchunk, Sunny Day Real Estate and the attention grabbing tours covering classic R.E.M. albums with actor Michael Shannon. Jason introduces us to his 6 year old brindled American Staffordshire Terrier Juniper who came into his family a year after losing their Black Lab Zoey. Jason recently took Juniper on tour so we dig into what that experience was like, the routine they developed that benefitted them both and much, much more. Fun talk from a great storyteller.Jason gave a unique and thoughtful shout out to Prairie Wolf and Pooch Park. Prairie Wolf is open daily from 6:30am to sunset and is one of five designated off-leash dog areas within the Lake County Forest Preserves.

The basis of the celebrated Paramount Network miniseries starring Michael Shannon and Taylor Kitsch--Waco is the critically-acclaimed, first person account of the siege by Branch Davidian survivor, David Thibodeau.Twenty-five years ago, the FBI staged a deadly raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. Texas. David Thibodeau survived to tell the story.When he first met the man who called himself David Koresh, David Thibodeau was a drummer in a local a rock band. Though he had never been religious in the slightest, Thibodeau gradually became a follower and moved to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. He remained there until April 19, 1993, when the compound was stormed and burned to the ground after a 51-day standoff with government authorities.In this compelling account--now with an updated epilogue that revisits remaining survivors--Thibodeau explores why so many people came to believe that Koresh was divinely inspired. We meet the men, women, and children of Mt. Carmel. We get inside the day-to-day life of the community. We also understand Thibodeau's brutally honest assessment of the United States government's actions. The result is a memoir that reads like a thriller, with each page taking us closer to the eventual inferno.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The random year generator spun 2013, and we decided to follow up our recent “Take Shelter” episode to see how Nichols handled the McConaissance.

We're pulling one last heist for you! And, holy shit, is that Seth MacFarlane as an annoying British energy drink salesman? Channing Tatum is the George Clooney of our BONUS this week, and he may not be as rich or suave as Danny Ocean, but he sure knows how to rob a racetrack. We couldn't resist hanging out in West Virginia with the Logan crew (and the Bang Bros), and man, is Daniel Craig an absolute freak in this one?

World War II was the biggest battle in history, and still is to this day. More people died during that war, than in any other event in world history. Of course at the end of it, there was a winner and there was a loser. Obviously one of the losers were the Nazis, and this episode's movie, “Nuremberg”, is about putting the Nazi high command on trial, notably Hermann Goring. Oscar winner Russell Crowe plays Goring, the second in command in Germany behind you know who. Another Oscar winner, Rami Malek, plays a U.S. Army psychiatrist who is sent in to evaluate Goring, and the other members of the high command, before the Nuremberg trials can begin. Michael Shannon plays Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, who didn't just want Goring and the others to just be executed. He wanted a trial to get Goring and company to tell the world what they're guilty of. It's a legal and high tension end to one of the most evil chapters in world history. Is it worth watching to see what happens? Check out this episode of Movies Merica to find out! “Nuremberg” also stars John Slattery, Leo Woodall, Wrenn Schmidt, Mark O'Brien, Lydia Peckham, Richard E. Grant, Colin Hanks, Lotte Verbeek and Andreas Pietschmann. Support the showFeel free to reach out to me via:@MoviesMerica on Twitter @moviesmerica on InstagramMovies Merica on Facebook
In an extension of our Chamber Piece Festival we dive into William Friedkin's underrated and frenetic 2006 film, Bug, starring Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon. Taking a guy home from the bar turns into a wild and intense relationship, where obsession becomes normal. Grwta movie and conversation. Enjoy!
Up, up, and away! This week the hosts suit up and take flight with Zack Snyder's Man of Steel — the bold reboot that reintroduced Superman to a new generation. Join Don, Jon, and Ken as they break down the film's powerhouse performances from Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, and the intense Michael Shannon as General Zod. The guys also dive into Hans Zimmer's thunderous score, Snyder's striking visual style, and the film's biggest talking points — including the controversial fate of Jonathan Kent and the massive destruction unleashed across Smallville and Metropolis. Along the way, the crew explores behind-the-scenes trivia, key plot moments, and how this darker take on the Last Son of Krypton stacks up against other Superman films and the larger DCEU. Is Man of Steel a modern superhero epic… or does it buckle under the weight of its own power? Grab your cape and join us as we decide if this reboot soars above the clouds or crashes back to Earth.
The room lifted before the first chord. Athens came alive with a storyteller's spark, a stripped-down trio threading classics and new cuts, and two supercharged nights honoring R.E.M.'s Life's Rich Pageant that turned a tribute into living history. We walked in as fans and left feeling like part of a scene that refuses to fade.We start with Jason Narducy weaving road stories from Mostly The Van between raw, punchy songs, including a punk blast from his first band and a brush with the Grohl family tree. Then Kevin Kinney and Peter Buck lock in with Scott McCaughey, Elizabeth Cook steps up on guitar and harmonies, and a Todd Snider salute lands with real weight. Five musicians shoulder to shoulder on a tiny stage close the night in a hush you can feel. The next evening, Bobcat Goldthwait cracks wise with self-deprecating gems, Michael Shannon and Narducy run Pageant front to back at the 40 Watt, where Hyena bites, I Believe glows, and Underneath The Bunker turns seismic when Bill Berry sits in. The crowd knows every word. The band knows exactly why they're here.Peter Buck joins for South Central Rain and Sitting Still; Radio Free Europe detonates with McCaughey; Star 69 brings the Monster snarl. Shannon's sister adds cello to Nightswimming, Linda Hopper honors Lynn Blakey, and Vanessa Briscoe Hay snaps the line to Pylon. We trace roots to Wuxtry Records at 50, the longest-running record store in Georgia and the place where Michael Stipe met Peter Buck. Along the way we unpack cover-song surprises like Superman, revisit California Dreamin's Barry McGuire take, and relive earworms from Garbage's Only Happy When It Rains to the family rituals that music quietly builds.If you love R.E.M., Athens indie rock, record store lore, and the electricity of a room singing in unison, this ride will hit you in the chest. Press play, share it with a friend who ever lost their voice at a show, and leave a review to help more music lovers find us.Send us a one-way message. We can't answer you back directly, but it could be part of a future Music In My Shoes Mailbag!!!
Residents in West Clare have been left shocked and disgusted after the discovery of dumped animal carcasses along a rural road in Kilmurry McMahon. The incident, described as “horrifying”, has renewed concerns about persistent illegal dumping across the county — with calls now for stronger enforcement measures, including CCTV at known blackspots. Joining Alan Morrissey on Monday's Morning Focus was June Dillon and Michael Shannon, Quilty Fianna Fáil Councillor.

Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy (and their musical friends) have definitely tapped into something with this "play R.E.M." thing. Mike & Jason originally started this exercise by playing album sets of some of their favorite artists like Neil Young, The Modern Lovers, The Smiths and more. But when they picked out Murmur by R.E.M. in 2023, the whole concept took off in a big way. After playing Fables of the Reconstruction last year, they are heading out on a big tour playing Lifes Rich Pageant. Both shows at the Metro in Chicago are sold out, but there are plenty of other dates available, including a September show at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago. Definitely worth checking them out!Time stamps3: How did the musical project come together?5:21: Are you a big R.E.M. fan?10: You got R.E.M. together!11:30: What part did Chicago play in getting this project going?15:30: What was the reception like as your project started taking off more and more?19: How did you enjoy Sky Blue Sky?21:08: There are parallels between acting and singing in a band, but in most cases, you aren't getting an immediate audience response, how do you feel about that difference?25: Have you had any insights into the difference between the four R.E.M. albums you've covered?30: Any stories from having spent time with the band?38: What else do you have going on aside from the upcoming show?

"Nuremberg," starring Russell Crowe, Rami Malek, and Michael Shannon, has renewed interest in the landmark trials of Nazi war criminals after the Second World War.

I first saw and interviewed Dag Juhlin more than 30 years ago when he was singing, writing and playing guitar with the power-pop trio the Slugs. He's had many musical lives since then, including playing in Poi Dog Pondering's expansive Chicago lineup, performing deep-cut covers in Expo'76 and Courtesy Patrol, supporting Len Kasper's songwriting in Sonic45 and singing and writing songs with his latest trio, Sunshine Boys. He's also about to hit the road with Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy and Friends to mark the 40th anniversary of R.E.M.'s Lifes Rich Pageant. He talks about all that here, including the striking popularity of the R.E.M. project, whether it's a tribute band or something else, and how that amazing photo of Juhlin with Michael Stipe came to be.

In this episode, Shanté and Danny make Michael Shannon the first actor they've covered four times with a truly special movie of his.
Mike Makowsky is an Emmy Award-winning American screenwriter and producer best known for writing and producing the 2019 HBO film BAD EDUCATION, starring Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney. In late 2025, Makowsky released the Netflix limited series DEATH BY LIGHTNING, which he created and wrote. The series chronicles the rise and assassination of U.S. President James A. Garfield, starring Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen. The project was adapted from Candice Millard's book Destiny of the Republic. We also spoke with actor Michael Shannon, who plays Garfield, in Episode 680 of the podcast. In this interview, we talk about the inspiration for the series DEATH BY LIGHTNING, the immense difficulty of mounting and finishing a period piece in the current industry landscape, advice on pitching historical fiction, and much more.

Michael Shannon understands he's associated with some intense, menacing characters he's played, like Agent Nelson Van Alden in ‘Boardwalk Empire.' “I'm a big fella, and I got this giant head, and it's not too difficult for me to seem intimidating I suppose, but it couldn't be further from what I'm actually like,” he tells Dave Davies. In two new projects, though, Shannon plays good guys. He's President James Garfield in the new series ‘Death by Lightning' and he's a prosecutor trying Nazi leaders for war crimes in the new film ‘Nuremberg.'Also, we hear from Rhea Seehorn, star of Apple TV's ‘Pluribus.' The series has a sci-fi premise, but the themes of the show are more existential. Like, what is happiness? What is the importance of individuality? She spoke with Terry Gross. Maureen Corrigan shares her list of the best books of the year.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

It's the most sickening time of year, and not just because President Trump pardoned a notorious convicted cocaine trafficker while continuing to execute suspected smugglers in the Caribbean without proving their guilt. Elsewhere, First Lady Melania Trump's audiobook is now available in Spanish, and a raccoon broke into a liquor store and helped himself to some free booze. Acclaimed actor Michael Shannon shares a preview of his performance alongside Russell Crowe in the new film “Nuremberg,” which depicts the dramatic trials where Nazis were prosecuted for crimes against humanity after WWII.

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast would surely deserve to get a full fat five points from Greg Davies, the Taskmaster himself, as Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and John Nugent apply themselves wholeheartedly (some more wholeheartedly than others, it must be said) to deciding which Taskmaster contestant has appeared in the best film. Then, the podteam take a look at the week's movie news and, in a bumper reviews section, cast their eyes over Edgar Wright's The Running Man, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Ruben Fleischer's Now You See Me: Now You Don't, Julia Ducournau's Alpha, Gurinder Chadha's Christmas Karma, and James Vanderbilt's Nuremberg. Three of those movies provide this week's guests, as Edgar Wright drops by the podbooth to natter with Chris about The Running Man, and meeting Stephen King; [21:43 - 33:05 approx] Now You Three Me's Isla Fisher and Rosamund Pike talk magic and manky accents, again with Chris; [56:16 - 1:09:05 approx] and Michael Shannon talks Nuremberg and (mostly) R.E.M., also with Chris. [1:42:53 - 1:55:38 approx] Oh, and there's a huge revelation about the pod itself lurking within there somewhere. Forget what you think you know... and enjoy.

"Nuremberg" is an American historical drama film written, co-produced, and directed by James Vanderbilt. It is based on the 2013 book "The Nazi and the Psychiatrist" by Jack El-Hai and tells the story of a psychiatrist, Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek), who is challenged with determining if Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe) is fit to stand trial at the Nuremberg trials. Leo Woodall, John Slattery, Mark O'Brien, Colin Hanks, Wrenn Schmidt, Lydia Peckham, Richard E. Grant, and Michael Shannon have supporting roles in the film. The film's world premiere was in the Gala Presentations section of the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto, where it received positive reviews and a four-minute standing ovation, one of TIFF's longest standing ovations ever.
