We also run through our Spotify Wrapped 2025 and roast each other accordingly. ⭐️ TOPIC 1 — The Best Christmas Specials Ever We go through TimeOut's list and then immediately derail into our own picks — classics, weird ones, cartoons, South Park moments, and the one Christmas special or movie we absolutely have to watch every year. Plus we talk post-2000s Christmas episodes, including:• The Sopranos — Bobby as Santa, Paulie threatening him, a kid telling Santa “F*** you.” A holiday mood.• Aqua Teen Hunger Force — Meatwad's cursed t-shirt, “Horror Claus,” and Santa getting rebuilt with soccer-ball skin. Totally normal Christmas stuff. We also read your Patreon & Facebook picks, featuring everything from Die Hard debates to Bad Santa, Ernest Saves Christmas, Home Alone, The Ref, and more. ⭐️ TOPIC 2 — STRANGER THINGS (Final Season!) Everyone except Tim is watching and enjoying it.Everyone except Tim has opinions.Tim is busy hate-watching “Temu Stranger Things” (Welcome to Derry) instead. We break down the new season, what's working, what's not, and whether the finale sticks the landing.

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 on Myopia Movies, we learn how the world became entranced with Henry Cavill and started to fall out with Zack Snyder. We watched Man of Steel home to the world's most vindictive Pa Kent and the one where Superman kills thousands in his final fight. Happy Thanksgiving from us at Myopia and safe shopping and travels today! How will Man of Steel hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Keiko, Matthew, Nur, Alex Directed by Zack Snyder Starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane, Russell Crowe, Antje Traue, Harry Lennix, Richard Schiff, Christopher Meloni, Kevin Costner, Ayelet Zurer, Laurence Fishburne
Russell Crowe shines in Nuremberg as Hermann Göring, who became the face of the Nazi Party following Hitler's suicide and the end of the war, as he's held in custody and probed by a psychiatrist as the titular trials approach. Indeed, while a mediocre film, its actors' performances are a pleasure - with the exception of Rami Malek, whose psychiatrist is twitchy, busy, and a failure. A shame that he's the protagonist, then. We discuss the film's structure and screenplay: José contends that Malek's character is not just badly played but an irrelevance, and the drama would be much better served by focusing on Michael Shannon's prosecutor; Mike criticises what he claims is a stupid person's idea of clever writing. And there's more to think about: how Nuremberg compares to Bridge of Spies, which similarly depicted a novel trial that had obvious implications beyond the courtroom, and Judgment at Nuremberg, the other major dramatisation of the trials; the film's tone, which is able to handle moments of humour but sometimes veers into the overly glib and kitsch; the present-day rise of fascism and the genocide in Gaza to which the film speaks; the use of real footage of Holocaust victims and the purpose to which it's put; and whether we think that its critique of the Catholic Church for its support of the Nazis, and suggestion that dropping the atomic bomb on Japan was an unjustifiable atrocity, are surprising and bold things for a mainstream American film to do... or not particularly impressive, and shouldn't people just know this stuff anyway? Recorded on 23rd November 2025.

“Death by Lightning,” starring Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen as President James Garfield and his assassin Charles Guiteau, is based on Kansas City author Candice Millard's New York Times bestselling book “Destiny of the Republic.”
Welcome to your pre-Thanksgiving treat, a convoluted podcast about three big things we've seen this week plus a couple of honorable mentions. First, Nuremberg, which stars Rami Malek and Russel Crowe, is a true story about the psychiatrists who tried to get to the bottom of what made the Nahzees tick during WWII. It's a decent film, and of course also stars Michael Shannon. Then, we go onto the mess that is Running Man, staring Glen Powell. Is it bad? Eh? It's not great. Finally, we conclude with Death By Lightning, which is on Netflix right now. That show tells the true story about President James Garfield's assassination (and also has Michael Shannon, he's everywhere). So no, we didn't see Bugonia yet, thank god, but I also missed out on Predator Badlands. Shoot.
Michael Shannon is an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Emmy, and Tony Award-nominated actor with a distinguished career in film, television, and theater. This fall, he stars opposite Russell Crowe and Rami Malek in the historical drama NUREMBERG and plays President James Garfield in the Netflix series DEATH BY LIGHTNING. DEATH BY LIGHTNING dramatizes the stranger-than-fiction true story of 20th U.S. President James Garfield and his admirer, Charles Guiteau, who assassinated him. In this interview, we talk about his career, his latest project DEATH BY LIGHTNING, inspirations and acting philosophy, the type of roles that intrigue him, and much more. Want more?

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.

This week’s Nose looks at the way Saturday Night Live is using its cold opens to deal with the never-ending firehose of news each week — and the way James Austin Johnson’s recurring impression of President Trump is central to that strategy. Plus: Pope Leo XIV announced his four favorite movies this week ahead of a “World of Cinema” event at the Vatican this weekend. And: Death by Lightning is a four-part Netflix limited series about the James A. Garfield presidency and assassination. Its ensemble cast includes Michael Shannon as Garfield, Nick Offerman as Vice President Chester A. Arthur, and Matthew Macfadyen as assassin Charles Guiteau.

We're covering Death by Lightning, Netflix's four-episode retelling of President James Garfield's assassination. Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen tackle Garfield and the man hanged for killing him, Charles Guiteau. The series mixes political drama, medical tragedy, and historical recreation. Having read Destiny of the Republic, we hold the show to account: what it gets right, what it condenses, and what it flat-out invents. We break down the highlights (the 36-ballot convention, sharp lines lifted from the book, strong supporting turns from Bradley Whitford and Shea Whigham, and a well-staged shooting), along with the choices that miss the mark (compressed science, softened villains, and history buff head-scratchers). Tune in, and welcome to Today's Episode!
Ein Netflix-Triple steht bei uns in dieser Woche im Fokus. Zum Auftakt nehmen sich Michael, Holger und Rüdiger den Thriller "The Beast in Me" (4:40) vor, der die Schauspiel-Schwergewichte Claire Danes und Matthew Rhys zusammenbringt bzw. gegeneinander aufbringt. Garantiert Showrunner Howard Gordon, der zuvor schon "24" und mit Danes zusammen "Homeland" gemacht hat, automatisch für Spannung? Stark besetzt ist auch die Politserie "Death by Lightning" (29:42) über die Ermordung des 20. US-Präsidenten James A. Garfield. Michael Shannon, Matthew Macfadyen, Nick Offerman, Shea Whigham und Bradley Whitford haben sich die schönsten Bärte aus dem Kostümfundus geholt und liefern sich ein Duell um das Weiße Haus mit tragischem Ende. Tragisch geht es auch in der polnischen Serie "Heweliusz" (53:16) zu, die das Fährunglück aus dem Jahr 1993 wiedergibt und versucht, Antworten auf die immer noch offenen Fragen der Katastrophe zu geben. Katastrophal auf ganz andere Art ist dagegen Ryan Murphys neue Disney-Serie "All's Fair" (1:10:03) - besonders, weil sich niemand einen Gefallen damit getan hat, Kim Kardashian eine Hauptrolle als Schauspielerin zu geben. Wir haben kurz reingeschaut, damit ihr es nicht tun müsst. Cold-Open-Frage: "Wie könnte ,24' im Streaming-Zeitalter aussehen?"
Historian Candice Millard, author of Destiny of the Republic, discusses what it's like to have your book turned into a major Netflix Miniseries, Death by Lightning, and what first attracted her to the story of President James Garfield and the assassin Charles Guiteau. Support the show
Directed by James Vanderbilt, NUREMBERG tells the story of U.S. Army psychiatrist Lt. Col. Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek), the officer tasked with creating psychological profiles of high-ranking Nazi officers in the wake of the Second World War. As the world prepares to put these men for their war crimes, Kelley finds himself locked in a battle of wits with Hitler's chief officer, Hermann Goring (Russell Crowe). Through their conversations, Goring displays such charisma and cunning that gives Kelley surprising emotional pause, causing him to question how ordinary men can be guilty of extraordinary evil. In this 1on1, we speak to Vanderbilt and the film's star Michael Shannon about the lines of good vs. evil.NUREMBERG is in theatres now.

"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.

In February 2025 at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Georgia, something incredible happened. Jason Narducy, alongside actor Michael Shannon, were out touring their R.E.M. tribute project, where they perform early albums in full, alongside deep cuts from the back catalogue, when all 4 original members of R.E.M joined them to perform a version of “Pretty Persuasion”. Over the past couple of years various configurations of band members had performed with them, but having all 4 at once was clearly a historic moment. Jason's life in music has been quite something. Jason had a musical epiphany when, aged 8, his dad took him to see The Who movie “The Kids Are Alright”. He got an electric guitar aged 9, and by aged 10 he was playing in a punk band named Verboten. Tracey, was the oldest member of the band, aged 13, and just happened to be cousin of future Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl. Dave would later cite Verboten as a major inspiration for him in pursuing music, and Jason appeared in Dave's “Sonic Highways” series. Jason has gone on to perform with so many artists, but he's been a mainstay of Bob Mould's band since 2005, playing bass on 6 albums and touring with him. Jason also plays with bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate and Superchunk. He has his own musical project entitled Split Single, and plays intimate living room shows for fans. A few years ago he had the surreal experience of writing songs for a musical about his childhood band Verboten. As well as upcoming gigs with Bob Mould, Jason is heading back out on tour with Michael Shannon to perform R.E.M's brilliant 4th album, “Life's Rich Pageant”. It's no surprise we had a lot to talk about. Instagram: @sendingsignalspodcast

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.https://amzn.to/42UuycPBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

This week, Ben and Rob sink their teeth into Knives Out (2019), Rian Johnson's razor-sharp murder mystery starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and Toni Collette. A modern riff on Agatha Christie, Knives Out blends old-school detective tropes with wickedly funny satire and a cast firing on all cylinders.But who is Rian Johnson, really? Why was Knives Out written in the first place? How does the film prove Johnson is a master liar, using misdirection to keep audiences guessing until the very last moment? And how did the fallout from Star Wars: The Last Jedi shape the way he wrote this murder mystery in the first place?Most importantly; what does Knives Out really mean beneath the laughs, the sweaters, and Benoit Blanc's legendary accent? The lads dive into Johnson's layered storytelling, the legacy of the whodunnit genre, and why this film became one of the most beloved mysteries of the century.PLUS!
