Season 7 Premier! Armed with a baseball bat and a big mouth, Joe Clark was a man with a mission: to turn around the test scores of the struggling "cauldron of violence" known as Eastside High in Paterson, New Jersey. The 1989 film, Lean on Me, chronicled Clark's plight while Morgan Freeman nailed his first starring role. But now, decades later, does this flick make us all feel like we're in detention? Why is everyone in this movie yelling? And, why fire the music teacher? The Old Roommates sign up for extra credit and revisit this crowdpleaser through their middle-aged lens.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Jeff Hiller to discuss his new memoir Actress of a Certain Age as well as his recent Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for the HBO series Somebody Somewhere. Jeff talks about being completely surprised by the nomination, his plan to enjoy every moment of the Emmy experience and how happy he is to get to share it with the series' star Bridget Everett who is nominated in the writing category. He also talks about what it meant to play such a kind, nuanced character like Joel after years of often snarky smaller parts with names like Flight Attendant and Waiter. He also talks about making a vision board that was eerily similar to Joel's and he made his long before he even knew about the show. He also recalls spending a semester as an exchange student in Namibia in college and the story in his book hat made Dennis cry about receiving a very gay sign from his mother after she passed away. Other topics include: why he likes auditioning, how doing a lot of improv helps him in day-to-day life, carving up a twink on American Horror Story and loving it, that time Ryan Murphy ordered more cockrings and why you should never let a new guy you're dating come to your improv show.

Middle age isn't something to fix or fear. It's a chance to take full ownership of who you are and how you want to live. At 46, Corinne Morahan is stepping into a new kind of power, and in this episode she shares six honest, hard-earned lessons that speak to confidence, clarity, and letting go of the need to prove anything to anyone. What would it feel like to stop performing and start trusting yourself fully? How would your life shift if you gave yourself permission to be the main character, not just the support act? Corinne challenges the old stories about aging and reminds us that this season of life can be bold, sexy, and deeply aligned if we choose to claim it.

What happens when the life you find yourself leading in midlife doesn't tick all the supposed boxes? That's the situation today's guest found herself in. Glynnis MacNicol was 46 - a woman of a so-called certain age who found herself living life without a roadmap when, in august 2021, after almost 18 months spent alone in lockdown, she picked herself up and packed herself off to Paris for a month of living, loving and, well, pleasure. I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself is the story of that month - a month spent in search of friendship, food, community, contact and sex. Plenty of sex. While she was at it Glynnis discovered that far from being, as she puts it, “past cultural appeal and expectation:, everything she'd been told about living life as a middle aged single woman was a lie. Glynnis joined me to talk pleasure, confidence, agency, learning to enjoy your body in midlife, knowing what you want and asking for it, sex, cycling, The joy and freedom of living life without a narrative and why she'd rather have a piece of prime Manhattan real estate than a husband! * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including I'm Mostly Here To Enjoy Myself as well as the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

"Leaving Las Vegas" RevisitedNicolas Cage won an Oscar (along with a case of other recognitions) for his role as Ben, an alcoholic with nothing left to lose in 1995's Leaving Las Vegas. Elisabeth Shue also scored raves and awards as Sera, Ben's angelic girlfriend / caretaker / sex worker. Yes, this heavy drama was drunk with both accolades and box office bucks. But now, decades later, does this whole ordeal leave us with a dated hangover? Does every movie hooker have to have a heart of gold? And is death-bed sex really a thing?

David Wain and Ken Marino are names you may recognize from their many movie and TV credits, including the “Wet Hot American Summer” franchise, “The Residence” on Netflix, and MTV's ‘90s sketch comedy show “The State.” Their latest venture is something a little different—they formed a garage band during the pandemic, and their jam session videos took off on YouTube. Now, “Middle Aged Dad Jam Band” is touring the country, performing covers of popular ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s songs. They're headed to Albany for Alive at Five on July 17, and Wain and Marino join Arts and Entertainment Editor Rick Marshall for a little preview.

Rich and T.A Shelano from The Middle-aged Bodcast join Flixwatcher to review Rich's choice The Matrix. The Matrix (1999) is the genre blending sci-fi action film written and directed by Lilly and Lana Wachowski. Set in dystopian future where humans have been dominated by AI and trapped inside a simulated reality called the ‘Matrix'. In the year 1999, Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) is a computer hacker who also goes by the name Neo, his online activity alerts both fellow hackers and Agents, notably Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving). He meets with Trinity (Carrie-Ann Moss) who explains that Morpheus (Laurence Fishbourne) believes him to be the “One” who will help them break free from the Matrix. It is impossible to avoid the influence The Matrix had on filmmaking and popular culture. The “bullet time' visual effect and wire work was highly influential on action films. Its terms around red pill / blue pill philosophy have been reused and even adopted by the alt-right. Recommendability scores for The Matrix were very high, losing points only on the small screen and it scores 4.53 overall.

We love a good comic book explosion. The Writer smashes superheroes, comic book history, Jewish Folklore, Indiana Jones, The Princess Bride, Mike Mignola, and a little Looney Tunes existential dread. It's born from a unique sibling collaboration between the Berkowitz Bros., Max and Ben, as well as actor Josh Gad, master illustrator Ariel Olivetti, and letterer Frank Cvetkovic. At its center is the aggressively middle-aged Stan Siegel, a comic book writer avoiding life's next big chapter, who gets sucked into a supernatural battle with demons and nazis. And drags his mother and daughter into that war alongside him. The Writer is a meta feast for those steeped in comics and pop culture, nodding to the iconic and not-so-iconic characters who populate our collective imagination. With the trade paperback now available from Dark Horse Comics, we were eager to have the Berkowitz Bros. on the show this week. We discuss their comic book origin stories, a particular Bob Kane painting, middle-aged hero worship, and celebrating family. The conversation stirs intense feelings about siblings and why they make the best and worst collaborators. Also, during this week's introduction, we dive into our first HeroesCon experience. Did we meet all the creators we wanted to meet? Did we buy all the comics we wanted to buy? Are Rick Quinn and Dave Chisholm as cool in person as they are in our six Spectrum podcast episodes? We get into it. And don't forget to follow the Berkowitz Bros. on Blue Sky, Instagram, and their website. This Week's Sponsor We're sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading! Within its pages is a whole universe of characters, from Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog to Rogue Trooper, Shakara, Halo Jones, and the poor sods slogging across the Cursed Earth in The Helltrekkers.

Podcasting can be hard. Kelly broke her mic and they're wasting on their good material on conversations when the mics are off. Either way, Kelly and Lizz are back to talk about the rudest comment they've gotten on social media that has them questioning if they are middle aged. Meanwhile, they are preparing for the Kentucky Derby this weekend and there is a bit of a fashion emergency. Kelly thought she had her whole outfit ready and it turns out it might not be all arriving in time. Will they both be able to get their outfits together for the big day Saturday? Lizz has a warning of a kidnapping scam that is going around and it's just another reason why AI can be really scary. However, Kelly would rather deal with AI than the people on the phone that have no idea what they are talking about. That's when we learn that if you need to get a problem solved to give Matty the phone. Since summer is almost here, the ladies are sharing their summer bucket list for 2025. Kelly wants to learn how to jar jalapeños, purge the house of unneeded baby stuff, make herself an outdoor space with the perfect vibe and spend more time at the lake. Lizz wants to create a playroom for the kids, perfect her popsicle game and spend more time in the water. There has been a trend going around the internet about Type C moms and it is so Lizz. What kind of mom is Kelly? Finally in Industry News, there is a new car manufacturer in town called Slate and they are making a customizable truck EV. Will it become a thing or a flash in the plan? Then in Ditch the Drive-Thru, It's all about pulled pork sheet pan nachos and the chicken alfredo bake from Costco. SHOP CLEAN SIMPLE EATS: https://glnk.io/0wvl/the-carpool Use code CARPOOL10
