It's time to wrap up this installment of Tillyvision, as Star Trek: Strange New World's "Ad Astra Per Aspera" comes to a close! We talk why we'd want to be part of a society that oppresses us, how and why we can be better, and maybe this show gives us a road map for how we can get there. Critic and journalist Mo Ryan returns to discuss how it's up to those with privilege to USE it to do what you can to help (and has a shoutout for Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg!). What can YOU do to help trans people? Who do we want to be?

On this episode, we're joined by Maureen "Mo" Ryan, a veteran reporter and Hollywood critic as we explore her first book, Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and the Call for Change in Hollywood. Together, we'll delve into how Mo leveraged years of research, reporting, and righteous anger, not only to challenge the industry's toxic norms but also consider how care, compassion, and a whole lot of outside-the-box thinking can make things better.

Chauncey welcomes back Vanity Fair contributing editor and author of "Burn It Down" Mo Ryan, to discuss how workplace conditions and the new streaming models have exasperated the already tenuous relationships between studios and creatives. She lays out why the strikes are different than they were in 2007 and why the strikes are resonating with people outside the industry. She also goes into the recent changes in toxic work environments and how there is still a long way to go. They end by gushing over the MAX series "Warrior" and how it uses genre and Kung Fu to show how labor back in the late 1800's isn't so different from 2023.

The entertainment industry is frequently called out for posturing as politically enlightened and progressive, yet beneath this veneer lies a troubling history of toxic, racist, and emotionally abusive working environments. This conduct would be deemed unacceptable in other sectors, so why does Hollywood often turn a blind eye? More crucially, what measures can be taken to address it? In this episode, Adam is joined by author and journalist Maureen Ryan to discuss the cycle of abuse and accountability, and the best course for remedying the ugly underbelly of show business.

Mo Ryan's book Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood is a deep dive into the trends that led to #MeToo and various racial reckonings in the industry, as well as a look at how much has changed in TV and film (and how much hasn't). She joins industry veterans Melinda Hsu Taylor and Javier Grillo-Marxuach (two respected voices also highlighted in the book) for a discussion about the industry's entrenched problems, modeling better forms of leadership, and why so many Hollywood workers are restive, on strike and/or already burning down the old Hollywood in order to build something better.This conversation was recorded live at ATX TV Festival Season 12 (June 1-4, 2023) in Austin, TX.PANELISTS:Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Co-EP / Writer, Cowboy Bebop, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)Melinda Hsu Taylor (Creator / Showrunner / EP, Tom Swift; Writer / Showrunner / EP, Nancy Drew)Mo Ryan (Author, Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood)SUBSCRIBE to youtube.com/ATXTV for more panels, conversations & events with your favorite TV creatives and casts.FOLLOW ATX TV:Twitter: twitter.com/ATXFestivalFacebook: facebook.com/ATXFestivalInstagram: instagram.com/atxfestival/TikTok: tiktok.com/@atxtv

We temporarily return from our mid-season break to hear from Burn It Down author Mo Ryan.She talks about writing her book, what she tried to achieve and her hopes for the industry.On her second podcast appearance she describes the toll writing a book like this takes, the chapters she didn't write and what she thinks about the future of Hollywood.A powerful interview with a passionate author about an important book.

More than a quarter century after The Full Monty unexpectedly charmed movie audiences, the boys are back for a limited-series TV sequel -- and not everyone on the panel is as charmed by Round 2. Mo Ryan returns to the guest chair to talk about unmitigated in "dramedies," whether TFM: The TV Show started as a feature-length sequel, and the correct amount of onscreen nudity. We went Around The Dial with Never Have I Ever, I, Tina, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds before Tara hoped a second-season episode of Reservation Dogs would get adopted into the Canon. Bill Hader won, The Crowded Room lost, and Game Time had us scouring the index of Mo's book. Grab a bag of chips and run: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great! GUESTS

We could have picked so many episodes for this one, and we've got some interesting choices including a couple of recent Trek outings. We also talk about the awkward conversations on Voyager once Janeway de-Tuvixed Tuvok and Neelix for some reason and we cancel JL Picard for himself being a Badmiral.

In this bonus episode of The New Abnormal, Mo Ryan, author of ‘Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood', talks to co-host Andy Levy about 'Lost's vindictive showrunners, and Hollywood's horrific treatment of writers and actors of color behind the scenes, pegged to a recent piece she wrote for Vanity Fair. Plus, Andy and co-host Danielle Moodie respond to a clip of Gov. Kristi Noem complaining that she can't shop at Target and another clip of Nikki Haley proving she's a racist bigot, again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson is back on Netflix for Season 3, and actor/comedian/media mogul Will Hines is also back to talk about the season's best sketches, unique sketch-show rhythms, and whether Robinson is still TV's best screamer. We went Around The Dial with Platonic, The Night Agent, and Primo, and then relaxed by the pool with Chris's Lodge 49 Canon submission. Kenan Thompson won, Andy Cohen lost, and we rolled the dice in TV real estate during Game Time. Hop off the zipline and listen to an all-new Extra Hot Great! GUESTS

Taekia and Leah take a moment to revel in how very close we are to a new episode of Supernatural (feels like we've lived a lifetime since the last one... weird) and quickly go over the descriptions that are available for the next couple of episodes. But the bulk of this episode is an interview Leah did with pop-culture critic and writer, Mo Ryan. Mo is a very cool person who has been writing about television, especially genre shows, forever and that includes Supernatural! She talks about what it was like writing about the show back when it was just a pilot, the different break-ups she's had with it over time, and what she hopes the legacy of the show will be.

Anika and Liz discuss the news out of this year's virtual San Diego Comic Con. And ... there's not much of it!  We understand the reasons, but we're still disappointed at the lack of release date for season 3 of Discovery (three days later: 15 October!) We're keen for Star Trek: Prodigy Maybe Star Trek: Lower Decks won't be for us ... and that's okay! The All The Star Trek Ladies panel, which has some tie-in novel news we found very exciting And, in the spirit of our traditional digressions, we also talk about Hanna (the movie and the Amazon Prime series); Star Wars: The Clone Wars; Season Finale: The Unexpected Rise and Fall of the WB and UPN by Susanne Daniels and Cynthia Littleton (a book whose title Liz has been misremembering since 2007); and Mo Ryan's Vanity Fair piece "'This Was Abuse': The Fall of a CBS Showrunner".  

Episode 79: Chauncey is joined by TV journalist Mo Ryan to discuss how Covid-19 has effected the pay of assistants, how the change in series length is bad for the industry, and more.

In this episode, we discuss systemic racism, how it crops up in MENA communities, and how we should address it. We discuss why and how Anti-Blackness is pervasive in MENA communities, how we can start important and difficult conversations with friends and family, and how we should show solidarity with the Black community in the fight for racial justice. We're joined by Nawal Rajeh, a community organizer and activist who co-founded and runs the non-profit By Peaceful Means, which works with youth in East Baltimore, MD around issues of peace and justice.    Support Black Lives Matter and affiliate causes Mo Ryan's article mentioned in the episode: Going Broke in Hollywood: TV's Overworked Assistants Reel From Pandemic Pay Cuts   We are a proud member of the Hard NOC podcast family.   Follow us on Twitter: @TheMiddleGeeks, @MaeAbdu, @swarzseawalker Subscribe to The Middle Geeks on Hard NOC Media

Mrs. Fletcher gives Kathryn Hahn a star turn as a divorced empty-nester trying to find herself (sexily!), and we're thrilled that star critic Maureen Ryan could return to discuss it with us -- whether we liked it, where it should have ended, and when we can expect this "limited series" to turn into another past-its-sell-by regular series. We went Around The Dial with BoJack Horseman, Lucifer, Netflix cancellation shenanigans, Teen Mom: Young & Pregnant, and Silicon Valley, and then Tara filed a motion to admit a second-season episode of The Good Fight to the Canon. Lizzo won (some more), the Game Of Thrones showrunners lost (for once), and there were no points for second place in a very challenging Game Time. Pack up that minivan: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great. GUESTS

In the grand finale of our exploration of Lost, co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof and executive producer Carlton Cuse sit down with co-hosts Mo Ryan and Tara Bennett to go back. As a couple of the first 'celebrity' showrunners, they candidly talk about the demands of writing a massive global hit, the reception of the last season, and how the show changed them as writers/showrunners of their subsequent series: The Leftovers, Watchmen, Colony and Jack Ryan.

Lost embraced and encouraged its rabid fan base with an onslaught of creative viral marketing, from ARG games like HansoExposed, and Lost University, to showrunner podcasts and copious exclusive DVD features. Overseas, Sky1 even had an after show, The Lost Initiative. Lost changed fan engagement forever so, co-hosts Tara Bennett and Mo Ryan welcome former ABC transmedia innovators, John Bernstein and David J. Daniels, and Editor of the Official Lost Magazine and co-host of The Lost Initiative, Paul Terry, to dig into it all.

Remember all the Lost wannabes, with big mythologies that were front-loaded and usually kinda lame? Co-hosts Mo Ryan and Tara Bennett welcome EW's Sarah Rodman as they parse out why those shows did NOT work and what shows are the true successors to Lost. They'll debate why broadcast networks never really cracked the code of re-creating Lost with a slightly different cast/premise, but what shows did learn the right lessons and followed in its (four-toed) footsteps.

Co-hosts Tara Bennett and Mo Ryan sit down with Finding Lost author, Nikki Stafford, for an insightful look at how Lost took fan engagement to a new level. They discuss how they each interacted with fandom back in the day, the history of Lost's official fandom board, The Fuselage, and how from there, the show's speculation/theory culture spun out to new heights. From blogger recaps to journalist mega theories, Lostpedia’s fan community, spoiler culture, and the evolution of toxic fan culture, this episode tackles it all.

In this episode, we're trying out a new format. We're calling it an acoustic panel. Doctoral candidate Megan Genovese sent questions to leading leading voices in the ongoing debates around diversity in the entertainment industries. Each respondent sent in a recording of their responses and we've edited them together to make up a virtual panel. The result is a lively, if simulated discussion, touching on the industry, its guilds and unions, and representation, on screen and off. We'll ask our expert panelists about the state of the American entertainment industry in light of the 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards and a year into the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements. The panelists include Marjorie David, television writer and producer and Vice President of the Writer's Guild of America West; Mo Ryan, a freelance journalist and television critic; and Joelle Monique, cultural critic and writer for Pajiba, Polygon, Mary Sue, and other outlets.

This week, Kathryn gives us her report on what went down at the ATX TV festival in Austin. Then, spurred by a recent Mo Ryan tweet thread, we talk about why TV chooses to kill so many of its all-too-rare women and PoC characters in the current “anyone can die” twist-and-shocker-heavy world of TV dramas.

Our esteemed colleague and Star Trek fantasy-draft star Mo Ryan returns to the podcast to talk about Liz Garbus's four-part New York Times documentary, The Fourth Estate, and the various frustrations we all had with both the documentary itself; its sometimes navel-gazey and tone-deaf subject; and all the things we wished the series had covered (or skipped)...though the intensity of our feelings probably means it's worth a watch. Also worth a watch in our Around The Dial section: Killjoys, Wynonna Earp, and Jane The Virgin, with another Showtime doc project, Love Means Zero, rating a skip from Buntsy. We mourned Tara's DVR, took Mo's Canon pitch for a season finale One Day At A Time, and declared a couple of vintage sitcoms Winners AND Losers before playing a super(hero)-charged Game Time from Dan Cassino. Let's hope we didn't bury the lede for an all-new Extra Hot Great! GUESTS

This week on “Lady Problems,” the MTV News podcast dedicated to pop culture’s treatment of women, Hazel Cills and Rachel co-host alongside Variety's Chief TV Critic Mo Ryan. First, Mo chats about her recent, thought-provoking piece on the progress and pitfalls of TV's depiction of rape, including her thoughts on Game of Thrones's deluge of rape scenes and Jessica Jones's perspective-shifting treatment of trauma. We also discuss the internet's irritating reaction to Teen Vogue's scathing political op-ed. Later, we answer a Lady Problem for our coworker Holly, who cannot get over this THR article in which seven white dudes discuss race and gender.

In lieu of the DVD Shelf this week, Noel and Kate wanted to talk about last week’s controversial episode of The 100, “Thirteen”, during which a beloved character was killed in a problematic—to put it mildly—manner. Joining us to break down this specific character death, how it relates to The 100 as a series, and how it compares to other memorable and traumatic TV character deaths is Maureen Ryan, Chief TV Critic for Variety and cohost of Talking TV with Ryan and Ryan. A big thank you to Revy Dutch (@ItsRevyDutch) for allowing us to use a clip from original piece "The Clexa Song". The song is available in whole as a charity single at Revy's Bandcamp page (https://revydutch.bandcamp.com/), with all proceeds going to Leskru’s fundraiser (https://www.classy.org/fundraise?fcid=625415) for The Trevor Project, a suicide hotline for gay and questioning youth.

Don’t miss SP’s theory on why Director Phil Coulson kept calling Daisy by her former name Skye and what the Monolith’s purpose might actually have been. Adam called it last week! Andrew is Lash! And May’s Back! And Mockingbird Is Back! In fact all of S.H.I.E.L.D. (minus Deathlok and Joey “Melty Guy”) is in play this week with fabulous use of their characters. This show has turned into one of the best on television and we are having a ton of fun covering it.

Then she is seen without it until she tends to her wound and around 16:38 .- 16:48 min mark from one second to the next it is around her neck again. Oct 31 Interesting Oct 31 googling it I found more continuity discrepancies. http://fitzsimmonsshield.tumblr.com/post/132125395709/lets-just-stop-for-a-moment … Oct 31 Interesting. Thank you. Oct 31 so either they really are so close to the deadline of the episodes and missed or cut a few scenes for such a big thing. Or it is intentionally and means something. Oct 31   Hard to tell Oct 31   yeah, only during the min mark I wrote you it really is suddenly and unexpected. Ann Foley from ther production wrote that they cut a scene where Will found it and gave it back to Jemma. THough that scene looked like it was a mid-sentence appearance, though it was a cut from A to B camera in the cave.
