Allie examines the growing divide on the Right over Guy Benson's announcement of his second child born via surrogacy, highlighting the tension between celebrating “conservative” gay voices and the reality that intentionally creating motherless or fatherless children violates God's design for the family. She breaks down research showing the disadvantages faced by children raised without both a mom and a dad, pushes back against the “family diversity myth,” and shares why normalizing surrogacy, IVF for same-sex couples, and same-sex marriage undermines conservatism and harms kids. Allie also addresses the dangerous cultural push to delay motherhood into the 40s popularized by Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman, exposing the fertility risks and heartbreak many women are now experiencing after putting career first.

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode. You can listen to the full conversation here: ‘Wait. Is this book about me?’ Usher's onstage stunt just backfired and the internet definitely noticed. Plus, two Manhattan lawyers were caught mid-pash by a TikToker who wouldn't stop filming: is it the new Coldplay kiss cam, or proof we've lost the right to be private in public? And, Rachel Cusk's new novel reads suspiciously like the life of her friend Natalie Portman — and neither of them is commenting. The theme remained the same: nobody asked for any of this.

Nicole Kidman has resurfaced in Portofino with a mystery man on her arm, and the grainy, old-school paparazzi shots have us fully spiralling. After that heartbreaking Keith Urban split, we're unpacking why the whole internet (us very much included) is quietly rooting for her romantic little escapade.Then Zendaya and Tom Holland have spent months running two wildly different press tours, and the contrast is telling. We're deep diving into how one half is a giddy 'wife guy' and the other is dodging every question with surgical precision, and what it reveals about keeping a marriage secret in plain sight.Plus, the pop culture collision we can't stop obsessing over: a beloved author, a famous former friend, and a new novel so thinly veiled that Hollywood and the New York literary scene are equally scandalised. Someone feels very betrayed — and the fallout mirrors the book itself.TAKE THE SPILL QUIZ HERERemember The Spill drops the tea twice a day in this feed so follow us for all the latest entertainment news… OR you can WATCH our show in full length video on the Apple Podcast app - make sure your phone is up to date and enjoy the watch!

On this week's A24 Vibe Discussion, the A24 Rocks crew goes back to the 2010 Darren Aronofsky film Black Swan. Natalie Portman won an Academy Award for her role as Nina in this psychological-horror movie about a ballerina who wins the prima ballerina role in the Tchaikovsky ballet Swan Lake. Nina is groomed and taken advantage of by her teacher Thomas (portrayed by Vincent Cassel), while she has hallucinations and anxieties, especially about a new ballerina named Lily (portrayed by Mila Kunis) who transferred from a different company. How has Black Swan aged 16 years later, and where does this land amongst the body horror films these film reviewers have reviewed?

The movie stars Jack Nicholson in two unrelated roles, plus Glenn Close, Michael J. Fox, Martin Short, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Pam Grier, Jim Brown, Lukas Haas, Natalie Portman, Silvia Sidney, and Lisa Marie.

He also digs into the feature everyone actually wants: a setting that lets you control how much AI content shows up in your feed.Then it's over to Meta, where the new Muse Image generator automatically opted every public account into having their photos used for AI creations, with the opt-out buried deep in the Sharing and Reuse settings.

Horror history gets weird, reflective, and dangerously snackable this week as This Week in Horror History travels through June 8–14 with mischievous monsters, haunted hotels, supernatural comedy, demonic hauntings, creepy mirrors, and one killer dessert that may be eating America alive.This episode digs into a packed week of classic horror movies, cult horror sequels, supernatural blockbusters, 1980s horror, haunted-house horror, and strange consumer-satire body horror, including the release of Gremlins, the same-day arrival of Ghostbusters, the wider theatrical expansion of The Shining, the hit sequel The Conjuring 2, and the mirror-filled nightmare of Poltergeist III.Inside this episode:• Gremlins turns one cute little mogwai into small-town monster chaos and helps push Hollywood toward the PG-13 rating.• Ghostbusters brings haunted libraries, demonic possession, rooftop apocalypse, and paranormal exterminators into one of the biggest supernatural comedy franchises ever.• The Shining expands wider in U.S. theaters, pulling more audiences into Stanley Kubrick's cold, hypnotic nightmare inside the Overlook Hotel.• The Conjuring 2 sends Ed and Lorraine Warren to the Enfield haunting and introduces one of modern horror's most memorable demonic figures.• The Deep-Cut Spotlight goes to Poltergeist III, the strange 1988 sequel that traps Carol Anne inside a haunted Chicago high-rise full of mirrors, elevators, cold hallways, and unfinished supernatural business.Plus: a horror birthday roll featuring Johnny Depp, Natalie Portman, Jurgen Prochnow, and Adrienne Barbeau, a creepy look at how horror sneaks into family homes, hotels, corporate towers, grocery aisles, and blockbuster comedy, and a weekly recommendation for Larry Cohen's weird, gross, and sharply satirical cult classic The Stuff.From mogwai mayhem and ghost exterminators to haunted reflections, demonic forces, the Overlook Hotel, and a mysterious dessert that might be consuming its customers from the inside out, this week proves horror can invade almost anything: your home, your hotel room, your movie theater, your refrigerator, and your appetite.

Well… this movie is something, isn't it? Leon: In this episode we break down Leon: The Professional. We talk about Gary Oldman's insane performance and how he created one of the best villians improvising the entire time. We tell the story of how the production smuggled illegal weapons into France and got hit with massive fines when authorities shut it down. We get into why Natalie Portman's parents ever allowed her to be in this movie. And we give our honest reaction to a cult classic that caught us WAY off guard in ways we were not ready for.Chapters:00:00 Announcements0:29 Not what we were expecting...12:43 How Jean Reno helped the problematic story14:49 The sketchy backstory of the director19:06 How Natalie Portman's parents kept her safe25:26 Why is this a cult classic28:07 Gary Oldman here to save the day36:12 Keanu Reeves and John Wick41:10 Jean Reno's method acting & the music44:14 The most accurate DEA raid in movie history45:09 Setting up major scenes49:35 Could've been Man on Fire53:02 Our final thoughts

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace took a lot of big swings, and many of them still hold up today. The visual effects and technical achievements remain impressive, especially considering when the film was made. George Lucas did a tremendous amount of world-building, expanding the Star Wars universe in ways that would influence countless stories that followed.John Williams delivered some of his best work in the franchise, creating memorable themes that have become iconic parts of Star Wars. The casting is a mixed bag. Liam Neeson is an excellent addition as Qui-Gon Jinn, bringing wisdom and gravitas to the role. Natalie Portman, however, feels surprisingly underwhelming given her talent.The podrace sequence remains a cinematic spectacle and is easily one of the film's highlights. Darth Maul and Emperor Palpatine (Sidious) are both compelling villains who leave a lasting impression despite limited screen time.That said, Lucas also introduced plenty of questionable ideas, and that's before even getting to Jar Jar Binks. Still, The Phantom Menace isn't nearly as bad as its reputation suggests. At its best, it's a fun adventure filled with imagination, memorable characters, and exciting action, even if it occasionally slows down along the way.Stick around after the conversation for a round of Star Wars 20 Questions!May the force be with you, nomads.

“HE WAS ALL OF US.“Hello everyone! We are back to talk about another film that may have aged a little better than we hoped, and we might all be worse off for that. We are talking about 2005's V For Vendetta, directed by James McTeague, starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving, written by one of the podcast's favorite sibling duos, the Wachowski sisters! On this episode we talk about just how relevant the film feels, especially while living in America. In the world of V, we are living in a fascist, police state, ravaged by a viral outbreak, with state sponsored media spreading fear and propaganda, an authoritarian government seizing personal freedoms while the oligarch class is protected and reaping all the benefits of their crimes against humanity. An all too familiar world for anyone not living under a rock. Even though the original Alan Moore graphic novel was written in response to Margaret Thatcher's Britain in the 1980's, and the Wachowski's screenplay was written perhaps in response to the 2nd (or rather, 3rd) Bush Administration, perhaps the heart of the story is what it takes to survive these oppressive regimes.Speaking of Alan Moore, we talk about why the acclaimed graphic novel writer distanced himself from the film. When the frequent Wachowski collaborator and producer Alan Silver claimed Moore gave the film his blessing, which he did not, Moore asked for his name to be removed from the credits. Even still, Moore rejected the script itself and when we examine the differences between the film and source material we can see why. Both the graphic novel and film can be seen as separate, complimentary stories, but are so vastly difference that we can't really say it's a “good adaptation,” despite being fond of both. Listen to the full episode for more on this!We also talk about what the Wachowskis bring to the film. It wasn't directed by them, but by their assistant director from the Matrix Trilogy, James McTeague. Still, we can still feel their influence in what segments get special attention, the montages, and how we experience time and how everything is connected.Putting this film together, with who was involved, who was cast, when it was filmed, where it was filmed.. there are so many connections and references that we don't even get into all of it. Despite being a little sillier in some places, more digestible than something as heavy and poignant as Andor (which Austin HIGHLY recommends,) the film delivers some moments that may never be forgot.You can listen to this episode ANYWHERE you get your podcasts!

Michael Mann's Heat  On this week's episode we celebrate our 600th episode with a look at one of the most important films of our generation, Michael Mann's Crime-Thriller, Heist Film, Masterpiece . . . the coming together of two of the greatest and most important actors of their generation, Al Pacino as Lieutenant Vincent Hannah and Robert DeNiro as Professional Criminal Neil McCauley in 1995s Heat. This week we talk the film, but as always the film is simply a jumping off point for a greater undestanding, in the case an understanding of 1990s culture, the crime genre, brilliant acting and direction, and our own personal growth and attachment to the ideas, warnings, and lessons of this exceptional film. A modern day criminal tragedy which re-invents a story that has been told thousands of times and somehow manages to make all things fresh and unique. With a brilliant cast including the aforementioned DeNiro and Pacino, but also Wes Studi, Ted Levine, Mykelti Williamson, Diane Verona, Tom Sizemore, Danny Trejo, Amy Brenneman, William Fichtner, Ashley Judd, Hank Azaria, Natalie Portman, Henry Rollins, John Voight, Kevin Gage, Bud Cort, a heartbreaking Dennis Haysbert, and a brilliant Val Kilmer, Michael Mann's Heat is a beautifully rendered, heartbreaking crime tragedy that feels real, lived in, and timeless.  And yeah . . . we spend a good amount of time on that scene - one of the greatest ever filmed. Take a listen and let us know what you think. As always we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many, Many Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

Rachel's youngest crashes the pod on Bring Your Child to Work Day, and the nine-year-old wastes zero time fact-checking adults, interrupting tangents, and quietly stealing the episode. The trio covers Justin Bieber's Coachella laptop loophole, why he couldn't legally sing his own songs live, and whether Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter's collab was genius or just a little too forced.From there it's a full sweep of the cultural moment: Miss Thailand breaking from pageant choreography to pop and lock in a bikini, the fake-or-real beef between Alex Earle and Alex Cooper, Dr. Miami's former social media manager finally spilling why she left, and the red light camera ticket Dale got for a license plate that hadn't been on his car in six months. Dale also finally caved and got Hulu just to watch Sky King, while Rachel cannot quit Love After Lockup, and Summer House gets a full breakdown that may have just recruited a new viewer.The episode closes with a confession that has apparently been weighing on someone for a while — they genuinely cannot tell Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman apart — and Sienna's shoutout list, which included approximately every child at her dance studio.Episode Sponsor:Presented by 1-800 Call Lee — South Florida's trusted personal injury team.

Shauna and Olivia want to share their favorite movies with each other, and you! Up first is Shauna's favorite movie, V for Vendetta. Released in 2006, V for Vendetta was based on the DC/Vertigo comic series by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Directed by James McTeigue and written by the Wachowskis, V for Vendetta stars Hugo Weaving as the masked V, Natalie Portman as Evey, and a veritable who's who of British actors (mostly male) including John Hurt, Rupert Graves, Stephen Fry and Stephen Rea. The Junkies discuss the plot (spoilers abound, so be sure you've seen it before listening), the characters, the romance, the themes, and the stunning parallels between a movie released 20 years ago and today's political landscape. We have affordable and rewarding Patreon tiers!
