Podcast appearances and mentions of Olivia Wilde

This week: nostalgia for Moviefone and Rob Brezny's Dial-a-Horoscope, the Jungian idea that your unconscious is trying to help you, and the one Timothy Leary quote Ben has actually carried with him his whole life — "the goal of life is calm and compassionate gameplay."We saw Greg Araki's new film with Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman (co-written by Slutever's Karly Scortino) — a genuinely sexy movie that also makes you think, which is rarer than it should be. Plus: bumping into Peking Duk outside the Ritz in Randwick on the night their album went to #1 in Australia, ARIA plaques and all. (Randwick: possibly the least rock and roll suburb in Sydney.)A full Australian Traitors deep dive — how secretly Machiavellian Australians are, Dicko's voting block strategy, and the question the show keeps raising: is emotional gameplay still manipulation if the emotion is real?We saw the Bondi Boys at Hollywood Hotel (neon mic stand, expanded set, Gen X energy), Ben smells beer and thinks about his entire touring life, Ione smells Carmex and thinks about Paris 1987, and we're making a fanzine with Kate Dunn (@moonfurhat on Instagram) as merch for the Australia and Japan tour.We end with a challenge: Ione proves she's a better liar than Ben by closing the podcast with a lie. We'll let you decide if she pulled it off.

DJ should be on a cruise. Instead, he's doing taxes because his travel companion waited until the last possible second to remember one tiny problem: there's a warrant out for his arrest. Then DJ and Kelly recap a VERY busy week at the movies, including One Night Only, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Super Troopers 3 and I Want Your Sex. Which movies worked, which didn't, and why exactly is One Night Only essentially “The Purge, but for sex”? Elsewhere: why Dungeons & Dragons creates instant secondhand embarrassment, whether Gen Z's declining interest in drinking and dating might have something to do with how insanely expensive it is to leave the house, DJ's unwavering devotion to Irish Spring 5-in-1, rising electricity bills, political hypocrisy, the WNBA protest stunt, and the Lindsay Clancy trial. Plus, on Patreon: DJ experiments with Jell-O that expired in 2022, The Last House gets absolutely demolished, and we establish the official Locked & Probably Loaded rule: listen to an entire episode before deciding whether you hate us.

Welcome to Hot Olivia Summer! (Judges would have also accepted "Wilde Hot American Summer.")

LexG with some early August reviews as the summer winds down. Main event here is the blockbuster Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with bonus superhero movie riffing. Then some recent odds and ends, including franchise entry Evil Dead Burn, Olivia Wilde in the wacky indie I Want Your Sex, and some belated thoughts on the latest Jackass.

Another fun-filled episode of Nerds Talking is here! Lafayette and Carlos are back with another jam-packed conversation covering the latest headlines in movies, television, sports, streaming, and all things nerdy.First up, the guys dive into the ever-changing world of DC Studios and James Gunn's new DC Universe. With several projects from the original DCU Chapter One slate being reworked, delayed, or pushed to the back burner, what does it mean for the future of the franchise? We discuss the latest developments surrounding projects including Waller and Paradise Lost, both of which have recently been deprioritized at HBO, while The Authority has also been scrapped and Booster Gold has undergone a major creative shake-up. Then it's time for your weekly entertainment news, where Lafayette and Carlos break down the biggest stories making waves across Hollywood and pop culture—with plenty of opinions, jokes, and the kind of nerdy commentary you've come to expect from Nerds Talking.The WNBA Has Entered the Chat!The WNBA is suddenly dealing with a very unusual controversy surrounding the definition of who is eligible to play in the league. Former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White have both announced plans to declare for the 2027 WNBA Draft, saying they identify as women and arguing that the league's current eligibility language leaves the door open for their participation. The WNBA has since pushed back, saying there are currently no immediate eligibility issues and condemning what it describes as bad-faith efforts to exploit the issue.Lafayette and Carlos discuss the controversy, the WNBA's current rules, and the questions this bizarre situation raises about professional sports, eligibility, identity, and where the league goes from here.Movie Reviews!The guys also sit down to review The Invite, the new comedy-drama starring Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton. When Joe and Angela invite their mysterious upstairs neighbors over for dinner, what begins as an attempt to reconnect their marriage quickly turns into a night full of unexpected twists, awkward moments, and escalating tension.And then it's time to head to Netflix for a little sci-fi nightmare fuel with The Last House. Directed by Louis Leterrier, the film stars Greta Lee, Wagner Moura, Riley Chung, Emma Ho, Noah Alexander Sosnowski, and Gabriel Barbosa. The story follows a family mysteriously sealed inside their own home, forced to survive with dwindling resources while trying to understand the ominous force keeping them trapped. Did The Invite deliver the laughs and drama? Does The Last House live up to its intriguing sci-fi premise? Lafayette and Carlos give you their completely honest—and occasionally questionable—opinions!So grab your headphones, settle in, and join the Nerds Talking crew for another episode filled with laughs, memories, movie reviews, entertainment news, sports controversy, and plenty of nerdy insights.Tune in, turn it up, and don't miss it!#NerdsTalking #NerdsTalkingPodcast #Podcast #PopCulture #EntertainmentNews #MovieReviews #Netflix #TheLastHouse #TheInvite #JamesGunn #DCStudios #DCU #DCUniverse #SuperheroNews #WNBA #WNBA2027 #NBA #EnesKanterFreedom #RoyceWhite #SciFi #SciFiMovies #MoviePodcast #TVNews #GeekCulture #NerdCulture #GeekPodcast #Streaming #Hollywood #Movies #EntertainmentPodcast

Seven years ago, New Yorker staff writer Jia Tolentino coined the term “Instagram Face.” Now we talk about how current beauty standards are changing our relationship to reality. “It seems more explicitly anti-human right now than ever before,” she tells Tonya Mosley. “There seems to be something that's dove-tailing with the age of AI.” Also, we hear from Lee Sung Jin, creator of the Netflix series Beef. The second season is a story about class and blackmail at an exclusive country club. He talks about how he has pulled ideas from his own life, and his experience working in writers rooms as the only Asian person. Film critic Justin Chang reviews the new erotic comedy I Want Your Sex, starring Olivia Wilde.Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our YouTube channel Check out the Fresh Air ArchivesSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Its August and it's usually the dumping ground for Hollywood. It's often where pictures and shows they don't know what to do with end uo in theaters and on TV. But every once in a 2whil something interesting shows up out of the blue. That's where we come in. First Bill Bregoli tells us about "One Night Only" which takes place on the one night of the year where people who aren't married can legally have sex - and it's a comedy! Neil Rosen fills us in on a marital drama called "The Invite" starring Seth Rogen,. Olivia Wilde, Penelope Cruz and Ed Norton. We've also got the latest horror movie from Eli Roth called "Ice Cream Man" and Bill McCuddy explains how he got to see the classic action movie "Bullitt" on a big screen. For you streming folks we look at "Lucky" starring Anya Taylor-Joy and ""Furious" starring Emmy Rossum. And on the (somewhat) lighter side there'sMary Beth Brone''s Netlfix comedy speical "Galaxy Brain." It may be strange out there but you're safe with us.

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we turn to the state of journalism—at a moment of deep disruption, consolidation, and consequence.  Across the country and around the world, newsrooms are shrinking, ownership is concentrating, and the very idea of a free and independent press is under pressure. But journalists aren't simply standing by—they're pushing back, reimagining their work, and, in many cases, taking matters into their own hands. This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate Description: Mainstream media has a lot to account for in 2024, but go back 90 years, and prestigious publications have often failed to see when things were so clearly wrong. In 1930s Germany, many journalists downplayed Adolf Hitler's ascension to power, with the New York Times writing “There is no warrant for immediate alarm…The more violent parts of his alleged program he has himself in recent months been softening down or abandoning.” But one young British journalist who, seeing what was happening, quit his job with The London Times and founded The Week, a newsletter that became famous for its opposition to fascism and the Western powers that were enabling it. His name was Claud Cockburn, and he's the subject of a newly-released biography by his son, Patrick Cockburn, “Believe Nothing Until It Is Officially Denied: Claud Cockburn and the Invention of Guerrilla Journalism,” out now via Verso Books. Patrick is an award-winning journalist himself, with a long expertise in the Middle East. And Patrick is Laura Flanders' uncle; Claud is her grandfather. How did mainstream media miss what Claud knew about the rise of Nazis, and how did his guerilla journalism make an impact? And why is Claud's story so relevant now? All that, plus a commentary from Laura.

Sex is back, baby! In the fun new movie I Want Your Sex, Olivia Wilde plays Erika, a mixed-media artist who enters into a very consensual, very kinky, but very unprofessional sub/dom relationship with her assistant Elliot (Cooper Hoffman). Elliot's having the time of his life, but Erika is a lot, and soon his life starts to fall apart. I Want Your Sex is directed by Gregg Araki and the film doubles down on his brand of fun, in-your-face sexuality he's known for.If you want more great films about sex, check out:‘The Invite' is a marriage comedy with sex and heartIn ‘Pillion,' submission is the missionWhat makes a good sex scene?Connect with Pop Culture Happy Hour:Letterboxd / FacebookOur weekly newsletterSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

Mike takes a look at the 12 most profitable movies of all times. These extraordinary films prove you don't need a hundred-million-dollar budget to break the box office. He shares how all 12 movies cost about $10 million to make... and they pulled in nearly $1.9 billion from My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Obsession to Rocky and Paranormal Activity. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about The Invite with Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton. It’s about a dinner party that spirals into unexpected places when a couple invite their enigmatic neighbors over. Have they reignited the spark in their troubled marriage or lit the match that burns it all down? He talks about the anxiety the movie caused him, the fantastic score and why it’s one of the most absurdly beautiful movies he’s seen this year. In the Trailer Park, Mike blind reacts to Avengers: Doomsday. Which is about heroes from three different worlds must unite when they're thrust together to confront a catastrophic danger that could destroy everything they know. He shares what excites and worries him the most about this trailer New Episodes Every Monday!

We already reviewed the big movie of the week, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," earlier this week. But other movies exist in the world, so you get Arthouse Tuesday on a Friday. Here's what we discussed on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: I WANT YOUR SEX. Between this and the Wham! in China documentary, it's an accidental George Michael theme week, but we're not complaining. Olivia Wilde stars as a caustic and quick-witted dom to Cooper Hoffman's eager and besotted sub. The latest from veteran queer filmmaker Gregg Araki takes place in the heightened world of LA's contemporary art scene. This movie is a hoot. In theaters. SHEEP IN THE BOX. A rare miss from Japanese writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda. His film explores some familiar themes about creating a family in unexpected ways, but does so in languid, superficial fashion. A couple in the near future brings a synthetic boy into their home to replace the 7-year-old son they lost. Sounds like a moving premise, but this never grabbed us. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Another extra-long segment because there was so much to discuss, including the huge Thursday box office for "Spider-Man," news out of Comic-Con, Disney canceling "Wonder Man," and the tragic death os Glen Hansard. Join us on Fridays at Noon Pacific. Thanks for starting your weekend with us! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

Never too late to the discourse, the latest episode of the BFG podcast covers two of the most talked-about movies of the summer. Stephen Garrett sails into the picture to discuss Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Both host Neal Pollack and Stephen admire some of the set pieces and a couple of key performances, though Neal found the picture too self-serious, as all of Nolan's movies are. They disagree about Anne Hathaway, the true face that launched a thousand ships. At last, some Odyssey discourse! But ours is the best.Then Neal invites BFG contributor Laura Pruden into his virtual apartment for a delightful chat about The Invite, director Olivia Wilde's four-character chamber comedy-drama about modern marriage and sexual mores. It's a movie for adults, by adults, and it's proof of concept that Wilde is a director worth watching, and that Rashida Jones is a screenwriter well worth watching. Neal and Laura disagree about Seth Rogen. She found him delightful, he found him distracting. Neal wonders when the next dinner party invite is coming his way.Our new theme song and incidental music are by composer Matthew Sheffer and licensed for use by Sea of Reeds Media.

After a hiatus of over a decade, legendary indie filmmaker Gregg Araki is back in movie theaters with his latest piece of visual provocation, “I Want Your Sex.” The film made a splash at this year's Sundance Film Festival, thanks to Araki's trademark eye-tickling visuals and equally trademark envelope-pushing substance. Here, Gen Z is the target of Araki's aim, with his film (and specifically Olivia Wilde's sensational character, the avant-garde sex-obsessed artist Erika Tracy) skewering the prudishness of the latest batch of young adults. But as always with Araki, answers don't come easy and messages aren't neat and tidy. One of the masters of queer indie filmmaking, Araki was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his latest film, which you can listen to below. In our conversation, he touched on what he thinks of Gen Z's tendency toward sex negativity, how a film centering around a male-female pairing can still touch on queer themes, and what it was like to debut his film at the final Sundance Film Festival hosted in Park City, Utah. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters on July 31st from Magnolia Pictures.

The new film, ‘The Invite,' directed by Olivia Wilde, offers a portrait of a marriage in middle age, told over the course of one dinner party that spirals out of control. Screenwriters Rashida Jones and Will McCormack have been mining this territory together for decades, while finding the funny inside the painful. “We are never above a laugh,” Jones says. “There's nothing that's grave enough for us not to laugh about, because that's how we release. That's how we process our pain.” They spoke with Tonya Mosley about their creative process and their other films, ‘Celeste & Jesse Forever,' ‘Quincy,' and ‘If Anything Happens I Love You.' Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our YouTube channel Check out the Fresh Air ArchivesSee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Edward Norton (The Invite, Fight Club, and American History X) is an Academy Award-nominated actor, filmmaker, and environmental entrepreneur. Edward joins the Armchair Expert to discuss growing up with a visionary city-planner grandfather, methodically living on $11,000 a year as a young actor in New York, and building a port-emissions company that sucks poison from cargo ships. Edward and Dax talk about the actor's narcissistic brain, why he doesn't treat film like a volume game, and the exhilarating trust Olivia Wilde created while directing The Invite. Edward explains the difference between iconic actors and shape-shifting actors, why uncertainty can be the gateway to deeper work, and how the things we absorb from the world become what we eventually give back through art.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
