This is one of those “who knows what's going to happen” years at the Oscars. And maybe the biggest question of the night is which movie will dominate: “Sinners,” with its record 16 nominations, or “One Battle After Another,” which is right behind with 13. One is a vampire movie set in the Jim Crow South, featuring not one but two Michael B. Jordans. The other imagines a leftist revolutionary outfit led by Black women — Teyana Taylor! — facing off against a racist, sexist, authoritarian government. No matter what, we're talking about a pretty exciting night — including for many Black people. But you know how it is with race and the Oscars. It is never that simple. Because there are some people who are not rooting for Paul Thomas Anderson's version of Black feminist-driven revolution. And a lot of those people are Black feminists themselves. Including Wesley's dear friend, the scholar Daphne A. Brooks. After leaving the theater, she sent him a text calling it “a Black feminist 911 emergency.” So before the biggest awards of the industry are handed out, Wesley invites Daphne on the show to ask her, “What's the 911 situation here?” Subscribe today at nytimes.com/podcasts or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Closing the episode in signature glam-meets-heart fashion, Pol' Atteu and Patrik Simpson invite listeners deeper into the mystical world that fans can't stop talking about: Pol's iconic Armenian coffee readings. What began as an on-air curiosity has evolved into a full spiritual experience, and the hosts explain that this is not fortune-telling — it's emotional revelation. As Pol' makes clear, the magic comes from the person drinking the coffee: their thoughts, feelings, and intentions leave a story behind in the grounds. His role is simply to interpret what the heart has already written. Patrik reflects on witnessing these readings firsthand, describing jaw-dropping moments when hidden truths surfaced and powerful emotions were unlocked. The duo emphasizes that each session is deeply personal, intimate, and often transformative — not about predicting destiny but about illuminating clarity, direction, and self-understanding. For longtime listeners who have heard countless celebrity guests react to Pol's uncanny accuracy, this segment feels like an open invitation to experience the phenomenon themselves. The hosts also reconnect with fans after a whirlwind few weeks preparing for the Oscars and LA Fashion Week, promising that the podcast's signature mix of glamour, humor, and heartfelt revelations will return with fresh episodes. They tease an exciting lineup of upcoming guests — including Tanya Banks, Taja Abifo, R3 DaD, and more — signaling that the show's celebrity conversations and unpredictable moments are about to ramp up again. As the episode wraps, listeners are reminded of the larger Pol' & Patrik universe: their television series Gown and Out in Beverly Hills on Prime Video, their couture world, and their beloved mascot SnowWhite90210, who shares hosting duties in her own scene-stealing way. The production team behind the podcast is acknowledged, underscoring the professional polish behind the playful chaos fans love. The closing message blends humor, warmth, and savvy showmanship: follow their social platforms, book a personal coffee reading, shop the brand's signature offerings, and most importantly, subscribe so you never miss the next dramatic revelation, celebrity story, or laugh-out-loud moment. It's a perfect send-off — equal parts spiritual tease, Hollywood hustle, and affectionate connection with their audience.

Well, he finally did it folks! Some are calling it a "short term excursion", but it's already been almost 2 weeks at a cost of $1-2B per day to the American taxpayer - with no end in sight - so we're calling it a war. We debate whether this is a signal that Trump and MAGA have fully shed their GOP exoskeleton as a distinctly fascistic movement, and whether calling that out is even helpful in making the case for a left alternative to the status quo. We also discuss Ben Shapiro's eyebrows, Marco Rubio's ears, ill-fitting, cheap shoes on cabinet members, Bam Adebayo's insane night, the U.S. team's near-collapse in the WBC, and Timmy Chalamet in hot water on the internet ahead of the Oscars.

The stakes feel especially high for this year's top Oscars prize.It feels like every few years there are two films that really set the tone for where American culture is headed. In 2017: it was Moonlight versus La La Land. In 2019: it was Green Book versus BlackKKlansman. And now, in 2026: it's Sinners versus One Battle After Another. And there's one question that host Brittany Luse has at the top of her mind: How do these films capture what it means to live in this moment? And how does the conversation surrounding them become so contentious? Host Brittany Luse is joined by Nadira Goffe, staff writer of culture at Slate, and Robert Daniels, associate editor at rogerebert.com to unpack the discourse taking the internet by storm.Interested in other episodes about cultural critique?

Jessie Buckley is nominated for best actress at the Oscars this weekend, for her performance in the movie “Hamnet.” She plays the wife of William Shakespeare — and a grieving mother — as the couple confronts the loss of their only son. The role has already won her a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and an Actor Award. In a conversation on “The Sunday Daily,” The Times's chief movie critic, Manohla Dargis, said it would be a major upset if Buckley did not also win an Academy Award. Ahead of the ceremony, we're bringing you our conversation with Buckley from last year. “When I was filming ‘Hamnet,' I deeply wanted to become a mother,” Buckley said. “And it was such a gift to move through this woman and her motherhood and her love and her loss before I became a mother myself.” On this episode of “Modern Love,” Buckley describes how she was able to access the vulnerability she portrayed onscreen. And she talks about how her life has changed since having her own child. Plus, she reads the Modern Love essay “The Wrong Kind of Inheritance” by Victoria Dougherty.

On this week's monster mash, Steve, Dana, and Julia gather around the proverbial reanimation laboratory to take on the nutty, goth, and unbridled The Bride! Maggie Gyllenhaal's feminist—or not, it's up for debate—retelling of Frankenstein features a truly committed performance from Jessie Buckley. Do the disjointed pieces add to a coherent whole? They discuss.Next, they take a look at Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, the Morgan Neville documentary about the moment when the legendary songwriter and rockstar stopped being a Beatle and had to become something else.Finally, they wade through the morass of titles like How to Tame a Silver Fox and Ms. CEO's Baby Daddy Is the Merchant of Death to explore the exceedingly cheap and increasingly popular world of vertical micro-dramas via the app ReelShort. In a bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, they tackle the question of when, in fact, one becomes an adult—inspired by a recent piece in The New Yorker by Shayla Love.

Before the bombs and the missiles started falling on Iran, Trump sent Jared and Witkoff to try to cut a deal with Tehran. But his two favorite emissaries with no expertise in world affairs fundamentally misunderstood the Iranian mindset, and Trump grew impatient. Now, while Israel is likely trying to create a failed state in Iran, the U.S. seems to be looking for the quickest exit. Plus, the dystopia of “Robocop” may have arrived in real life, the Iran War's potential impact on the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal, predictions for Sunday's Oscars ceremony, and Timothée Chalamet can do no wrong.

When the Oscar nominations were announced this year, Ryan Coogler's “Sinners” set a record. It received sixteen nominations, the most for any film ever. The fact that it's, in part, a vampire movie, made by a director who's not yet forty, makes that feat all the more remarkable. Coogler—who previously directed “Creed” and “Black Panther”—sat down with the New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb to discuss the recurrent themes of history, faith, and race in his work, and how he refracted them through the lens of horror in “Sinners.” This segment originally aired on April 11, 2025. Further reading: “Ryan Coogler's Road to ‘Sinners,' ” by Jelani Cobb New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.
