The Adam Sandler Sports deep dive continues (for some reason) with his remake of the football classic: The Longest Yard! Disgraced pro football quarterback Paul Crewe (Adam Sandler) lands in jail, where manipulative Warden Hazen (James Cromwell) recruits him to advise the institution's team. This turns into a lead role quarterbacking a crew of inmates in a game against a team of prison guards. Aided by incarcerated ex-NFL coach Nate Scarborough (Burt Reynolds), Crewe and his team must overcome not only the bloodthirstiness of the opposition, but also the corrupt officials trying to fix the game against them. Release date: May 27, 2005 (USA) Director: Peter Segal Budget: 90 million USD, 82 million USD Adapted from: The Longest Yard MPAA rating: PG-13 Distributed by: Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Releasing International

Xbox just keeps taking hits, and there is no way to spin it. Sony takes one on the chin too, as their Live Service goals aren't playing out the way they hoped.

The Filmlosophers are back to deliver a DOUBLE DOSE of episodes this week, and they're bringing some much-needed laughter with their discussion of the reboot of a comedy classic: "The Naked Gun" (2025)! They'll dive into how this new version stands up to the original, the comedic timing, and whether it successfully recaptures the spirit of its predecessors. But the humor takes a turn for the serious as Host Eddie shares a harrowing story from his own screening of the film. This leads to a heated debate with the crew about whether there should be an age limit for movie patrons, and if theater etiquette has been completely forgotten in this day and age. Join The Filmlosophers for an episode that's part comedy gold and part serious discussion about the state of moviegoing today!

Ethan, Jamie, and Nina are back—and this time, they've got company! Special guest Rick Paulton from The Whole Damn Enchilada Podcast joins the crew to dissect the oozy, outrageous cult classic Basket Case (1982). Expect laughs, gore talk, and way too much discussion about what's in that wicker basket. Spoiler Alert: It's gross. And awesome.

This conversation shook me. Cheryl Hunter is a cowgirl from Colorado who was kidnapped as a teenager. Instead of letting that trauma define her she turned it into her mission. Now she's a four-time TED talk speaker who helps mission-driven experts gain audiences of millions through major media. But her journey to get there is what will blow your mind. After being abducted Cheryl spent over a decade hiding what happened to her. Pretending it never occurred. When she told her mom she was depressed her mom said go help someone who has it worse than you. So Cheryl started volunteering at elder care facilities. She met Holocaust survivors. War veterans. People who had been through unthinkable adversity. Some were hardened for life. Others lived happy productive lives. She started breaking down what worked and what didn't. Created a framework for overcoming adversity. The first time she shared her story publicly was terrifying. She worried people would see how dirty and ruined she was. Worried they'd ask why she didn't stay to get her attackers put in jail instead of running for her life. But she realized she could be the voice for people who felt too weak too ruined to stand up for themselves. She could show what's possible on the other side of trauma. This episode is about turning your biggest pain into your greatest purpose. About understanding that if you've got something on your heart that you want to share you have within you what it takes to fulfill it. And about recognizing that the moment we say yes to what's on our path it reveals its gifts to us.We Meet:Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Cheryl: https://cherylhunter.com/ Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Cheryl: Cheryl Hunter is a bestselling author, speaker, and media personality who shares her message worldwide on outlets including People Magazine, Goalcast, Dr.Phil, NBCNews, Dr. Oz, CNN, Fox, PBS, and more. Cheryl didn't set out with a message to share, but while traveling abroad as a teenager, she was kidnapped and held captive by criminals who eventually left her for dead. Cheryl survived this life-changing event and used her experience to help people rise after adversity. Today, in addition to writing and producing for HBO, CBS, Paramount Pictures, and NBC, Cheryl helps established experts become world-renowned by leveraging the power of major media.

Our next film should, by all rights, be one of the greatest all-time Westerns even made. Instead, it's a mealy-mouthed, boring, limp noodle of a movie that's stuck trying too hard to be a Big Deal instead of being the allegory for McCarthyism it was written to be. Fred Zinneman has shots for days, but he can't get convincing performances from his actors, and nobody in the cast can convincingly portray the real tension of this movie. Sure, it makes sense why this resonates today. But overall it's a real slog to sit through. Watch the clocks as we watch 1952's High Noon on Have a Good Movie!

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of racism against Natives, bullying, animal cruelty. Grab your six shooters and your saddles, we're kicking off our first-ever Westerns series! There's a lot in the genre for us to catch up on, and we start this week with a seminal film, one whose importance is unfortunately the only thing it's really got going for it. John Ford practically created the Western as we know making this movie but the dialogue and the characters are so rigid that it's somehow boring for a 90-minute movie. Still, if you've ever rolled your eyes at John Wayne and wondered "how the hell did he get to be a movie star", look no further than his performance here, smoldering and intense while staying relatable. The cast is pretty great, and the stunts are on par with anything that can be done with wires today. Still, this one is more "important" than a fun hang, so proceed with caution.

The Late Show on CBS will come to an end next year after a 33-year run. The news came just days after the TV host referred to a $16m settlement between Trump and CBS parent company Paramount over an interview on their network as a “big fat bribe”. CBS has described the show's cancellation as “purely financial”. But, as the Guardian's Washington DC bureau chief David Smith tells Reged Ahmad, others are not so sure.

We present our comparison of Hercules: The Thracian Wars to Hercules the 2014 movie starring Dwayne Johnson! Hercules is a Radical Comics character who has appeared in two limited series, The Thracian Wars and The Knives of Kush, both written by Steve Moore with Cris Bolsin as the artist. The Jim Steranko "Hercules" from the cover of the first issue is also featured in solid bronze as the first in the Radical Toyz product line. Radical Toyz commissioned sculptor Chris Ingram to bring to life the art that represents Radical's flagship title.The story takes place in barbarian Thrace, in Northern Greece. Hercules and his companions are hired by the Thracian king, Cotys, to train the Thracian army into one that excels in ruthlessness.Hercules is a 2014 American action-adventure fantasy film directed by Brett Ratner from a screenplay by Ryan J. Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos. It stars Dwayne Johnson as Hercules, a self-proclaimed demigod who is hired to lead the armies of Thrace into battle against a warlord. Ian McShane, Rebecca Ferguson, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Peter Mullan, and John Hurt also star. The film is based on Steve Moore's graphic novel Hercules, specifically the limited series The Thracian Wars.Hercules was released by Paramount Pictures on July 25, 2014.It was one of two Hollywood-studio Hercules films released in 2014, the other being Lionsgate's The Legend of Hercules.

Barry Diller has transformed the way people around the world enjoy entertainment, helping to put some of the biggest titles in film and television on our screens. He's also enjoyed success beyond Hollywood, becoming CEO of Paramount Pictures at just 32, before launching the Fox TV network. He made home shopping the habit of millions, and later founded the conglomerate IAC which has owned dozens of brands. Until now, the story of Barry Diller himself has never really been told - but his new memoir "Who Knew" candidly answers questions that have persisted for decades. He speaks to Christiane about this experience of looking back and opening up.   Also on today's show: author Tim Weiner ("The Mission: The CIA in the 21st Century"); NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya  Learn more about your ad choices.

In Who Knew, Barry Diller tells his story for the first time (and what a story it is). In a career spanning six extraordinary decades, Barry Diller has become one of the most successful executives in media history. Diller's ascent was meteoric, launching ABC-TV's Movie of the Week at age twenty-seven, becoming CEO of Paramount Pictures at age thirty-two, and launching the Fox TV network at age forty-four. Along the way, Diller oversaw the production of classic films such as Saturday Night Fever, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Home Alone and hit TV shows such as The Simpsons, Married…with Children, and Cops. Along the way Diller tangoed with movie stars and moguls, using his unique management acumen to set the table on his terms. He went on to develop some of the most successful online businesses in the world, including Expedia, Match, and Angi. Indeed, Diller's media savvy changed the course of American culture. While successful professionally, Diller struggled personally. In Who Knew, he reveals the extent of those struggles with astonishing candor before finding his “unique and complete love,” Diane Von Furstenberg. Intimate, candid, and moving, Who Knew is a memoir filled with heart, imbued with humility, and infused with wisdom.

“Live From New York, it's Saturday Night!” That single sentence has become a catchphrase for devotees of comedy and popular culture over the past 50 years—generations of fans who willingly turn their attentions from the height of weekend revelry to the televised antics of Saturday Night Live. Week in, week out for more than two decades, a single photographer has conjured visual magic behind the scenes, creating inventive and irreverent portraits that air for three seconds each as so-called “bumpers” that transition to and from the show's commercial breaks. In this week's podcast, SNL's photographer in residence Mary Ellen Matthews regales us with details about what's undoubtedly the world's best photo gig—a position she's held for 25 years. From the fateful phone call she got in 1993, inviting her to assist the show's founding photographer, Mary Ellen offers candid insights into her journey from mentee to team leader. Along the way, we pull back the curtain on the creation of some iconic images and learn what it takes to be “in the driver's seat [with] a whole busload of very important people to take care of.” “My job is to make this easy and fast,” she notes. “And I don't want anyone to be overthinking anything because they've got enough to worry about with all the sketches and all the pre-tapes and their responsibilities to the rest of the show, which is the most important thing.” Guest: Mary Ellen Matthews   Episode Timeline: 2:58: Living the dream as SNL's resident photographer while being creative under stressful deadline pressure. 4:50: Mary Ellen's early immersion in photography, at the side of her hobbyist father. 7:02: Arriving in NYC, early work for a record label, and the call to assist SNL's founding photographer in residence, Edie Baskin. 12:02: SNL's transition from film to digital, plus the cameras Mary Ellen shoots with today. 15:46: Conceptualizing the weekly portrait shoots and collaborating with subjects. 20:16: Behind-the-scenes of a dicey photo shoot, plus SNL's weekly production timeline. 27:35: Episode Break 28:22: Beyond portraits, the images Mary Ellen shoots as props for SNL sketches—sometimes with a 4x5. 33:20: The scheduling of SNL portrait shoots and getting portrait subjects to have fun. 36:44: Testing for shoots, the atmosphere on-set, and flying by the seat of your pants. 40:15: Communicating with a celebrity's team to get everyone on the same page about shoots and concepts. 42:40: The general workflow of SNL portrait sessions: from shoot preparation to editing and post-production. 45:17: Advice for emerging photographers looking for work or applying for an internship.   Guest Bio: As a top entertainment portrait photographer, Mary Ellen Matthews is specialized in creating iconic images of well-known personalities—from pop stars to sports legends to rock gods. Since 1999, she has been photographer in residence at Saturday Night Live, where she's responsible for creating the distinctive look of the show's still images. Through her exuberant presence that puts subjects at ease, her creative and playful styling on set and intensive fine-tuning in post, Matthews produces unique and recognizable portraits under the manic deadlines of live TV. What's more, in 2010, she began directing SNL's video clips, including the show's opening title sequence. Recent clients include Peacock, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Studios, and Prime Video, as well as publications such as Variety, Rolling Stone, Marie Claire, and the Spanish edition of Harper's Bazaar. Most notably, in March 2025, Matthews's first book, The Art of the SNL Portrait, was released to mark the 50th anniversary of this revolution in late night TV.    Stay Connected: Instagram: Saturday Night Live Instagram: Saturday Night Live on YouTube: -------- Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens
