This week we're excited to present an archival conversation from the 52nd New York Film Festival in 2014 with Inherent Vice director Paul Thomas Anderson and his very large and talented cast. For one week only from July 4-10, join Film at Lincoln Center in revisiting this great American film on 70mm film, ahead of the director's highly anticipated new feature One Battle After Honor. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/vice This conversation was moderated by Kent Jones, former Director of the New York Film Festival. Paul Thomas Anderson's wild and entrancing Thomas Pynchon adaptation is a cinematic time machine, placing the viewer deep within the world of the paranoid, hazy L.A. dope culture of the early '70s. It's not just the look (which is ineffably right, from the mutton chops and the peasant dresses to the battered screen doors and the neon glow), it's the feel, the rhythm of hanging out, of talking yourself into a state of shivering ecstasy or fear or something in between. Joaquin Phoenix goes all in as Doc Sportello, the private investigator searching for his ex-girlfriend Shasta (Katherine Waterston), menaced at every turn by the telegenic police detective “Bigfoot” Bjornsen (Josh Brolin). Among the other members of Anderson's mind-boggling cast are Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short, Owen Wilson, and Jena Malone.

Today, we're incredibly excited to chat with rising star Aparna Brielle, whose career took flight just as the acting industry underwent one of its biggest transformations: the self-tape revolution. From her early move to Los Angeles from Oregon to her breakout role as Sarika on NBC's A.P. Bio, Aparna has built a dynamic and diverse career—navigating everything from offbeat comedy to high-octane spy thrillers. Aparna shares how she based her A.P. Bio character on Reese Witherspoon in Election and how her wardrobe helped win her the role. We also reverse-engineer her journey from those first uncertain steps in Hollywood to her current role as Tina in Netflix's FUBAR, where she stars alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in a globe-trotting, adrenaline-filled CIA comedy-drama. With credits spanning Boo, Bitch, The Dead Girls Detective Agency, and Mech Cadets, Aparna shares insights on what it means to adapt, evolve, and stay sharp in a rapidly changing industry.

Steven, Andrew and I take a deep dive into the world of Reese Witherspoon—from her Southern charm to her powerhouse career. Fresh off reading Whiskey in a Teacup, I share my thoughts on Reese's take on life, style, and success. The three of us rank our favorite Reese projects (from Legally Blonde to Big Little Lies and beyond), debate her most iconic performances, and, of course, rewatch and react to that infamous drunk arrest video. Expect plenty of laughs, strong opinions, and maybe even a little inspiration from the queen of Southern grit and Hollywood wit.
We kicked off this Fully-Booked Podcast episode by sticking with our June theme: banned books. And this time, we focused on one that left us scratching our heads: Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen.The 2006 novel was recently banned in Utah's public schools under House Bill 29, which allows parents to challenge books they consider “sensitive material.” If three school districts or charter schools agree, the book can be pulled statewide. That's how Water for Elephants landed on the list, although, to be honest, we still don't quite get why.We couldn't find a solid answer despite digging around. It's not overtly graphic, political, or controversial in any standout way, so its ban feels baffling. That confusion is what actually sparked our whole Banned Books Month in the first place. We figured, if this book can be banned, what else is on these lists?Water for Elephants StoryThe book was adapted into a movie in 2011, starring Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, and Christoph Waltz. It was set during the Great Depression and follows Jacob Jankowski, a Polish-American veterinary student at Cornell. Just as he's about to graduate, tragedy strikes: both his parents die in a car accident. Jacob loses his home, his inheritance, and any hope of finishing his studies.With nowhere to go, Jacob hops on a passing train, which turns out to belong to a struggling traveling circus, the Benzini Brothers. From there, the story unfolds into a tale of hardship, romance, and survival under the big top. He meets Marlena, the circus's star performer, who's married to the charismatic yet increasingly violent ringmaster, August.What makes the movie unique is the addition of Rosie, a 53-year-old elephant brought in as the circus's new attraction. Rosie doesn't initially respond to commands, and August abuses her, thinking she's unintelligent. But Jacob discovers Rosie understands Polish, his native language, and with that breakthrough, he forms a bond with her.Behind the Scenes and Onscreen ChemistryWatching the film together, we had mixed feelings. The production value was solid; the costumes, set design, and overall look captured the Depression era beautifully. The acting was generally good, but we both agreed that the chemistry between Pattinson and Witherspoon felt flat. It wasn't bad, just kind of…there. You understood they were supposed to fall in love, but you didn't feel it.We even joked that this wasn't a steamy Notebook-level romance. There was one sex scene, and it happened while they were on the run for their lives, which felt oddly timed, to say the least. It didn't ruin the film, but it did make us question why that specific element might've been enough to get the book banned.Cultural ContextOne part of the discussion that hit close to home was about migration and cultural mindsets during the Depression. Jacob's story of traveling cross-country for work reflects a very American attitude of chasing opportunity. We compared that with how, in Canada, people generally don't move provinces nearly as much, partly because of climate and geography.The circus in Water for Elephants operates on razor-thin margins. It picks up and moves within a day or two, requiring hundreds of people to maintain operations. August's cutthroat management style is framed as necessary for survival in such tough times, but it quickly becomes clear he's also a violent narcissist who physically and emotionally abuses both Marlena and the animals.The final twist of the story involves Rosie killing August during a chaotic night that leads to the downfall of the Benzini Brothers Circus. Marlena and Jacob escape, start a new life with Rosie, join the Ringling Brothers, and eventually settle down in Albany. Jacob becomes a vet, and they raise a family with Rosie by their side for decades.The story is told in flashbacks by an elderly Jacob, now in a nursing home. He ends the story by joining a modern circus, wanting to return to a life that once gave him purpose.So, Why Was It Banned?We still don't have an answer. Animal cruelty is depicted, sure, but as part of the plot, not glamorized. There's a single implied steamy scene. Maybe it's the adultery subplot? Maybe the violence? But plenty of books in school libraries touch on all of those. We're left wondering if the ban is more about optics than content.Shirin suggested the book's banning was probably triggered by vague complaints, "inappropriate content" or "sensitive material", without clear definitions. Meaghan pointed out that Utah's law allows just three school districts to challenge and remove a book across the entire state. That's a low bar for sweeping censorship.We both acknowledged that this doesn't mean Water for Elephants is inaccessible to the general public in Utah. It's still available in libraries, bookstores, and of course, online. But within schools, it's off the table, and that's a concern.Wrapping Up With QuestionsWe closed the episode reflecting on how this experience made us rethink censorship and what gets flagged. If something like Water for Elephants can be banned, what else could be?We brought up A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) by Sarah J. Maas, which is a bit spicier but realistically would never be assigned in schools to begin with. We joked that if someone thinks ACOTAR is too much, they haven't seen the rest of the iceberg in the romance genre.We also laughed about the trend of big-name actors headlining these types of adaptations in the early 2010s. You had Reese, Robert, and Christoph, big names with big budgets. Today, the format has shifted. Book-to-film adaptations often hit streaming first, and casting doesn't always go for top-tier stars. It's a shift that's changed the dynamic of how we experience these stories.And finally, we turned the question back to you: why do you think Water for Elephants was banned? Because we've read the book, watched the movie, and talked about it for over an hour, and we're still stumped...

When she started her business, Julie McAllister was busy making sugar cookies for events around town — but what really lit her up were hyper-realistic, sculptural cakes. When she made the risky decision to niche down and fully own her creative lane, everything changed. That clarity led to Netflix's Is It Cake?, the Food Network, and clients like Reese Witherspoon. On today's episode, we're talking about the power of niching down, trusting your gut, and how clear positioning can fuel real growth.

Really Interesting WomenThe podcastEp. 150 Kath KoschelTo celebrate episode 150, it's appropriate that it's with one of the most extraordinary tales I've heard on this show.Kath Koschel's life is a powerful narrative of overcoming unimaginable odds through resilience, gratitude, and a profound belief in the transformative power of kindness. From the initial excitement of starting to realise her representative cricket dreams to devastating career ending injuries and devastating heartbreaking personal loss, Kath has, somehow consistently chosen to find strength in adversity and to channel her experiences into creating a global movement for good...and I imagine the global impact of her story would have resonated even more with my guest when, in 2018, she delivered the opening speech in a conference in Los Angeles to a packed audience that included the Obamas, the Dalai Lama, and Reese Witherspoon (whose production company has more than a passing interest in Kath's story).

Imagine someone who grew up homeschooled in a conservative, religious family in Nebraska—sounds like a memoir Reese Witherspoon is optioning for a film, right? Well, that's not Logan Graves.Logan is a musical theatre performer, stand-up comedian, tatted-up, and mulleted leftist icon who is BORN to live in Bushwick, but instead is single-handedly saving the deep Midwest. In this episode, we talk about what it's like growing up in a world that didn't see him—and how he now uses his bold external presentation to stay in control of how he's perceived.We also unpack our shared experience on We Are Family (where he was a fan favorite and lowkey heartthrob ?!), and naturally compare our experience filming a cable TV game show to filming White Lotus. We talk about how people love to project stories onto Logan just because he dresses like he's in a band you've never heard of.This ep is about self-expression, reinvention, and the surprising power of a great haircut. Enjoy !!

Mindy Kaling (Running Point, The Mindy Project, Never Have I Ever) is an Emmy-nominated writer, actor, and producer. Mindy joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how she is the only the second person Dax has ever worn a suit for, relate over the sexiness and status marker of a good yard, and ask whether one can be Indian on the west side of LA. Mindy and Dax talk about her parents coming from two different parts of India and their meet cute in Africa, how every show she makes has a slow motion shot of a shirtless man's torso, and why accidentally breaking her costar's nose during a play taught her the true meaning of ‘the show must go on.' Mindy explains how Reese Witherspoon convinced her not to wait to have kids, developing the assumption that she wouldn't be truly great in anything unless she wrote it herself, and how her relationship with her mother has actually continued since her passing.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

In the raunchy movie You're Cordially Invited, Will Ferrell and Reese Witherspoon face a mortifying conundrum: Their families' destination weddings have been double-booked for the same weekend. They reluctantly agree to share the venue, but, unsurprisingly, nothing goes smoothly as planned. Directed by Nicholas Stoller (Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors), the movie feels like a familiar throwback to the 2000s.Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopculture Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

It's the dead of winter and we're all in “hamper girl mode.” Jordana and Jared shake off the cold by jumping into some heated dating questions. Can a person have too many ongoing chats on a dating app? How do I know if breaking up was the right decision? And TikTok has spoken: Ghosting is out and “avoidant discarding” is in. J&J discuss this new dating term and how it's even worse than just leaving someone on read. Later, a listener meets his Reese Witherspoon-esque dream girl. The catch? She lives in a completely different city. J&J give him pointers on how to set up a second date without scaring her off. The “Awkward Encounter”, a typically smooth bartender dreads a looming speed dating event he signed up for. J&J coach him on how to make a great first impression. Then we play “Red Flag, Deal Breaker?,” about a post-sex breakup comment, missing ice cube trays and a date who is only looking for one thing. Have a dating question for Jordana and Jared?
