Podcast appearances and mentions of Reese Witherspoon

This week we got completely sucked into DTF St. Louis on Max — and we have thoughts. David Harbour plays the most likable character in a show about suburban kinks, male loneliness and consensual weirdness, and we can't stop thinking about two middle-aged men tenderly dancing in their tighty-whities. Also: a woman yelled "you're my hall pass" at Ben during his Richmond show, and we're noticing a trend.Plus: the AI music backlash is real — Suno just raised $400 million and yet the public has definitively decided they do not want AI-created music. The Spotify CEO thinks bands should just drop a song every month. Reese Witherspoon is doing "let them eat cake" AI ads. And we explain exactly why tech platforms fundamentally do not understand creativity.Also: Seth Rogen's New York Times interview is essential listening, Ione had her first art show (get the painting at Vamped Vintage in Newtown), and we make the case for always having at least one normie friend in your life.

The Mark Thompson Show Hour 4 (6.11) In the 9 pm hour of The Mark Thompson Show, supermodel and author Susan Holmes McKagan joins Mark and Tim for a fantastic conversation about her new novel “The Velvet Rose.” She opens up about getting discovered at just 16, living the wild supermodel life in early ’90s New York, walking for fashion powerhouses like Chanel, Guess, Dolce & Gabbana and Armani, and somehow avoiding the full-blown party scene. Susan also shares the charming fairytale story of how she met and married Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan — one of the best rock ‘n’ roll meet-cutes ever — and discusses her exciting second act as a novelist. The hour wraps with voice coach to the stars Roger Love, who has worked with Bradley Cooper, Eminem, Gwen Stefani, Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Def Leppard, and many more. Roger talks about his most rewarding work helping people overcome stuttering and his powerful new documentary “Finding Your Voice.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mark Thompson Show Hour 2 (6.11) We’re back with the endlessly fascinating supermodel and author Susan Holmes McKagan, who walked for Chanel, Guess, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, and pretty much every major designer on the planet. The big question: How the hell did she not turn into a full-blown party girl in that world? Mark covers the chaotic car meetup bust in the LA Riverbed near Cypress Park — nearly 90 arrests and 72 vehicles towed — right as FIFA World Cup fever kicks off with Mexico vs South Africa. Then voice coach to the stars Roger Love joins the show. He’s worked with Bradley Cooper, Eminem, Gwen Stefani, Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, and Def Leppard, but his proudest achievement might be helping people overcome stuttering, which he dives into with his new documentary “Finding Your Voice.” To close it out, Mark Thompson is losing his mind over a full-blown rat infestation in his attic — the little bastards have turned his place into a rodent hotel and are destroying his gorgeous hardwood floors. Classic KFI chaos. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amy Griffin's bestselling memoir The Tell was celebrated by Oprah and Reese Witherspoon as a powerful story of recovered memories, trauma, and healing, until a lawsuit was filed more recently. In this episode, we discuss The New York Times stories on the topic, and unpack the controversy surrounding Griffin. Griffin's attorney has defended her and called the lawsuit bogus, saying “we look forward to exposing these meritless claims in court, as well as the deeply flawed New York Times reporting that is at the center of it.

The girlboss era promised that if women just worked hard enough, leaned in hard enough, optimized hard enough, equality was within reach. It wasn't. And now, a decade later, the same voices are back with the same urgency and the same "you'll be left behind" framing. The product this time? AI. Bridget sits down with Samantha and Anney from Stuff Mom Never Told You to talk about why Sheryl Sandberg, Reese Witherspoon, Mel Robbins, and the original girlboss herself Sophia Amoruso are all suddenly very invested in getting women onto AI platforms and why the women who aren't rushing to adopt it might actually be the ones paying closest attention. Let us know what you think by emailing hello@tangoti.com or leaving a comment on Spotify.

Gillian Flynn's novel Gone Girl defined a literary niche when it first came out in 2012, and it still defines it to this day. David Fincher's great 2014 adaptation—written in collaboration with Flynn—is one of the greatest and most fun movie thrillers of the 21st century. Now I want to present you with a terrifying scenario: What if this book had come out three years later, and instead of this glorious 2.5-hour film, we got a boring 12-hour streaming series? Come on, you can see it right now in your mind: Episode 3 is a flashback to Amy's life as a child, with none of the regular actors in it. Episode 9 is the Desi episode, and Amy finally arrives at his door right before the closing credits. No thank you. And so 1-Week Rental is here to take you through the history of that movie. How Gillian Flynn wrote her novel and then worked closely with Fincher on the production, how perfect the casting of both Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike was, how Reese Witherspoon produced the movie with the intention of playing Amazing Amy herself only to be told by Fincher she was all wrong for the part, and how this movie is loosely based on the lives of Laci Roth and Matt Stokes. Did you know that? Watch the history segment in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/i0WuyvYAyrg  We're off next week (June 5, 2026). The next episode will be out on Friday, June 12, 2026 when our summer miniseries begins. The Summer of Nolan opens with a podcast about Christopher Nolan's Memento (2000)!    Time stamps: 00:05:50 — History segment: Gillian Flynn writes the Gone Girl novel; movie optioned by Reese Witherspoon and David Fincher is hired to direct; career of Rosamund Pike; career of Ben Affleck  00:51:40 — Movie discussion 02:38:20 — Final thoughts & star ratings   Gone Girl (2014) was directed by David Fincher.

Brad revisits Just Like Heaven and breaks down a rom-com that asks one simple question: what if your roommate is a ghost… and also kind of the boss of you?The movie follows David (Mark Ruffalo), a sad, grieving guy just trying to reset his life, who moves into a new apartment—only to find Elizabeth (Reese Witherspoon), a high-strung doctor, already “living” there… despite possibly not being alive. What starts as a bizarre roommate dispute quickly turns into a strange partnership as David realizes he's the only one who can see her.Instead of doing the logical thing (leaving immediately), David sticks around—mostly because, as Brad points out, “she's Reese Witherspoon.” The two go from arguing like a dysfunctional married couple to teaming up on a mission to uncover what happened to Elizabeth before it's too late.Brad leans into the absurdity—calling out the wild decision-making (like casually living with a ghost), the awkward public conversations that make David look insane, and the ridiculous dynamic of being bossed around by someone who technically isn't even on the lease. But underneath the chaos, he admits the movie has some charm, blending humor, emotion, and an unexpected love story.In the end, the mystery gets solved, Elizabeth comes back to life, and the film lands on its core message about connection—even if the journey there is weird.

This week, we're balancing high-octane galactic stakes with a masterclass in modern indie-horror tension. Whether you're ready to travel to a galaxy far, far away or get trapped in the chilling, claustrophobic world of a basement with no escape, we've got your weekend viewing sorted. We're diving into the bone-chilling horror-thriller Obsession, directed by Curry Barker (of the YouTube sensation Sam & Colby / FilmTheory world). This film follows a young man who uncovers a terrifying secret hidden in his own basement, and let's just say it's a masterclass in building dread with a limited budget.Fun Flix Fact: Director Curry Barker brings his signature "viral-horror" sensibility to the big screen here. He famously filmed several "jump scare" sequences without telling the lead actors exactly when they would happen, capturing their genuine reactions for the final cut. If the fear feels real, it's because it absolutely was!The wait is finally over! Din Djarin and the galaxy's favorite Force-wielder are officially on the big screen. We're breaking down the scale, the action, and whether this feature-length adventure successfully bridges the gap between the hit TV series and the future of the Star Wars cinematic universe. But is the film any good? Fun Flix Fact: To maintain the secretive nature of the plot, the production used a code name during filming: Project Torch. The cast and crew were required to wear specially designed "ID shields" that blocked any cameras from capturing the set, ensuring no leaks could make it past the security teams.To celebrate 30 years of 90s thriller gold, we're revisiting the cult classic Fear (1996). It's the movie that made an entire generation terrified of "the guy with the backward baseball cap." We discuss how this flick—and Reese Witherspoon's breakout performance—defined the psychological horror genre for a decade.Fun Flix Fact: The infamous rollercoaster scene was filmed over three nights at a real fairground in Vancouver. The cast actually rode the coaster dozens of times until they were physically ill just to get that perfect amount of adrenaline-fueled exhaustion on camera.Improvised Danger: Mark Wahlberg, in one of his first major roles, was encouraged by director James Foley to improvise some of David McCall's most menacing lines. The most unnerving dialogue in the film wasn't even in the script!And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters!

Welcome back, WIFs.This week, Lauren and Michelle are diving into the topic that feels impossible to escape right now:AI.From Mel Robbins to Reese Witherspoon, everyone seems to be talking about artificial intelligence. Should we be excited by it? Terrified of it? A little bit of both?In this episode, the sisters explore AI from the perspective of everyday humans trying to navigate a rapidly changing world. No tech jargon. No expert analysis. Just a cozy, honest conversation about what it all means for the way we live, think, work, create, and connect.They discuss the growing fear of losing critical thinking skills, the environmental concerns surrounding AI, and the increasing difficulty of knowing what's actually real online anymore. But they also explore the hopeful side of technology, how it could potentially help solve major health issues, create new opportunities, and reshape everyday life if used mindfully.Most importantly, Lauren and Michelle reflect on the things AI can never replace: storytelling, grief, friendship, intuition, creativity, lived experience, human connection, and the soft skills that make us who we are. They also share how they personally use AI in daily life, where they draw boundaries, and why this conversation matters more than ever right now.Per usual, the sisters share what they're reading, watching, and listening to, along with a dose of weekly simple joys.Press play, get cozy… and let's talk about the future together.Because maybe now more than ever, doubling down on your humanity is the whole point.

The episode also includes behind-the-scenes trivia about deleted scenes, casting what-ifs involving Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Love Hewitt, and the surprising production history behind the film.If you grew up loving Dawson's Creek-era thrillers, late-90s teen dramas, or underrated millennial cult favorites, this episode is packed with nostalgia, hot takes, and plenty of laughs.

Or is it an accidental comedic masterpiece where a future Oscar nominee carves "Nicole" into his chest and declares war on a German Shepherd? We're leaning heavily toward the latter Join the guys as they break down: The Dirk Diggler Defense: Would Mr. Walker have been more chill if he knew Marky Mark was a future A-lister? Red Flag Bingo: Counting every time Reese Witherspoon's Nicole should have sprinted in the opposite direction. Peak '90s Aesthetic: A deep dive into the baggy jeans, the angst, and that infamous needle drop of The Sundays' "Wild Horses."

This episode celebrates the 30th anniversary of Fear, a psychological thriller that turned Mark Wahlberg from rapper/Calvin Klein model to the boyfriend parents hoped to keep their daughters away from. We revisit the film's premise, its release climate in the mid-90s, and why Fear remains a touchstone in psychological thrillers. We set the stage by outlining the stakes, the suburban setting that doubles as a trap, and what fans new and old still find shocking. In addition, we highlight the ensemble that makes Fear work on every level. We analyze Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon's chemistry and character arc, and spotlight Alyssa Milano, Amy Brenneman, and William Petersen's performances and how their characters amplify the thriller's dynamics. We also take a look at the film's themes, which unpack obsession, power dynamics, gaslighting, and the unpredictable push-pull of attraction and danger. This episode connects the on-screen psychology to broader thriller tropes and what makes Fear creep under the skin.Joining in for this discussion is Mark J. Parker of the Release Date Rewind podcast who is more than ready to take a look back at this late ‘90s classic. Links for Guests: Release Date RewindWhere To Watch Fear

1-Week Rental heads down to Pigeon Creek, Alabama, where things are just a little bit different than we're used to up in the big city. Will Melanie Carmichael (Reese Witherspoon) choose Jake (Josh Lucas), her rugged old flame with a take-no-prisoners attitude? Or will she choose Andrew (Patrick Dempsey), the son of a billionaire who's literally being groomed to be president? Either way, this movie's gonna make you laugh, and it's gonna make you think. But before examining Sweet Home Alabama in detail, Laci and Matt go through the history of its production, and then take a long look at Reese Witherspoon's movie career and her recent pivot into business mogul and champion of private equity and artificial intelligence.

This week I'm joined by my friend and collaborator Soraya Beheshti to discuss the queen, Reese Witherspoon! We analyze Reese as an emblem of Blonde Ambition done correctly: the inverse of the Taylor Swift “White Girl Ceiling” phenomenon wherein you actually can have it all and emerge as likeable. We trace the progression of Reese's early roles (Election, Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde) and how closely they match her public persona, and analyze the race among today's influencers to claim Elle Woods status (another talk at Harvard Business School lol?), how Reese narrativizes her Southern roots, and how she retains public adoration despite her endless ambition and capacity. This episode is a love letter to precocious, scrappy young girls everywhere!Soraya Beheshti is an artist, musician, and activist (and the woman behind all the recent STARGIRL social media!).

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. On today's episode, Andy Atherton is reviewing “Sweet Home Alabama” from 2002 starring Reese Witherspoon, Patrick Dempsey, Josh Lucas, Candice Bergen & Ethan Embry.

This week, some courtroom drama. It’s Elon Musk v. OpenAI the next few weeks and billionaires are taking the stand and opening their diaries — and memories of Burning Man — to scrutiny. Reed Albergotti (Semafor) breaks down the legal battle and why Elon Musk believes he’s owed billions since OpenAI went for-profit. Nitasha Tiku (The Washington Post) reports on the Pentagon agreement Google was ‘proud’ to sign. But it’s déjà vu for many Google employees, who once again demanded company leadership proceed cautiously. Finally, Taylor Lorenz (User Mag) on the ‘girlboss-ification’ of AI: the coordinated push by major AI companies to win over women, from Anthropic's invite-only influencer supper clubs in New York to Reese Witherspoon's suspiciously enthusiastic (and allegedly unpaid) AI pep talk on Instagram.Additional Reading: Shadowboxing Emperors | Semafor Google workers petition CEO to refuse classified AI work with Pentagon | The Washington Post Google told staff it is ‘proud’ of Pentagon AI contract after internal backlash | Financial Times The Girlboss-ification of AI w/ Kat Tenbarge | User Mag Download SAILY in your app store and use our code techstuff at checkout to get an exclusive 15% off your first purchase!

We celebrate female empowerment while simultaneously destroying women who actually achieve it. This episode unpacks why we pile on female leaders—from Brené Brown to Mel Robbins to Gwyneth Paltrow—in ways we never do for men. Not to defend these women although some deserve critique. It's about understanding the line between legitimate critique and character assassination, and asking what happens when we redirect that energy toward systemic change instead of moral policing.

In today's episode, Kathryn shares her powerful journey of learning how to live truthfully and authentically. What began in an acting class became a profound awakening—guiding her into deeper self-awareness, emotional vulnerability, and a more fully alive way of being. After building a successful corporate career and rising to the role of Vice President, Kathryn came face-to-face with a difficult truth: the path she was on no longer aligned with who she truly was. In this honest and inspiring conversation, we explore what it means to listen to your inner voice, navigate major life transitions, and choose truth over external success. If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or questioning your current path, this episode will remind you that it's possible to reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels true, aligned, and deeply fulfilling.

That question became The Truth Is, a podcast exploring the examined life through long-form conversation, and Truth Circles, a coaching and facilitation practice built around the same premise. She's also an actor, writer, and yoga and meditation teacher, and believes the most important intelligence isn't in our heads.   The Truth Is Podcast: https://linktr.ee/thetruthis_podcast The Truth Is Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetruthis_podcast/ Substack: https://substack.com/@kathrynflaschner  

We're taking a tour through celebrity crime — no Taylor Swift required. In this episode of Live, Laugh, Larceny: A True Petty Crime Podcast, Kylie Talamantez of Crime with Kylie joins Trevin and Amanda for a custom game built just for her: Kylie's Eras Tour — where celebrity scandals meet chaotic timelines. Before the game, Trevin rediscovers his love for Love on the Spectrum, Amanda fully commits to becoming a Crocs household, and Kylie vents about American Girl quality changes and the spread of “Mattel pink.” Then it's time for Kylie's Eras Tour. From Prince stealing a megaphone mid-tour to Matthew McConaughey's naked bongo arrest, Reese Witherspoon asking “do you know who I am?”, Winona Ryder's shoplifting case, Bill Murray's airport incident, and Ariana Grande's infamous donut scandal — Kylie has to place each crime in the correct “era” of their career. The final round pushes things even further, blending Tim Allen's real-life past with his sitcom future in a chaotic design challenge. After the game, Kylie shares her own experiences with crime and what it's like living in San Francisco. From celebrity scandals to absurd timelines, this episode proves crime never goes out of style.

First, a rundown of the scurrilous gossip you missed while you were actually working: Sydney Sweeney’s cameo’s been cut from The Devil Wears Prada 2, Harry Styles is either engaged or ring-baiting us and Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have hard-launched with a pap-frolic. In other business, why is Reese Witherspoon suddenly telling all her followers to use AI? Is this a genuine attempt to close the gender tech-gap, or is Reese just the friendliest face the robots could recruit to crack Gen X? In other business, we might be witnessing the most effective character-assassination comeback in history. While Lily Allen is currently touring an album that provides a literal receipt-by-receipt rundown of her marriage breakdown — complete with props explaining David Harbour’s alleged infidelity — her ex is busy being the most lovable man on TV in DTF St. Louis. Holly asks if playing someone lovable is the best way to rehabilitate an actor’s bad reputation? Let’s ask Noah Wyle and Adam Driver. What can one of the world’s richest women (by marriage) tell us about happiness? No, please don’t throw your phone, Clare’s all ears for Lauren Sanchez Bezos’s gratitude tips. And finally, we need to talk about the absolute tailspin that occurs when a Gen Z coworker compliments an older coworker’s outfit. Is it genuine praise, or a calculated power move? Amelia’s diving into millennial fashion anxiety and why a simple 'I love your jeans' can feel like a personal attack. SUBSCRIPTION GIVEAWAY: Win a $2,000 Bed Threads voucher.

Bryan's back in NYC and had a celebrity run-in at one of his favorite restaurants. Erin is somehow seeing all the Summer House news despite never having watched a second of the show, and Bryan tries to convince her to watch Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Erin discusses Nobel Prize-winning economist Claudia Goldin and how she helped the WNBA negotiate higher salaries by using data comparing the disparity between their male counterparts.
