Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul, Pluribus) joins us this week for a candid and grounded conversation about the weight of her recent Golden Globe win, the long road of rejections that shaped her, and the moment Vince Gilligan called to say he had written Pluribus specifically for her. Rhea opens up about watching herself on screen, suppressing her anger until her body forces it out, and finding the heroism in simply getting off the couch. We also talk about her mentor's advice on curtain calls, the brutal feedback she received about her looks early on, and why she believes the best acting comes from her healthiest place. Thank you to our sponsors:

For our 99th episode, we're looking at Pluribus, the Apple TV show starring Rhea Seehorn, the cosy, post-apocalyptic science fiction television series created by Vince Gilligan. We'll be looking in-depth at the flaws in utilitarianism, as well as the importance of free will and the occasional demon possession. Giles & Julia are joined by writer and R.S teacher Natalie Minaker who talks about how Pluribus gave her something of a crisis of faith in her utilitarian principles and teaches us about John Stuart Mill. Finding the Faith in the Film starts at 8:28.
Katey is joined by The Ringer's Joanna Robinson to catch up on a lot of Emmy contenders that premiered earlier in the season, from smash hits like Pluribus and Task to the smaller shows we're still rooting for. Then, Christopher Rosen catches up with Industry's dynamic duo about what might be next for Harper and Yasmin, and how the London-set tech show keeps throwing out new surprises. 00:00 Intro 01:12 New Oscar Rules! 02:06 International Feature Rule Change 03:53 Crediting the Director 05:13 Double Acting Nominations 06:48 Double Acting Examples 08:57 AI Rules 11:44 How to Process This Much TV 13:02 The Gamble of What to Pick to Cover 15:13 Covering Widows Bay 17:51 Task and Tom Pelphrey 18:42 Building Non-IP Cornerstones 22:57 The Lowdown & FX's Identity 27:00 The Comedy Actor Race 28:08 Overdue Emmy Narratives 29:58 Rhea Seehorn in Pluribus 32:05 The Scale of Pluribus 34:02 Lead Actress in The Pitt 34:41 Zendaya's Euphoria Future 38:24 All Her Fault & Limited Series 39:12 The Diplomat 41:07 Next: Marisa Abela & Myha'la 41:37 Marisa Abela & Myha'la 42:37 Approaching the Finale Breakup 44:26 Harper's Complete Depletion 47:31 Evolving After Four Seasons 48:49 Yasmin's Voicemail Scene 52:24 Filling in the Subtext 56:33 Yasmin's Volcanic Temper 58:35 Harper's Hollow Success 01:01:53 Saying Goodbye to Eric 01:05:49 Fan Expectations Subscribe today to Prestige Junkie After Party bonus episodes for just $5 a month.

Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn join The Rolling Stone Studio Live at SXSW to unpack what's ahead for Pluribus, their ambitious Apple TV+ drama that's still finding its next chapter. In conversation with Brian Hiatt, Gilligan reflects on the challenges of mapping out Season Two, the lingering fallout from that explosive finale, and why he's steering clear of “mystery box” storytelling. Seehorn, meanwhile, opens up about carrying the series from nearly every frame and the grueling shoot that revealed just how much the crew had her back. Learn more about your ad choices.

How We Seeez It! Episode 320, Pluribus (2025) Season 1 “Because I'm smart enough to know you don't ask a drug dealer to describe their heroin.” — Carol. Vince Gilligan's latest sci-fi, dystopian dark comedy series on Apple TV stars Rhea Seehorn as Carol Sturka.

For our first TV review of 2026, we discuss Vince Gilligan's Apple TV smash hit, Pluribus, which just wrapped its first season on Christmas Eve of last year. We dive deep into Gilligan's illustrious pedigree, the state of streaming and TV, and the many ways in which Pluribus is bucking convention.
In this episode, we review the first season of the Apple TV+ original series Pluribus, starring Rhea Seehorn. We discuss whether Seehorn is a star who can carry a show, and we debate whether the creators of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have another hit on their hands.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Send us a textEver left a party without goodbyes and felt oddly right about it? That's our jump‑off point for a fast, funny, and candid ride from a midnight move out of Charleston to a new life in Harrisonburg—where a sore back, a pool streak, and a golf addiction spark a deeper look at how we chase joy and manage wear and tear. We talk about the quiet power of leaving at the right time, then get honest about aging, fitness, and the tradeoffs we make when passion runs hot.From there, the conversation widens to sports culture and the gravity of star power. The PNC Championship felt lighter without Tiger and Charlie, and it raises a tough truth: icons change the temperature of a game. That same force ripples through college sports as NIL and the transfer portal reshape loyalty. We break down how revenue sharing made long‑overdue corrections but eroded season‑long narratives, and we pitch a fix that preserves mobility while restoring meaning—move the portal window until after the national titles so coaches coach, players finish, and fans get closure.Golf's civil war takes center stage next. LIV's shotgun chaos and giant purses versus the PGA's tradition and tension—what did money fix, and what did it flatten? We sketch a realistic path for big names to return: fines, a delayed runway, and limited access to premium events at first. Not out of nostalgia, but because stars lift the ceiling for everyone—attendance, ratings, and the feeling that anything can happen on 18.We close with a sharp watch pick: Plurribus on Apple TV, Vince Gilligan's mind‑bending series anchored by Rhea Seehorn. It's a reminder that the best stories—on a course, a stage, or a screen—bind us together. Hit play, then tell us: which rule would you change first—portal timing, LIV returns, or something we missed? And if this resonated, follow, share, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find the show.Spotify Apple podcastsAmazon Music all other streaming services
Composer Dave Porter joins SCORE to discuss the musical storytelling of paradigm-shattering sci-fi series PLURIBUS on Apple TV, the process of working with creator Vince Gilligan on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and why a tight-knit creative team is the key to never, ever letting a spoiler leak before an episode is out.Dave discusses his upbringing in the Washington D.C. area, and how his early life competing in piano competitions didn't really lead him into composing — until the digital revolution unlocked new musical exploration.Plus, how to write a human-sounding opening theme for Pluribus with carefully-chosen syllables, as sung by a choir. Why it takes a day or more to spot a single episode. And how Pluribus' star, played by Rhea Seehorn, has her own unique sound.Interview by Kenny Holmes and Matt Schrader in Hollywood.

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are jumping into three big releases across comics and streaming. First up is DC/Marvel: Batman Deadpool #1, the historic crossover one shot published by DC. Written by Grant Morrison with art by Dan Mora, this issue throws the Dark Knight and the Merc with a Mouth into a chaotic collision that only two universes crashing together could spark. Morrison brings the meta madness, Mora delivers the kinetic spectacle, and we are unpacking whether this landmark comic sticks the landing on one of the wildest crossovers in modern superhero history. Then we turn to Pluribus on Apple TV, the brand new sci fi drama from Vince Gilligan, starring Rhea Seehorn as Carol Sturka. The show follows Carol as the rest of humanity is suddenly joined into a hive mind that seeks to amicably assimilate immune individuals into itself. Is this another hit series from Gilligan? We'll give you our take. Finally, we dive into Star Wars Visions Season 3, the latest anthology series featuring bold, inventive animated shorts from studios around the world. From mythic interpretations to stylish experiments, we are talking about which episodes stand out, which push Star Wars storytelling forward, and which ones you will want to rewatch the moment the credits roll.

Created by Vince Gilligan, PLURIBUS imagines a world that has been taken over by... kindness. After an alien outbreak leads to a global pandemic, humanity fall into a sense of communal bliss. Well... not everyone. There are still a small number of humans -- like Carol -- who are immune to this submissive bliss. Now, Carol and the smallest fraction of the human race must decide if they will join forces to defeat their foes or simply give in and join the new collective. In this 1on1, we speak to star Rhea Seehorn about what Carol really wants and the joy of 'surprise'.CAUTION: Interview contains spoilers for episode 8 of PLURIBUS.PLURIBUS is now streaming on Apple TV+.
Chris and Andy briefly talk about the ‘Pluribus' Season 1 finale (1:02), before they're joined by series creator Vince Gilligan and star Rhea Seehorn to unpack the episode (8:25).

Can you charm someone into assimilation? In Pluribus Episode 8 (“Charm Offensive”), the Others turn up the emotional manipulation — and Carol feels every bit of it. As Zosia returns with a new strategy to win her over, Carol lets her guard down just enough to spark intimacy, only to realize how calculated everything might be.Brandon & Chanel break down the beauty, heartbreak, and ethical gray zones:Zosia's slow-burn seduction: companionship, compliments, and… mango ice cream storiesThe recreated diner scene — touching tribute or disturbing fake memory?Carol's evolving whiteboard: the return of “What I Know About Them”That kiss: meaningful connection or hive-sanctioned distraction?Carol's conflicted monologue: “This is mental illness. It's psychosis.”Manousos wakes up — in a hospital under Others' care — and breaks out againThe Others' plan to spread the “gift” beyond Earth… while still starving hereZosia's line that says it all: “We wish you would give up. But we also love Wycaro.”With standout performances from Rhea Seehorn and Karolina Wydra, this episode explores the blurry line between comfort and control, love and coercion, autonomy and assimilation. And Brandon & Chanel are here to break it all down — from fake diners to forced hope to that final, haunting glance out the window.

Michael Shannon understands he's associated with some intense, menacing characters he's played, like Agent Nelson Van Alden in ‘Boardwalk Empire.' “I'm a big fella, and I got this giant head, and it's not too difficult for me to seem intimidating I suppose, but it couldn't be further from what I'm actually like,” he tells Dave Davies. In two new projects, though, Shannon plays good guys. He's President James Garfield in the new series ‘Death by Lightning' and he's a prosecutor trying Nazi leaders for war crimes in the new film ‘Nuremberg.'Also, we hear from Rhea Seehorn, star of Apple TV's ‘Pluribus.' The series has a sci-fi premise, but the themes of the show are more existential. Like, what is happiness? What is the importance of individuality? She spoke with Terry Gross. Maureen Corrigan shares her list of the best books of the year.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
Silence never felt so loud. In Pluribus Episode 7 (“The Gap”), the show dials down the dialogue and cranks up the emotion. With Carol wandering alone through New Mexico and Manousos crossing continents to find her, Pluribus delivers its most poetic, gut-punching hour yet — and Rhea Seehorn and Carlos-Manuel Vesga are jaw-droppingly good.Time Stamps:Pluribus Recap Started at (8:50)Brandon and Chanel Talk about what they Watched This week (52:00)Brandon & Chanel break down this word-light, emotion-heavy installment:Carol sings her way through grief: from R.E.M. to “Hot in Herre” to Sousa's greatest hitsManousos practices English across the Darién Gap — “I am not one of them. I wish to save the world.”The fireworks scene and Carol's near-death moment: dark, hilarious, existentialNature invades — wolves return, solitude creeps in, and the Others stay goneZosia's surprise return — a wordless embrace that says everythingA masterclass in sound design: music, silence, buzzing drones, and gut-wrenching criesWhy this might be Pluribus' most daring, visually stunning, and emotionally grounded episode yetWith its stunning cinematography, lack of traditional dialogue, and emotional storytelling told through music, motion, and silence, Episode 7 is an unforgettable midpoint marker. And Brandon & Chanel are here to unpack every lingering glance, aching lyric, and wilderness scream.

Let us know what you thought about the series so far in comment below and please like and subscribe to our podcast and YouTube channel. Thanks for listening!
The new Apple TV+ series was created by Vince Gilligan, who also created ‘Breaking Bad' and co-created ‘Better Call Saul.' He liked her work in ‘Saul' so much, he wrote the lead in ‘Pluribus' for her. The story has a sci-fi premise, but the themes of the show are more existential – like what is happiness? What is the importance of individuality? Seehorn spoke with Terry Gross about the show, her secretive father who worked in counter intelligence, and her memories of Bob Odenkirk's nearly fatal heart attack on set. Also, critic Ken Tucker shares Christmas music from Brad Paisley, Mickey Guyton, Leon Bridges, and Old Crow Medicine Show.

Later, they discuss the degree of difficulty required to pull off what Rhea Seehorn is doing on ‘Pluribus,' the show's biggest fan theories (29:52), and ‘Landman' S2E4 (48:34).

Nothing says “we're not monsters” like shrink-wrapped human meat in a freezer. In Episode 6 of Pluribus (“HDP”), Carol uncovers the dark secret behind the Others' food supply — and let's just say, she may never look at milk the same way again.Brandon & Chanel break down the jaw-dropping reveals:The Agri-Jet warehouse scene: Carol finds dismembered bodies, vats, grinders… and it gets worseWhat is HDP?

Rhea Seehorn delivers again, and Brandon & Chanel are here to make sense of every surreal, stomach-turning moment.
This week’s Nose — guest hosted by writer and journalist Lindsay Lee Wallace — looks at: PLUR1BUS is a new post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller series created by Vince Gilligan. Apple TV describes its premise like this: “The most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.” Rhea Seehorn stars as Carol, one of the few people on the planet who weren’t part of the “Joining,” an event that turned most of humanity into a — very polite — hive mind.

We unravel the delicious (shared) universe Vince Gilligan has created with Apple TV's PLUR1BUS! Rhea Seehorn kills it, yet again, as one of Gilligan's classic antagonizing protagonists, Carol Sturka. The show's collective is Invasion Of The Body Snatchers meets The Walking Dead meets Star Trek's The Borg, only resistance actually hurts them, nobody was viciously torn apart, and their consciousness isn't replaced but shared by the world's population.
Vince Gilligan and cast of PLURIBUS including BETTER CALL SAUL's brilliant Rhea Seehorn gather with Josh to pull the curtain back on the new critically acclaimed show.

On this week's show, Steve, Dana, and Julia merge their consciousnesses—so to speak—to reflect on Pluribus, the latest television saga from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. In this unlikely body snatchers/sci-fi mashup, Rhea Seehorn plays a woman intent on saving the world from… eternal happiness? What exactly it needs saving from—or if it needs saving at all—is fodder for much discourse. Next, they turn to the ruminative and funny family drama Sentimental Value, directed by Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier and starring Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve. Finally, they take a look at a recent piece in The Ankler by Richard Rushfield crunching the numbers to reveal that, since #MeToo, troublingly few major films have been directed by women. In an exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, it's time to party! Or rather, it's time for a reflective discussion about parties as pieces of personal culture. Endorsements Dana: Reading up on the historical figure Jean Ross, the writer and activist who inspired both the song “These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)” and the character Sally Bowles of Goodbye to Berlin/Cabaret notoriety.

Vince Gilligan returns to the prestige airwaves with Pluribus, an apocalyptic Rhea Seehorn vehicle that's getting uniformly great reviews -- and Jeff Drake returns to the podcast to talk about why WE aren't all on the same page with its world-building, self-consciously beautiful shot compositions, and more (though we all DO agree that Seehorn is the President of Acting). We went Around The Dial with Stumble, The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling, and Who Hired The Hitman? before Jeff went nuts with a Canon pitch from The Dick Van Dyke Show. All's Fair won, Kim Kardashian's bar-exam support team lost, and we reeled in the years with a historical-TV Game Time. Polish off that rosé and join us! GUESTS
On this week's show, Steve, Dana, and Julia merge their consciousnesses—so to speak—to reflect on Pluribus, the latest television saga from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. In this unlikely body snatchers/sci-fi mashup, Rhea Seehorn plays a woman intent on saving the world from… eternal happiness? What exactly it needs saving from—or if it needs saving at all—is fodder for much discourse. Next, they turn to the ruminative and funny family drama Sentimental Value, directed by Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier and starring Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve. Finally, they take a look at a recent piece in The Ankler by Richard Rushfield crunching the numbers to reveal that, since #MeToo, troublingly few major films have been directed by women. In an exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, it's time to party! Or rather, it's time for a reflective discussion about parties as pieces of personal culture. Endorsements Dana: Reading up on the historical figure Jean Ross, the writer and activist who inspired both the song “These Foolish Things (Remind Me of You)” and the character Sally Bowles of Goodbye to Berlin/Cabaret notoriety. Julia: Kate McKinnon talking with Amy Poehler on Good Hang and Jennifer Lawrence talking with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang on Las Culturistas— celebrities interviewing celebrities isn't all bad! Steve: By Night in Chile by Roberto Bolaño and the Dutch indie rock band Bettie Serveert— especially this playlist. … Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.

Nick welcomes Dan Fienberg, TV critic for The Hollywood Reporter, back to the podcast for another round of sharp television talk. They dive into the most recent Saturday Night Live episodes and the latest TV news before Dan reviews several new releases, including Vince Gilligan's sci-fi comedy “Pluribus” starring Rhea Seehorn, Emma Thompson's mystery “Down Cemetery Road,” Netflix's tense thriller “Death By Lightning” featuring Michael Shannon, and Ken Burns' sweeping new documentary on the American Revolution. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to discuss James Bond films and her volunteer work with Nourishing Hope, a Chicago-based organization providing food, mental health counseling, and other essential services for people in need. They also talk about the strain caused by the ongoing SNAP program disruptions during the government shutdown and how listeners can help support the effort. It's a thoughtful mix of pop culture, compassion, and classic Nick & Esma chemistry.[Ep 401]
This week, the gang dives headfirst into the weird, wild world of AI video creation — from Sora 2 and Grok to the strange new internet characters they're spawning. Tim shares how he's been using Sora to make surreal videos for Gilbert (and inventing a whole alternate-dimension being named Gob-Loaf along the way), while Dustin and Lizzie trade their own AI stories and Jeff admits he's just waiting until they let you make porn. We also tackle the viral Food Stamp “Toast Lady” video that fooled half of TikTok (spoiler: she's not real — just another AI fever dream). In Views or Snooze, the crew previews the week's big streaming drops: * Death by Lightning (Netflix) — Michael Shannon brings President Garfield back from the dead (metaphorically). * Frankenstein (Netflix) — Guillermo del Toro's gothic vision finally arrives… a week late for Halloween. * Pluribus (Apple TV+) — Vince Gilligan returns with Rhea Seehorn in a mysterious new drama. * Plus: Jeff's culinary Staff Pick — the Whataburger patty melt with a blackberry Dr Pepper milkshake — and Tim's Text Impressions, featuring Sam Elliott reflecting on life with Billy Bob Thornton as his son.
