Podcast appearances and mentions of ritu arya

Last Christmas, we gave you a Christmas special, and this year we're doing the same because we're not very imaginative. This year, to save you from tears, we're doing Paul Feig's Wham-inspired romantic comedy Last Christmas. It was poorly received on its 2019 release, but as was generally the case with 2019 we didn't know how good we all had it. Now, it's settling in to become a Christmas favourite, with all the cheesy appeal of a Netflix or Hallmark movie filtered through two key talents - Feig and screenwriter Emma Thompson - who actually know what they're doing. Join Graham, Mark and show favourite Dexter (Mark's dog) as they discuss George Michael's legacy, the recent documentaries about him, the connection between the former Yugoslavia and the KLF, and how this film gets the most out of its often-miscast stars Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. Plus appreciations of supporting player Ritu Arya and Jason Statham, the latter of whom isn't in this movie but I dunno, the conversation just went that way. If you want to help us audition for the big ice show, you can donate to our Patreon, where you'll get a bonus episode of this show every month - the next one comes out tomorrow, and it's about Santa Claus Conquers the Martians - plus weekly articles on The Twilight Zone, Red Dwarf and The X-Files and our end-of-month miscellany podcast Last Night..., which is gearing up for its own Christmas special. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for more.

What do Bruce Lee, Shrek, Mean Girls, Sergio Leone, Get Out, Bollywood, Kill Bill, Charlie Chaplin, and All About Eve have in common? NOTHING! But that didn't stop first-time writer/director Nida Manzoor from throwing them all into a single movie. It's Polite Society.

Remember this shocking story from the 2016 election? The Trump campaign gutted Ukraine aid in the official RNC platform. Today this is mainstream for the GOP, with McConnell folding on Ukraine aid. This is catastrophic for the US and the world.  The recent transformation of the GOP into the Party of Putin began gradually, with only a few in Congress, like former Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who the Kremlin considered an asset, according to the FBI. In 2018, current House Speaker Mike Johnson took tens of thousands of dollars in dark money campaign donations linked to a Russian oligarch close to Putin who was part of the larger Kremlin operation exposed in the Mueller Report. The oligarch is Konstantin Nikolaev, who bankrolled Kremlin spy/GOP honeypot Maria Butina, who was arrested as part of the Mueller investigation, after pretending to be in love with NRA/GOP operative Paul Erickson. After Mike Johnson got caught taking donations linked to Nikolaev and other Russians (Oops!), he gave it back. But it was part of a wider operation used by the Russians in countries around the world to entrench their power in, known as “the golden handcuffs.”  Johnson blames other extremists in his party, like concentration camp guard Marjorie Taylor Greene, for "slowing down" Ukraine aid. They're not slowing down aid; they're blocking it, to help their financial backers in the Kremlin win.  Johnson and Trump are part of the Kremlin's long game. They develop their assets, then spread their influence deeper and deeper. This began with a few fringe people, like Rohrabacher. Now it's mainstream. This is state capture. What happens if we lose our country? No place is safe. If you think things are bad now, the entire world will be forced to live under the Kremlin's mafia state: violence and terror win, deciding everything. No more laws and elections. Many Republicans watched in shock as the Kremlin hijacked their party. But it was Republican operations, like Citizens United, that helped Russian dark money entrench the Kremlin's influence in the United States. More Americans must wake up that the loss of Ukraine is also the loss of our democracy. What's happening in Ukraine and the U,S. is an ongoing crime of state capture. The KGB-style operation started decades ago with Trump as a Russian asset. Where will we be if we and our institutions don't stop it?  Call your rep in Congress today to demand aid to Ukraine (202) 224-3121!  This week's bonus episode includes Andrea sharing her own stories of navigating the misogynistic labyrinth of Hollywood, and why, despite some big wins for women and representation (Yay Lily Gladstone and America Ferrera! Boo for no Fantasia nomination for The Color Purple!), why the Barbie Oscar snub matters. Olga Lautman, a Russian mafia expert and the co-host of the Kremlin Files podcast, continues her conversation with Andrea about what America will look like if Trump, and Putin, win the 2024 election.  *** Mark your calendars! Tristan Snell, the prosecutor who led New York State's case against Trump and Trump University and the author of "Taking Down Trump: 12 Rules for Prosecuting Donald Trump by Someone Who Did It Successfully," will join Andrea for a live-taping of Gaslit Nation for our community of listeners on February 12 at noon ET.

It's finally here. The double feature of the century. Barbie and Oppenheimer.

Hey everyone, well, I've finally seen Barbie. I have been one of the few people in the Internet movie space who has not been all that excited for this film... despite being a pretty big fan of Greta Gerwig and a lot of the cast. The trailers haven't looked great to me and to be honest, the Film Twitter overhyping of this film kind of turned me off even more. With that said though, to celebrate what will probably once be a worldwide holiday - Barbenheimer - I decided to check this film out... even if it was a couple of weeks late. So, is this yet another film talked about more so due to the excessive memes and hype online or is it actually a deep film with interesting themes? Find out my thoughts in this review! Barbie: Directed by: Greta Gerwig Written by: Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach Produced by: Tom Ackerley, Robbie Brenner, David Heyman, Margot Robbie Executive Producers: Cate Adams, Noah Baumbach, Richard Dickson, Toby Emmerich, Greta Gerwig, Ynon Kreiz, Josey McNamara, Michael Sharp, Courtenay Valenti Music by: Mark Ronson, Andrew Wyatt Cinematography by: Rodrigo Prieto Edited by: Nick Houy Casting by: Lucy Bevan, Allison Jones Production Design by: Sarah Greenwood Costume Design by: Jacqueline Durran Cast: Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Ariana Greenblatt, Michael Cera, Issa Rae, Will Ferrell, Rhea Perlman, Ana Cruz Kayne, Emma Mackey, Hari Nef, Alexandra Shipp, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Simu Liu, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa,  Jamie Demetriou, Connor Swindells, Sharon Rooney, Nicola Coughlan, Ritu Arya, Dua Lipa, Helen Mirren Synopsis: Barbie and Ken are having the time of their lives in the colorful and seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land. However, when they get a chance to go to the real world, they soon discover the joys and perils of living among humans.

The second half of the episode is a conversation with one of the film's leads, Ritu Arya.

The cast of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy was electric in Season 1. One's got to imagine it's a challenge to join such an ensemble and encourage the audience to fall for your character just as hard, but Ritu Arya did just that in the second season as Lila Pitts.When we first meet Lila in the hit Netflix series, her adoptive mother, The Handler (Kate Walsh), has her assisting in her mission to overthrow the authority at The Commission so she can assume control. However, after succeeding in that plan, Lila comes to learn that The Handler is responsible for the murder of her biological mother and stepfather, putting their entire relationship in question. Diego (David Castañeda) and the Umbrellas try to convince Lila that they can be her family, but after The Handler is shot, Lila opts to take off with the briefcase.Season 3 picks up immediately after the events of Season 2 with the Umbrellas making their way home sweet home to present-day New York — or so they think. Their home now belongs to The Sparrow Academy, an alternative version of their super-powered family. Ultimately, Lila does make her way back to the group to test this notion of family in an unexpected way; she tells Diego that they had a son together, Stanley (Javon Walton).With The Umbrella Academy Season 3 now available to watch — or, let's get real, to binge on Netflix, Arya joined us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party to retrace her steps in the industry and discuss how she scored a role on one of the streamer's hottest shows.

Elegir, planificar e ir hacia un norte. De ahí parte tu vida, de lo que elijas, del camino que quieras construir, los problemas que te permitas resolver y que dejes entrar, las cosas que te permites conocer, aprender. Nuestra reflexión se relaciona de alguna manera con la intención de hoy: Afrontar no es enfrentar, un escrito de Alicia Escaño Hidalgo. Compartimos en una nueva entrega de “Mi Opinión Personal” con Richard Douglas, quien nos da una opinión siempre dirigida a la actuación. Esta vez habla de la película de acción y comedia, disponible en Netflix: “Red notice”, “Alerta roja”, protagonizada por Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds y Ritu Arya. Bajo la dirección de Rawson Marshall Thurber. A propósito del Día Internacional de Eliminación de la Violencia contra la Mujer, conectamos con María Alejandra Tavárez, abogada. Con ella ampliamos sobre el valor de las empresas e instituciones dominicanas que cuentan con sistemas de gestión de igualdad género, promoviendo de esta manera la igualdad de oportunidades entre mujeres y hombres dentro de las organizaciones, y en general la erradicación de la violencia contra la mujer. Dice un refrán: “donde pones el ojo, pones la bala”, este tiene que ver mucho con el tema que nos comparte Fénix Pérez en esta nueva entrega: Atención y emoción para el 2022, la pregunta es: ¿Dónde estás poniendo tu emoción?

Tune in for Arthur's two cents on Netflix's Red Notice, the high-flying heist flick that cost a whopping $200 million, making it the Big Red N's most expensive original production to date. Additional side topics include the application of Last Action Hero logic to Red Notice, the ruthlessness of strangulation as a murder method, and the surprising number of times that Arthur brings up 2015's Ant-Man. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Skyscraper), Red Notice stars Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Ritu Arya, and Chris Diamantopoulos.
