Vertical merger review has long rested on the principle that competitive harm is most likely when a merged firm has both the ability and incentive to foreclose rivals, yet courts and enforcers often struggle to establish that harm empirically. But can potentially anticompetitive vertical integrations be screened in advance using observable market characteristics? Charles Hodgson, Assistant Professor of Economics at Yale University and Faculty Research Fellow at the NBER, and Shilong Sun, Senior Economist at Compass Lexecon, join Anora Wang and Panos Dimitrellos to discuss how evidence from the Chinese film industry sheds light on when vertical foreclosure is likely to emerge, why downstream concentration and upstream product substitutability matter, and how these findings may inform modern merger review across industries ranging from movie theaters to digital platforms. Listen to this episode to learn more about how a practical screening framework for vertical mergers could help identify when foreclosure concerns are most likely to arise and provide enforcers and practitioners with a more evidence-based approach to assessing competitive harm.

Nominations for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards delivered both expected and unexpected results. “The Pitt” led the way with 25 nominations, with “Hacks” one behind at 24. Shows like “Widow’s Bay” (19), “Pluribus” (18), “Beef” (16) and “DTF St. Louis” (13) were among other big winners. But popular shows like “The Bear” (8 nominations), often criticized for entering comedy categories, and “Stranger Things” (7 nominations in technical categories), were left out of most of the big categories. In this episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz discuss the nominations that were released earlier in the month. The awards ceremony will be held on Sept. 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The hosts also chat about some new programming, like the Netflix adaptation of “Little House on the Prairie” and the latest “Big Bang Theory” spinoff: “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.” And "House of the Dragon" is back, with its third season perhaps its best so far.

While the atrocities in Palestine and Gaza have been live-streamed by courageous on-the-ground journalists, American legacy media have operated in an entirely different reality. Dr. Andersen details how establishment journalism has actively abandoned baseline standards of accuracy and fairness to echo fabricated atrocity propaganda and shield the state of Israel from accountability.In this interview, we break down the explicit mechanics of this media complicity:The New York Times Bureau Bias: How the "paper of record" has historically staffed its Jerusalem bureau with known Zionists and activists whose families actively serve in the IDF. We discuss the biostructural compromise of the bureau physically operating out of a home stolen from a Palestinian family during the Nakba.Leaked Style Guides & Directives: A look into the newsroom directives leaked to The Intercept that formally banned journalists from using core factual terms like "occupied territories," "refugee camps," "massacre," or "genocide".Weaponized Passive Voice: How headlines use phrases like "aid-related deaths" or "explosions" to describe situations where Israeli soldiers actively shot starving civilians or bombed densely populated neighborhoods like Jabalia.Billionaire Capture & Digital Suppression: The chilling effects of doxxing groups like the Canary Mission on university campuses, and the corporate takeover of networks like CBS by tech moguls implementing top-down Zionist editorial overrides.Dr. Robin Andersen's book, The Complicit Lens, features an introduction by Rashid Khalidi and is available now directly from OR Books.Like, subscribe, drop a comment, and protect your peace.

While summer is synonymous with blockbuster movies, a trip to the theater isn't limited to sitting in a multiplex. For those seeking something different, drive-in theaters — though not as prevalent as they once were — are still thriving in parts of the country and offer a unique movie-watching experience. In this episode, co-hosts Terry Lipshetz and Bruce Miller recall their experiences at drive-in theaters. Terry reminisces about visiting a New Jersey drive-in during its final season before it became a multiplex, and expresses excitement for the return of the Highway 18 Outdoor Theatre near his home in Jefferson, Wisconsin. Bruce reflects on attending drive-ins as a teenager.

Steven Spielberg is the master of the summer blockbuster. His 1975 classic "Jaws" is credited as the first big summer movie in film history, and films from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Saving Private Ryan" are among his most loved summer films. Spielberg is also noted for his science-fiction films that explore the possibilities of life beyond our planet, such as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Building on this legacy, he returns this summer with "Disclosure Day," which explores what would happen if the existence of aliens were revealed to the world. In this episode, the conversation shifts from Spielberg's filmography to the latest release, as co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about the film. They note that while it is good, it does not live up to the hype that comes with a Spielberg film. However, as mentioned in this week's episode, the worst Spielberg film is still going to be better than just about anything else. The hosts also discuss the New York Knicks finally winning an NBA title before looking ahead to the release of "Toy Story 5."

We haven't seen all of the big summer blockbusters, but there are still plenty of movies to watch. But are they worth your time? And the final season of "The Bear" is almost here. Co-host Bruce Miller has seen almost all of the episodes and shares what we can, while co-host Terry Lipshetz talks about the bonus episode of the show that dropped in May called "Gary." In this episode, the hosts talk about "The Bear" and movies like "Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass," "Toy Story 5," "Elle," a new series that is a prequel to "Legally Blonde," and "The Social Reckoning," a movie that serves as a follow-up to "The Social Network" starring Oscar-winner Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White of "The Bear."

“Disclosure Day” and “The Odyssey” are expected to dominate the summer box office, but they’re not quite here. Instead, we’ve been left with an underwhelming start to the summer movie season to go with the conclusion of several seasons and series of streaming favorites. On this week’s episode, co-host Bruce Miller shares his thoughts on movies that missed the mark, from “Power Ballad” to “The Breadwinner” to “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.” And then there is another movie with low expectations:  “Masters of the Universe.” Co-host Terry Lipshetz shares his thoughts on the conclusions of “Euphoria,” “Beef,” “Half Man,” “The Testaments,” and “For All Mankind,” before turning to the start of the latter’s spinoff, “Star City.” About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, managing editor of the National Newsroom for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin.

You can often see Broadway shows near home, without traveling to New York. But the experience isn't quite the same. From the intimate theater settings to the more permanent sets to the opportunity to see Hollywood's stars trying something different, the theater experience in New York is unique. Join co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz as they dive into Broadway, sharing insider tips for scoring tickets, recounting their favorite theater moments, and spotlighting buzzworthy shows like "Schmigadoon," "The Lost Boys" and "Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York."

Sports programming can go beyond the games. Shows like HBO's NFL series "Hard Knocks" and the recent Netflix ice dancing show "Glitter & Gold" tell compelling stories. With the World Cup coming into view, Tubi has entered the sports documentary space with "Destination World Cup," a show featuring three soccer players — Marc Cucurella, Harry Wilson and Weston McKennie — as they work to secure roster spots for the sport's biggest tournament. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller talks with McKennie about his career and the state of the sport in the United States.

"James Bond" is the longest-running and most successful spy film series, with 25 movies released by Eon Productions since 1962. "Mission: Impossible" doesn't have quite as many films with eight to date, but you also have the long-running 1960s television show. The latest challenger to the genre hasn't been around quite as long, but the series of "Jack Ryan" films, taken from or inspired by Tom Clancy's novels, has been going strong since Alec Baldwin starred in 1990's "The Hunt for Red October." After four more movies starring Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine in the role of Jack Ryan, John Krasinski reprised the role for the streaming series on Amazon Prime Video. Now, Krasinski is bringing his Jack Ryan to theaters with "Jack Ryan: Ghost War." In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller speaks with director Andrew Bernstein, co-star Michael Kelly and stars, writer and producer Krasinski, as well as co-star Sienna Miller. Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz also talk about the history of the series and spy movies in general.

There is something to be said about the opportunities that come with independent films. Actors can shift behind the camera or into other roles not typically available in more mainstream productions. That’s the case with “Neglected,” an independent project from David Lipper, who wrote, directed and produced the film to go along with an acting role in the movie. In this week’s episode, hear from Lipper as well as his co-star Elena Sanchez, who both share their thoughts on the movie. That interview from co-host Bruce Miller is followed by another with Josh Duhamel and Dylan Sprouse, who also co-star in the film. Duhamel is best known for his Daytime Emmy-winning role on “All My Children” and for appearances in four of the “Transformers” movies. Sprouse has had a number of roles with his twin brother, Cole, in shows like “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” and “Grace Under Fire,” but has more recently found success on his own.

There has been fierce debate this morning regarding whether the screening of The World Cup should be banned at Fed Square. In this edition of The Conversation Hour we talk what it means to balance the benefits of community connection fostered by the event against the security concerns.Also in this edition, concerning rates of asthma in the inner West, combating online radicalisation, and the impact of the hantavirus on the cruise ship industry.Plus, we reflect on cultural healing ahead of Kumanjayi Little Baby vigils this evening.

Summer isn’t just for blockbuster movies. Whereas network television traditionally went into hibernation by late May, in the age of streaming, where content is king, fresh TV programming is needed 12 months a year. Right now, there is plenty to choose from. One of the big ones is the next offering from “Baby Reindeer” creator and star Richard Gadd, who returns with a new limited series titled “Half Man,” a drama starring Jamie Bell. Also returning to the small screen is Kate Hudson, who is back for the second season of “Running Point,” in which she runs the family’s pro basketball team. There is yet another “Yellowstone” spinoff with “Dutton Ranch.” Meanwhile, “For All Mankind” is slowly winding down with its fifth season on Apple TV+, but fans won’t have to wait long for something fresh as its spinoff, “Star City,” is due out May 29 on the same platform. On the topic of spinoffs, “The Testaments”—set years after the events of “The Handmaid’s Tale” and continuing its narrative—has been off to a strong start.

Does it feel like summer? If not, soon it will be with a nonstop flow of big movies about to hit theaters. There are general formulas that are followed each year. You have a music biopic in "Michael." There are movies with numbers in their titles, like "The Devil Wears Prada 2" and "Toy Story 5." There are always superhero movies, and this year there are plenty, including "Avengers: Doomsday," "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "Supergirl." And, of course, you have big movies from big directors, like Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" and Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day." "Masters of the Universe" looks to bring in the 1980s crowd, but will it hold up? Does "The Odyssey" have enough star power to succeed, or is the classic tale destined to fail? Can "The Mandalorian & Grogu" get the "Star Wars" franchise back on track for Disney? And do we really need a live-action version of “Moana” even though the animated versions remain fresh? Ultimately, summer blockbusters are about movies that you don't want to miss in theaters. Only time will tell if this will be a successful summer.

Tubi or not Tubi? The streaming platform has found an interesting niche of programs, often starring social media influencers. One of the latest programs to drop is "Hive," a horror film featuring "Dancing with the Stars" winner Xochitl Gomez and Aaron Dominguez. Co-host Bruce Miller catches up with the pair. Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz then discuss the latest streaming programs: "Half Man" is a new HBO series from Richard Gadd, who found success with his breakout Netflix limited series "Baby Reindeer." Andie MacDowell is back with the fourth season of the Netflix series "The Way Home." And following the success of the Netflix limited series "Beef," the show has since become an anthology series with a new cast featuring Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan. They co-starred in the movie "Inside Llewyn Davis." The question is whether they can find the same chemistry. Finally, be prepared to hit pause and finish "The Pitt" if you haven't already. The final hour of season two has aired, and we have a spoiler-filled conversation about how things ended and what might be next for the cast.

The final season of "The Handmaid's Tale" wrapped less than a year ago, yet here we are, back inside Gilead. "The Testaments," Hulu's spinoff series based on Margaret Atwood's second novel of the same name, takes viewers several years past the events of the final season. The red cloaks of handmaids are nowhere to be seen. Instead, we follow Plum Girls and Pearl Girls as a new generation of young women navigates this dystopian future, in a show starring Chase Infiniti as Agnes MacKenzie/Hannah Bankole. Infiniti is coming off her starring performance in the Oscar-winning "One Battle After Another." In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller talks with Mattea Conforti (Becka Grove) and Rowan Blanchard (Shunammite), two of the new cast members, who share their thoughts on the current and former series.

Co-host Bruce Miller has been binging a lot of TV. He has seen the final episodes of "The Pitt" and shares that it will be an emotional ride to the end. He's seen "The Comeback" and the new show from Steve Carell, "Rooster," which doesn't live up to some of his past projects.

The Oscars are in the rearview mirror, which gives us an opportunity to turn our attention back to television and streaming programs.

This podcast is normally a place to talk movies and streaming shows, but the Olympics provided their own form of drama during the two weeks of the Games that just concluded. You had the 'Quad God' Ilia Malinin falling short of gold. There were the ice dancers — and "Glitter & Gold" stars — Madison Chock and Evan Bates, who took silver following team gold. And there was also Eileen Gu, the American-born freestyle skier competing for China and a major social media influencer. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about the Olympics, their favorite moments, and the Netflix miniseries "Glitter & Gold," which takes viewers behind the scenes and into the world of ice dancing. Miller also shares some of the other shows he's been watching, such as "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins" with Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, the return of "Scrubs" with Zach Braff, season 3 of "The Night Agent" with Gabriel Basso, and season 2 of "Paradise" starring Sterling K. Brown. Finally, we chat about the full trailer of "The Mandalorian & Grogu," which marks are return to theaters for "Star Wars" when it debuts on May 22.

"Melania" is less traditional documentary and more brand rollout, much like what you'd get at a fashion show. While the movie takes a guarded approach and doesn't get too deep into First Lady Melania Trump's backstory, there is still something to be learned. Like the current state of politics, the film has been polarizing. Reviews from traditional film critics have largely been negative, but moviegoers have praised the film. As of this podcast, "Melania" scores 8% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but 99% and "Verified Hot" from the audience.  After the co-hosts discuss the documentary, they shift over to the latest version of "Dracula," this time coming from director Luc Besson ("La Femme Nikita," "Leon: The Professional," "The Fifth Element"). Bruce Miller catches up with Besson as well as stars Caleb Landry Jones (Dracula) and Zoe Bleu (Elisabeta/Mina Murray).

Ella Chikezie steps into the director's chair with In Her Shoes, a short film shaped by urgency and care. Known for her work on Christmas in Lagos and in the production trenches of Choke and Tokunbo, Chikezie makes her directorial debut. The project was awarded under the initiative Using Entertainment Media to Combat Gender Based Violence in Nigeria. For Chikezie, this film is personal. It is also political. It is a quiet declaration of intent. The story follows Halima, a young autistic Muslim girl who finds freedom on a football pitch. At home and at school, she is misunderstood. Her joy is dismissed as unfeminine. Her difference is treated as a burden. As financial pressure and social expectations close in, Halima's mother considers an arranged marriage as an escape. Her father, shaken by his daughter's moments of joy, must choose between tradition and tenderness. One choice could change everything. In Her Shoes joins a strong lineage of African films that confront painful truths with purpose. Like Dazzling Mirage, The Lucky Specials, and Nawi: Dear Future Me, the film treats cinema as a tool for awareness. It addresses autism, child marriage, bullying, and gender bias without preaching. Screened at the 2025 Lagos Fringe Festival, the film announces itself with restraint and confidence. Darasimi Nadi delivers a performance of striking honesty, allowing silence and gesture to speak where words cannot. Chikezie directs with clarity and resolve. The film trusts its audience. It builds to an ending that lingers, not because it shouts, but because it refuses to look away. A girl runs. A ball rolls forward. The noise follows. In Her Shoes reminds us that change is rarely polite, often uncomfortable, and always necessary. This episode of Visual Intonation Podcast explores how one filmmaker uses story to insist on dignity, visibility, and hope.  Ella Chikezie's Filmography: imdb.com/name/nm13215349 Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

High school popularity has long fueled storylines in teen and coming-of-age movies. Classics like "The Breakfast Club," "Weird Science" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" from John Hughes, as well as recent films like "Napoleon Dynamite," all explore this theme. Tubi's new movie, "How to Lose a Popularity Contest," tackles the topic of popularity in a film that stars influencer Chase Hudson and co-star Sara Waisglass. You can hear from them in an interview with co-host Bruce Miller. We also talk about the new addition to the "Star Trek" franchise with the start of "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy."

The Golden Globes honor both film and television, but network TV shows have largely been excluded from major awards in recent years. "Abbott Elementary" remains a rare network contender versus streaming giants like HBO, Netflix and Apple TV. Although ultimately overlooked, it was the only network nominee for Best Television Series in the drama, musical or comedy, or limited series categories. On this week's episode, hear from Chris Perfetti, one of the stars of the ABC comedy "Abbott Elementary." Co-host Bruce Miller, who recently retired as editor of the Sioux City Journal, has been going through decades of film negatives of photographs he took of Hollywood's biggest stars and shares his thoughts on what he's uncovered.

Co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz are back for another season of Streamed & Screened, and the pair waste no time diving into some of the biggest topics. There is a bit of controversy surrounding "Song Sung Blue." "Stranger Things" comes to an end with a strong ending compared to final episodes of other big franchises like "Game of Thrones" and "Seinfeld." "Avatar: Fire and Ash" came out at the end of the 2025 and felt a lot like its predecessor, leaving us to wonder what's next for a franchise that has at least two more movies in the works. We also catch up Ginnifer Goodwin, who returns as Judy Hopps in "Zootopia 2," before discussing new programs coming for HBO including "The Pitt," two "Game of Thrones" series and the return of "Euphoria."

Send us a textJulie Raskin, representing Congenital Hyperinsulinism International (CHI), advocates for universal newborn glucose screening following her son's brain injury from undiagnosed hyperinsulinism in 1996. Registry data reveals 28% of affected infants lack traditional risk factors (abnormal birth weight), and even high-risk babies are often discharged inappropriately. CHI's "Glucose is a Vital Sign" campaign promotes screening protocols currently under research, examining glucose plus ketone monitoring during initial days to identify affected infants without over-medicalizing healthy newborns. The organization maintains eight centers of excellence globally and provides international treatment guidelines at congenitalhi.org. Over 30 genes cause this diagnosable, treatable condition requiring immediate intervention to prevent preventable brain damage from prolonged hypoglycemia.

Lung cancer is the most prevalent cancer in the Rochester and Finger Lakes region. That's according to experts at the University of Rochester Medical Center. They say screening has been underutilized due to the stigma of the disease. This hour, we discuss their efforts to change that. They also explain what they call a "soup to nuts" approach to addressing the disease, which includes prevention and screening, early diagnosis, and advanced treatment options.
