Long time supporter Kent has picked the 1965 experimental film Empire for this week!. True to form in the year of the stitch-up, Kent has chosen a film that's as unconventional and divisive as it gets. Directed by Andy Warhol, Empire exemplifies the avant-garde spirit of mid-1960s New York, pushing the boundaries of traditional cinema with radical minimalism, extreme duration, and an obsessive focus on observation as art.The production of Empire was as audacious as the film's concept. Warhol employed a static 8-hour continuous shot of the Empire State Building, with no camera movement or dialogue, letting the mere passage of time become the centerpiece. Shot at Warhol's Factory studio, the production encouraged collaboration among artists and performers, embracing monotony and stillness as creative tools. Though challenging for conventional audiences, Empire has secured its place as a landmark in experimental filmmaking and continues to influence artists interested in perception, endurance, and the art of cinematic patience.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter here.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:NordVPNNordPassTrailer Guy Plot SummaryImagine… eight hours.A single frame.A building.From the legendary Andy Warhol comes the film that redefines patience, perception, and what it means to watch a movie.

David Rysdahl has been busy the past few years, but you might not have noticed if you weren't paying attention. That's not to say his roles have been forgettable — quite the opposite. Rather, Rysdahl has had impactful roles in ensemble casts, whether as chemist Donald Hornig in the blockbuster "Oppenheimer," the loving but passive husband Wayne Lyon in season 5 of "Fargo," or the uneasy scientist Arthur Sylvia in "Alien: Earth." This latest role reunites him with Noah Hawley, the creator and showrunner of both "Fargo" and "Alien: Earth." In this episode, hear from Rysdahl during an interview with co-host Bruce Miller.

In this episode, I sit down with Tom Opre — filmmaker, storyteller, and founder of the Shepherds of Wildlife Society, a nonprofit dedicated to reconnecting people and wildlife through powerful documentary films.Tom has spent his career behind the camera, capturing stories of rural areas and the people who call them home. Over the years, he's witnessed a growing disconnect between rural communities and urban audiences when it comes to conservation. His belief is simple but bold: protecting land and wildlife isn't just about “rewilding” — it's about humans actively managing resources and preserving centuries-old livelihoods so future generations can thrive.A Different Kind of StorytellingThrough the Shepherds of Wildlife Society, Tom is on a mission to tell those stories and spark honest conversations about what conservation really means.To bring this vision to life, Tom has directed three amazing, critically-acclaimed documentaries:Killing the ShepherdAn award-winning film following a small African village led by a woman chief fighting back against poaching and poverty. Screened at global festivals and even the U.S. Capitol, the film has sparked real conversations about conservation and social justice.The Last KeeperSet in the Scottish Highlands, this documentary dives into how modern government policies are displacing long-standing rural communities and threatening the Scottish landscape.The Real YellowstoneTom's newest project tells the story of the American West's ranchers, outfitters, and conservationists caught at the crossroads of tradition and modern land pressures. It's the raw, real-life version of what Taylor Sheridan dramatized in Yellowstone — as Tom says, “this is real life.”Here's the exciting part: The Real Yellowstone is hosting an exclusive digital streaming event. This event will vanish after September 15th. No replays. No second chance. Don't miss the chance to see it!Tom and I went so deep in our conversation that this is a two-part special:Part 1 (last episode): We explore Killing the Shepherd and The Last Keeper — covering everything from rural Africa's fight for survival to Scotland's historic tensions between landowners and city dwellers.Part 2 (this episode): We dive into The Real Yellowstone and talk about the sacrifices of progress, the rancher's way of life, and why these stories matter for the future of both land and wildlife.If you love filmmaking, history, conservation, or just real-world stories with real stakes — you'll want to hear this one.
"The Office" became one of the most beloved series of the early 2000s, and while Steve Carell isn't reprising his Michael Scott character, the show gets new life in a way with "The Paper." In this spinoff film, Domhnall Gleeson plays Ned Sampson, editor of the "Toledo Truth Teller." The newspaper, which is struggling, also happens to be owned by Dunder Mifflin and the show brings Oscar Nunez along to reprise his role as accountant Oscar Martinez. In this episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz discuss the new show, how it compares to the current state of journalism, and some of the classic journalism movies and shows of all time from "Lou Grant" to the unrelated movie "The Paper" to the classic films "All the Presidents Men" and "Spotlight."

Although he has largely stopped writing and recording music since 1993's "River of Dreams," Billy Joel has remained a steady force on classic rock radio (or streaming) as well as at New York's Madison Square Garden. With so many documentaries and biopics popping up in recent years, it was only a matter of time before filmmakers tackled the "Piano Man." HBO's recent two-part documentary "And So It Goes" takes viewers on a journey from his roots on Long Island through four marriages, a bad record deal, financial problems and a massive catalog of pop hits. And if that wasn't enough, there's also the story of his Jewish grandparents surviving Nazi Germany. In this episode, co-host and music fan Terry Lipshetz talks the new documentary, while co-host Bruce Miller then discusses the new drama "East of Wall" that critics have been raving about.
