"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. Also returning is the second season of the now-anthology series “Beef” with Oscar Isaac and his “Inside Llewyn Davis” co-star Carey Mulligan. We discuss these shows and more on this week’s episode.

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. Additionally, co-host Terry Lipshetz shares his thoughts on the new seasons of "For All Mankind" and "Shrinking," the new film "Project Hail Mary," and AMC's switch from the annual popcorn bucket to its new Popcorn Pass.

AppleTV+ continues to offer an alternative to the 1960s space race, had the Soviets landed on the moon first through "For All Mankind," now in its fifth season.

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. And then there is Reba McEntire, who has moved between music and television throughout her career. She's back with another season of "Happy's Place," another program that brings an ensemble to a bar setting.  In this episode, Pablo Castelblanco, who plays Steve on "Happy's Place," talks with Miller about the show and his background.

When was the last time you took a bowel cancer screening test? Recent research reveals a significant gap in participation in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, with just 24–31 per cent of people who speak a language other than English at home taking part compared to 44–47 per cent of English speakers. Dr Pallavi Sharma says early detection can save lives and calls for culturally tailored campaigns to boost participation among Hindi-speaking communities.

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

Nivola discusses playing the role and the show, and talks about his son, Sam Nivola, who starred in the most recent season of "The White Lotus."

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.

Tubi may not have the same name recognition as Netflix or Hulu, but the streamer continues to offer original content, with several recent programs targeting younger viewers. That's the case with "Kissing Is the Easy Part," an adaptation of a romance novel by Christine Duann. The film stars Paris Berelc and Asher Angel, who both chat with co-host Bruce Miller about the film. Before that, Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz chat about the Winter Olympics, which are in full swing, as well as their interactions with Olympians over the years. Miller also talks about the new miniseries "Love Story," the FX/Hulu program from Ryan Murphy that looks at the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. And finally, Lipshetz not only names off all of the "Bridgerton" characters A through H, but offers his thoughts on the latest season, which recently dropped the first half of season 4 on Netflix with the second half to come at the end of February. This season takes a Cinderella story approach with Benedict and his love interest.

"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).

What lengths will you go to maintain good looks? That's central to the plot of Ryan Murphy's new series "The Beauty" on FX and Hulu. The body horror series looks at how a treatment known as "the Beauty" is spreading as a sexually transmitted disease with unintended consequences. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller has a pair of interviews with multiple stars of "The Beauty." First, he speaks with Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope, and then he catches up with Evan Peters and Rebecca Hall. Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz then dive into the new "Game of Thrones" spinoff series, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," which takes a different approach from the original and first spinoff, "House of the Dragon." And when it comes to bringing back classics, "The Muppet Show" is coming back, as well as a fourth season of "Ted Lasso." Finally, we talk about the struggles this season for "Saturday Night Live."

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."

Rob Reiner's tragic death marks the end of a remarkable career that brought us beloved films from "This is Spinal Tap" to "Stand by Me" to "The Princess Bride" to "A Few Good Men," just to name a few. And of course, beyond filmmaking, Reiner will be remembered for his most iconic comedic role as Mike Stivic (or Meathead as father-in-law Archie Bunker called him) on "All in the Family." On this episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz discuss Reiner's legacy, including his most memorable films and appearances. Then, Miller shares an interview he had with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, stars of the new film "Song Sung Blue," which could be this year's go-to movie during the holiday season. And to wrap up, the hosts discuss some of their favorite Christmas movies of all time.

John Granger Attempts to Convince Nick (and You!) That The Hallmarked Man will be Considered the Best of the Series.We review our take-away impressions from our initial reading of The Hallmarked Man. Although we enjoyed it, especially John's incredible prediction of Robin's ectopic pregnancy, neither of us came away thinking this was the finest book in the series. For Nick, this was a surprise, as enthusiastic J. K. Rowling fan that he is other than Career of Evil every book he has read has been his favourite. Using an innovative analysis of the character pairs surrounding both Cormoran and Robin, John argues that we can't really appreciate the artistry of book number eight until we consider its place in the series. Join John and Nick as they review the mysteries that remain to be resolved and how The Hallmarked Man sets readers up for shocking reveals in Strike 9 and 10!Why Troubled Blood is the Best Strike Novel:* The Pillar Post Collection of Troubled Blood Posts at HogwartsProfessor by John Granger, Elizabeth Baird-Hardy, Louise Freeman, Beatrice Groves, and Nick JefferyTroubled Blood and Faerie Queene: The Kanreki ConversationBut What If We Judge Strike Novels by a Different Standard than Shed Artifice? What About Setting Up the ‘Biggest Twist' in Detective Fiction History?* If Rowling is to be judged by the ‘shock' of the reveals in Strike 10, then The Hallmarked Man, the most disappointing book in the series even to many Serious Strikers, will almost certainly be remembered as the book that set up the finale with the greatest technical misdirection while playing fair.* The ending must be a shock, one that readers do not see coming, BUT* The author must provide the necessary clues and pointers repeatedly and emphatically lest the reader feel cheated at the point of revelation.* If the Big Mysteries of the series are to be solved with the necessary shock per both Russian Formalist and Perennialist understanding, then the answers to be revealed in the final two Strike novels, Books Two and Three of the finale trilogy, should be embedded in The Hallmarked Man.* Rowling on Playing Fair with Readers:The writer says that she wanted to extend the shelf of detective fiction without breaking it. “Part of the appeal and fascination of the genre is that it has clear rules. I'm intrigued by those rules and I like playing with them. Your detective should always lay out the information fairly for the reader, but he will always be ahead of the game. In terms of creating a character, I think Cormoran Strike conforms to certain universal rules but he is very much of this time.* On the Virtue of ‘Penetration' in Austen, Dickens, and Rowling* Rowling on the Big Twist' in Austen's Emma:“I have never set up a surprise ending in a Harry Potter book without knowing I can never, and will never, do it anywhere near as well as Austen did in Emma.”What are the Key Mysteries of the Strike series?Nancarrow FamilyWhy did Leda and Ted leave home in Cornwall as they did?Why did Ted and Joan not “save” Strike and Lucy?Was Leda murdered or did she commit suicide?If she was murdered, who dunit?If she commited suicide, why did she do it?What happened to Switch Whittaker?Cormoran StrikeIs Jonny Rokeby his biological father?What SIB case was he investigating when he was blown up?Was he the father of Charlotte's lost baby? If not, then who was?Why has he been so unstable in his relations with women post Charlotte Campbell?Charlotte CampbellWhy did her mother hate her so much?What was her relationship with her three step-fathers? Especially Dino LongcasterWho was the father of her lost child?Was the child intentionally aborted or was it a miscarriage?What was written in her “suicide note”?Was Charlotte murdered or did she commit suicide?If she was murdered, who done it?If she committed suicide, why did she do it?What happened to the billionaire lover?What clues do we get in Hallmarked Man that would answer these questions?- Strike 8 - Greatest Hits of Strikes 1-7: compilation, concentration of perumbration in series as whole* Decima/Lion - incest* Rupert's biological father not his father of record (Dino)* Sacha Legard a liar with secrets* Ryan Murphy working a plan off-stage - Charlotte's long gameStrike about ‘Pairings' in Lethal WhiteStrike continued to pore over the list of names as though he might suddenly see something emerging out of his dense, spiky handwriting, the way unfocused eyes may spot the 3D image hidden in a series of brightly colored dots. All that occurred to him, however, was the fact that there was an unusual number of pairs connected to Chiswell's death: couples—Geraint and Della, Jimmy and Flick; pairs of full siblings—Izzy and Fizzy, Jimmy and Billy; the duo of blackmailing collaborators—Jimmy and Geraint; and the subsets of each blackmailer and his deputy—Flick and Aamir. There was even the quasi-parental pairing of Della and Aamir. This left two people who formed a pair in being isolated within the otherwise close-knit family: the widowed Kinvara and Raphael, the unsatisfactory, outsider son.Strike tapped his pen unconsciously against the notebook, thinking. Pairs. The whole business had begun with a pair of crimes: Chiswell's blackmail and Billy's allegation of infanticide. He had been trying to find the connection between them from the start, unable to believe that they could be entirely separate cases, even if on the face of it their only link was in the blood tie between the Knight brothers.Part Two, Chapter 52Key Relationship Pairings in Cormoran Strike:Who Killed Leda Strike?To Rowling-Galbraith's credit, credible arguments in dedicated posts have been made that every person in the list below was the one who murdered Leda Strike. Who do you think did it?* Jonny Rokeby and the Harringay Crime Syndicate (Heroin Dark Lord 2.0),* Ted Nancarrow (Uncle Ted Did It),* Dave Polworth,* Leda Strike (!),* Lucy Fantoni (Lucy and Joan Did It and here),* Sir Randolph Whittaker,* Nick Herbert,* Peter Gillespie, and* Charlotte Campbell-RossScripted Ten Questions:1. So, Nick, back when we first read Hallmarked Man we said that there were four things we knew for sure would be said about Strike 8 in the future. Do you remember what they were?2. And, John, you've been thinking about the ‘Set-Up' idea and how future Rowling Readers will think of Hallmarked Man, even that they will think of it as the best Strike novel. I thought that was Troubled Blood by consensus. What's made you change your mind?3. So, Nick, yes, Troubled Blood I suspect will be ranked as the best of series, even best book written by Rowling ever, but, if looked at as the book that served the most critical place in setting up the finale, I think Hallmarked Man has to be considered better in that crucial way than Strike 5, better than any Strike novel. Can you think of another Strike mystery that reviews specific plot points and raises new aspects of characters and relationships the way Strike 8 does?4. Are you giving Hallmarked Man a specific function with respect to the last three books than any of the others? If so, John, what is that exactly and what evidence do we have that in Rowling's comments about reader-writer obligations and writer ambitions?5. Nick, I think Hallmarked Man sets us up to answer the Key mysteries that remain, that the first seven books left for the final three to answer. I'm going to organize those unresolved questions into three groups and challenge you to think of the ones I'm missing, especially if I'm missing a category.6. If I understand the intention of your listing these remaining questions, John, your saying that the restatement of specific plot points and characters from the first seven Strike novels in Hallmarked Man points to the possible, even probable answers to those questions. What specifically are the hallmarks in this respect of Hallmarked Man?7. If you take those four points, Nick, and revisit the mysteries lists in three categories, do you see how Rowling hits a fairness point with respect to clueing readers into what will no doubt be shocking answers to them if they're not looking for the set-ups?8. That's fun, Nick, but there's another way at reaching the same conclusions, namely, charting the key relationships of Strike and Ellacott to the key family, friends, and foes in their lives and how they run in pairs or parallel couplets (cue PPoint slides).9. Can we review incest and violence against or trafficking of young women in the Strike series? Are those the underpinning of the majority of the mysteries that remain in the books?10. Many Serious Strikers and Gonzo Galbraithians hated Striuke 8 because Hallmarked Man failed to meet expectations. In conclusion, do you think, Nick, that this argument that the most recent Strike-Ellacott adventure is the best because of how it sets us up for the wild finish to come will be persuasive -- or just annoying?On Imagination as Transpersonal Faculty and Non-Liturgical Sacred ArtThe Neo-Iconoclasm of Film (and Other Screened Adaptations): Justin requested within his question for an expansion of my allusion to story adaptations into screened media as a “neo-iconoclasm.” I can do that here briefly in two parts. First, by urging you to read my review of the first Hunger Games movie adaptation, ‘Gamesmakers Hijack Story: Capitol Wins Again,' in which I discussed at post's end how ‘Watching Movies is a a Near Sure Means to Being Hijacked by Movie Makers.' In that, I explain via an excerpt from Jerry Mander's Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, the soul corrosive effects of screened images.Second, here is a brief introduction to the substance of the book I am working on.Rowling is a woman of profound contradictions. On the one hand, like all of us she is the walking incarnation of her Freudian family romance per Paglia, the ideas and blindspots of the age in which we live, with the peculiar individual prejudices and preferences and politics of her upbringing, education, and life experiences, especially the experiences we can call crises and consequent core beliefs, aversions, and desires. Rowling acknowledges all this, and, due to her CBT exercises and one assumes further talking therapy, she is more conscious of the elephant she is riding and pretending to steer than most of her readers.She points to this both in asides she make in her tweets and public comments but also in her descriptive metaphor of how she writes. The ‘Lake' of that metaphor, the alocal place within her from her story ideas and inspiration spring, is her “muse,” the word for superconscious rather than subconscious ideas that she used in her 2007 de la Cruz interview. She consciously recognizes that, despite her deliberate reflection on her PTSD, daddy drama, and idiosyncratic likes and dislikes, she still has unresolved issues that her non-conscious mind presents to her as story conflict for imaginative resolution.Her Lake is her persona well, the depths of her individual identity and a mask she wears.The Shed, in contrast, is the metaphorical place where Rowling takes the “stuff” given her by the creature in her Lake, the blobs of molten glass inspiration, to work it into proper story. The tools in this Shed are unusual, to say the least, and are the great markers of what makes Rowling unique among contemporary writers and a departure from, close to a contradiction of the artist you would expect to be born of her life experiences, formative crises, and education.Out of a cauldron potion made from listening to the Smiths, Siouxie and the Banshees, and The Clash, reading and loving Val McDermid, Roddy Doyle, and Jessica Mitford, and surviving a lower middle class upbringing with an emotionally barren homelife and Comprehensive education on the England-Wales border, you'd expect a Voldemort figure at Goblet of Fire's climax to rise rather than a writer who weaves archetypally rich myths of the soul's journey to perfection in the spirit with alchemical coloring and sequences, ornate chiastic structures, and a bevy of symbols visible only to the eye of the Heart.To understand Rowling, as she all but says in her Lake and Shed metaphor, one has to know her life story and experiences to “get” from where her inspiration bubbles up and, as important, you need a strong grasp of the traditionalist worldview and place of literature in it to appreciate the power of the tools she uses, especially how she uses them in combination.The biggest part of that is understanding the Perennialist definition of “Sacred Art.” I touched on this in a post about Rowling's beloved Christmas story, ‘Dante, Sacred Art, and The Christmas Pig.'Rowling has been publicly modest about the aims of her work, allowing that it would be nice to think that readers will be more empathetic after reading her imaginative fiction. Dante was anything but modest or secretive in sharing his self-understanding in the letter he wrote to Cangrande about The Divine Comedy: “The purpose of the whole work is to remove those living in this life from the state of wretchedness and to lead them to the state of blessedness.” His aim, point blank, was to create a work of sacred art, a category of writing and experience that largely exists outside our understanding as profane postmoderns, but, given Rowling's esoteric artistry and clear debts to Dante, deserves serious consideration as what she is writing as well.Sacred art, in brief, is representational work — painting, statuary, liturgical vessels and instruments, and the folk art of theocentric cultures in which even cutlery and furniture are means to reflection and transcendence of the world — that employ revealed forms and symbols to bring the noetic faculty or heart into contact with the supra-sensible realities each depicts. It is not synonymous with religious art; most of the art today that has a religious subject is naturalist and sentimental rather than noetic and iconographic, which is to say, contemporary artists imitate the creation of God as perceived by human senses rather than the operation of God in creation or, worse, create abstractions of their own internally or infernally generated ideas.Story as sacred art, in black to white contrast, is edifying literature and drama in which the soul's journey to spiritual perfection is portrayed for the reader or the audience's participation within for transformation from wretchedness to blessedness, as Dante said. As with the plastic arts, these stories employ traditional symbols of the revealed traditions in conformity with their understanding of cosmology, soteriology, and spiritual anthropology. The myths and folklore of the world's various traditions, ancient Greek drama, the epic poetry of Greece, Rome, and Medieval Europe, the parables of Christ, the plays of Shakespeare's later period, and the English high fantasy tradition from Coleridge to the Inklings speak this same symbolic language and relay the psychomachia experience of the human victory over death.Dante is a sacred artist of this type. As difficult as it may be to understand Rowling as a writer akin to Dante, Shakespeare, Homer, Virgil, Aeschylus, Spenser, Lewis, and Tolkien, her deployment of traditional symbolism and the success she enjoys almost uniquely in engaging and edifying readers of all ages, beliefs, and circumstances suggests this is the best way of understanding her work. Christmas Pig is the most obviously sacred art piece that Rowling has created to date. It is the marriage of Dantean depths and the Estecean lightness of Lewis Carroll's Alice books, about which more later.[For an introduction to reading poems, plays, and stories as sacred art, that is, allegorical depictions of the soul's journey to spiritual perfection that are rich in traditional symbolism, Ray Livingston's The Traditional Theory of Literature is the only book length text in print. Kenneth Oldmeadow's ‘Symbolism and Sacred Art' in his Traditionalism: Religion in the light of the Perennial Philosophy(102-113), ‘Traditional Art' in The Essential Seyyed Hossein Nasr(203-214), and ‘The Christian and Oriental, or True Philosophy of Art' in The Essential Ananda K. Coomaraswamy(123-152) explain in depth the distinctions between sacred and religious, natural, and humanist art. Martin Lings' The Sacred Art of Shakespeare: To Take Upon Us the Mystery of Things and Jennifer Doane Upton's two books on The Divine Comedy, Dark Way to Paradise and The Ordeal of Mercy are the best examples I know of reading specific works of literature as sacred art rather than as ‘stories with symbolic meaning' read through a profane and analytic lens.]‘Profane Art' from this view is “art for art's sake,” an expression of individual genius and subjective meaning that is more or less powerful. The Perennialist concern with art is less about gauging an artist's success in expressing his or her perception or its audience's response than with its conformity to traditional rules and its utility, both in the sense of practical everyday use and in being a means by which to be more human. Insofar as a work of art is good with respect to this conformity and edifying utility, it is “sacred art;” so much as it fails, it is “profane.” The best of modern art, even that with religious subject matter or superficially beautiful and in that respect edifying, is from this view necessarily profane.Sacred art differs from modern and postmodern conceptions of art most specifically, though, in what it is representing. Sacred art is not representing the natural world as the senses perceive it or abstractions of what the individual and subjective mind “sees,” but is an imitation of the Divine art of creation. The artist “therefore imitates nature not in its external forms but in its manner of operation as asserted so categorically by St. Thomas Aquinas [who] insists that the artist must not imitate nature but must be accomplished in ‘imitating nature in her manner of operation'” (Nasr 2007, 206, cf. “Art is the imitation of Nature in her manner of operation: Art is the principle of manufacture” (Summa Theologia Q. 117, a. I). Schuon described naturalist art which imitates God's creation in nature by faithful depiction of it, consequently, as “clearly luciferian.” “Man must imitate the creative act, not the thing created,” Aquinas' “manner of operation” rather than God's operation manifested in created things in order to produce ‘creations'which are not would-be duplications of those of God, but rather a reflection of them according to a real analogy, revealing the transcendental aspect of things; and this revelation is the only sufficient reason of art, apart from any practical uses such and such objects may serve. There is here a metaphysical inversion of relation [the inverse analogy connecting the principial and manifested orders in consequence of which the highest realities are manifested in their remotest reflections[1]]: for God, His creature is a reflection or an ‘exteriorized' aspect of Himself; for the artist, on the contrary, the work is a reflection of an inner reality of which he himself is only an outward aspect; God creates His own image, while man, so to speak, fashions his own essence, at least symbolically. On the principial plane, the inner manifests the outer, but on the manifested plane, the outer fashions the inner (Schuon 1953, 81, 96).The traditional artist, then, in imitation of God's “exteriorizing” His interior Logos in the manifested space-time plane, that is, nature, instead of depicting imitations of nature in his craft, submits to creating within the revealed forms of his craft, which forms qua intellections correspond to his inner essence or logos.[2] The work produced in imitation of God's “manner of operation” then resembles the symbolic or iconographic quality of everything existent in being a transparency whose allegorical and anagogical content within its traditional forms is relatively easy to access and a consequent support and edifying shock-reminder to man on his spiritual journey. The spiritual function of art is that “it exteriorizes truths and beauties in view of our interiorization… or simply, so that the human soul might, through given phenomena, make contact with the heavenly archetypes, and thereby with its own archetype” (Schuon 1995a, 45-46).Rowling in her novels, crafted with tools all taken from the chest of a traditional Sacred Artist, is writing non-liturgical Sacred Art. Films and all the story experiences derived of adaptations of imaginative literature to screened images, are by necessity Profane Art, which is to say per the meaning of “profane,” outside the temple or not edifying spiritually. Film making is the depiction of how human beings encounter the time-space world through the senses, not an imitation of how God creates and a depiction of the spiritual aspect of the world, a liminal point of entry to its spiritual dimension. Whence my describing it as a “neo-iconoclasm.”The original iconoclasts or “icon bashers” were believers who treasured sacred art but did not believe it could use images of what is divine without necessarily being blasphemous; after the incarnation of God as Man, this was no longer true, but traditional Christian iconography is anything but naturalistic. It could not be without becoming subjective and profane rather than being a means to spiritual growth and encounters. Western religious art from the Renaissance and Reformation forward, however, embraces profane imitation of the sense perceived world, which is to say naturalistic and as such the antithesis of sacred art. Film making, on religious and non-religious subjects, is the apogee of this profane art which is a denial of any and all of the parameters of Sacred art per Aquinas, traditional civilizations, and the Perennialists.It is a neo-iconoclasm and a much more pervasive and successful destruction of the traditional world-view, so much so that to even point out the profanity inherent to film making is to insure dismissal as some kind of “fundamentalist,” “Puritan,” or “religious fanatic.”Screened images, then, are a type of iconoclasm, albeit the inverse and much more subtle kind than the relatively traditional and theocentric denial of sacred images (the iconoclasm still prevalent in certain Reform Church cults, Judaism, and Islam). This neo-iconoclasm of moving pictures depicts everything in realistic, life-like images, everything, that is, except the sacred which cannot be depicted as we see and experience things. This exclusion of the sacred turns upside down the anti-naturalistic depictions of sacred persons and events in iconography and sacred art. The effect of this flood of natural pictures akin to what we see with our eyes is to compel the flooded mind to accept time and space created nature as the ‘most real,' even ‘the only real.' The sacred, by never being depicted in conformity with accepted supernatural forms, is effectively denied.Few of us spend much time in live drama theaters today. Everyone watches screened images on cineplex screens, home computers, and smart phones. And we are all, consequently, iconoclasts and de facto agnostics, I'm afraid, to greater and lesser degrees because of this immersion and repetitive learning from the predominant art of our secular culture and its implicit atheism.Contrast that with the imaginative experience of a novel that is not pornographic or primarily a vehicle of perversion and violence. We are obliged to generate images of the story in the transpersonal faculty within each of us called the imagination, one I think that is very much akin to conscience or the biblical ‘heart.' This is in essence an edifying exercise, unlike viewing photographic images on screens. That the novel appears at the dawn of the Modern Age and the beginning of the end of Western corporate spirituality, I think is no accident but a providential advent. Moving pictures, the de facto regime artistry of the materialist civilization in which we live, are the counter-blow to the novel's spiritual oxygen.That's the best I can manage tonight to offer something to Justin in response to more about the “neo-iconoclasm” of film This is a public episode.

What stories do the 2026 Golden Globe nominations tell? "Wicked: For Good" couldn't get a nomination for best motion picture-musical or comedy. Timothée Chalamet might be an Oscar favorite for his performance in "Marty Supreme." Rose Byrne could be someone to watch for best actress thanks to a strong effort in "If I Had Leg's I'd Kick You." Jeremy Allen White probably won't win a pair of best actor awards, but he did score nominations for his film portrayal of Bruce Springsteen as well as his series "The Bear." Regardless of what happens, we did get a bit of a sneak preview into what might get love when Oscar nominations come on Jan. 22. We also discuss season 2 of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" on Disney+. Bruce Miller has multiple interviews with the stars, including Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Dior Goodjohn (Clarisse La Rue), Charlie Bushnell (Luke Castellan), Daniel Diemer (Tyson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood).

Studios love to hold movies back until the end of the year to sneak into awards conversations. "Song Sung Blue" with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with "Marty Supreme" starring Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, are among the films trying to catch the attention of critics. Another film that hits a similar chord is "Sentimental Value," the latest film from Joachim Trier starring Renate Reinsve, Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller catches up with Trier about the film and his overall style that allows his films to "say enough, but not too much." We also talk about the first batch of episodes of "Stranger Things," which released the first half of its season in time for the Thanksgiving break. Co-host Terry Lipshetz watched the episodes with his family and shares his thoughts about the final run.

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.
