Creator Jonathan Glatzer and stars Billy Magnussen, Lucy Punch, Paul Adelstein, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, Meaghan Rath, Everett Blunck, Thailey Roberge, and Ava Marie Telek were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the series, which you can listen to below.

Continuing with the cycle theme of “Offbeat Musicals”, Julian and Madeline draw from the conception of their friendship with a joint suggestion - Leos Carax's “Annette” (2021). Joining Emilio as a first-time viewer is actor and puppeteer Kelly Autry, a friend of Madeline's since tweendom. Our two seasoned Sparks fans share their background with the musical duo, who write and compose the music for this film, and try their best to initiate those who are new to the band's unique musical style. Although many may know “Annette” as “the Adam Driver puppet musical”, the group digs into themes of originality, self-sabotage, and the nature of performance. Their opinions of the film may vary, but the group agrees that “Annette” becomes richer with a discussion among friends, and in the value of “simple stories expressed unconventionally”, in the words of past guest Shaun Seneviratne.Kelly Autry is an actor, singer, dancer, and puppeteer, who can be seen performing around New York City.

If Halt and Catch Fire was AMC's first lesson in tech, The Audacity is what happens when that world metastasizes — a look at how money, power, and ego rot the core of 2026 Silicon Valley. Billy Magnussen stars as Duncan Park, a data-mining mogul doing a tightrope walk over a cliff, dragged down by his own hubris.On the pod, we break down the sprawling ensemble (Sarah Goldberg, Meaghan Rath, Lucy Punch, Simon Helberg…), touch on plot points including blackmail, NDAs, insider trading, and Wallflowers stuck in basements... Finally, we conclude whether the show has potential or if it is just a cheap Black Mirror rip off. Tune in, and Welcome to Todays Episode!

Q&A on the AMC series The Audacity with creator/EP/writer/showrunner Jonathan Glatzer and cast Billy Magnussen, Lucy Punch, Paul Adelstein, Simon Helberg, Rob Corddry, and Meaghan Rath.

Rob Corddry makes everything he's in better. From grand Shakespearean aspirations to getting work playing all the douchebags you love to hate ("Hot Tub Time Machine", "Children's Hospital", "Ballers"), Rob is simply too funny to let Dan "The Grief Eater" Le Batard make this a downer episode.

Il y a 15 millions de fumeurs et fumeuses en France. Le tabac tue 75 000 personnes par an en France vs 3000 morts par an pour les accidents de la route. Accepteriez-vous un date (1er rdv) avec une personne qui fume ? Réfléchissez bien. Rencontre avec Olivier Milleron, auteur de "Pourquoi fumer, c'est de droite" (éditions Textuel), fort de son expérience d'ancien gros fumeur, et de cardiologue hospitalier. Il est aussi militant du service public, de Droit Au Logement, Fanfare Invisible etc. Dans cet épisode, nous évoquons la stratégie de l'industrie du tabac pour rendre ce produit toxique, malodorant, addictif, omniprésent dans la culture : cinéma, séries, musique etc. Comment cette industrie a fait croire aux femmes que fumer serait une preuve d'émancipation, de liberté, de subversion. Pourquoi et comment le peuple de gauche (et certaines personnes de droite), attaché à l'écologie et aux valeurs sociales, peut continuer à cautionner une industrie si polluante, irrespectueuse de l'environnement, et faisant travailler des enfants partout dans le monde ?Je vous invite à partager cet épisode, l'émission 28 minutes (lien ci-dessous) et à recommander le livre à toutes les personnes fumeuses autour de vous, à leur entourage, et aussi aux non-fumeurs, qui n'osent demander à un fumeur/fumeuse de s'éloigner de lui/elle, ses proches etc. Un comble ! Merci et bonne écoute ! Note avant écoute : à 18'20, Olivier Milleron dit « femmes » au lieu « d'hommes ». Simple lapsus (non révélateur), on comprend le sens de la phrase et le propos était trop intéressant pour le couper. Chères auditrices, chers auditeurs, vous corrigerez mentalement automatiquement. Si vous voulez soutenir Single Jungle, avec un don en une seule fois, j'ai ouvert un Tipeee : https://fr.tipeee.com/single-jungle. J'ai suivi le conseil d'auditrices et d'auditeurs qui ont proposé de participer à la hauteur de leurs moyens, ponctuellement, aux frais des épisodes (prise de son/montage). Merci aux premières personnes qui ont participé ! Références citées dans cet épisodesRetrouvez Olivier Milleron sur les réseaux sociauxTwitter : https://twitter.com/omilleronInstagram : https://www.instagram.com/oliviermilleron/En librairies : https://www.editionstextuel.com/livre/pourquoi_fumer_cest_de_droiteRésumé du livre :"Radiographie d'une industrie cynique et destructrice. Pourquoi le mouvement social qui dénonce les multinationales, la malbouffe et les industries polluantes ne s'attaque-t-il pas à l'industrie du tabac ? Pourquoi le blackbloc prend-il pour cible des banques ou des fast-foods mais pas les bureaux de tabac ? Pourquoi beaucoup de militants anticapitalistes et écologistes continuent à fumer ?Car fumer et financer les grandes firmes du tabac posent un problème politique : l'industrie du tabac a toujours été à la pointe dans ce qui se fait de pire dans l'histoire du capitalisme. Raconter le succès et l'histoire de l'industrie du tabac, c'est raconter le capitalisme dans ce qu'il a de plus destructeur et cynique : l'esclavage, le travail des enfants, la propagande, la stratégie du doute, la corruption des scientifiques et des politiques, la pollution, l'exploitation des paysans des pays pauvres, les tribunaux arbitraux supra-nationaux qui mettent à mal les démocraties, etc. L'industrie du tabac est, comme le capitalisme, devenue plus puissante que les États : elle nous empoisonne et nous tue à petit feu. Fumer et donc financer consciemment une telle industrie, c'est choisir son camp." TV/Vidéos "28 minutes" sur Arte, avec Elisabeth Quin, Nadia Daam https://youtu.be/dHTafSHqGV4?t=81 "Konbini" a refusé de dire à Nicolas Duvauchelle d'éviter de fumer pendant l'interview. Ils ont refusé aussi de couper les plans où il fume au montage. Donc j'ai demandé pourquoi, et le ton est monté assez vite avec ce comédien. Dommage. https://twitter.com/Louisa_A/status/1077302569670791168 Cinéma / Séries Tous les films de Claude Sautet, ça en devient grotesque, même pour les fumeurs, aujourd'hui, ça fait "sortir" mentalement du film. https://twitter.com/search?q=CLAUDE%20SAUTET%20CIGARETTE&src=typed_query Olivier Milleron cite dans l'épisode un film avec Jean-Louis Trintignant, de Claude Sautet, mais M. Trintignant n'a jamais tourné pour Claude Sautet (dédicace aux cinéphiles, qui pourront peut-être trouver d'autres films où Trintignant fume. A priori il voulait plutôt parler du film "Les choses de la vie" avec Michel Piccoli.

Pourquoi dépensent-ils/elles l'argent qu'ils n'ont pas dans le tabac en sachant les dommages sur leur santé ? Parce qu'ils/elles n'ont pas d'espoir en leur propre avenir, ils/elles se voient mourir tôt (avant 50 ans) et que c'est le seul "plaisir" qu'ils/elles peuvent s'accorder facilement. https://www.slate.fr/audio/thune/61-sortir-pauvrete-question-de-volonte-entretien-sociologue-denis-colombi "La séparation", https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/serie-la-separation Un podcast original en 7 épisodes de Sophie Simonot réalisé par Emmanuel Geoffroy et proposé par Sonia Kronlund pour Les Pieds sur terre. Dans ce podcast, on entend Manue et surtout Karim fumer à chaque épisode. Personnellement, ça me gêne. Je ne vois pas ce que ça apporte à la narration, à part montrer l'addiction mais ce n'est jamais dit clairement et ça ne me convient pas Et vous, vous remarquez ça, ça vous fait quoi ? "Tu dors ?" podcast Binge Audio, écrit par Klaire fait Grrr et diffusé dans le flux Panier Piano. Réalisation et mixage : Paul Bertiaux. Production : Juliette Livartowski. https://www.binge.audio/podcast/panier-piano/panier-pianoJ'aime beaucoup le travail de Klaire fait Grrr, podcasts, spectacles, livres, vidéos, je suis, regarde, écoute tout ce qu'elle fait avec grand plaisir et même délectation. J'ai donc voulu comprendre pourquoi à chaque épisode de "Tu dors ?", on l'entend allumer une cigarette, inhaler, recracher la fumée. Là encore ces sons m'ont fait "sortir" mentalement du podcast, ont perturbé mon écoute. Klaire m'a gentiment répondu sur Twitter : https://twitter.com/Louisa_A/status/1638144026288304130Puis j'ai eu des précisions par Joël Ronez, que je peux publier, les voici : "Il y a deux raisons principales à la présence de la clope dans les épisodes :· La principale est liée aux contraintes de la mise en scène. Afin de dynamiser le podcast il a donc fallu trouver des ressorts narratifs pour éviter d'avoir une voix nue pendant 8 minutes. On retrouve donc Klaire devant son frigo, dans sa salle de bain, chassant un moustique etc. Nous avons aussi choisi de donner du relief à sa façon de parler donc parfois Klaire mange, baille, bois ou fume. La cigarette avait l'avantage de justifier la présence de Klaire à sa fenêtre ET de lui donner une intonation nouvelle. Cette suggestion a été faite par le réalisateur, et validée par l'équipe.· Une assez banale : Klaire est une ex-fumeuse (elle vape désormais), qui comme toutes les personnes fumeuses associent les phases de gamberge à la clope. Ce paradigme est effectivement en train de tomber en désuétude avec le recul de la pratique tabagique, mais pour Klaire comme pour nous, c'est encore valide.On a pas été plus loin, ce n'est pas un choix qui a fait l'objet d'un débat symbolique ou esthétique, car c'est globalement assez secondaire dans le propos. On pourrait se poser la question de notre responsabilité dans la perpétuation de la consommation tabagique, ou de l'impact sur celleux qui essaient de s'arrêter, et ton message nous y fait penser. Dans l'ensemble, nous laissons assez peu de place à la banalisation des consommation de toxiques dans nos programmes."

The Big Bang Theory ran for 12 seasons, 279 episodes, on CBS, and continues to be a pop culture presence with its frequent re-airings on cable, permanent home on HBO Max, and its spin-off life with the CBS hit Young Sheldon. With its spot in television history firmly secured, the series was due for a comprehensive chronicle of its success, and journalist and author Jessica Radloff's New York Times bestseller The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series is just what the Big Bang fan ordered.  Radloff's coverage of The Big Bang Theory as a Senior West Coast Editor at Glamour earned her the trust of the series cast and creators, which led to this fantastic, exhaustive account. From their memories of the multiple pilots and recastings that eventually brought together the stellar ensemble cast of iconic characters to their sometimes fond, sometimes controversial and divisive decisions as friends and co-workers, stars Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik, and Melissa Rauch, as well as series creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady and showrunner Steve Molaro are among the dozens of interviewees (and hundreds of hours of interviews) Radloff crafted into this tale of on-set romance, million-dollar contract negotiations, Emmy-winning performances, and the classic moments of TV comedy that still have viewers laughing.

In many ways, "The Big Bang Theory" is what really brought nerd culture to the forefront after it became a fast breakout hit when it first debuted in 2007 A show about two scientist who enjoyed comic books, science fiction, role playing games, and so much more hadn't really gotten much love on prime time television. And certainly not as main characters depicted in such a positive light. The show pulled strong ratings throughout the entirety of its 12 season run which is no easy feat. Four years after its final episode aired we look back at the shows pilot episode and try to better understand why you couldn't walk past a single kiosk at any mall without seeing a "Bazinga" shirt.

Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from the Times of Israel. This week, we speak with Mayim Bialik, who has just released her filmmaking debut, “As They Made Us.” Most people know Bialik from her performance as neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler on “The Big Bang Theory,” from her work as a child as the title character on the sitcom “Blossom,” or lately, as the new host of "Jeopardy!"  Bialik wrote and directed “As They Made Us”," which is quite the departure from the rosy sitcom bubble. It is a tough look at tense family relations as the father's life is winding to a close. It stars Dustin Hoffman as the dying father; Candice Bergen as the overbearing mother; Simon Helberg is the estranged older brother, and Dianna Agron plays the anchor of the family, Jewish journalist Abigail. "As They Made Us" is now in theaters. IMAGE: Filmmaker Mayim Bialik. (Storm Santos) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory, Florence Foster Jenkins, As They Made Us) joins Mayim in studio to discuss the preparation he did and fears he had playing his complicated character in Mayim's new film, As They Made Us. He takes us through the darkest moments of his mental health journey, his OCD stemming from his attempts to avoid failure, and his motivation to seek professional treatment. Mayim considers the shift she witnessed in Simon's mental health on The Big Bang Theory set. They discuss their entries into the Big Bang cast, what happened once the show grew in popularity, and the mental health quirks and stereotypes of each of the characters. Simon and Mayim explain the process of finding themselves after the success of the series and what it was like for Simon to perform an impression of Stephen Hawking in front of the late physicist on the set of the show.Trailer for As They Made Us : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU-b6NoDkiU&t=0sSimon Helberg's impressions on CONAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7xQkJYwyi0BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik

Through the series, Agron's character portrayed a foray of teenage girl issues, ranging from the common to the more dramatic. From cattiness and romance drama to matters of celibacy, teen pregnancy and adoption, her character may have appeared to be the beautiful, blonde popular cheerleader but harbored a great range of complex issues. Since wrapping the show in 2015, Agron has gone on to build her resume in films, including winnder of this year's Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award winning film, Shiva Baby, and this most recently, As They Made Us, starring Agron, alongside Dustin Hoffman, Candice Bergan and Simon Helberg, and written and directed by Mayim Byalik.

Prepare your funny bone for some otherworldly ticklin', because for Episode 332, I unearthed a hidden gem of a haunted house comedy. In https://tubitv.com/movies/633149/the-selling?start=true (THE SELLING), a too-nice-for-his-own-good real estate agent is tricked into buying a house that was once owned by a long-dead serial killer. If that wasn't bad enough, the house is also EXTREMELY haunted. Can Richard defeat the ghosts, sell the house and save the day? (And is anybody gonna eat those leftover brownies???) To counteract the spectral scares, I'm adding some rugged sexuality to the mix, because my special guests are the follicularly blessed https://linktr.ee/defenderradio (MICHAEL HOWIE) ("https://linktr.ee/defenderradio (Defender Radio)") and https://www.instagram.com/cpgronlund/ (CHRISTOPHER GRONLUND )("https://www.meningorillasuits.com/podcasts/ (Men in Gorilla Suits)", "https://notaboutlumberjacks.com/ (Not About Lumberjacks)"). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1552214/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 (THE SELLING) was directed by https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1690881/?ref_=tt_ov_dr (EMILY LOU WILBUR) and stars https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0224791/?ref_=tt_ov_wr (GABRIEL DIANI), https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2468944?ref_=tt_cl_t_4 (ETTA DEVINE), https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1072449?ref_=tt_cl_t_3 (JONATHAN KLEIN), https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1661282?ref_=tt_cl_t_2 (JANET VARNEY),https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0501802?ref_=tt_cl_t_5 ( NANCY LENEHAN), https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000960?ref_=tt_cl_t_6 (BARRY BOSTWICK), https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0374865?ref_=tt_cl_t_9 (SIMON HELBERG) & https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0342881?ref_=tt_cl_t_15 (HARRY GROENER) July is GAY WRATH MONTH at the ScreamQueenz Virtual Drive-In featuring 5 movies designed to make them FEAR THE QUEERS!

"Annette" premiered earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival and is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The film has confounded audiences with its rock-musical brilliance and mad storytelling from the unique mind of Leos Carax. While a lot of praise was directed towards Carax's vision and Adam Driver's leading performance, we think Simon Helberg deserves some awards consideration for his role as The Accompanist. Simon was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work on the film, which can be listened to down below. Enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

For our second podcast review this week, Amanda Spears, Nicole Ackman, Dan Bayer, Casey Lee Clark & Will Mavity join me to discuss the highly original, divisive, wild, and bombastic operatic musical from the brilliant mind of Leos Carax, "Annette." Starring Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, Simon Helberg, and featuring music from Sparks, the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to polarizing reactions and is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, where those reactions are continuing. What did we think of it, though? Tune in below to hear us discuss the performances, songs, themes, and of course, that adorable puppet baby. Enjoy!
