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.

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.

Tubi is the latest streaming service to find its niche in original programming. After the success of "Sidelined: The QB and Me" in 2024, director Justin Wu was back at it with "Sidelined 2: Intercepted." Is a "Sidelined 3" in the works?
