"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.

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.

Have you ever wondered how differently your life might have been had you made a different decision? 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.
