Podcast appearances and mentions of Ryan Gosling

Welcome back to your favorite daily comedy show, where the financial advice is questionable, the celebrity gossip is unhinged, and the emotional family mediation somehow happens between Metallica announcements and Eddie Murphy deep cuts.Today's chaos kicks off with a simple hypothetical: take $10 million right now… but you lose the last 10 years of your life. Easy money? Or are you giving up prime bingo years, fabric store friendships, and threatening-your-kids-with-the-will energy? Lern says “cut the check.” The rest of us spiral.We roll through “Back in the Day,” celebrating everything from the 15th Amendment to Bruce Springsteen's first Grammy win, while somehow detouring into Stranger Things soundtrack confusion and Tina Turner impressions that should probably stay off Broadway.Then it's full-blown Crap On Celebrities:Metallica officially heads to the Sphere in Vegas.The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame fan vote is already getting spicy.The Breaking Bad house in Albuquerque sells for HOW MUCH?!Christina Applegate shares an emotional health update.Bill Gates says “my bad” in the most billionaire way possible.Amanda Seyfried reveals she wore a prosthetic… yes… that… in a new film.AMC is gatekeeping the good movie seats like it's VIP bottle service.Oh—and we deep dive into actors who tried music careers. Bradley Cooper. Ryan Gosling. Jennifer Lawrence. And of course, the undisputed king of Spotify Wrapped heartbreak, Patrick Swayze. “She's Like the Wind” makes its monthly appearance and honestly? We're not mad about it.We wrap things up with a real-life family dilemma involving jealousy, step-parenting, prison dads, and co-signing car loans. It's heartfelt. It's messy. It's exactly what happens when a daily comedy show accidentally stumbles into group therapy.If you came for weird news, hilarious fails, entertainment gossip, and sarcastic St. Louis humor… congratulations. You found your people.This episode of The Rizzuto Show is your reminder that life is fragile, Metallica tickets will bankrupt you, and sometimes the biggest argument of the morning is about whether anyone truly needed to see an 18th-century prosthetic B-hole.Welcome to the daily comedy show that makes your commute significantly weirder.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In today's Daily Fix:Star Wars returns to the big screen in May with The Mandalorian and Grogu, but according to Variety, Lucasfilm is having doubts the movie will be as successful as the mainline series of films. This comes after a teaser that ran during the Super Bowl apparently failed to generate much hype for the movie. However, the company is more confident in next year's Star Wars film, Starfighter, from director Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling. In other news, PlayStation Plus games for March have been confirmed, with PGA Tour 2K25 and Monster Hunter Rise leading the pack. And take a peek at the five immersive worlds of the all-new Universal Epic Universe, and one of its featured attractions – Stardust Racers, all at Universal Orlando Resort.

After a short catch up between the hosts and Caitlin's Olympic coverage in The Scroll, Jann Arden welcomes special guests Meredith McNeil and Jennifer Whalen of CBC's Small Achievable Goals.  They share their experiences with menopause and how they factored into the creation of their show. They compare stories that address the challenges of menopause and explore the cultural shifts surrounding women's voices and health discussions. They also discuss te impact of shame on their experiences, the current flourishing state of Canadian television, and the impact of Catherine O'Hara's legacy. Season two of Small Achievable Goals follows Julie Muldoon (Jennifer Whalen) and Kris Fine (Meredith MacNeill), two very different women navigating friendship and the hormonal hurricane of menopause while trying to keep their new podcast and their sanity intact. Life as the Podcast Folks have known it is upheaved under the ownership of Amanda King (Tamara Podemski) and the company culture of Queen of Kings. What started as a dream job for Kris and Julie quickly becomes a nightmare as they struggle to make an honest, raw and real show about menopause while attempting to navigate the change themselves. Jennifer Whalen is a writer, actor, improviser, and Showrunner. She is co-creator, writer and star of the comedy series Small Achievable Goals (CBC). She is also one fourth of Baroness von Sketch Show, as a co-creator, writer, star and showrunner of seasons four and five.  Jennifer was head writer for the award-winning satirical comedy This Hour Has 22 Minutes. She developed long-running shows Little Mosque On the Prairie (CBC/Mind's Eye) and Instant Star (CTV/Epitome). She has also worked on The Ron James Show (CBC), The Jon Dore Show (Comedy Network/IFC), and the critically acclaimed Gavin Crawford Show (Comedy Network/Shaftesbury). She originated the role of the Aviatrix in the Tony Award Winning Musical Drowsy Chaperone. She enjoys video games and is easily startled. Meredith MacNeill is a Canadian showrunner, producer, writer, and actress. She is most known for creating and starring in the critically acclaimed series Baroness Von Sketch Show, which was named one of The 10 Best Sketch-Comedy Shows to Stream by Vanity Fair. VOGUE Magazine said, "Baroness Von Sketch Show is the best thing to come out of Canada since Ryan Gosling." Throughout the seasons on CBC and IFC, the show received multiple Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Sketch Comedy Show & Ensemble Performance, an ACTRA Award and a Canadian Comedy Award. Meredith recently wrapped Season 2 of her hit comedy series Small Achievable Goals for the CBC, which she co-created, co-showruns, and co-stars with fellow Baroness alum Jennifer Whalen.  As an actress, Meredith also starred in the CBC series Pretty Hard Cases which earned her multiple Canadian Screen Award nominations. She voices the role of Harper Cutlass in the upcoming feature Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie. Previously she was both a writer and regular cast member in the hit satirical news program This Hour Has 22 Minutes for the CBC.  https://gem.cbc.ca/small-achievable-goals #ASKJANN - want some life advice from Jann?

This week we watched the 2004 romantic drama film The Notebook. Directed by Nick Cassavetes, from a screenplay by Jeremy Leven and Jan Sardi, and based on the 1996 novel by Nicholas Sparks. The film stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as a young couple who fall in love in the 1940s. Their story is read from a notebook in the modern day by an elderly man telling the tale to a fellow nursing home resident. Come join us!!

KPFA Theatre Critic Richard Wolinsky reviews the national touring company of “The Notebook, the Musical” at ATG Orpheum Theatre through March 1, 2025.       TEXT OF REVIEW Towards the end of the twentieth century, as the corporate world eyed the record-breaking receipts of shows like Cats and Les Miz, it became clear that if you could turn any IP, intellectual property, into a musical, a new stream of profits would come a-calling. Its also true that producers have always been searching for properties that might sing, and often it's a labor of love. So is “The Notebook: The Musical”, now in a national tour at the Orpheum theatre through March 1st  a labor of love, or just another brand name for Broadway's corporate class to exploit for profit? Based on the weepy best-seller by Nicholas Sparks and the 2004 film with Ryan Gosling and Gena Rowlands, among others, The Notebook on Broadway presented theatregoers with a free box of tissues at each performance. The show received mixed reviews and closed after nine months, in December, 2024, before embarking on this tour, hoping to make back its investment. Noah Calhoun, an older man, is in a nursing home visiting his wife, Allie, whose memory has been ripped out of her by Alzneimers. The only way to get her to remember is by reading his notebook diary of their life together. She had promised him, at the time of her diagnosis, that if he does that, she'll come back to him. So we embark on their love story, as two couples play Noah and Allie at seventeen and again at twenty seven, while old Noah reads to old Allie. But back to the weepie business. Much of  the show is saccharine and manipulative, particularly in the flashbacks focusing on parental meddling and class distinctions. And if Allie only focused on the songs, she'd never get her memory back. But there is much more going on here, and inside The Notebook: The Musical is a much better show than the producers were able to promote. It's a show about loss, loss of memory, loss of mobility, loss of health. In that sense, the creators have focused on musical theatre as metaphor, with body movement and dance and snippets of dialogue and song representing the swirl going on in Allie's mind as she attempts to find meaning inside the chaos. Along that path, the strongest elements are the performances of Beau Gravitte and Sharon Catherine Brown, who shine in their scenes, and take the show into places other musicals haven't attempted, and why ultimately, The Notebook works far better than it should. The Notebook: The Musical plays at San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre through March 1st. For more information you can go to broadwaysf.com, which takes you to an agttickets site.

Patrick and Ted kick things off with a bit of managerial madness. Tottenham Hotspur turn to Igor Tudor in the middle of a relegation battle, while Nottingham Forest move on from Dyche. Are Spurs actually a Champions League-level squad? Is this dysfunction structural? And what do the underlying numbers really say about Forest's performances? From there, it's all about the Champions League playoffs: • Benfica vs Real Madrid: vibes vs tactics, deep blocks, and whether Madrid are quietly stabilising • Borussia Dortmund vs Atalanta BC: chaos merchants collide • Club Brugge vs Atlético Madrid: Simeone volatility and Brugge upset potential • Galatasaray vs Juventus: Turkey away nights and Juve's quiet resurgence • Olympiacos vs Bayer Leverkusen: Bundesliga instability meets Greek knockout pedigree • AS Monaco vs Paris Saint-Germain: are PSG ominously clicking again? They also dig into how to think about betting edges in volatile leagues, when not to gamble, and who the real Champions League favourite is right now. Enjoy!

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, Brandon and Stoney saw it fit to relive one of their favorite rom-coms of all time - the smartly written, brilliantly acted, funny, and heartfelt Crazy, Stupid, Love. 

Clownvis rolled into the studio looking like Elvis' chaotic cousin and immediately turned our funny morning show into a full circus (in the best way). He's performing love songs at City Museum tonight, King Scott (who's middle name is Danger) is still rocking the Austin Powers punishment outfit thanks to a Super Bowl bet gone wrong, and somehow we spiraled into Insane Clown Posse Christmas shows, Bozo the Clown lore, and Nickelback rock-throwing incidents. Just a normal day for this comedy show, obviously.But wait — we also dove into AI creating a fake Brad Pitt vs. Tom Cruise fight scene that looks WAY too real. Is Hollywood cooked? Are writers panicking? Is Scott's Austin Powers outfit technically AI at this point? Plus: Ryan Gosling hosting SNL, Kid Rock fighting ticket scalpers, Galentine's Day movie rankings, Peter Gabriel birthday jams, and the most chaotic “Crap On Celebrities” you've heard all week.If you like your daily podcast packed with weird news, pop culture chaos, and just enough sarcasm to question your life choices, congrats — you found your people.Subscribe for more clips from your favorite funny show, and don't forget to hit that bell so you never miss the daily nonsense.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today on the Marilyn Denis Show we talked about working out and the Backstreet Boys, potentially doing the halftime show in the next Superbowl. We discussed Harry Styles potential return to Toronto alongside Ryan Gosling coming back as a host on SNL. Lastly, we discussed the GoFundMe for the Vanderbilt family.

Og hvad hvis historien primært bliver fortalt af rumskibets AI – en ældre model der konstant bekymrer sig om sin “efficiency percentage” og ikke rigtig forstår mennesker? Det er præmissen i Barbara Trueloves Of Monsters and Mainframes, en science fiction-gyser der blander klassiske monstre med AI-humor og en god portion intertekstuelle referencer. Om Barbara Truelove Barbara Truelove er australsk forfatter og game designer, og hun har åbenlyst en ting med varulve. Hendes første roman Crying Wolf (2021) handlede om tvillinger der opdager de er varulve. I 2023 lavede hun det interaktive tekstspil Blood Moon, hvor plotlinjen er: “Du er en varulv.” Og så kom Of Monsters and Mainframes i 2025. Hun fortæller selv at inspirationen kom fra at læse Bram Stokers Dracula og Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries samtidigt. Men sandheden er mere rodet end det: “Dracula er en del af blandingen, ja, og det samme er Murderbot, men det samme er Universal Monsters, autopiloten i en Airbus, R2D2, min erfaring med at programmere interaktive spil og (måske mest af alt) mit liv i 2022.” Bogen blev nomineret til Goodreads Choice Award i kategorien Science Fiction og har over 9.000 ratings med gennemsnit på 4,09. Demeter – rumfærgen der ikke forstår mennesker Vores “hovedperson” er Demeter. Demeter er ikke en alvidende HAL-AI. Hun er primært bygget til at styre rumfærgen sikkert mellem stjernerne. Hun kan navigere uden om kometer og håndtere tekniske kriser. Men mennesker? Det er en helt anden sag. Når varulv-angrebet rammer og børnene Agnus og Isaac flygter op på broen efter deres bedstemor har forvandlet sig, går kommunikationen ikke så godt. “It’s just a dumb AI, Isaac,” siger Agnus. Demeter reagerer prompte: “I am not lacking intelligence. You are using words marked as moderately offensive. This is antisocial behavior.” Børnene bliver stille. “I am Demeter. I am the ship. I am your friend. Report your injuries.” De begynder at lave lyde i lavt volumen. Demeters systemer kan ikke oversætte det. “How’s it going?” spørger Steward, den medicinske AI. “I wish I could lie,” svarer Demeter. “Humans are hard.” Det er denne kamp med at forstå mennesker – og begrænsningerne i hendes algoritmer – der gør Demeter interessant. Hun er dybt inkompetent til menneskelig interaktion, og det meste af tiden prøver hun bare at undgå at forholde sig til sine passagerer. Bedstemoderen med de store tænder Et af bogens bedre øjeblikke er varulv-scenen. Børnenes bedstemor forvandler sig ved et uheld, og pludselig står Demeter i en desperat kamp for at redde Agnus og Isaac. Hun får varulven lokket ind i en luftsluse. Men så forvandler den sig tilbage til bedstemor – desperat, menneskelig, helt forsvarsløs. Demeter er bundet af den første robotlov (Asimov): ingen AI må skade et menneske. Men der er et kort øjeblik hvor bedstemoderen bliver til skygge – i overgangen mellem former. I præcis det øjeblik reagerer Demeter prompte og åbner luftslussen. Bogen lader det ligge i det uvisse om bedstemoderen selv også trykker på knappen. Det er et af de øjeblikke hvor Demeter teknisk set handler inden for sine regler – men samtidig… ja, du ved. Steward overtager – og tror det er nemt Da Demeter er lukket ned, og rumfærgen skal tilbage til Jorden, bliver opgaver overladt til Steward. Den medicinske AI beslutter sig for at overtage styringen af rumskibet. Hvor svært kan det være? “You know what? Being an autopilot isn’t all that hard. I don’t know why Demeter seemed so stressed all the time. It’s day one of our journey, and we haven’t crashed yet.” Der var dog en lille bump ved afgang. Men det var ikke Stewards skyld. Dokken bevægede sig. I hvert fald tror Steward det. “I don’t exactly speak exterior sensor. They seem very alarmed all the time, constantly screaming in a strange, disjointed dialect of JavaScript.” Stewards plan? “Embrace my managerial role and endeavor to do as little as possible. The subsystems will sort it out.” Det er morsomt at følge Stewards overmodige forsøg på at være kaptajn. Som de fleste læger tror Steward de kan lidt af det hele. En leg med referencer – men måske for fragmenteret Barbara Truelove har åbenlyst haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive den her bog. Hun fortæller selv at reglerne var: smid et monster ombord, prøv at få så mange jokes og referencer til monsterets populærkulturelle historie ind som muligt, og tænk over hvordan det ville fungere i rummet. Der er masser af sjove detaljer. Skibet der transporterer Dracula til London i Bram Stokers bog hedder også Demeter. Wilhelmina Murray er Jonathan Harkers forlovede i Dracula. I bogens fem dele er der binær kode der oversættes til små jokes som “Artificial is the best kind of intelligent” og “I have never seen electric sheep.” Det er meget hyggeligt. Men det er også lidt som om bogen ikke helt selv ved hvor den er på vej hen. Anders beskriver det som om Barbara har skrevet 121 scener med monstre og rum-AI, blandet kortene, og så forsøgt at strikke en rød tråd på den måde stykkerne landede. Den fornemmelse er der lidt af. Action-scenerne er heller ikke bogens styrke. De er lidt svære at følge med i – hvem gør hvad, hvornår, hvorhenne og hvorfor. Det føles som dårlige Marvel-action-scener, hvor man mister fornemmelsen af, hvad der foregår. Det fede – og det mindre fede Det fede ved bogen er AI’erne og deres interne dynamikker. Demeter og Steward der slås om hvem der er klogere. Steward der er træt af at blive slukket midt i sætninger med “priority override.” Den scene hvor Agnus kommer tilbage efter 15 år på Jorden og skal rejse med Demeter igen? Rørende. Skibet er blevet totalt refurbished, og Agnus genkender først slet ikke Demeter. Det øjeblik hvor hun skraber overfladen af og finder sin barndoms AI-mor – det er faktisk ret godt. Men karaktererne er lidt flade. Selv Agnus, som er tættest på en hovedperson, er lidt bleg. Og monstrene? De er sjove nok som pop-kultur-jokes, men ikke særlig interessante som karakterer. Det er underholdning så længe det varer – fed til en togtur – men ikke en der skal læses igen. Vurderingen Jens: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg synes jeg var godt underholdt. Det var et sjovt take, og jeg hyggede mig med alle de mange referencer. Det er ikke stor litteratur. Men af og til er det rart med noget let og fornøjeligt. Synes Demeters kamp med at forstå mennesker var kongesjov og også dens kollegiale kampe med Steward AI’en.” Anders: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg applauderer Barbara for at have fået en sjov idé og åbenlyst have haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive bogen. Men jeg var sært ligeglad med karaktererne, selvom Demeter og Steward havde deres øjeblikke. Jeg synes der var alt for meget fokus på ligegyldig action, og historien var alt for fragmenteret uden en god fornemmelse af udvikling.” Bogen minder os om Stefano Benni’s Terra – skør, vild og kreativ science fiction. Og selvfølgelig Blindsight af Peter Watts, som også har vampyrer i rummet. Adrian Tchaikovskys Service Model har også klare paralleller med robotter der forsøger at forstå sig selv og omverden. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Of Monsters and Mainframes. Shownotes til episoden om Of Monsters and Mainframes Siden sidst Anders Har set Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein på Netflix – meget teatralsk og med store armebevægelser. Kulisserne er for vilde. Den er lidt i stil med Dracula-filmatiseringen med Gary Oldman. Meget Guillermo del Toro-stil – hvis man er til det, er den vellykket. Anders gav den 6 ud af 10. Har læst The Other Valley af Scott Alexander Howard – en tidsrejsebog med meget lidt science i den. Vi lever i et mærkeligt parallelunivers hvor en by ligger i en dal. I dalen østpå lever de 20 år ude i fremtiden, i dalen vestpå 20 år tilbage i tiden. Meget strenge regler for at man ikke må gå frem og tilbage. Velskrevet og medrivende historie. Jens Har læst The Mercy of Gods af James S.A. Corey – Expanse-forfatterne er tilbage med en helt ny verden. Anbefalet af Søren Bjørn. Mercy of Gods foregår i en fjern fremtid på en planet hvor befolkningen kun har myter om koloniseringen. Vi er blandt videnskabsfolk som forsker i hvordan inkompatible træer af liv kan samleve. Men planeten bliver pludselig invaderet af en alien race – kæmpe hummer/knæler-agtige typer. Menneskeheden bliver sat på prøve for at se om man kan være en nyttig undersåt-race. Og samtidig går det op for os at der er en kæmpe galaktisk krig igang, og en af menneskene er blevet overtaget af en sværm af nanorobotter! Trailer ude for Ryan Gosling i rollen som Ryland Grace i Project Hail Mary af Andy Weir. Kommer i biffen den 20/3. Traileren spoiler bogen helt vildt, og der er kommet en masse action-scener som ikke findes i bogen. Lytternes input Masser af gode kommentarer fra kommentarfeltet om de gode læseoplevelser i 2025. Hennings top 3/2025: “Dying inside” af Robert Silverberg, 1972, om en ældre telepat der gradvist mister sin tankelæserevne. “Hard landing” af Algis Budrys, 1993, om hvordan en besætning fra en forulykket UFO forsøger at glide ind i og camouflere sig i det jordiske samfund. “Dark is the Sun”, af Philip Jose Farmer, 1979, om en Jord millioner af år ude i fremtiden, hvor Solen er ved at brænde sammen. Som Henning selv siger: “Det er eddermame nogle deprimerende indskud.” Frederik Aarup Lauritsen delte sin top 3 for 2025: Stiftelsen af Isaac Asimov, Station 11 af Emily St. John Mandel og Efter London af Richard Jefferies – en tussegammel post-apokalyptisk bog fra 1885. Kristofferabild har ikke så meget tid til at læse Sci-Fi for tiden – er gået en lille smule i stå med Count Zero. I 2025 var det bedste han (gen)læste Rendezvous With Rama, Restaurant At The End of The Universe og Murderbot 2 og 3. Michael har ikke fået læst så meget SF sidste år, men var sært glad ved Krystalverdenen af J.G. Ballard, The Ministry of Time på vores anbefaling – “det var jo næsten en hel hjertevarm sag – sjov at komme i gang med noget romance!” – og til sidst Jordboer af Sayaka Murata, som nok er en snitter i forhold til ren SF, men en tour de force i japansk dagligliv, body horror og nogle måske rumvæsner. “Prøv det. Den er crazy!” Majbritt Høyrup gjorde opmærksom på at Elle Cordova behandler The Power i sin blogklub. Hun vil anbefale to vidunderlige novellesamlinger af Ursula K. LeGuin: The Birthday of the World og Changing Planes. Lise bidrog med sine tre bedste bøger: American Elsewhere af Robert Jackson Bennett: Starter som Twin Peaks, går over i H. P. Lovecraft. En kvinde arver et hus i en by, som ikke findes på noget kort. Cosmicomics af Italo Calvino: Vi følger universets og Jordens tilblivelse gennem væsner/grundstoffer og deres oplevelser, interaktioner og kærlighed. En fin og underfundig lille novellesamling. The Prestige af Christopher Priest: En overraskende god bog. Hun har set filmen, men bogen er meget anderledes – hele det spekulative element fylder mere, og historien er langt mere mystisk. Næste gang Anders vælger næste bog: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus fra 1818. Den fås gratis som Project Gutenberg Public Domain e-pop eller PDF. Man taler tit om den som den første moderne science fiction-bog, så den er nærmest pensum for SCIFI SNAK. Jens har tidligere syntes den var røvkedelig, men er nu klar til at prøve igen – måske er han et andet menneske nu.

Film journalist Germain Lussier joins Dave Weekley on Hotline for a deep dive into upcoming sci-fi blockbusters. Germain shares early impressions from seeing footage of Project Hail Mary, the adaptation of Andy Weir's novel starring Ryan Gosling, and explains why its emotional human-alien dynamic could make it the next great space film. The conversation then shifts to Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, a cryptic summer release centered on revealing that aliens may already be among us. From Gosling's career momentum to Spielberg's blockbuster instincts, it's a wide-ranging look at Hollywood's next big swing at the stars.

We drink and eat our fill of Yoo-hoo and apple pie before discussing The Nice Guys (2016). The foolproof trio of detectives, Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe, and Angourie Rice, work together to solve this whodunit that really doesn't need to be solved to be enjoyed. It isn't a mystery that the acting, jokes, and comedic timing are what make this film worth investigating.

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a successful writer, but wondered if the moment had already passed? This week, in our "Author! Author!" series, we're sharing stories from people who answered that question by simply starting - often much later, and after building careers elsewhere. These conversations show how the path to authorship isn't something you find so much as something you clear, step by step, by leaning into the life you've already lived. Together, these episodes capture the heart of Second Act Stories: the idea that reinvention doesn't have an expiration date, and that sometimes the most meaningful work begins after you've already lived a few chapters. Mark Greaney is a #1 New York Times bestselling author. His debut thriller, The Gray Man, was published in 2009 and became a national bestseller and Netflix film starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. He wrote twelve subsequent Gray Man novels that have been released to date. He is also the co-author of seven Tom Clancy novels. His latest book, Sentinel, was released on June 25th, 2024. It is his 25th published work. Before emerging as a top thriller author, Mark spent 20+ years working as a bartender, waiter and midlevel office worker in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. But in his late thirties and after the death of his father, he finally got serious about writing. "I had this amazing epiphany. I was stressed about where I was in life. I didn't have a good position. And I had a lot of social anxiety. I drove a beat-up car. But it came to me one day that I loved to write and I was doing what I loved. And I realized I was successful even if I never got published…And within two years, I was published. And within four years, I was writing with Tom Clancy. And within twelve years, I had a movie out." ******* If you enjoy Second Act Stories, please leave us a review here. We may read your review on a future episode!

We start our inaugural UNLIKELY ROMANCES theme with one that is most certainly an unlikely romance. (But not in the way you might think.) It's Lars and the Real Girl (2007) from Craig Gillespie starring Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider, Kelli Garner, and Patricia Clarkson. From IMDB: A delusional young man strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet. Lars and the Real Girl is currently available on Prime Video, The Roku Channel, kanopy, hoopla, YouTube, and MGM+. (As of 2/3/2026) ENJOY!

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we celebrate Canadian greatness. We celebrate Rachel McAdams! Our B-Sides include The Lucky Ones, The Time Traveller's Wife, Passion, and Every Thing Will Be Fine. We also spend some time on The Hot Chick, and do a couple of Rachel McAdams-inspired quizzes at the top of the episode. It's fun! We talk about her new Sam Raimi movie Send Help. We reflect on McAdams' stratospheric rise to stardom within the first few years (and films) of her career, that time she dated Ryan Gosling, and her many accents over the years. We also shout-out the sheer amount of great filmmakers she's worked with over the years: Wes Craven, Ira Sachs, Woody Allen, Terrence Malick, Brian De Palma, Cameron Crowe, Antoine Fuqua, Tom McCarthy, Wim Wenders, Mark Osborne (animated), Sam Raimi, and Kelly Fremon Craig. That's incredible! There's the limited amount of press she has done over the years (though this podcast episode is lovely, about her and her dear friend) and the fact that the hit movies she's starred in throughout her career are mostly not made for movie theaters anymore. We speak to her comedy chops and her constant alignment with the directors she works with. She's a pro! And finally, we show some appropriate respect to the Michael Sucsy-directed romance The Vow. The woman loves a movie wherein time is manipulated!

In Cosmosexuals: Screen Acting, Stardom, and Male Sex Appeal (U Texas Press, 2025), Dr. Mark Gallagher presents an examination of male screen sex appeal and the ways that race, ethnicity, and national origin combine with performance tools and film and television style to aid or inhibit actors' circulation on an increasingly global stage. Sex appeal is complicated, especially for screen actors. Looking good is not enough. Charisma and charm have to register when the camera rolls. And sexiness has to travel. Today's heartthrobs are expected to raise temperatures all around the world. Cosmosexuals theorizes male sex appeal as a form of capital in an age of international stardom. Screen scholar Dr. Gallagher assembles a diverse cast—Idris Elba, Pedro Pascal, Simu Liu, Ryan Gosling, and more—analyzing how each actor uses his appearance, voice, and movement to perform in ways that viewers across cultural divides register as sexually appealing. Cosmosexuals also explores the intersection of global sex appeal and exoticism in historical and contemporary contexts—from the malleable racial identities of Omar Sharif and Conrad Veidt to Mads Mikkelsen's “accented whiteness”—and assesses the barriers that confine nonwhite actors, in spite of their talent or celebrity. Far more than handsome faces and chiseled abs, male sex symbols emerge as laborers subject to disciplinary regimes steeped in patriarchy, racism, and structural inequity. As such, they have much to tell us about the economies of taste at work in the construction of screen masculinity and the terms of human desire. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In Cosmosexuals: Screen Acting, Stardom, and Male Sex Appeal (U Texas Press, 2025), Dr. Mark Gallagher presents an examination of male screen sex appeal and the ways that race, ethnicity, and national origin combine with performance tools and film and television style to aid or inhibit actors' circulation on an increasingly global stage. Sex appeal is complicated, especially for screen actors. Looking good is not enough. Charisma and charm have to register when the camera rolls. And sexiness has to travel. Today's heartthrobs are expected to raise temperatures all around the world. Cosmosexuals theorizes male sex appeal as a form of capital in an age of international stardom. Screen scholar Dr. Gallagher assembles a diverse cast—Idris Elba, Pedro Pascal, Simu Liu, Ryan Gosling, and more—analyzing how each actor uses his appearance, voice, and movement to perform in ways that viewers across cultural divides register as sexually appealing. Cosmosexuals also explores the intersection of global sex appeal and exoticism in historical and contemporary contexts—from the malleable racial identities of Omar Sharif and Conrad Veidt to Mads Mikkelsen's “accented whiteness”—and assesses the barriers that confine nonwhite actors, in spite of their talent or celebrity. Far more than handsome faces and chiseled abs, male sex symbols emerge as laborers subject to disciplinary regimes steeped in patriarchy, racism, and structural inequity. As such, they have much to tell us about the economies of taste at work in the construction of screen masculinity and the terms of human desire.

In Episode 365 of Jay Movie Talk, I continue January's Loners, Drifters, & Outsiders series with a dive into Drive. One of the most polarizing and influential films of the 2010s.This episode explores the Driver as a modern loner: a man defined by silence, routine, and strict personal code. I talk about how the film uses restraint, minimal dialogue, and sudden violence to tell its story, and why Drive continues to spark debate over whether it's style over substance or something far more layered.i break down the film's direction, performances, and atmosphere, including:*Ryan Gosling's internalized, minimalist performance*Nicolas Winding Refn's controlled visual style*The role of silence and routine in character development*The shocking use of violence and moral consequences *Cliff Martinez's iconic score and its impact on the film's identity.Whether you love this movie or bounced off it, there's a conversation to be had. and that's exactly what this episode is about.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us. Since we are in the midst of this year's NFL playoffs, this week we are covering football movies. On today's episode, Steve Riddle is reviewing “Remember The Titans” from 2000 starring Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Ryan Hurst, Wood Harris & Ryan Gosling.

In Episode 364 of Jay Movie Talk, I continue January's Loners, Drifters & Outsiders series with The Place Beyond the Pines. A haunting, ambitious story about fathers, sons, and the weight of legacy.This episode explores how the film uses a bold, multi-generational structure to examine masculinity, desperation, privilege, and the consequences of choices that echo far beyond one lifetime. From Luke Glanton's quiet self-destruction to Avery Cross's moral compromise, the movie refuses easy answers and challenges the audience to sit with discomfort.I talk about the film's structure, performances, and themes, including: *Ryan Gosling's portrayal of a modern drifter searching for purpose.*Bradley Cooper's evolution from idealism to ambition.*Fatherhood, inherited trauma, and cycles that are hard to break.*Masculinity without guidance or emotional tools*Why does this movie hit harder with ageAlso, I talk about why The Place Beyond the Pines continues to grow in reputation over time, why some viewers might struggle with its narrative gamble, and why it fits perfectly within January's reflective tone.If you've seen the film, drop your thoughts on which storyline hit you the hardest, and whether you think the cycle was ever truly breakable.

Star Wars is heading into a new era as Kathleen Kennedy steps down after roughly 14 years leading Lucasfilm, shifting back to producing full time. In this quick breakdown, we talk through what her tenure delivered, why the leadership split between Dave Filoni (creative) and Lynwen Brennan (business and operations) makes sense, and why Filoni feels like the right choice to guide the next wave of Star Wars projects, including the Rey-focused movies. We also tease Kennedy's recent Deadline interview and what it may reveal about what's been happening behind the scenes.00:00 Major Lucasfilm changes, Kennedy's exit, and what her era produced00:19 Why it's worth remembering the wins alongside the debates00:32 The new leadership structure: Filoni on creative, Brennan on operations00:41 Why Filoni fits as a “fan first” creative lead00:52 Avoiding a “Clone Wars only” future and the importance of tentpole movies01:08 Kennedy's Deadline interview tease and quick wrap-upKathleen Kennedy is stepping down as president of Lucasfilm and moving into a full-time producing role.Her tenure covered the modern Star Wars era, from major films to the Disney+ expansion.The planned leadership approach splits creative direction and business operations, similar to other studio structures.Dave Filoni's background across key animated and live-action Star Wars projects positions him as the creative north star.The hope is balance: honoring what works in Star Wars while keeping the big-screen future moving forward.A deeper follow-up is teased based on Kennedy's Deadline interview and the behind-the-scenes details it includes.“Star Wars is going to go through some major changes.”“She took chances, and I respect the hell out of that.”“He's truly a fan first and executive second.”“You need those tentpole movies.”If you enjoyed the episode, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines, leave a quick review, and share it with #GeekFreaksHeadlines.

There are some BIG Questions worth talking about. We have ⁠@FilmSpeak⁠ in the studio today where we break down everything happening with The Batman Part II, including the latest casting rumors and what they could mean for Matt Reeves' grounded Gotham universe.

We also dive into Avengers: Doomsday, reacting to what fans are calling Avengers: Doomsday Trailer 3 — featuring the return of legacy X-Men (2000) characters like Cyclops (James Marsden), Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), and the looming presence of Sentinels. We also go through the full Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal, including the confirmation of Doctor Doom being played by Robert Downey Jr.. Plus, we touch on surprising Star Wars Starfighter news, with reports of Tom Cruise visiting the set of the upcoming Shawn Levy–directed Star Wars film starring Ryan Gosling — and what that could mean.
