Open Discussion!

Welcome to Netflix's hard pivot. Faced with lagging engagement from its users and signs of audience disinterest in some of its top shows between seasons, Netflix's next big thing might be… cable television. Live channels, more talk shows (via video podcasts) and creator content and bundles with other streamers (including perhaps Peacock) to recreate the lean-back appeal of watching TV on the couch. Certainly, it's possible Netflix makes a play for another company — perhaps NBCU now that Comcast has split the film and television studio from its broadband company, or Starz. But Jessica suggests there's an even better fit for M&A hiding in plain sight: Spotify. Listen to today's bonus episode for more from Sean and Jessica on Netflix and the next steps for Paramount, plus hear Sean's conversation with Fandango's Shawn Robbins about the weekend box office, where Disney's live-action Moana added another flop to the summer tally.

We revisit horror classics like Suspiria, Deep Red, and Demons. Plus, Johnny shares his thoughts on Good Fortune starring Keanu Reeves, compares his lovable rookie angel to Nicolas Cage's unforgettable performance in City of Angels, and explains why one angel wants to become human while the other has no idea how humans actually work.And before all of that, Johnny opens with a personal reflection on the famous phrase "The Show Must Go On"—from its circus origins to Freddie Mercury's legendary final recordings—and why that motto still matters today. Movie of the Week: Blue Monkey (1987) Horror Movie Reaction Johnny Spoiler Reviews Summer Slash 8 Binge Now, Binge Later, or Binge Never?Next week: Road Games (1981) keeps Summer Slash rolling.If you love horror movies, cult classics, creature features, streaming recommendations, and honest movie reactions, subscribe and join the Binge-Watchers community.#JohnnySpoiler #HorrorMovieReaction #BlueMonkey #CultMovies #HorrorMovies #MovieReview #CreatureFeature #BingeWatchersPodcast #ResidentEvil #DarioArgento #GoodFortune #SummerSlash #MoviePodcast #HorrorPodcast #KeanuReeves #NicolasCage

In a departure from the typical "Recommends" format, Ben Lindbergh brings on 'Vulture' TV critic and 'TV Is Good' cohost Kathryn VanArendonk for a wide-ranging discussion centered on a sci-fi/fantasy pairing of 'Outlander' (which just concluded an eight-season Starz run), 'For All Mankind' (which just wrapped its fifth season of six on Apple TV), and their respective spinoffs (especially 'Star City,' which just premiered). They start by assessing how much the shows have in common, what sets them apart, and how they reflect TV trends, before diving deeper into each franchise, first in a high-level way and then (with warnings) by reacting to the latest seasons.

Hi Y'all - Allison and Julie got together to discuss Outlander season 8 episode 9, "Pharos." OK so I guess we need some set up for the finale...or whatever? Good acting, weird choices about the plots we're focusing on in this episode. Content warning regarding suicide 19:29 - 20:00, and lots of book spoilers 33:20 - 35:53.

Editors - Laura Zempel, ACE and Lauren Connelly, ACE Although BEEF - Season 2 editors Laura Zempel and Lauren Connelly are working together for the first time, this is Laura's second season working on the series.  But despite being new to one another, Laura's and Lauren's talents seamlessly combined to tackle a complex, character-driven "slow burn" with multiple storylines that required a delicate balancing of tone, including both dark comedy and psychological drama. Created by Korean director Lee Sung Jin (Sonny Lee) for Netflix, Season 2 of BEEF stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as Joshua Martin and Lindsay Crane-Martin, and Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton as Ashley and Austin, two couples; the poor latter two blackmailing the rich former two, using footage Ashley shot of a heated argument which would threaten their image.  Similar to Season 1, this incident escalates into a prolonged feud and a game of cat-and-mouse...minus one dog. LAURA ZEMPEL In addition to her Emmy®-winning work on BEEF - Season 1, Laura's skills as an editor can be seen in another Netflix series, SIRENS (2025).  She has also worked on EUPHORIA (2019-22), DISPATCHES FROM ELSEWHERE (2020) and ROOM 104 (2017-19).  Prior to that, she assisted on HOUSE OF CARDS (2014), DEXTER (2011-13) and IF I CAN DREAM (2010). LAUREN CONNELLY, ACE Originally from Chantilly, Virginia, Lauren graduated from The University of Southern California with a B.A. in Cinema-Television Production.  Past credits include television shows such as MO on Netflix, GASLIT on Starz, MASTERS OF SEX on Showtime, THE STRAIN on FX, and THE SON on AMC.  Recent feature films include SITTING IN BARS WITH CAKE for Amazon Studios, A TOURIST'S GUIDE TO LOVE on Netflix, and Rodrigo Garcia's FOUR GOOD DAYS, which premiered at Sundance.   Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Hear Laura discuss her work on BEEF - Season 1 and SIRENS.

What if the most controlling relationship you've ever heard of isn't happening in a compound somewhere, but behind closed doors in an ordinary home? In this episode, Renee sits down with Rachel Bernstein, one of the country's leading cult interventionists and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of experience. Together they unpack one of the most eye-opening parallels in psychology: the stunning overlap between cult tactics and covert narcissistic relationships. If you've ever felt like you needed permission to exist in your own relationship — this episode will explain why. In this conversation, you'll discover: - Why a marriage or partnership can function as a "cult of two" - How covert narcissists use the same mind control techniques as cult leaders - Why intermittent gratification is just as addictive as gambling — and keeps you trapped - Why leaving feels like abandonment — and why that feeling is by design - How to start trusting your own inner voice again after years of gaslighting Rachel has worked with the Department of Justice, appeared in the Starz documentary Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult and Netflix series Unwell and How to Become a Cult Leader, and has likely spoken with more cult survivors than anyone in the history of her field.

Hi y'all, Allison and Julie happily discuss Outlander season 8 episode 8 "In The Forest," because it was better than whatever happened last week. A couple of notes: 1) Jamie definitely WOULD have asked Claire about the book's dedication, right? 2) Can Brianna just go ahead and invent a time machine so we can fast forward through whatever is happening right now? And finally, 3) Why is Charles Vandervaart sneakily becoming our favorite? Is it because he was a whiny-bitch baby-man who chose to LEARN FROM IT? Lots of love, Allison and Julie Photo courtesy of Starz

Hi - Thanks, we don't want it. Lots of book spoilers in here, so if you care, avoid 22:15 through around 28:30. Good job to Lauren Lyle and Sophie Skelton.

Michael Aaron Milligan is an actor best known for his roles in Hunting Wives, F1, and Outer Banks.  His latest role is one of a hitman known as "Chameleon" in the upcoming film, "Blood Behind Us," which premieres at the Dallas International Film Festival on April 26, 2026. EPISODE SUMMARY BELOW: Hunting Wives Season 2 Discussion Nate and Michael discussed Michael's role in the TV series "Hunting Wives," which has been renewed for Season 2. Michael explained that the show features flashbacks about Kyle's activities and is directed by four different directors, with Rebecca Cutter serving as the showrunner and writer, having adapted the novel by Mae Cobb. Michael shared his experience getting the role, noting that the casting directors were looking for a local actor in North Carolina and that the character required full frontal nudity, which initially concerned him but ultimately made him more interested in the part. Full Frontal Nudity Scene Discussion Michael discussed his experience with a full frontal nudity scene in a role, explaining that he was aware of the requirement during the hiring process. He worked with Rebecca Cutter and the intimacy coordinator to understand the scene's context and chose to go natural rather than using prosthetics. Michael described his character as dangerous and drug-affected, emphasizing that the scene focused on the character's psychological state rather than physical aspects. Nate praised Michael's performance as a bad guy, suggesting it required some natural rebelliousness. Acting and "Hunting Wives" Discussion Michael and Nate discussed Michael's approach to acting and life, emphasizing the importance of channeling energy and understanding one's own psyche. They praised Brittany Snow's performance in the series "Hunting Wives," finding her character relatable and well-acted. Michael revealed that the show was initially produced for another platform but later moved to Netflix after a change in ownership. Netflix Show Season 2 Discussion Michael and Nate discussed Michael's upcoming role in Season 2 of a Netflix show, which will feature flashbacks to his character Kyle. They noted the show's risque content and discussed its move from Starz to Netflix. Michael also shared his experience being cast in Outer Banks Season 2 and working with Brad Pitt in the F1 series. The release date for Season 2 of the Netflix show was mentioned to be late summer. F1 Racing Movie Engineering Role Michael explained his role as the lead engineer and strategy director in an F1 racing movie, describing the authentic experience of participating in a real race at Daytona International Speedway. He detailed how the team spent a week in rehearsals before filming the actual race scene, comparing the experience to being part of a real Super Bowl preparation. When asked about his entry into Hollywood acting, Michael mentioned moving to Hollywood in 2005 but the transcript ended before he could complete the details. Acting Career Transition Journey Michael discussed his career journey from bartending at the Mondrian Hotel across from the Comedy Store to pursuing stand-up comedy and eventually transitioning to acting. He explained how he developed his comedic skills through stage time and later became interested in drama to tell longer-form stories. The conversation also touched on his recent acting roles, including working with notable actors like Malin Akerman in "The Hunting Wives," and his current location base in Atlanta while working in various locations across the United States. Acting Career Transition Discussion Michael discussed his acting career transition from LA to Georgia, explaining how returning to his home state helped him rediscover his performing spirit and become more selective in his roles. He shared his experience working with Michael Madsen on the film "Blood Behind Us," noting that Madsen had played his father character before passing away last summer.
