Podcast appearances and mentions of sterling k brown

This week ends our mini-series curated by friend of the show, the Rev DeAnna Daniels PhD by discussing a bold film from earlier this year. Adapted from her play of the same name, Aleshea Harris's IS GOD IS contains multitudes. It is a Southern Gothic revenge epic. It is a microcosmic history of inherited trauma. It is a darkly comic, allegorical odyssey. And it is a theological exploration of all that we perceive about -- and act in response to -- our understanding of God. It follows two twins -- Racine and Anaia (Kara Young and Mallori Johnson) who, injured from a young age by their elusive and absentee father (Sterling K. Brown), are contacted by their estranged mother (Vivica A. Fox -- aka God) and told to go on a quest to "Make [their] Daddy dead."We're joined by a host of recent friends of the show, including DeAnna herself, Leland Merritt PhD, and cultural theopoet de'Angelo Dia for a rich discussion about what we talk about when we talk about God. We touch on the ways this film has the power to both inspire and infuriate, as it holds up a mirror to some of our worst suppositions and our fiercest tendencies.It's a thoughtful and rewarding final chapter in this mini-series that has explored multiple facets of the horrific and the divine. We want to thank Dr. DeAnna Daniels again for curating and programming it and we really hope you enjoy it.Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?6:00 - IS GOD ISSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on That Was Us…we're back with another Chat Was Us! This time, inspired by the many caregiving stories throughout This Is Us, we're tackling a topic that touches millions of families: what does it really mean to care for someone? Joined by caregiving advocate and storyteller Lydia Storie, hosts Mandy, Sterling, and Chris explore the realities of caregiving, why seeing these experiences represented on screen matters, and how storytelling can help people feel less alone.In this episode, the conversation covers: * Why caregiving is so often invisible—and why representation can change that * The research behind This Is Us's caregiving storylines and how they impacted viewers * How seeing characters like Rebecca, Randall, Miguel, and Kate navigate care can open up conversations in our own lives * Rebecca taking agency over her end-of-life planning * Randall and Miguel's honest conversation about needing a break from caregiving * Kate's experience as both a parent and a caregiver * The importance of cultural authenticity in Miguel's family story * Why storytelling can sometimes be more powerful than education or traditional PSA campaigns * The idea that there are more than 130 million people in the U.S. living in the thick of care * How seeing your own experience reflected on screen can create a powerful sense of “I'm not alone” * The parasocial connection audiences develop with characters—and why that can make conversations about care feel more personal * How we can change the way we value aging, disability, caregiving, eldercare, paid leave, and care in our culture Resources mentioned in this episode: just changed it to this: https://careconversations.com/#join-the-conversation Survey link for people to tell us about their experiences and inform a more supportive system for care the U.S. https://wearehfc.org/thisisus The stars of This Is Us discuss the significance of putting Alzheimer's and caregiving into the spotlight. https://learcenter.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/caregiving_thisisus_lear_cag.pdf Audience impact research from Norman Lear Center -- which analyzed how This Is Us S6 affected viewers' opinions and attitudes about care And a friendly reminder, you can catch new episodes of That Was Us every Monday, a day early, exclusively on Hulu.

This week is a special episode. First, we're kicking off a brand-new miniseries of films curated by friend of the show and professor Rev DeAnna Daniels, PhD. It's an opportunity for us to more directly engage our values, in expanding our FoG family in more deliberate ways, and in elevating horror-themed cinematic works that directly feature voices and experiences that grow our spirits, our minds, and our capacity to love all of God's FoGgers better.Kicking off this special series is coverage of a film that wouldn't necessarily be considered horror on its surface. HONK FOR JESUS. SAVE YOUR SOUL. is a film centering on a pastoral couple (Sterling K. Brown and Regina Hall) who formerly lead a booming megachurch ministry before a scandal obliterated their influence and scattered their congregants elsewhere. The film, told in a mockumentary style, follows their aim to recapture their former glory -- in the name of the Lord, of course -- and the seemingly unconquerable obstacles in their path.We're joined by DeAnna as series curator and her friend Dr. Indhira Udofia, an interdisciplinary educator and scholar whose work is committed to cultivating spaces where justice, leadership, and healing converge. It's a hearty and robust conversation (among the lengthiest in FoG history), in which we each vulnerably and thoughtfully discuss church, faith, and the captivating intersection where the divine and the monstrous are sometimes indistinguishable.We really hope you'll open your ears and your hearts for this one, and we really hope you enjoy it.7:11 - Two Questions with Indhira UdofiaPatron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?21:28 - HONK FOR JESUS.

This week on That Was Us…we're back with another Chat Was Us! This time, inspired by the many journeys of ambition and self-discovery in This Is Us, we're tackling one big question: What does it really mean to be successful? From chasing dreams and career milestones to fulfillment, purpose, and legacy, Mandy, Sterling, and Chris reflect on how their definitions of success have evolved over the years. In this episode, the hosts chat about: * How their definitions of success have shifted from external achievement to personal fulfillment * The difference between being successful and feeling successful * Why our brains naturally fixate on failure and how encouragement can quiet the inner critic * The role childhood competition, sports, and early ambition played in shaping their drive * Fame versus fulfillment, and how public recognition differs from lasting happiness * The career milestones that made them feel like they had finally ""made it"" * Why longevity, meaningful work, and the respect of your peers matter more than awards * The artists and mentors who have redefined success through decades of purposeful careers * Why passion (not money) is often the clearest path toward purpose * How luck, preparation, and saying ""yes"" to opportunity all play a role in building a career * Raising children to value effort, curiosity, and joy over simply winning * The legacy they hope to leave behind and what a truly successful life looks like at the end Plus, along the way, the conversation takes a few unexpected detours into childhood summers, Slurpees and hose water, youth sports, camp counseling, terrible self-talk, and an emotional compliment game that reminds the hosts just how much they mean to one another.

This week on That Was Us…we're back with another Chat Was Us! Inspired by the many love stories that have defined This Is Us, from Jack and Rebecca to Beth and Randall, the hosts gather for another Group Chat episode centered around one big theme: romantic love.

This week it's just Steven and Devon holding down the fort while Ben is away, which means the conversation somehow manages to jump from guitar maintenance to Star Wars collectibles to post-apocalyptic murder mysteries without missing a beat. Real Life Devon spent part of the week giving some attention to an old Kelly-style guitar that had been fighting him for years. After wrestling with the floating tremolo system, he explains the joys and frustrations of guitar intonation and why getting everything properly adjusted can feel more like engineering than music. With the guitar finally behaving itself, he's been spending time learning Vivaldi's Summer, proving once again that classical music can be every bit as metal as heavy metal. Meanwhile, Steven returned from a Disney trip with a collection of souvenirs that may or may not require their own dedicated shelf. The haul includes a Spira gift card, a BB-series droid, a C-series droid head popcorn bucket, a Grand Holocron, a new Star Wars font hat, and nearly every Kyber crystal available. Unfortunately, despite collecting the entire rainbow, none of the elusive secret crystals made their way home. Such is the way of the Force. Future or Now Devon dives into Paradise on Hulu, starring Sterling K. Brown. What initially appears to be a political thriller quickly reveals itself to be something much stranger. Without spoiling too much, the series combines a whodunit mystery with a post-apocalyptic setting and some surprisingly deep character development. The show's vision of "The American Dream Underground" becomes one of the most fascinating aspects of the story, and Devon argues that the character work is what truly elevates the series above similar mystery shows. The conversation also briefly touches on Hoppers, now available on Disney+. The verdict? It's definitely strange. Whether that strangeness is good or bad may depend entirely on your tolerance for Pixar-style weirdness. There may also be connections to the Pixar Theory, but there simply isn't enough time to open that particular can of worms. Steven brings an interesting study examining the real-world effects of popular GLP-1 weight-loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. Researchers analyzing Fitbit data discovered that while patients successfully lost weight after starting the medications, many also became less physically active. Daily step counts and exercise levels declined, raising concerns because these drugs can reduce muscle mass alongside fat loss. The findings highlight an important reminder: losing weight and maintaining physical fitness aren't necessarily the same thing, and preserving strength remains a critical part of long-term health. Links Paradise (IMDb): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27444205 Weight-loss medication activity study: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260614011841.htm   This episode covers everything from guitar maintenance and Disney loot to dystopian mysteries and the surprising relationship between weight loss and physical activity. Just another normal week on Science Faction.

This week on That Was Us, we're joined in studio by Faithe Herman, who grew up before our eyes as Annie Pearson on This Is Us. Joining the series at just eight years old and wrapping at fourteen, Faithe reflects on what it was like to spend her childhood on one of television's most beloved family dramas, and how the cast became a second family along the way.

This week on That Was Us, we're trying something a little different. Inspired by the heart of This Is Us and where we currently are in the rewatch with Kevin and Randall's reconciliation, the hosts kick off a brand new “Group Chat” format centered around one big theme: siblings! From birth order and family roles to rivalry, resentment, and deep love, Mandy, Sterling, and Chris open up about their own sibling dynamics and the ways those relationships continue to shape who they are today. In this episode, the hosts chat about: * Their own sibling dynamics, age gaps, and the roles they played growing up * How birth order can shape personality, ambition, and family identity * Why siblings raised in the same household often feel like they had completely different parents * The ways Kevin, Kate, and Randall mirror real-life sibling dynamics and coping mechanisms * How trauma and major life events can permanently shape sibling relationships * Caring for aging parents and how siblings divide emotional and logistical responsibilities * Why the sibling who moves away often experiences family differently * The lasting impact of family roles well into adulthood * Whether siblings naturally grow closer with age—or drift apart * “Hot takes” about siblings, including parent favorites, youngest-child privilege, and whether siblings are built-in best friends or built-in enemies * The value of staying connected to family, even when relationships are complicated And a friendly reminder, you can catch new episodes of That Was Us every Monday, a day early, exclusively on Hulu.

Black on Black Cinema dives deep into Is God Is (2026), Aleshea Harris' feature directorial debut adapted from her Obie Award-winning stage play. Starring Kara Young as "The Rough One" and Mallori Johnson as "The Quiet One," the film follows twin sisters bearing the disfiguring burn scars of a childhood tragedy, ordered by their bedridden mother to kill the abusive father who destroyed their family. With Janelle Monáe, Sterling K. Brown, Vivica A. Fox, Erika Alexander, and Mykelti Williamson rounding out the cast, and Tessa Thompson and Janicza Bravo producing.We analyze Harris' genre-blending, part western grind house, part noir, part dark comedy; and how she translates her stage play to cinema. We break down how the film confronts generational trauma, absent and intimate partner violence, and the totality of Black womanhood with brutal honesty. Sterling K. Brown cast against type as a villain is inspired. Black women's rage played straight, not for laughs or shame, is the film's greatest achievement.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community. We review Black films across every genre — from Black horror and Black sci-fi to indie dramas, comedies, and blockbuster action.

The crew is back with another Queued Up, As Requested episode, and this time we're discussing Is God Is — one of the most creative films released this year. Written and directed by Aleshea Harris, the film stars Sterling K. Brown and Vivica A. Fox in a gripping story centered on sisterhood and revenge.Our crew dives into the film's striking cinematography, the importance of Black-led films, and why it's time to give Sterling K. Brown his flowers. We also break down the ending and, of course, answer the ultimate question: Was It Good Though?

This week, we continue our favorite "bad" action movies with a visit to the Hotel Artemis, a near-future dystopian flick with a convoluted plot, varying levels of quality in its action sequences, and cheesy dialogue. Plus a stacked cast that includes Sterling K. Brown, Jodie Foster, Dave Bautista, Brian Tyree Henry, Sofia Boutella, Charlie Day, Zachary Quinto, and Jeff Goldblum. Hotel Artemis was written and directed by Drew Pearce.

You should make sure to check out the new film Is God Is. It's a kinetic movie about twin sisters (Kara Young and Mallori Johnson) who set out to kill their abusive dad (Sterling K. Brown). It's an exciting road trip movie akin to Thelma & Louise mashed up with the affecting themes of sisterhood in The Color Purple. The promising feature debut from acclaimed playwright Alesha Harris also features Janelle Monáe, Vivica A. Fox and Erika Alexander. Follow Pop Culture Happy Hour on Letterboxd at letterboxd.com/nprpopcultureSubscribe to Pop Culture Happy Hour Plus at plus.npr.org/happyhourSee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Amazon is going to dump the live-action Voltron movie straight to streaming -- Henry Cavill's big-budget Defender of the Universe flick wrapped filming last year with solid test screenings calling it a fun family action romp, but Amazon MGM Studios confirmed today it's skipping theaters entirely for a straight-to-Prime Video drop sometime in 2027 alongside Sterling K. Brown and Rita Ora. Yeah after years of hype and '80s nostalgia bait they decided the robot lion combining spectacle wasn't worth the big-screen gamble -- classic streamer move of turning a potential theatrical event into another "watch it while scrolling your phone" filler while fans get left wondering why the lions couldn't even form Voltron in IMAX.

Forgive us our slight post-Oscar delay, dear listeners, but here we are for our eighth annual year-end review show, which we call 2025: Juke Joints and a Few Small Beers in honor of two of the year's (and perhaps the decade's or even the century's) most unforgettable films. This episode represents an exciting step for us as, for the first time, we welcome a guest: the redoubtable Kerry Cowan, brilliant teacher, lifelong film fan, and an old old friend of mine. Looking back at the year in film that was 2025, we noted that this was the first year since we started back in 2018 that we all really had trouble narrowing the field to a top ten. In the past, we've often had to stretch for the last couple, ending up with Top 7 or Top 8 lists. This year, as you shall see below and hear within, our problem was what to leave off. In a year of triumphs from sources both expected and unexpected, perhaps the best thing about the year was the return to form of some of our favorite directors: Coogler with "Sinners", PTA with "One Battle", our beloved Chloe with "Hamnet", Aronofsky with the underseen "Caught Stealing", Del Toro with "Frankenstein", Aster with "Eddington", Bigelow with "House of Dynamite" and the astonishing Richard Linklater with not one but two wonderful films. As always, we considered the eternal question of which of these films will be watched by anyone in 25 years, let alone show up the Sight and Sound poll in 2032. No doubt whatsoever about "Sinners" and "One Battle". I would throw "Eddington" on that list, as uneven as it is, since it points to a vivid moment in the American pageant, reminding us exactly when it was that we lost our minds. "Hamnet" will surely be there, and we suspect that the luminous "Train Dreams" might have some legs down the road. With Michael in the lead, we all loved "Sentimental Value" (besides the facial morph montage). None of us cared much for "Bugonia", though I actually came within 10 minutes of liking a Lanthimos film before that ending. We also ended up underwhelmed by "Marty Supreme", which personally killed me with its 50's setting clashing with 80's synth-pop throughout. Yes, we would have gotten the idea that the go-go Wall Street/American Psycho 80's had its roots in figures from the 50's like Marty without being hit over the head with it musically. Trust your audience, filmmakers! As for the Oscars themselves, it was another great party this year, only slightly spoiled by the fact that Michael won the pool by a landslide again this year. It's now 98 years and running with no black person winning for Best Director, but it's hard to complain about Paul Thomas Anderson finally winning after 14 nominations in almost 30 years of work. And the Cinematography award going to Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the first woman and black person to win that one, indicates that we may in fact be making progress. And they got it right with Michael B (finally), the lit-from-within Jessie Buckley (best acceptance speech), and "Sentimental Value"'s win for Foreign Language Film. As for the show itself, Conan was fine, though the bits were hit and miss as usual. We loved the "Bridesmaids" reunion, the "Moulin Rouge!" one not so much, and loved the painfully accurate "Casablanca" bit with Sterling K. Brown where plot elements have to be restated every couple of minutes or so to accommodate declining attention spans. And they finally got the necrology right, though we wish we had more time to see who came onstage for Rob Reiner; Rachel McAdams' tribute to Diane Keaton was lovely, but it did turn out that Babs' singing voice was not exactly like butter. So kick back, relax, and enjoy Kerry's star turn as our D'Artagnan, our Fourth Musketeer, as Team Vintage Sand reflects and reports on what was perhaps the best year in film since we started this lunacy some eight years ago, in the Before Time.

This week on Cinematic Savants (minus Ryan) Tommy and Shawn have a quick talk on 80's movies that did not age well, as well as those that did stand the test of time. They have a side conversation of Wedding and moving etiquette. Shawn finally gives his thoughts on Project Hail Mary, which has become a Hugh hit for Ryan Gosling. Tommy gives his review of Paradise on Hulu, starring Sterling K. Brown this week and we talk about the impact of A.I. on pop culture. The Boys on Amazon premiers this week and it does not disappoint. Shawn reviews the movie Thrash on Netflix.

In this episode, we conclude our reviews of the second season of the hit Hulu original series Paradise, starring Sterling K. Brown. We discuss whether this season that seemed to start off strong did it end on that same high note, and we debate whether spending so much time on other new characters who were outside of the domed world was necessary to the plot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sterling K. Brown (Paradise, The People v. O.J. Simpson, This Is Us) is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor. Sterling joins the Armchair Expert to discuss learning from his father not to allow what he does for a living to dictate who he is, the benefits of having a good stubbornness, and how speaking in tongues as a child was good acting training. Sterling and Dax talk about meeting his wife as a student at Stanford, his lucky break as a reader for a Brecht play, and developing empathy for Chris Darden while playing him in The People v. O.J. Simpson. Sterling explains his mantra that you can't be a fan and in the game at the same time, the fun of doing his second project with Dan Fogelman, and why he wouldn't change anything that brought him to this point.

From Dan Fogelman (This is Us), the series is back for a second season, so we're revisiting our conversation about the show. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
