Johnny Mac recaps comedy news, led by Stephen Colbert returning to TV the night after The Late Show ended by guest-hosting the Monroe, Michigan public-access show Only in Monroe, featuring guests/cameos including Jack White, Byron Allen, Eminem, Steve Buscemi, and Jeff Daniels, plus local food bits; Colbert previously hosted in 2015. Paramount/CBS issued copyright takedown notices after uploads appeared online, then told Variety it was standard practice against unauthorized posts and waived further enforcement. The Late Show finale drew 6.74M viewers vs Letterman's 13.76M final and Colbert's 2015 premiere 6.55M; Mac says the finale and Colbert's run had little impact on him. The Times of London argues Tim Dillon represents an internet-era successor to late-night, citing younger audiences and cost/format challenges, plus comments about YouTube economics and an upcoming Ben Gleib YouTube show.

In this edition of Trend Shapiro’s Fortnite Foray, Jack and Miles discuss Donald Trump’s disapproval rating reaching an all-time high of 58%, along with Trump skipping Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding. They also break down Starbucks’ latest advertising controversy, which echoes the company’s infamous 2002 “Collapse Into Cool” misstep, in which a poster promoting two new beverages drew criticism for imagery reminiscent of the September 11 attacks. The new campaign was tied to the release of a new oversized tumbler called The Tank, launched on May 18th and branded as “Tank Day.” The problem: May 18th is the anniversary of the Gwangju Democratic Uprising in South Korea, when the military-controlled government used tanks to suppress pro-democracy demonstrations. Next, they discuss the shooting outside the White House, which was covered by several media members who were filming at the time and the administration's use of the shooting as a justification for the White House ballroom. Next, in an effort to slow subscriber losses at The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro streamed himself playing Fortnite for the first time. Finally, the day after the final episode of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert guest-hosted Only in Monroe, a public-access show from Monroe, Michigan, featuring guests Jack White, Jeff Daniels, and Steve Buscemi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Three short films about New Yorkers: the relationship of an artist and his assistant falls apart; a very young rich girl has adventures; a lawyer's relationship falls apart when his mother disappears during a magic show. It's an uneven collection, as anthology films often are: Scorsese's "Life Lessons" is a savage look at exploitation, Coppola's "Life Without Zoe" is a middling children's film, and Allen's "Oedipus Wrecks" is a pretty standard Woody Allen sketch. Starring Nick Nolte, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Buscemi, Talia Shire, Mia Farrow, Julie Kavner, Mae Questel, and Woody Allen. Written by RIchard Price, Francis Ford Coppola, Sophia Coppola, and Woody Allen. Directed by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Woody Allen.

Born and raised in Princeton, New Jersery, Wilkes relocated to the West Coast with his family, where he would go on to earn a BA at UC Santa Cruz, before eventually deciding to study screenwriting at the American Film Institute (AFI). Having worked as a screnwriter on such cult classics as 1994's "Airheads" (Adam Sandler, Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Chris Farley, and Michael Richards) and "The Stoned Age" (Michael Kopelow, Bradford Tatum, and Clifton Collins Jr.), which was released this past Monday as an exclusive cult collectible Blu-Ray in celebration of 420, Wilkes officially made his semi-autobiographical coming of age tale "Glory Daze", starring a pre-Kevin Smith Ben Affleck, Sam Rockwell, and French Stewart, and has since paved way as a legend in an intense industry that is changing quicker than you, and I could ever fathom. While combining the existential elements of youth, relationships, career, and the brave balance of life, Wilkes may be your new favorite obsession when it comes to cult comedies, and subliminal stoner stories. On this episode of The Self Portrait Gospel Podcast, we sit down with the veteran screenwriter/director to discuss the old glory daze of long-lasting youth in the 1990s, films legends such as Spielberg, Fincher, and Soderbergh, the never-ending narrative of nostalgia, the impact of AI, and much more.

In the March of Madness month continues with another Marc pick of movies that take place in one confined space. This week, we're taking a look at Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, the 1992 American independent heist film starring Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen as diamond thieves whose heist of a jewelry store goes terribly wrong. Joining us on the podcast this week, is friend of the show and one of Tarantino's biggest fans...Mike Freeman! Listen in and find out what we all thought.
Before Pulp Fiction made Quentin Tarantino a household name, there was Reservoir Dogs — a film so raw and transgressive it was banned in the UK for years, circulated on pirate VHS tapes, and became the blueprint for an entire generation of filmmaking. A guy who worked in a video store in LA wrote and directed this. Wrap your head around that. Richard Lewis, MonteCristo, and Thorin kick off Four Play's Tarantino Arc with the film that started it all. They dig into why Reservoir Dogs was banned in the UK (and what the Jamie Bulger case had to do with it), how Tarantino's background as a video store clerk — obsessively watching foreign cinema and genre trash alike — produced one of the most assured directorial debuts in film history, and why this movie, despite its reputation as a "video nasty," has a surprisingly low body count and a genuine soul underneath the blood. The crew breaks down what makes the non-linear storytelling genius rather than gimmick, unpacks the iconic Mr. Blonde torture scene and what Michael Madsen brought to that role, makes the case for Steve Buscemi's Mr. Pink as the film's true protagonist, and explains how the K-Billy Super Sounds of the 70s changed how soundtracks work in movies — commercially and culturally — forever. This is the beginning of Four Play's deep dive through Tarantino's career. Coming next: Pulp Fiction. The arc is just getting started. Mint Mobile — If you like your money, Mint Mobile is for you!

Released just over thirty years ago to acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, this was writer/director Tom DiCillo's (The Real Blonde, Johnny Suede) love letter to the trials and tribulations of independent cinema. It takes place most only a chaotic film set where Nick (Steve Buscemi) is the beleaguered director only looking to get ONE good extended take of the next scene for this film which he developed. Of course he's not the only one struggling as there is also a put-upon actress (Catherine Keener) feeling pressure from all sides, an egotistical movie star (James LeGros) who's acting as if HE controls the set, an insecure cameraman (Dermot Mulroney) who's also feeling sick, another actor (Peter Dinklage in his on-screen debut) who is just not vibing with his role, and any other number of players behind the scenes who each have their own issues to deal with. And what results is one of the funniest backstage comedies of the '90's!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send a textSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
For the entire month of March, the guys at Not A Bomb are throwing it back to their old Movie Matchup format—pitting notorious box office bombs against each other in a battle for redemption. Two flops enter… only one survives. There can only be one!Crank up the amps, listeners, because this week we're going full volume with a double feature of rock‑and‑roll misfits: Airheads and The Rocker. That's right, Troy and Brad are diving into two cult‑leaning comedies about musicians who refuse to let obscurity, bad decisions, or basic common sense get in their way.Airheads (1994)Directed by Michael Lehmann and starring Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Michael McKean, Ernie Hudson, Judd Nelson, and Joe Mantegna, this ‘90s cult favorite asks the truly important questions: What happens when your band can't get airplay and your best plan is… taking a radio station hostage? How did one movie manage to pack in this many iconic comedic faces? And why, despite all the chaos, does it still feel painfully relatable to every band that's ever played a half-empty club while their drummer argues about artistic integrity?The Rocker (2008)Directed by Peter Cattaneo and starring Rainn Wilson, Christina Applegate, Josh Gad, Emma Stone, Teddy Geiger, Jeff Garlin, and Jane Lynch, this one brings the arena‑rock energy with a side of midlife crisis. The MatchupFrom hostage‑taking metalheads to a washed‑up drummer chasing redemption, the guys break down which film hits the right notes, which one bombs, and which earns the coveted weekly crown. It's an episode packed with laughs, nostalgia, big hair, bigger egos, and enough rock‑movie absurdity to fill a stadium.We Want to Hear From YouGot a cinematic flop you want us to tackle?

Cathy and Todd discuss The Wedding Singer and why this Adam Sandler–Drew Barrymore rom-com lived fully inside the 80's, the music, the clothes, and all that emotional earnestness. They talk about the chemistry that made it work and the unexpectedly sharp stuff underneath, and what happens when genuinely open-hearted people fall in love with each other. They get into Steve Buscemi's awesome chaotic presence and why the soundtrack sold so many copies. The Wedding Singer helped reframe the '80s as emotionally formative and it's remained one of the most loved rom-coms of its era.

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. With the newest Pixar movie “Hoppers” coming out of March 6th, this week we are going back and featuring past films from Pixar. On today's episode, Chad Campbell is reviewing “Monsters, Inc.” from 2001 starring Billy Crystal, John Goodman, James Coburn, Steve Buscemi & Jennifer Tilly.
On this episode of Remainders we watch the 1996 film Trees Lounge. Steve Buscemi's directorial debut, Trees follows Tommy, an alcoholic who spends his days at a mostly empty bar with mostly empty relationships. As he grasps harder to a better life, he just continues to sink lower. Cementing Buscemi as an indie film staple in the 90s, we also discuss the pivotal role this film had influencing The Sopranos.Other topics include Buscemi's career, the stacked cast including Anthony LaPaglia, Chloe Sevigny, Daniel Baldwin, Seymour Cassel, and Samuel L. Jackson, along with plenty of Sopranos faces, the Oscars, new physical media, PTA commentaries, new artwork with the Dropkick Murphys, and a reflecting on 25 years since Andrew W.K.'s classic album I Get Wet.Songs of the WeekI've Been Hurt by Bill Deal & the RhondelsMusic Is Worth Living For by Andrew W.K.Remainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

Hey everybody, welcome back to Myopia Movies. This week we're tackling an action-silly Nicolas Cage classic: Con Air. And honestly—if you've never seen it before, I almost want to tell you to stop and watch it first… but our discussion is good enough that you'll survive either way. Fair warning: this episode got chaotic. So chaotic, in fact, that our newly married editor and panelist, Nur Chernnet, had to cut nearly 15 minutes of material. We went completely off the rails. What you're hearing is the best of what survived. We hope you enjoy the wreckage. As always, keep listening, keep subscribing—and now for some big news. If you're listening to this when it drops (mid-January 2026) and you're in the Metro Atlanta area, make sure you follow CineProv on Facebook. At the end of the month—the final Wednesday—we're launching a brand-new regular CineProv show. Even better, Keiko and Jeremy, two members of the Myopia crew, will be debuting their first show that night. Go support them. It's going to be great. One last thing: attached to this episode is a link to our Amazon Wish List. If you pick a movie from the list, not only will we cover it on the podcast (thank you for the support!), but we'll also record an exclusive, personalized riff just for you—attached to a DVD so you can watch us tear into the movie specifically in your honor. Check it out, see if anything grabs you, and as always—thanks for listening. How will Con Air hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Candace, Jeremy Directed by Simon West Starring: Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, John Malkovich, Colm Meaney, Mykelti Williamson, Nick Chinlund, Renoly Santiago, Ving Rhames, Dave Chappelle, Rachel Ticotin, Steve Eastin, Steve Buscemi, Danny Trejo, M.C.

After crashing out a little bit with the January Jones episode, we thought we'd return to this era for a slightly better outing, this time hosted by Steve Buscemi! Who doesn't love Steve? No one, that's who. And if you don't like Steve Buscemi, keep that to yourself, ya weirdo. So what do we got on deck for this one? Well, we've got a fairly well remembered sketch with Coach Bert, a cameo from Maya Rudolph as Whitney Houston, some fun debuts, some last iterations of a few sketches and The Black Keys playing some songs you may remember and have very little opinion on. Friends, it looks like we got ourselves an episode of SNL.
The most petty and ill informed podcast in the world! Stuart and Tam joined by Kenny Macintyre, who reveals he has prostate cancer and tells our male listeners about how important it is to get checked - especially if there's a history of prostate cancer in the family. Mimmo Rossi talks about watching Maradona train while he was playing for Napoli, Massimo Donati says he misses Scotland and would be happy for his son to play for our country if he chose Scotland over Italy. Gary Innes shares a brilliant Steve Buscemi story plus the James Bond XI and the Terracing Teaser.
Let's revisit Steve Buscemi's relationship with Sandler, SNL hosting stories, and the Coen brothers. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices
This week, Shat The Movies goes back to school—literally—as we revisit Adam Sandler's breakout man-child classic, Billy Madison. Commissioned by Hot Sauce Steve, this 1995 comedy asks the eternal question: what if the heir to a hotel empire had to redo grades 1 through 12 because he's too dumb to inherit a business? Gene and Big D break down Sandler's early "shouting gibberish at adults" era, debate whether Billy is secretly sweet or just deeply concerning, and marvel at how many jokes in this movie would definitely not get greenlit today. The guys revisit iconic bits like the dodgeball massacre, the penguin, the academic decathlon, and Steve Buscemi's lipstick-fueled redemption arc. Was Billy Madison actually funny, or were we all just 12 years old once? And more importantly, does shampoo really beat conditioner?

This week, Shat The Movies cranks the amps, loads the water guns and storms the radio station for 1994's Airheads. Commissioned by listener John W., this forgotten rock comedy captures a moment when being a long-haired metalhead still meant something—and when you had to physically take hostages just to get your demo played. Gene and Big D relive the glory days of Blockbuster soundtracks and flannel rebellion while asking: was Airheads secretly a Gen X prophecy about streaming, soulless algorithms and the death of radio or just a juvenile comedy where Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler somehow make the dumbest idea ever seem kind of badass? Along the way, the hosts debate Brendan Fraser's heartthrob era, Steve Buscemi's brief flirtation with “normal guy energy” and why physical media might be the only thing keeping our culture alive. They also accidentally invent the world's first militant anti-Spotify movement. Is Airheads an under-appreciated anthem for the lost rock generation—or proof that metalheads should never be trusted with firearms, fake or not? Crank it up and find out.
