Podcast appearances and mentions of Steve Buscemi

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. Taking a break from pulling classics out of the vaults, this week's film, "Don't Say Good Luck," just dropped on Netflix. Sunny Sandler stars as a 16-year-old theater kid, backed up by a cast including Melanie Lynskey, Max Greenfield, Stephanie Beatriz, Bebe Neuwirth, and Steve Buscemi. Within minutes, it's clear that what could have been a superficial teen flick produced by Adam and Jackie Sandler is a relatable look at "the show going on" while a family member fights cancer. Notes Hoffman, that depth may be due in part to the involvement of director Julia Hart and co-producer/writer Jordan Horowitz -- both veteran filmmakers with proven hits. However, it is Sunny Sandler who is the glowing glue of the movie, providing singing and acting chops rare in a 16-year-old. Hoffman gives a bit of the backstory behind the movie's production and insight into the choice of "The Waitress" as the play within the film. Labeling it a "weeper," he qualifies that it's not really a downer, rather realistically portrays the family's dilemmas. Borschel-Dan, who watched with two of her teenagers, realizes they are 100% the target audience for this intergenerational, Jewish-coded tale that is all too familiar. Let’s hear who gave this film an “oy,” “meh” or the prized “not bad” this week on The Reel Schmooze.

It's Arthouse Tuesday on a Friday, with some truly great new films. Here's what we reviewed on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: IT ENDS (NO Spoilers!): It's been such a great year for indie horror movies from exciting, young directors, and "It Ends" continues that trend. The debut feature from writer-director Alex Ullom finds four friends stuck in a car on a seemingly endless road, post-college. This is a non-spoiler review, because we want you to experience this for yourself, but join us at Noon Pacific time on Tuesday, Sept. 8 for a LIVE spoiler chat at our YouTube channel. In theaters. THE RIVALS OF AMZIAH KING: It's a terrible title for one of the best films we've seen all year. Matthew McConaughey is mesmerizing as a beekeeper and musician in small-town Oklahoma. Angelina LookingGlass is a tremendous find as the former foster daughter who comes back into his life. The less you know going into Andrew Patterson's film, the better. In theaters, but not for long, so look for it near you. DON'T SAY GOOD LUCK: Sunny Sandler is charming in this coming-of-age dramedy from director and co-writer Julia Hart ("Fast Color"). She plays a teenager who gets the lead in her high school production of "Waitress: The Musical" just as her mother's cancer returns. Melanie Lynskey, Stephanie Beatriz and Steve Buscemi lead the strong ensemble cast. Streaming now on Netflix. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Always a lot to talk about, even at the end of summer, including the death of Hayden Panettiere, "Dune: Part Three" tickets, D23 announcements, the latest milestone for "The Odyssey" and more. We won't be here the next couple Fridays, but join us again for our movie news livestream on Sept. 11. We're taking the end of summer off, but we have some goodies stockpiled for you. We'd never abandon you completely! Thanks for starting your weekend with us. Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

This is the 11th time a Coen Brothers film has been discussed on Have You Ever Seen, although this black comedy is slyer than many of the others. There's also a lot of violence and horror in Barton Fink. It's covering a lot of ground. John Turturro plays the title character, a Broadway playwright who's hired to write a wrestling picture in 1941 Hollywood. After dealing with writer's block for what seems like weeks on end, his script gets meta...and things get weird. John Goodman plays a complicated character with a lot of wit and devilishness while John Mahoney, Judy Davis, Jon Polito and Steve Buscemi contribute their quirks to this one too. Joel & Ethan have Barton talking a lot about the common man in this very uncommon dramedy. T'is a theme. So take your head-box to the beach and contemplate your dark future in California as I fill out close to an hour of talk time in this 756th episode with a look into Barton Fink. Well, Actually: in the "So I Got Thinkin'" about some of the summer's big releases, Milly Alcock was misidentified Milly "Adcock." Subscribe to Have You Ever Seen in your podcast application.

Antes de convertirse en leyendas de Hollywood, algunos de los actores más famosos del cine tuvieron que sobrevivir a la pobreza, trabajos inesperados y decisiones que pudieron terminar con sus carreras. En este episodio de Trollywood hablamos de Sylvester Stallone y la increíble apuesta que hizo para protagonizar Rocky; Harrison Ford y cómo trabajar como carpintero terminó acercándolo a Han Solo; Ken Jeong dejando atrás una carrera como médico para dedicarse a la comedia; Jim Carrey sobreviviendo a una infancia marcada por la pobreza; Steve Buscemi trabajando como bombero antes de triunfar como actor; y Marilyn Monroe, cuya llegada a Hollywood estuvo marcada por sacrificios personales mucho más grandes de lo que su imagen de estrella dejaba ver.Este episodio también es muy especial para nosotros: después de cuatro años grabando Trollywood desde Nuup Estudio, hoy nos toca despedirnos de este espacio que fue nuestra casa durante una etapa enorme del podcast. Nos vamos con muchísimo cariño, agradecimiento y recuerdos de todo lo que vivimos aquí. ❤️ ¿Cuál de estas historias de superación en Hollywood te sorprendió más?

Don't be a bad host – grab some stolen squid legs and pull up a chair for the second instalment of our Size Doesn't Matter season! This week, we're hitting the Bong Joon-ho hard to discuss his 2006 South Korean movie masterpiece, The Host. Is it a monster movie? A family drama? A fearless satire on bureaucratic incompetence? It's all the above, plus a healthy dose of anarchic slapstick and a very critical look at international relations. We dive into the murky waters of the McFarland Incident, the real-life catalyst where the US military decided the Han River was a great place for a formaldehyde dump. Featuring the legendary Song Kang-ho as a borderline narcoleptic hero, the film brings together a dysfunctional family including Byun Hee-Bong, Park Hae-il, Bae Doona and Ko Ah-sung to fight a creature that was apparently named Steve Buscemi on set. It's a fearless juggling act of tones that will leave you wondering why American remakes always pull their punches. What to expect from this episode: We speculate whether the baby who played the sun from the Teletubbies is a Patreon subscriber. A look at the McFarland Incident, the real-life event that inspired The Host. We discuss why South Korean movies like The Chaser and I Saw the Devil respect the audience way more than western movies. Dan explains how Bong Joon-ho made him sympathise with a “CGI blob” and nudged him toward veganism. A fun coincidence involving Scott Wilson and a previous season. A critical look at the film's anarchic family dynamics and why a Molotov cocktail is a great sibling-bonding tool. We discuss the fearless social commentary regarding “Agent Yellow” and the anti-American sentiment. A terrifying warning about next week's film choice.

This singular screenwriter has maybe always been a sicko at heart: she's relating to the one and only Thora Birch in GHOST WORLD, an artsy outsider teen who's trying to make sense of a the world she's constantly scrutinizing -- and being scrutinized by.  Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Statham Month at The Action Desk.

John Harbaugh's first team meeting as a New York Giant went viral for all the wrong reasons, but Covino & Rich think the internet is blaming the wrong side of the room. The guys break down the speech, the dead silence that followed, and why the most awkward speeches ever given still belong to Steve Buscemi and Chris Farley. Then Henry Winkler stops by Overpromised with a run of sports stories nobody expects from a guy who says he had no room in his brain for sports: the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar game-worn jersey he accidentally threw in the laundry, the ball Magic Johnson stole out of heaven, pitching for the Happy Days softball team, running into Tom Brady at an Italian restaurant, the Adam Sandler phone call that turned into The Waterboy, and the surprise Patrick Mahomes had waiting for him on the field at SoFi. Plus, Henry is still waiting on Mahomes to take him up on that dinner. The full uncut interview is on Patreon.com/CovinoAndRich, and Hazardous History Season 2 airs Sunday nights on The History Channel. #FSR #CRSHOW #OverpromisedSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#maryoliver #podcast #poetry #mitchhampton #film #documentary Inside this episode: An American Poet: A Conversation with filmmaker Sasha Waters on Mary Oliver, Documentary Film and the ArtsWhen the subject of a film is no less a figure than Mary Oliver, not only one of the greatest of 20th Century American Poets but also one who wrote of and from the natural world as much as the human and cultural world, it might seem that the visual dimension is as important as the spoken or written word. Sasha Waters has, incredibly, accomplished this in her film Mary Oliver: Saved By The Beauty Of The World, a film that approaches in image some of what Oliver did in her words. I enjoyed speaking with Sasha about her process in making her film as its universality and particularity speaks to us now in 2026 in ways that feel most relevant.Sasha Waters Bio:Sasha Waters is an American documentary and experimental filmmaker, feminist and educator. She has produced and directed twenty films, most of which were shot on her 16mm Bolex. Her films have screened at the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of the Moving Image, the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival and DOC NYC. She is a Professor of Photography and Film at VCU School of the Arts in Richmond, Virginia. She has been a Fellow in residence at MacDowell, Yaddo, and at Millay Arts.Synopsis of Mary Oliver: Saved By The Beauty Of The World:If poetry had a pop icon, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated bestseller, Pulitzer Prize winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly queer but intensely private, Oliver was America's unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly 50 years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world. From a lonely childhood to literary fame, Oliver's life was shaped by devotion to nature, paying attention, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives, atheists and believers, naturalists and urbanites, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention, presence, and the human relationship with the natural world – issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis, digital distraction, and social fragmentation. Featuring interviews with her close friends, including John Waters, never-before-seen personal photos, notebooks, and correspondence from her archive, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Steve Buscemi, and Oprah Winfrey, Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World considers the poet's long lifetime of work in context, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her.#poetry #queer #nature #massachusetts  #newengland #documentary #pbs #healing #spirituality #recovery #trauma #wilderness #botany #biology #family #conservation #literature #sharonolds #elizabethbishop #Emerson #thoreau #robertfrost #transcendentalism #religion #faith #boston #virginia #iowa #writer #garywinogrand #normanmailer #newyork #romanticism #robertlowell #biography #america #feminism #lesbian #gay #bookstore #johnwaters #stephencolbert #oprahwinfrey #bookclub #youth #education #pinkflamingos #multiplemaniacs #baltimore #maryland #ptown #provincetown #divine #drag #lucydacus #stevebuscemi #helenabonhamcarter #season #summer #winter #spring #fall #jessewelles #1950s #1960s #1870s #1980s #1990s #2000s #dogs #dogmom #animals #modernism #postmodernism #1800s #20thcentury #1700s #tseliot #annesexton #maysarton #sylviaplath #ornithology #birds #forest #woods #bear #sufriedrich #lynnesachs #fredwiseman More about us:Our podcast is a comprehensive examination of all matters aesthetic, all the arts and humanities, how they connect us, a celebration of the creative process across all of the arts and most of all, what it means to be human.

Houston, we have a podcast. This week, 3 Guys and a Flick blasts off with Michael Bay's gloriously over-the-top 1998 disaster epic, *Armageddon*. The guys dig into the all-star cast, wild production stories, unforgettable action sequences, Aerosmith-fueled soundtrack, and enough scientific inaccuracies to make NASA break into a cold sweat. From Bruce Willis' heroic Harry Stamper and Ben Affleck's questionable astronaut training to Steve Buscemi's scene-stealing Rockhound, the crew shares favorite moments, behind-the-scenes trivia, and plenty of laughs along the way. They also reflect on the film's surprisingly emotional finale before delivering their signature ratings and listener feedback. So grab your space suit, fire up the drill, and don't miss a thing, because the end of the world has never been this entertaining.

Fargo (1996) turns 30 this year. On this episode of The Cinema Psycho Show, hosts Brian and John are joined by Katie and Nat from The VHS Club podcast to revisit the Coen brothers' Minnesota crime classic — including why detective Marge Gunderson spent most of the investigation with almost nothing to go on but a single vague description of her "funny looking" suspect. In this episode: Why Fargo's dialogue rewards a rewatch more than almost any crime film of the '90s Marge Gunderson's investigation, and how one bystander's description of a "funny looking" suspect drives the entire back half of the movie The real production story behind the movie's snow (there wasn't enough of it) A live read-through of listener and Letterboxd reviews of Fargo, 30 years later Final ratings and verdict from Brian, John, Katie, and Nat Quick answers: Is Fargo based on a true story? No. Despite the film's opening title card, Fargo is a work of fiction — a detail the Coens have confirmed for decades, and one the hosts dig into on this episode. Where does Fargo take place? Mostly in Brainerd, Minnesota — not the city of Fargo, North Dakota, despite the title. Who stars in Fargo? Frances McDormand as Marge Gunderson, William H. Macy as Jerry Lundegaard, Steve Buscemi as Carl Showalter, and Peter Stormare as Gaear Grimsrud. Who directed Fargo? Joel and Ethan Coen (the Coen brothers), released in 1996.

The Batman fans, brace yourselves: Part II just slid all the way to February 2028, and the guys have thoughts on whether it should even happen. Before Frank ships out for a two-week cruise, he and Jonathan clear the week's biggest geek headlines, from a live-action Princess Tiana penned by Colman Domingo, to a major God of War series recast, to Steve Buscemi joining the Far Cry show and a quick DC and Marvel roundup covering Blue Beetle, Supergirl, and Nova. Then the episode shifts gears for a standout interview with writer and director Stephanie Hubbard, the creative force behind the new fantasy comedy A Fairy Tale. She breaks down her leap from hairstylist to filmmaker, how Pure Magic Pictures built a fully connected nine-film universe on indie budgets, the real trading card game (Dino Guru) her cast learned to play on set, and why a thriving Discord community beats chasing Netflix. It is a genuinely fun look at building fandom from the ground up. Timestamps and Topics 0:00 Intro and Frank's Vacation Catch-Up 1:01 Colman Domingo's Live-Action Princess Tiana 6:08 God of War Series Recasts Kratos 10:27 Far Cry Series Adds Steve Buscemi 16:05 The Batman Part II Delayed to 2028 23:18 DC and Marvel Roundup: Blue Beetle, Supergirl, Nova 33:11 Guest Interview: Stephanie Hubbard on "A Fairy Tale" 1:07:46 Weekly Picks and Wrap-Up Key Takeaways The Batman Part II is delayed to February 18, 2028, and the hosts debate whether the six-year gap makes the sequel worth finishing at all, especially with a separate DCU Batman on the way. The God of War series is recasting Kratos after actor Ryan Hurst suffered a torn bicep. With two seasons filming back to back, four already-shot episodes will need a full reshoot. Colman Domingo is writing a live-action Princess Tiana that tells a new New Orleans story rather than remaking The Princess and the Frog, which the guys see as a smarter path than the recent one-for-one remakes. Noah Hawley and Rob McElhenney's Far Cry series lands its first big villain casting in Steve Buscemi, with the hosts riffing on possible settings and story angles. Stephanie Hubbard's A Fairy Tale is the ninth feature in Pure Magic Pictures' fully connected cinematic universe, premiering July 23 at 7:30 PM Eastern, with the studio on track for four films in 2026. Pure Magic built real fan infrastructure around the movies: an actual trading card game (Dino Guru) the cast learned on set, a Discord community that names things like their coffee blend, and a heavy convention presence. Quotes "Not all fairies are good at their job." (Stephanie Hubbard, on the premise of A Fairy Tale) "When I try to be someone's savior, it doesn't go very well. I'm just a person." (Stephanie Hubbard, on the film's message) "No excuses. The cavalry isn't coming." (Stephanie Hubbard, on the Robert Rodriguez mindset that pushed her into filmmaking) "We make movies, but we're truly artists first, and this is our art." (Stephanie Hubbard, on community and creating) "Maybe in 30 years, we will make Time Pit." (Stephanie Hubbard, on the running in-universe reference in every Pure Magic film) Call to Action If you enjoyed the episode, subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss a drop, leave a rating and review to help new listeners find the show, and share it with a fellow geek on social using #GeekFreaksPodcast.

The $12 cup of Erewhon 'Sacred Water' was in-studio today for a taste test. Since she has heightened senses from pregnancy, Ally was the one to test various cups of water, including one from the bathroom toilet, to see if she could identify the Sacred Water correctly. Klein and Ally both had serious conversations with their wives about hall passes: would they allow them? Who would they be? Both conversations went very differently, and now our number one priority is booking Steve Buscemi on the show. Jake is on the rebound and back on the dating apps, but needs massive help with his dating profile. We broke it down today, pic by pic, and Vaness managed to shoot down each and every photo he had on his profile. It was determined that we must burn the foundation to the ground and completely start over. Can Vanessa and Ally turn Jake into an eligible bachelor? We also heard a new heated argument in Petty Claims Court where a guy accused his sister of constantly posting ugly photos of him online without his consent.

Host Michael Azevedo is joined by Sasha Waters, the director of “Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World” a biographical documentary about poet Mary Oliver that is now playing in a limited theatrical release and which will broadcast on the PBS series American Masters in August.   Celebrated best-selling poet, Pulitzer Prize-winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly queer but intensely private, Mary Oliver was America's unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world.    From a lonely childhood to literary fame, Oliver's life was shaped by devotion to nature, paying attention, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved.    Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives, atheists and believers, naturalists and urbanites, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention, presence, and the human relationship with the natural world.    Sasha Water's film features interviews with Mary Oliver's close friends, including John Waters, never-before-seen personal photos, notebooks, and correspondence from her archive, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Steve Buscemi, and Oprah Winfrey.   Making Media Now—which is available on all podcast platforms including YouTube--is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum. From providing fiscal sponsorship to presenting an array of informative and educational programs, Filmmakers Collaborative supports creatives at every step in their journey.   About the host: www.writevoicecreative.com and https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-azevedo/   Sound Engineer: A.J.

Filmmaker Sasha Waters discusses her new documentary Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World, about the prize-winning poet who became a lecture circuit sensation late in life. Waters reveals how she got Stephen Colbert, Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Buscemi, as well as Hairspray director John Waters (no relation to Sasha) to take part in the film.

Welcome back to the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast for another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent!   As we get ever closer to the re-retrospective coming this October 2026 we carry our Adjacent series and this month it's James's pick he's chosen Stanley Tucci's possibly overlooked 1998 comedy The Impostors—a loving homage to the golden age of slapstick, screwball comedies, and classic double acts like Laurel & Hardy and the Marx Brothers.   Packed with an incredible ensemble cast including Oliver Platt, Alfred Molina, Steve Buscemi, Tony Shalhoub, Lili Taylor, Isabella Rossellini, Billy Connolly and even a brief appearance from Woody Allen himself, this is one of those films that has quietly built a passionate cult following over the years… while leaving plenty of other viewers completely baffled.   Along the way, Don discovers that he may never have truly understood what defines a farce until finally sitting down with this film, while James makes the case that Hollywood simply doesn't take creative swings like this anymore. Whether The Impostors is a forgotten comedy gem or an ambitious experiment that doesn't quite come together… it certainly gave us plenty to talk about.   Thanks as always for listening!   ==========================================================   Links mentioned in this episode:   James Content Rollout Announcement Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEFovWooMuA   Stanley Tucci's The Impostors (1998) Interview - https://freshairarchive.org/segments/actor-director-and-writer-stanley-tucci-imposters   ==================================================   For full cast details, user reviews, and more background on the film, check out:

Directorial Debut Month continues with one of the most influential first films ever made: Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs.Released in 1992, this low-budget crime thriller exploded onto the independent film scene and introduced audiences to Tarantino's signature style—sharp dialogue, unforgettable characters, nonlinear storytelling, and bursts of shocking violence.We break down the infamous heist movie that never shows the heist, the incredible ensemble cast featuring Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and Steve Buscemi, and discuss how Tarantino turned a modest budget into one of the most talked-about debuts in cinema history.From the opening diner conversation to the film's explosive finale, Reservoir Dogs remains a masterclass in tension, character, and independent filmmaking. More than thirty years later, we're asking: does this debut still hit as hard as it did in 1992?Violent, stylish, endlessly quotable, and impossible to ignore—this is the film that introduced the world to Quentin Tarantino.#WatchTowerFilmPodcast #DirectorialDebutMonth #ReservoirDogs #QuentinTarantino #IndependentFilm #CrimeCinema #FilmPodcast #CinemaHistory #CultClassic #CinephileTalk

What happens when the stars of the television series that introduced America to paramedicine decide it's time to tell the real story? In this episode of EMS One-Stop, Rob Lawrence is joined by EMS pioneer Dr. Baxter Larmon and award-winning filmmaker Tom Putnam to discuss Into the Unknown: The Paramedics' Journey. | MORE: ‘Emergency!' stars launch Kickstarter campaign to expand reach of paramedic documentary, “Into the Unknown,” backed by Steve Buscemi, Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe Born from the vision of Emergency! stars Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe, and backed by Steve Buscemi, the documentary follows paramedics, dispatchers, volunteers, flight crews and their families across America, revealing the realities of modern EMS. From Baton Rouge to Sparks, from volunteer rescue squads in Virginia, to helicopter rescue teams in California, the film explores not only what paramedics do, but what the job does to them. The conversation examines workforce shortages, mental health, resilience, public misunderstanding of EMS, and the role the film could play in educating communities, policymakers and future generations. The episode also explores the documentary's Kickstarter campaign and plans for worldwide release. If Emergency! introduced America to paramedics 50 years ago, Into the Unknown seeks to explain the people behind the uniform. Notable quotes "One of the things that I'm probably most proud about in the movie is that these first responders are now allowing their family members and their friends to be able to see what they go through every single day." — Dr. Baxter Larmon "The call volume, I mean, they used to sit in the station, they'd joke in the station, they'd eat, they'd have dinner, they'd complete their whole dinner and they would never get a call. That just doesn't happen anymore." — Dr. Baxter Larmon "Our fourth goal is to get recognition by governmental agencies to understand what EMS is, to be able to recognize its importance in the community, but more importantly, to fund it appropriately as well." — Dr. Baxter Larmon "I honestly had no idea what I was getting into with this and how intense the personal interactions were gonna be." — Tom Putnam "By the time that particular run was over, I just think I was wide-eyed and said, wow, we're making a war movie." — Tom Putnam "For the right person, this is the best job in the world." — Tom Putnam Episode timeline 00:00 – Trailer and opening montage 01:41 – Rob introduces the episode and guests 03:18 – The origin story of Into the Unknown 05:13 – The lasting impact of Emergency! on EMS and what story the documentary is trying to tell 08:32 – Tom explains why he said “yes” immediately 10:52 – The first EMS call filmed and realizing the scale of the project 12:15 – Locations featured in the documentary 16:22 – How EMS has changed since Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto 17:54 – Stories that surprised Tom most 20:15 – The emotional burden of the profession 22:40 – Calls Tom "can't unsee" 24:00 – EMS as the safety net for society 25:07 – Burnout, resilience and humanity 27:30 – Why families need to see this film 28:06 – Why the project launched a Kickstarter campaign, funding goals and distribution plans 33:30 – Using the film as an EMS advocacy tool 35:43 – Lightning round 38:03 – Why EMS might be the best job in the world 39:05 – Dr. Richard Carmona's role in the film 40:16 – Final thoughts and call to action Enjoying the show?

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.
