Send us a textThis week we take a deep dive into Netflix. We review Train Dreams and The Rip starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. We also give our reviews for Netflix newest drama short series "His & Hers" starring Jon Bernthal and Tessa Thompson. We also do a short recap of the 2026 Golden Globes. 

Jodie Foster has been acting since she was 3. At 12 she was nominated for an Oscar for her role in Scorsese's ‘Taxi Driver.' This year marks the 50th anniversary of that film. Foster spoke with Terry Gross about her early acting career, including getting mauled by a lion on set. Her new film is ‘A Private Life.'  Tessa Thompson stars in the new Netflix murder mystery limited series ‘His & Hers' and in Nia DaCosta's adaptation of Ibsen's ‘Hedda.' She spoke with Tonya Mosley about navigating her biracial identity and why she has both “yes” and “no” tattooed.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

His & Hers might be the first hit of 2026. The Netflix psychological thriller stars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal. This is a nice whodunit story that ends in a what seems to be a polarizing twist. But before we get there, we talk about HBO's Euphoria season 3 trailer then get into Golden Globes.

Nick catches up with Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter to break down the Golden Globe Awards while they are still fresh. They talk through the winners and losers, how the broadcast actually played, and what worked and didn't with host Nikki Glaser. It's a straight-shooting reaction to an awards night that gave everyone plenty to argue about. Dan also weighs in on a few new things worth watching, including the Amazon series The Night Manager, the drama His and Hers starring Tom Hiddleston, Tessa Thompson, and Jon Bernthal, and a new documentary centered on Chevy Chase. The reviews are thoughtful and honest, with the kind of context only a longtime critic brings. Things take a sharp turn into chaos when Esmeralda Leon joins in and British bon vivant and game show tormentor Slap Slapply returns. Nick and Esma get thrown into another round of 80s and 90s trivia madness, and the results are as ridiculous and entertaining as you would hope. [Ep 420]

The time has come for The Run-Through's annual Golden Globes recap—and let's just say, this one delivered. Not only did friend of the podcast Nikki Glaser return to the stage as the hostess with the mostest (with jokes Vogue deputy editor Taylor Antrim couldn't get enough of), but we were also treated to a truly cheeky look from Teyana Taylor (Vogue predicts: the Year of the Buttcrack is officially here) and a standout awards-season red carpet debut from two of the most talked-about boys of the moment, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie of Heated Rivalry.Reporting early to share highlights from the night, Chloe, Chioma, deputy editor Taylor Antrim, and senior fashion and style writer Christian Allaire broke down the looks that won the evening. Bright colors emerged as a surprising trend, with Wunmi Mosaku's bold yellow look—paired with a pregnancy reveal—standing out as a major highlight. Other memorable moments included Odessa A'zion in self-styled archival Dolce & Gabbana, Tessa Thompson in Balenciaga (serving real mermaid vibes, according to Chloe), and Colman Domingo in Valentino, complete with an abundance of brooches.The group wrapped up by sharing their favorite wins of the night, with unanimous agreement that One Battle After Another is likely to be a frontrunner heading into the Oscars—and that Timothée Chalamet is a shoe-in for Best Actor. Plus, Chloe makes the case for why Zootopia 2 deserved a little more love. Listen to our full recap below. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

There's a specific perverse pleasure in watching a murder mystery show that knows exactly when to let you feel confident and exactly when to pull that confidence out from under you. Netflix's “His & Hers” does that trick over and over again. You think you've got a handle on it. You start building your little internal conspiracy corkboard. Then it quietly slides one detail out of place, and suddenly the whole picture looks different.The series follows Anna (Tessa Thompson), a once‑prominent journalist who returns to her hometown just as a murder investigation begins to unravel long‑buried secrets. Told through competing points of view between Anna and her estranged husband, Jack Harper (Jon Bernthal), the show builds its tension around who controls the narrative, and what happens when truth becomes a weapon rather than a destination. The ensemble cast also includes Jon Bernthal, Pablo Schreiber, Marin Ireland, Sunita Mani, and more.

[REBROADCAST FROM Dec. 1, 2025] A provocative re-imagining of Henrik Ibsen's classic play, “Hedda” stars Tessa Thompson as the aristocrat caught between a past love and a stifling marriage. Thompson and director Nia DaCosta discuss the film.

Thompson is nominated for a Golden Globe for her starring role in ‘Hedda.' She spoke with co-host Tonya Mosley about her collaboration with director Nia DaCosta, navigating her biracial identity, and why she almost quit acting before ‘Dear White People.' She stars as a news anchor investigating a suspicious death in the new Netflix limited series ‘His & Hers.' Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Nia DaCosta, who joins us to discuss her film Hedda, which is streaming now on Amazon Prime as well as other home entertainment platforms. Based on the Henrik Ibsen play, Hedda stars former Soundtracking guests Tessa Thompson and Tom Bateman among a fine cast, and centres around a lavish party in which personal and professional tensions simmer. Hildur Guanodottir's score is predictable fabulous.

Aristocratic chaos agent Hedda Gabler isn't a character. She's a Rorschach test, and has been for over a century now. Since first appearing in 1891 as the puzzling eponymous protagonist of a play by Henrick Ibsen, audiences have stared into at this recently married woman, driven by domestic suffocation into acts of destruction, and found different meanings, reflective of who they are, reflective of their politics and personal struggles. Is she a beacon of feminist freedom, lashing out at the restraints forced upon her by a misogynistic upper class? Is she a tragic figure, numbed then maddened by the spiritual emptiness of a bourgeois life? Or is she more simply put, a monster - someone so bored, she seeks entertainment in the destruction of others?In writer-director Nia DaCosta's new take on the character, starring frequent collaborator Tessa Thompson, she's perhaps all of the above and more – this is a queer retelling that fizzes with intrigue and nuance and a kinda Brat Summer-era celebration of feminine messiness. Today on Script Apart, a podcast about the first draft secrets of great movies and TV shows, Nia joins me to talk about the thematic through line in her work, connecting Hedda with her 2018 thriller Little Woods and her 2023 foray into superhero cinema, The Marvels. We get into her fascination with unconventional women on-screen, the literature in her childhood that led her to Hedda and every important spoiler plot point from this new adaptation.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

In the new film Hedda, Tessa Thompson plays a woman bored with her dull husband, and who devilishly manipulates the affections of everyone in her orbit. Writer/director Nia DaCosta makes some bold changes in this adaptation of the classic Henrik Ibsen play Hedda Gabler, and sets almost all of the action during a lavish party gone awry. But this is not your grandmother's Hedda. It's sexy, chaotic, and, above all, messy as hell. It's streaming on Prime Video.

Over the course of a raucous party, the high and low of society endure the consequences of this dangerous and unknowable woman yearning for a past love. What ensues is a ruthless game of manipulation, where lust, jealousy, and betrayal collide. Written and directed by Nia DaCosta, Hedda is a daring exploration of power, desire, and a woman's refusal to be confined." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"I love adaptations. The beauty of adaptation, especially a classic, like Shakespeare and Chekhov or Ibsen, they're such a gift because they give you this beautiful framework, and it's almost like they're begging you to take it and make it your own," says writer/director Nia DaCosta about adapting Henrik Ibsen's 1891 play Hedda Gabler into her new film Hedda.   Set in the 1950s, the movie stars Tessa Thompson in the lead role, Imogen Poots as Thea, and reimagines the character Eilert Lovborg as a queer woman (now Eileen), played by Nina Hoss.  We chat with Nia DaCosta about her journey to becoming a filmmaker, genre hopping into horror with Candyman and the upcoming 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. She even made the superhero movie The Marvels. We also talk about the challenges of tackling the complicated, often cruel character of Hedda in the new film.  "When I read the play [Hedda Gabler]," says DaCosta, "I'm like, this woman is hilarious! She's absolutely absurd. In the play, she's so verbose roaming around this sitting room, yelling at everyone who comes in. I wanted to replicate that, but more through action. And then there's the empathy part of it. To me, her tragedy is that she will never know herself. It's a life's work to understand and know ourselves, our emotional world. I think because she is so cruel, because she is so unhappy, because she has made these decisions that have trapped herself in this life – that to me is really sad. But I don't want people to forgive her for what she's done, or to excuse it."  DaCosta also shares her advice on adapting someone else's story. "I think you have to know why you want to do it, and what it is you want to use the work to say. To let that 'why' sort of guide your pen. That's my convoluted way of saying trust your gut."  If you've been thinking about adapting a classic play into a modern movie, you don't want to miss this podcast.   

An androgenous figurehead of a found family that refuses to grow up -- if you've never thought of Peter Pan in those terms, director Tina Romero is here to set you straight (er, in a manner of speaking).

Romero). And as always, Jordan digs up all the connective tissue between all of the above.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Nia DaCosta's new film, Hedda, starring Tessa Thompson. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

DaCosta directed the box office hit horror movie Candyman and The Marvels. Her latest, Hedda, is an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's 1891 play, Hedda Gabler. She reimagines the main character as a queer, mixed-race Black woman, played by Tessa Thompson. DaCosta spoke with Tonya Mosley about navigating white spaces in Hollywood, why she loves horror, and her time as a production assistant. Also, jazz critic Martin Johnson reviews bassist Linda May Han Oh's album Strange Heavens.
