“Disclosure Day” and “The Odyssey” are expected to dominate the summer box office, but they’re not quite here. Instead, we’ve been left with an underwhelming start to the summer movie season to go with the conclusion of several seasons and series of streaming favorites. On this week’s episode, co-host Bruce Miller shares his thoughts on movies that missed the mark, from “Power Ballad” to “The Breadwinner” to “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.” And then there is another movie with low expectations:  “Masters of the Universe.” Co-host Terry Lipshetz shares his thoughts on the conclusions of “Euphoria,” “Beef,” “Half Man,” “The Testaments,” and “For All Mankind,” before turning to the start of the latter’s spinoff, “Star City.” About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is the retired editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, managing editor of the National Newsroom for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. The show was named Best Podcast in the 2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contest. Theme music Thunder City by Lunareh, used under license from Soundstripe. YouTube clearance: FV694ULMCJQDG0IY

Send us Fan MailAngels show up everywhere in the Bible, yet most of us learn “angel theology” from TV reruns and sentimental stories. We start with Hebrews 1:14 and let Scripture set the terms: angels are ministering spirits sent by God to serve those who will inherit salvation, not cute symbols or mystical side characters we get to redesign.From there, we walk through several famous accounts often described as angelic help, including stories popularized by Billy Graham. They're compelling, they're moving, and they raise the right kind of question: if God sometimes sends unseen aid, how do we stay grateful without building doctrine on anecdotes? That leads us to a needed boundary line from Deuteronomy 29:29, reminding us that God reveals enough for faith and obedience, not enough to satisfy every curiosity.Then we go straight into the biblical data on angels across both Testaments: angels minister to Jesus after the temptation, Jesus compares resurrected life to angels who do not marry, and angels appear as God's active servants in major redemptive moments. We also map key Bible terms for angels, including messenger, sons of God, morning stars, heavenly host, ministering spirits, and even ranks like “chief princes” in Daniel. Finally, we tackle the question everyone asks, “How many angels are there?”, and land where Revelation and Hebrews land: an innumerable company, with the sobering truth that a third fell in rebellion.If you want a clear, Bible-based foundation for understanding angels, listen through and share it with a friend, then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the series.

In this episode of The UpWords Podcast, host Jean Geran sits down with biblical scholar Seth Whitaker to explore a question at the heart of Christianity's origins: how do Jews and Christians read Scripture differently—and what holds their interpretive traditions together?Drawing on his doctoral research at the University of St Andrews on the use of the Psalms in the book of Hebrews, Seth argues that the earliest followers of Jesus were Jews wrestling with their own religious heritage in light of the Messiah. Rather than a clean break, he traces a story of deep continuity — one in which the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the same God who raised Jesus from the dead.Jean and Seth examine why the Old Testament can feel “more vengeful” than the New, and why that contrast is more caricature than reality. Seth offers a striking image: Scripture is not a flat plain where every verse carries equal weight, but a landscape of mountains and valleys, with high peaks of revelation — like God revealing himself as “abounding in steadfast love” at Sinai — that give us a vantage point on the harder passages.The conversation also draws on a previous UpWords episode with AJ Levine to consider what Christians might learn from Jewish interpretive practices: the “70 faces” of Scripture, a comfort with multiple readings, and the practice of reading sacred texts in community as a guard against going off the rails. Seth closes by tracing how rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity gradually defined themselves over and against one another — shaped by events like the expulsion of Jews from Rome, the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, and the Bar Kokhba revolt — and why he encourages readers to approach the Hebrew Bible less like a prophecy-fulfillment checklist and more like an ongoing dialogue.Whether you've wondered how Christianity emerged from Judaism, struggled with the difficult passages of the Old Testament, or simply want a richer way to read sacred texts, this conversation offers thoughtful insight and plenty to ponder.YOU WILL LEARNWhy every New Testament author was a Jew making sense of an inherited tradition — and why that changes how we read Christian originsEschatology as a central interpretive lens: how “the last things” reshaped the way early believers read their ScripturesThe same God, not two: pushing back on the ancient Marcionite split between the God of the Old and New TestamentsSinai as a “mountain peak” — God's mercy to the thousandth generation versus judgment to the third and fourthScripture as mountains and valleys, not a flat plain of equal-weight proof textsLove and judgment appear in both Testaments — including in the Psalms and in the teaching of JesusThe “70 faces” of Scripture and what Christians can learn from Jewish interpretation in communityHow the early church's patience, love, and care across class lines set it apart in Rome Three historical turning points that drove Judaism and Christianity apart: the expulsion of Jews from Rome (49 CE), the destruction of the Temple (70 CE), and the Bar Kokhba revolt (135 CE)The Septuagint, Isaiah 7:14, and how competing authoritative texts shaped competing interpretationsReading the Hebrew Bible as a dance and dialogue rather than a prophecy-fulfillment checklistABOUT THE GUESTSeth Whitaker is a New Testament scholar who completed his PhD at the University of St Andrews, where he worked with David Moffitt on the Epistle to the Hebrews. His research focuses on Christian origins and how the New Testament authors interpreted the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint. His book, Eschatology and the Use of Psalms in Hebrews: Songs for the Last Days, is published by Bloomsbury T&T Clark in the Library of Second Temple Studies.RESOURCES MENTIONEDEschatology and the Use of Psalms in Hebrews: Songs for the Last Days — Seth Whitaker (Bloomsbury T&T Clark)The Patient Ferment of the Early Church — Alan KreiderPrevious episode of The UpWords Podcast with AJ Levine on Jewish and Christian readings of ScriptureSend us Fan MailCONNECT WITH USSubscribe to The UpWords Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and visit slbf.org/studio to learn more about our work at the intersection of faith, the academy, and the marketplace.This episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO at Upper House.Produced by Daniel Johnson and Dave ConourEdited by Dave Conour

His enthusiasm for the material is clear and infectious, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.

(airdate: 5.28.26) Today in celebrity chaos, the internet is debating whether Travis Kelce should become "Travis Swift" after marrying Taylor Swift this summer . . . and honestly, fans seem surprisingly into it. Meanwhile, Hulu renewed "The Testaments" for Season 2 before the first season even ended, proving audiences still can't get enough dystopian stress television. And over in Bachelor Nation, producers are reportedly scrambling to cast the next "Bachelor," even pulling contestants from Taylor Frankie Paul's delayed "Bachelorette" season. So somewhere in Hollywood right now, executives are juggling roses, Gilead, and possible monogrammed "Swift-Kelce" towels all at the same time. Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast!

Victor returns with his sister Celia on Need Some Introduction to discuss the latest double-episode drop of Apple TV+ horror-comedy Widow's Bay, plus quick podcast updates (subscribe, Patreon Nolan rewatch, upcoming June releases and Cape Fear, and wrapping Euphoria and Your Friends & Neighbors). Celia shares brief thoughts on The Testaments, and they compare reactions to Widow's Bay so far, praising its character-based comedy within escalating horror, especially Patricia's standout performance. They break down Episode 6 (“Our History”), a 1702 flashback bottle episode introducing the island's origins, and Episode 7 (“Seasickness”), featuring Richard Warren exhumed alive, a tense boat escape past the island's boundary, Wick's backstory, Patricia involving Sheriff Bashir, and a final painting detail suggesting a child fell from an escape boat—fueling theories about a surviving bloodline and Patricia's possible central role.

Hanna und Adam philosophieren über Sandwiches und sprechen im SJ Weekly über die Themen der Entertainment-Industie. Dabei geht es um den Erfolg oder Misserfolg des neuen Star-Wars-Streifens, aber auch um die Trennung von einem Schauspieler bei Paramount+, dem Erfolg einem Prime-Video-Start und den neuen Taylor-Sheridan-Serien und deren Arbeitsbedigungen in Montana und Texas. Eine Netflix-Serie endet endgültig und eine Disney-Serie geht weiter. Während eine Sci-Fi-Animationsserie ewig laufen könnte. Im Reviewteil (und manchmal schon kurz davor) geht es um „Off Campus“, „Dutton Ranch“ und den Abschied von Stephen Colbert. Adam hat eine spannende Podcast-Folge mit dem Star aus „The OC“ dabei, der jetzt Crypto-Krikter ist.

THE TESTAMENTS – “Marat Sade” – As Daisy steps into a new role, she considers what she's willing to lose to help her friends. (Disney/Russ Martin)CHASE INFINITI The shortest episode of the season, but maybe the most layered. Right off the bat, Caroline and Paul dissect this episode’s name and what its use may imply. Some hints: it’s actually a derivation of a much longer name – The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade, and it involves the French Revolution, an asylum, the Marquis de Sade, and the murder of a revolutionary. Go check out the Wikipedia entry for the movie based on the play here or about the play itself here. This is our favorite kind of episode to take apart and discuss all of the different parts that make it stand out. The deep title, the visual motifs, the foreshadowing – this episode had a LOT for the viewers to chew on and in one of the longest podcasts of this series so far, Paul and Caroline certainly have full… mouths? I’m not sure that metaphor works. We would never physically chew into the microphone during a podcast. I just mean to say that the podcast is dense this week.

Lucy Halliday lied her way into her first audition, went to medical school convinced acting would never happen for her, and is now starring opposite Elizabeth Moss in the sequel to ‘The Handmaid's Tale'. Lucy's journey to playing the rebel Pearl Girl Daisy in ‘The Testaments' has been anything but straightforward.  In this chat with Josh, Lucy opens up about landing only her third professional job, what it was like to film her first week on set with Elizabeth Moss, and the life-changing advice James McAvoy gave her on the set of California Schemin' that has become her mantra. She also talks candidly about growing up without drama school training and why she would never call herself an actor until very recently. Lucy gets into why The Testaments feel so urgent right now, why the line between the show and reality is terrifyingly thin, and what she thinks needs to change to make young women safer in society today. Oh, and she tells the full story of hyperventilating in Margaret Atwood's face, sitting elbow to elbow with her watching the first episodes back, and what Margaret pulled out of her bag at lunch that nobody was expecting…

Diana and Sam break down The Testaments Episode 8, "Broken," an emotionally devastating chapter centered on heartbreak, trauma, and the quiet acts of solidarity that push back against Gilead's control. From Agnes's painful match to Commander Weston and the symbolic plate-breaking ritual, to Daisy's desperate attempt to hide her period and avoid being married off, this episode explores what it means to be "broken" in both literal and emotional ways. Diana and Sam discuss Agnes's unraveling as she faces both personal loss and buried trauma, Daisy's growing panic and shifting purpose, and the heartbreaking bravery of Hulda as she speaks out against Dr. Grove. They also dive into the surprising depth of Shunammite, Aunt Lydia's subtle but significant shift, and the many ways the girls support one another in a world designed to keep them silent. Plus, a quick spotlight on the haunting use of "Sweet Jane" by Cowboy Junkies during one of Agnes's most revealing moments. What does Broken really mean in this episode, damage, survival, or the beginning of resistance?

Reposted from The Handmaid's Tale Podcast: The Testaments, which you can find and subscribe to at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-handmaids-tale-podcast  — So much conflict and tension is being sown in this show, with Agnes' crush Garth courting Becka, who loves Agnes;  Agnes' suitor Weston closing in on Daisy as the leader of the Eyes; and Daisy the anti-Gilead-spy getting closer to Agnes, who thinks anti-Gilead spies want to kill her.

Emmy-winning actress, Ann Dowd joins Matt Wilstein for a fascinating, funny, and revealing conversation about returning as Aunt Lydia in The Testaments, the highly anticipated sequel to The Handmaid's Tale. She opens up about finally learning Lydia's backstory, why she never sees the character as a villain, and what it's been like playing one of television's most unforgettable roles for nearly a decade. Dowd also reflects on the eerie real-world parallels between The Handmaid's Tale and today's politics, winning the Emmy for her iconic performance, and stepping back into Gilead so soon after the original series ended. Plus, she shares behind-the-scenes memories from beloved projects like The Leftovers, Freaks and Geeks, Girls, Hacks, and more, making this a must-watch interview with one of the most talented actresses working today.

We have the dean of Daddy Academy himself, Niko Emanuilidis, back on GGE to spill all the tea on the male POV. We talk about low effort dating (does a coffee date mean he's not interested?), why guys don't confirm a date the day of, how long a dating break should last, and if you can win someone back once they've pulled away. Then we dive into the four phases of dating someone (essentially the first three months) and we LOVE this conversation and breakdown – how each phase should play out, what you should find out about a potential partner in each phase, how things change after sex, why and how men “vet backwards,” when to discuss being official, the difference between being exclusive and being boyfriend/girlfriend (we debate this one!), and the point at which you should call it if things aren't clear. Before Niko joins us, Ashley reveals a regretful thing she did at the airport and Rayna headlined a sushi restaurant unintentionally. Enjoy!
