Hip-hop LEGENDS collide in this unforgettable interview from Tribeca Festival 2025!
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE GREAT in Theaters now!Director Jon S BairdWriter Steven RogersThe Smart family's life takes a dramatic turn when tragedy forces them to confront their oversized dreams, struggles with identity and chaotic regional theater life. As theater manager parents (Allison Janney and Bryan Cranston) work to support their two sons — a hunky football star (Jack Champion) and his flamboyant, theater-loving younger brother (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) — unexpected circumstances compel them to move in with Janney's estranged brother (Chris Cooper). What begins as a temporary arrangement soon unravels years of familial tension, prompting each member to reevaluate their place in the world and in their relationships.Director Jon S. Baird orchestrates this warmly observant comedy-drama with a perfect balance of sharp humor and poignant family dynamics. The powerhouse cast delivers nuanced performances, with Janney and Cranston demonstrating once again why they are among the most versatile actors working today. Their chemistry grounds the film's journey through artistic ambition and life's unexpected detours, while Cooper adds layers of complexity as the long-estranged brother. Beyond its headline-grabbing ensemble, the film's tender exploration of how families navigate change and disappointment resonates with authenticity as these deeply human characters stumble toward reconciliation and renewal in this stirring celebration of life's messy beauty.—Jarod NeeceDirector Jon S.

Watch This Episode On YouTubeWatch SOVEREIGN NowSOVEREIGN (2025) is a filmmakers' thriller and the story behind its director, my guest, Christian Swegal, is one of the best in independent film this year. The reason that so many investors are reluctant to back a new director for their first feature is one of skepticism — they think the director won't be able to handle the responsibility. And when you add in powerhouse actors like Nick Offerman and Dennis Quaid, it's fair to expect a watered-down mush of a film which critics and audiences would chalk up to, well, it was a first time feature director.That's not the fate for Christian. Critics are talking about how it is perhaps Nick Offerman's best career performance, a sublime take on a man lost in the Sovereign citizen movement, and we are here today talking about how the hell did he pull it off…and with such swagger. In this episode, Christian and I discuss:Should you Google the story behind SOVEREIGN?What should people expect to see when they watch the film? “It's a character study of this man and his relationship with his son”;How he was able to make such an accomplished film for his debut feature?What he owes the real-life characters and the viewers when writing an “inspired by true events” story?How the film is a filmmaker's thriller with the little motifs in the film, and he'll explain the baby motif in the film;The brilliant casting of Nick Offerman in this film;Not getting hung up on casting -- a fantastic script will attract talented people to your film;The process of funding the film, including the use of Slated ad tax rebates;How it went from Tribeca to distribution within a few months;Advice he'd give somebody directing their first feature?“When in charge, be in charge” and how he implemented his vision no matter what;What he's working on next — “I'm drawn to true stories”Christian's Indie Film Highlight: SUNDOWN (2021) dir. by Michel Franco; MEMORY (2023) dir. by Michel FrancoMemorable Quotes:“ If people engage with the movie to the degree that they're interested to go and Google the real events I think that's a good sign.”“ The movie will be for some people and not for other people. And that's fine. It's better to be polarizing in that way. I think for a movie our size than it is to try to please every audience and to a degree.”“Or how you relate to a baby. It shows how you relate to something that's innocent and pure and really it's a stand in for empathy.”“ My advice to filmmakers that I wish I had earlier was just don't wait. Focus on your material and on the story and then just go.”“ Every single person we talk to along the way, in pre-production through production, through the end of it, had their spin on how they would fix the thing and make it different. And that's what's great. And when they direct their movie, then they can do their version of it.”Links:Follow Christian On InstagramFollow SOVEREIGN On InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

In 2020, Kris made her network directing debut on the NBC comedy “Superstore.” Pitch-black comedy “Public Domain,” Kris' audacious audience-award-winning feature debut about a surveillance-based game show, was hailed as "creepy-funny and well-acted" (Variety), and "an assured debut" (Austin Chronicle). The film premiered at SXSW and was installed at Art Basel Miami. Lefcoe's stop motion short “Tiny Riot Project,” featuring a riot squad of corporate mascots in a violent face off with endearing anarchists, premiered at IFF Rotterdam, was installed at Galerie Tomas Schulte Berlin, Havana Biennale, and Art Basel Miami, then sold to the Sundance Channel. Her acclaimed Twilight Zone-esque short “Can I Get a Witness?” starring Scott Speedman, screened at TIFF, BFI and Anthology Film Archives.

Ep. 332: Amy Taubin on Cloud, Tribeca (I Was Born This Way, Happy Birthday, Shadow Scholars), Twin Peaks, Outrageous, plus Mountainhead Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The summer may have technically begun, but it's not truly the summer without our annual June-July-ish kick-off: a podcast with critic Amy Taubin! Once again she brings a selection of highlights gleaned from the Tribeca, including prize-winners and otherwise: I Was Born This Way (directed by Daniel Junge and Sam Pollard), Natchez (Suzannah Herbert), The Shadow Scholars (Eloise King), Cuerpo Celeste (Nayra Ilic García), Happy Birthday (Sarah Goher), and the delightful Lion King doc Runa Simi (Augusto Zegarra), with my chiming in about The Scout (Paula González-Nasser). But wait, that's not all: Amy also talks about Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cloud (coming to U.S. theaters on July 18); her recent work on Twin Peaks, with a remarkable personal connection to David Lynch's work; and Outrageous, the very resonant TV series about the Mitford sisters. Plus: I ramble a bit about the latest movies from Celine Song, Materialists, and from Danny Boyle, 28 Years Later, as well as Jeremy Strong's feature-film directorial debut, the tech-bro-apocalypse satire Mountainhead.

When your last name is Spielberg, there's naturally a certain legacy, but our guest today is Destry Allyn Spielberg, a talented director and actor who's confidently stepping into her own light, proving her unique voice and vision away from her famous father Steven Spielberg. You might know Destry from her acting roles, including her memorable performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's critically acclaimed "Licorice Pizza," as well as her work in the HBO limited series "I Know This Much Is True." She's also appeared in independent films like "Mass Hysteria." But it's in the director's chair where she's really been making waves. Destry's demonstrated a keen eye for storytelling with her striking short films "Rosie" (which she also acted in) and "Let Me Go the Right Way," which premiered at Tribeca and earned praise for its compelling narrative and performances. And now, she's made her highly anticipated feature directorial debut with the chilling psychological thriller, "Please Don't Feed the Children." This film, written by Paul Bertino, plunges us into a post-apocalyptic world where a deadly virus has targeted adults, leaving a group of orphans searching for safety. The cinematography, handled by Shane Sigler, the cast include Michelle Dockery from "Downton Abbey" in a uniquely villainous role, alongside the brilliant Giancarlo Esposito from "Breaking Bad," and a talented young ensemble including Zoe Colletti, Andrew Liner, Dean Scott Vazquez, Regan Aliyah, Emma Meisel, Joshuah Melnick, and Vernon Davis. Destry Allyn Spielberg is an exciting new voice, building a remarkable body of work that stands on its own merits, while undeniably carrying that incredible filmmaking DNA.

Olivia Murphy-Rogers joins Justin for an extra-special episode of TCBCast as they trace the real history behind the song "Frankie and Johnny," the title track of Elvis's 1966 film. They learn who Frankie Baker was, the man who "done her wrong," the song she couldn't escape, and the identity of the most likely songwriting candidate to have penned the original folk lyrics - on the very day of the true murder. The duo also react to the news about Sony's upcoming "Sunset Boulevard" box set recently announced that will encompass studio recordings from 1972, 1975 and rehearsals from 1970 and 1974, all done at RCA Studios on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Justin has first impressions of the "Harum Scarum Sessions" FTD set, and then the two take a little time discussing Riley Keough and Gina Gammell's "In Process" short films for Tribeca; not just the one everyone else saw, "Chapter 1: Writing" which was filmed at Graceland and stars Riley herself narrating a short essay about her writing process for both film generally and more specifically about "From Here to the Great Unknown," but also the other two less-appreciated Chapters, "A Self Tape" and "Shooting A Scene," all of which were also co-directed by Riley. Justin's Song of the Week is a breezy listen to "The Meanest Girl in Town" from Girl Happy - and Olivia's Song of the Week IS our main topic! FYI - this episode does intentionally end without a proper "sign-off." If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast. Your support allows us to continue to provide thoughtful, provocative, challenging and well-researched perspectives on Elvis's career, his peers and influences, and his cultural impact and legacy.

Allyson Felix is the most decorated Olympic track and field athlete in history. But when she got pregnant, her sponsor Nike said her value had declined. The new documentary from directors Perri Peltz and Matthew O'Neill is called “She Runs The World” tells the story of her fight for fair pay. It's a Spotlight Documentary at this year's Tribeca Film Festival.
In this episode, host Richard Roeper honors the passing of music icon Sly Stone and the legacy of Brian Wilson. Plus, we unpack the retirement of an unsung “SNL” legend and discuss Miley Cyrus's heated Tribeca appearance where fans expected a concert—and let her know it.

Jennifer's Body is a cult classic. And like most cult classics, there are lots of rumors around it. We think it is okay, but there are fans out there who absolutely love the 2009 film. Every few years, talk of a sequel heats up before going away. This time, there seems to be more truth to the rumors. We have mixed opinions about Robert Eggers working on A Christmas Carol. On one hand we enjoy both. Eggers is a master at his craft and the Charles Dickens work is the seminal Christmas ghost story. But we are tired of seeing remakes. There are plenty of A Christmas Carol adaptations. And while most of them are awesome, do we really need another?You do not have to watch too many vampire movies before you come across one that deals with addiction. It is up there with “vampire who does not want to kill” and “vampire hunter who is part vampire” when it comes to topics. Bleeding may not tread new ground, but it still manages to be captivating.It can be a difficult watch, but what movie about addiction isn't? Strong performances overcome the flawed writing and the idea of what is happening is an interesting one. It would have been nice if the lore was examined more, however. And what's the deal with introducing the villain an hour into the film?We have covered Tribeca the past few years and have been lucky enough to see some great horror movies. This year, we are doing something different. Gonzo Girl is the film adaptation of a book about an assistant who spends a summer with the father of Gonzo journalism.It instead becomes a story about an aspiring writer pulled into the orbit of a bigger than life figure. In the process the story about the young assistant is mishandled. But maybe that is the point? Gonzo Girl is a fun movie, but it could have been so much more.

Good horror films should terrify audiences with memorable monsters and eerie effects, but great horror will also fearlessly tackle timely issues with complex characters and impactful resolve. This is exactly what Tina Romero does in her feature debut, “Queens of the Dead,” with her talented team of collaborators. Though she never expected to make a movie about zombies, the title makes for a beautiful nod to her dad, George, aka the “Father of the Zombie Film” or “Godfather of the Dead,” while still remaining true to herself. Which, as a talented multi-hyphenate, allowed her to imbue the film with even more soul and called back to her early days as a DJ. She speaks to the collective energy music fosters, how her DJ name added another layer to the film's setting, and how Kesha became the ideal voice for a queer-coded apocalyptic battle cry. Romero joined me for a lively, revealing interview along with producer Natalie Metzger and actors Tomás Matos (Fire Island, Fantasmas) and Julie J before the film's premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. They all expressed their overwhelming excitement for working on a project that was as unapologetically queer and richly imagined, and were quick to hype up their sensational co-stars, including: Katy O'Brian, Jaquel Spivey, Riki Lindhome, Margaret Cho, Quincy Dunn-Baker, Jack Haven, Nina West, Dominique Jackson, and Cheyenne Jackson. Furthermore, they credit the makeup designer Christina Grant, hair department head Mitchell Beck, and costume designer David Tabbert for creating unforgettable looks that quite literally slay the house down boots. The effortless rapport in the following recording and seen on-screen is a direct result of the entire team cultivating a sense of community and tolerance. Attacks against the LGBTQ+ community continue every day and this film is a testament that having an open dialogue and fighting back with kindness and honesty is the only way to achieve a brighter, more accepting future.
Drew forgot his hat. Rory got recognized by voice alone. And somehow, this spirals into one of the most insightful, chaotic, and weirdly therapeutic episodes of Midjourney Fast Hours yet.This week, your two favorite Midjourney degenerates talk AI's messy evolution, why --sref still hits, and what to really expect from Midjourney's upcoming video model (spoiler: temper your expectations, but get excited anyway). They go deep on the “magic” Midjourney still has, how it's quietly winning by being fun, and the lesser-known ways people are turning AI content into passive income.There's also a live yearbook unboxing, a nostalgic look at 8fps video from 2023, and at least three moments where someone says, “we're not shills… but also, please sponsor us.”Welcome to the pod that's equal parts therapy session, product breakdown, and test lab.---⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour[00:00] Childhood Hat Trauma & Hairline Insecurities[02:40] Feeling Swamped by AI Everything[05:00] Choosing What Tools to Actually Keep Up With[06:25] The Most Open Dev Teams in AI Right Now[08:10] Midjourney Listener Recognition IRL[10:50] The Great Freepik Pivot (RIP Stock Photography)[14:30] Traditional Creatives Are Entering the AI Chat[16:50] Why Video Still Isn't for Everyone[18:40] The Playground Mentality Behind Midjourney[20:10] Midjourney as a Post-Work Creative Brain Dump[21:40] Runway, Tribeca & the Real Momentum Shift[23:10] Not Shills… but Midjourney Should Sponsor Us[25:45] Monetizing Midjourney in 2025: Then vs. Now[28:00] The Rise of AI Clippers and Remix Culture[31:00] Passive Income Mindset for Creatives[33:00] Affiliate Marketing: The Real AI Monetization Lane[36:00] Office Hours: Midjourney's Video Model Breakdown[40:00] Will MJ Video Match Its Image Model's Magic?[44:50] Conversation Mode: Underhyped but Solid[47:00] Pose Control: Mechanics > Actions[49:20] Why Most People Give Up on Precision Prompting[51:20] Midjourney Video Wishlist (Stylize, SREF, UX)[55:30] Live Yearbook Unboxing + Book Hoarder Confessions[58:15] Nostalgia Check: Watching 2023 Pika Footage[01:03:11] Upscaling Video: Reflections, Glares & Micro Details[01:06:00] SREF Upgrades & Community Features Wishlist[01:09:00] No Multi-Omniref Until V8?![01:11:00] Why Midjourney Still Feels Magical[01:12:00] 41 Episodes Later: Still Not Boring---

Filmmakers Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman join No Film School's GG Hawkins to discuss their chilling feature debut Man Finds Tape, premiering in the “Escape from Tribeca” section at the 2025 Tribeca Festival. The Texas-based writer-director duo explores their found-footage horror hybrid, rooted in documentary realism and intimate character drama. They dive deep into the film's decade-long evolution, DIY production tactics, narrative experimentation, and the collaborative scrappiness that made their micro-budget creature feature resonate on a grand scale. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss: How a shelved podcast idea evolved into a Tribeca-premiering feature film Using documentary experience to inform a found-footage horror aesthetic Why keeping a tight creative circle allowed for fast, agile production decisions Shooting scenes with GoPros and iPhones for final edits—and why it works Casting actors willing to dive into a highly iterative, experimental process Crafting practical and VFX-driven creature moments that elevate low-budget horror Editing techniques that treat the narrative as a real documentary-in-progress How found footage can stay emotionally grounded and narratively justified Memorable Quotes: "There cannot be a point at which the audience says, why are they still filming?" "We were willing to let it sound like shit in parts, and it ended up not having to." "We threw out a lot of the lavs and just used on-camera MiniDV audio. It felt 10 times more real." "What we make is not Peter's voice or my voice—it's a third voice." Guests: Peter S.

Send us a textMay 2025 marked a historic turning point for theatrical exhibition with box office numbers approaching $1 billion on just 128 releases – half the number required to hit that mark pre-pandemic. This stunning 75% year-over-year growth signals what could be the full recovery of theatrical moviegoing after years of uncertainty.Behind this remarkable surge were five films crossing the $100 million domestic threshold, led by Disney's surprisingly dominant "Lilo and Stitch" ($260M domestic) and Marvel's "Thunderbolts" ($180M). Perhaps most unexpected was "Final Destination: Bloodlines," the sixth entry in a long-dormant franchise that managed to earn over $200M worldwide – proving audiences still hunger for inventive horror when executed properly.The hosts dissect several recent releases, finding much to be desired in "Bring Her Back," the sophomore effort from the directors behind A24's "Talk to Me." Despite strong performances and effective sound design, the film's telegraphed storytelling undermines its potential for genuine suspense. Similarly disappointing is Guy Ritchie's "Fountain of Youth," described as a "dollar store version of Indiana Jones and National Treasure" despite its star-studded cast. Netflix's "Fear Street: Prom Queen" fares better as a fun but lesser entry in the franchise, while HBO's tech billionaire satire "Mountainhead" delivers mixed results.Looking forward, excitement builds for Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme," the Ana de Armas-led "Ballerina," and Ty West's vampire film premiering at Tribeca. The hosts also share news of Luca Guadagnino directing an AI business comedy and James Cameron tackling a dark fantasy project called "The Devils." These developments, alongside the emergence of AI-themed narratives as a distinct subgenre, reflect how cinema continues to process our collective anxieties and fascinations.Catch Alex and Max each week as they explore theatrical releases, streaming debuts, and industry developments with insight and enthusiasm that reminds us why movies still matter.Support the show

The new BritBox series "Outrageous" is based on the true story of the Mitford sisters, a group of British siblings who went on to live prominent and scandalous lives throughout Europe. One even became involved with Adolf Hitler. Writer Sarah Williams discusses the show, along with Joanna Vanderham, who stars as Diana Mitford. "Outrageous" premieres on BritBox on June 18.
Our guests are Rahul Saito and Mitsu Nagae. Rahul is the owner and Mitsu is the co-owner and executive chef at l'abeille https://www.labeille.nyc and l'abeille à côté https://www.labeilleacote.nyc/ in Tribeca, New York. The duo opened l'abeille in March 2022 and shortly after, they won a Michelin star, thanks to Mitsu's unique and outstanding culinary background as a Japanese chef classically trained in Paris, Tokyo and New York as well as Rahul's sound management despite being new to the industry. Mitsu's menus are characterized by a seamless merge of French and Japanese cuisines, which seems to have become a relevant genre in places like Paris and Japan as well. In this episode, we will discuss how Mitsu got into French cuisine from a young age in Japan and eventually trained under top chefs like the late Joel Robuchon, why the seemingly opposite French and Japanese cuisines can go so well together as you can see in Mitsu's menus, the keys to run successful restaurants in New York and much, much more!!!
A film about one man's obsessive quest to track down an orris perfume—starring Tim Heidecker, Marta Pozzan, Julia Fox, Kevin Kline, Fisher Stevens, and Gina Gershon (!!)—premieres next week at Tribeca.This week, I sit down with the visionary behind it all: filmmaker Charlotte "Charlie" Ercoli.Charlie is no newcomer to the world of perfume. She comes from a family of perfumers, and her earliest directing gigs were all perfume ads! This episode is a full-sensory treat and ends with us literally smelling a brick of orris.
