As summer kicks off, a fresh wave of films is hitting screens big and small. Vulture film critic Alison Willmore joins us to break down her list of films to see in the next few weeks, from "Superman" to "The Naked Gun."
In this Junk Filter sequel to our discussion of season 1 of Tony Gilroy's Star Wars: Andor streaming series, the writers Roxana Hadadi and Corey Atad return to assess the second and final season, which compresses the four years leading up to the start of Rogue One into four sets of three-episode arcs.On this episode we discuss the program's political content and Gilroy's refusal to play Culture War games during the promotion of the series. We cover the controversial first arc of the series which parallels the plans of the Empire with the Final Solution of the Nazi era, as they flood the galaxy with propaganda to demonize a planet they plan to colonize, and how a fascist regime uses sexual violence and unwitting dupes who think they're serving a greater good through their collaboration. And we talk about the upsetting eighth episode of season 2 which depicts a massacre on the “French Planet” of Ghorman, clearly modelled on Nazi-occupied France in World War II, which of course has parallels both to Gaza and the Trump Era.Plus: the fates of the show's ‘Power Couple' Dedra and Syril, the barnburning Saw Gerrara monologue, and Tony Gilroy's illuminating interview with Ross Douthat, who is determined in their discussion to tag Andor (and Michael Clayton) as ‘left wing art' and fails miserably.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

More than a decade after his sudden passing, James Gandolfini still exerts a powerful pull on television and film enthusiasts around the world. His charismatic portrayal of complex, flawed, but always human men illuminated the contradictions in all of us, as well as our potential for grace, and the power of love and family. This new biography from Bailey is based on extensive research and original reporting, including interviews with friends and collaborators.In GANDOLFINI, Bailey traces the twinned stories of the man and the unforgettable roles he played. Gandolfini's roots were working class, raised in northern New Jersey as the son of Italian immigrants, and acting was something he loved for a long time before he could see it as a career. It wasn't until he was well into his bohemian twenties that he dedicated himself to a life on the stage and screen.Bailey follows Gandolfini's rise, from bit parts to character roles he enlivened with menace and vulnerability, to Tony Soprano, the breakout role that would make him a legend, and onto a post-Sopranos career in which he continued to challenge himself and his audience. The result is the definitive biography on the man behind Tony Soprano and the actor beyond that one role. Jason Bailey is a film critic and historian and the author of six books, including Fun City Cinema: New York City and the Movies That Made It, Pulp Fiction: The Complete Story of Quentin Tarantino's Masterpiece, and his latest, Jim and Tony: The Life and Art of James Gandolfini, out in April 2025 from ABRAMS Press. A graduate of NYU's Cultural Reporting and Criticism program, his essays and reviews have appeared in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Bloomberg, Vulture, Rolling Stone, The Playlist, Slate, TIME, and more. He is a member of the New York Film Critics Circle and the Critics Choice Association, the editor-in-chief of Crooked Marquee, and co-host of the podcasts “Guide for the Film Fanatic,” ”A Very Good Year” and “Fun City Cinema.”
I've been pre-scheduling podcast episodes this summer &, forgetting that we are now living in a time of anything goes chaos in the U.S., last week's conversation wound up publishing in the hours after the news involving Iran. Hopefully anyone who knows me knows that I wouldn't normally pivot from major world news to self-promotion but I still wanted to take this opportunity to apologize for any confusion or insensitivity that the accidentally ill-timed new episode caused. To make up for that gaffe, I thought I'd deliver this third conversation in our summer suite of episodes devoted to Physical Media early, just in case you're heading to the airport or about to unplug for the next week or so since it's a big time for summer travel here in the states. (So far, nothing Earth-shattering has happened that I'm aware of as I type this but as a friend joked, it's getting harder & harder to find a day without a catastrophe.) In any case, may this be a distraction for you. In last week's new Watch With Jen, we led you down the dark streets of neo-noir. This installment is centered on American independent filmmakers (or in the case of Billy Wilder, very independently minded ones) & is devoted to matters of the heart. Kicking things off, VULTURE's brilliant TV critic & Peabody Awards juror Roxana Hadadi joins me to discuss Sean Baker's Oscar winning ANORA, SAINT OF THE NARROWS STREET novelist William Boyle returns to tackle CHOOSE ME by one of his favorite filmmakers Alan Rudolph, & I reunite with the knowledgeable film essayist Peter Avellino to talk about the magic of Billy Wilder's SOME LIKE IT HOT. Emotional, sparkling, & warm, I know this conversation will delight. Thanks so much for listening!

It's rom-com rewatch time! We head back to 1990 Los Angeles for a beautiful tale about a sex worker (Julia Roberts) being lifted up into wealth, privilege and classiness by a corporate raider with a heart of gold (Richard Gere). It's the ultimate capitalistic fairy tale, dreaming up a ruthless investor who has amassed millions by destroying things – but who actually has a soft heart, principles, and a deep yearning to be loved. Comedian Josh Gondelman (host of the upcoming YouTube special “Positive Reinforcement”) joins for a beat-by-beat journey through the Rapunzel-Cinderella-Pygmalion Frankenstein that made Julia Roberts a star.

The crew welcomes Dev Cannon, who exemplifies the CAF mission by going from aviation newcomer to Music City Wing Commander in just a few years, leading 70 volunteers in preserving warbird history. Dev explains how the CAF's 19,000 international members keep aviation heritage alive through everything from flyovers at memorial services to introducing kids to aviation, proving that "if you show up at an event and say, how can I participate? Like you're in." The organization welcomes everyone—pilots, mechanics, historians, and aviation enthusiasts—because as Dev notes, they "can use all the hands they can get." The episode highlights their PT-19 "Miss Cornelia," named after local aviation pioneer Cornelia Fort, and how these living history lessons help veterans and families share stories that might otherwise be lost. Ben discovers breakfast so good at Guntersville that he's "considering buying a junker and donating it to the airport," while celebrating his landing redemption with the signature "kid rock arrival." Ted's camping plans crater with three shredded tubes, Brian defends "Bachelorette Super Charlie" terminology, and everyone agrees that whether you want to maintain aircraft, research history, or just "ring wars" to draw crowds, the CAF provides meaningful ways to give back to aviation while connecting with our flying heritage.Mentioned on the show:Ted's video about tire travails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VsDs_ZVDEQ8A1 - Guntersville Alabama: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guntersville_Municipal_AirportHomecoming & Company, Guntersville Alabama: https://homecomingandco.com/airportcrewcars- Alabama: https://airportcourtesycars.com/alabama/Savannah Georgia airport: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savannah/Hilton_Head_International_AirportThe Rehearsal, Vulture interview that discusses Killing Zone: https://archive.ph/Ft43GM54 - Lebanon Airport: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon_Municipal_Airport_(Tennessee)Commemorative Air Force Music City Wing: https://www.cafmusiccity.org/Fairchild PT-19: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_PT-19CAF Music City's PT-19: https://www.commemorativeairforce.org/aircraft/196Who was Cornelia Fort? https://commemorativeairforce.org/news/cornelia-fort-a-legacy-of-courage-takes-flightSNJ4 (Navy T-6): https://commemorativeairforce.org/aircraft/85CAF Peachtree City: https://airbasegeorgia.org/Support the Podcast:Join our amazing Patreon community for just $1/month and get access to exclusive content, check ride debriefs, and the best pilot community on the internet.
