Podcasts about Vulture

There’s a lot to enjoy about The Weight: the tactile 1930s Oregon setting, strong performances from Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe, a premise that allows for multiple suspense sequences. But Padraic McKinley’s directorial debut is arguably lacking in thematic heft and visceral grit, particularly when compared to the other film in this pairing. So after considering how The Weight succeeds and struggles on its own terms, we bring William Friedkin’s 1977 cult classic Sorcerer back in to consider how these two films about desperate men given a deadly opportunity differ in their approach to flawed protagonists, bridge-based action scenes, and lone female characters of consequence, and the one plot hole they have in common. Then our returning guest, Vulture critic Roxana Hadadi, offers a Your Next Picture Show recommendation for another 2026 film involving the transportation of dangerous cargo, The Rivals of Amziah King. Please share your thoughts about Sorcerer, The Weight, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Five years after her first appearance on Switched on Pop, Carly Rae Jepsen returns to the podcast to talk all things Day and Night, her latest album. Born out of Swedish disco, big emotion, and substantive life change – including becoming a wife and a mother – the double album is a tour through the organic and the synthetic, both in equal measure. For Charlie and Nate, this is a full circle moment, and along with discussing the record, the two talk to Jepsen about the origins of the show, her songwriting process, and what it means to be such an important champion of pop music.

Margaret Cho stops by Steph Infection and delivers what is officially the grossest story ever told on this podcast, the one that finally made Steph gag on mic. Steph and Margaret get into being each other's Daniel Webb connection, why Margaret hasn't gone to a Hollywood party since the aughts, bangs and Botox as an anti-aging program, Forensic Files guilt and whether true crime is a cautionary tale for women or just somebody else's tragedy, the night a 500-pound man in a tow truck tried to talk a teenage Margaret into coming with him and how she knew to run, restraining orders being useless paper, threesomes being for cucks and having too many smells, the semen-is-bleach debate that got Steph called crazy on Bob the Drag Queen's podcast, the blowjob that earned a hotel suite upgrade in Charleston, Margaret's splinter that went so deep into her foot it required surgery and came out looking like a wine cork crossed with a bay scallop that she then asked to eat, toenails that grew UP like little hamburger patties from 1970s swimming pool fungus, toenail removal and nail bed cauterization, plantar warts, hemorrhoids, the 5% cream that actually works, Steph's extremely short taint, Scott Thompson cutting out his own plantar wart in a Banff cabin with vodka and scissors, why chihuahuas are the second most euthanized breed, the person reselling sidewalk gum in fake packaging, and Margaret's first special in twelve years, filming this November.

Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo's new album ESTRUS can be summarized in the opening lyrics of the album's closing track, “source of life”: “Feral, fragile, numb, ecstatic / sad, euphoric, catatonic / Horny, repulsed, proud and shameful / Good, demonic, contradictions.”  A songwriter with a string of multi-platinum hits in the 2010s, Tove Lo has crafted a career founded on musical contradiction, with songs that straddle the line between messy and controlled. Her lyrics tend to skew both horny and sensitive, and her latest record features both of those vibes in equal measure. On this episode of Switched on Pop, Charlie and Nate sit down with her to talk all things ESTRUS.  CREDITS  Reanna Cruz: Producer  Iris Gottlieb: Illustrator  Charlie Harding: Host, Executive Producer  Dion Lee: Art Director  Brandon McFarland: Audio Engineer  Nick Ripps: Video Editor  Nate Sloan: Host  Lissa Soep: Editor  Zach Tenorio & Jocie Adams: Theme Composers  Switched On Pop is a co-production of Vox Media Podcast Network, Vulture, and Rock Ridge Productions.

Throughout pop history, groups from The Ink Spots to the Beach Boys to Fleetwood Mac all forged their sound in the alchemy of vocal harmonies, harnessing the magic that happens when different voices join as one. Then suddenly, right around the 1980s, vocal harmonies started to wane in pop. Whether it was Michael Jackson creating a new model of the solo star, music technology making the voice more like an instrument, or simply audiences wanting a new sound, today the art of vocal harmony is hard to find on the charts. But bands like Tiny Habits, whose originals and covers showcase intricate and delicate harmonies, are bringing the sound back to the people, with a message that everyone needs to sing more, and to sing together.

By the time Michael Peterson went to trial, the case had attracted national attention, particularly after details about his personal life came to light, particularly his numerous affairs with men. The case gained even more attention when it was learned that, in 1985, Michael Peterson's friend Elizabeth Ratliff died under very similar circumstances to those of his wife. With significant evidence against him and no compelling argument for his innocence, Michael Peterson was found guilty of his wife's murder in 2003. But, as it turned out, that was hardly the end of the story.ReferencesAssociated Press. 2002. "Durham novelist insists wife's death caused by fall on stairs, not beating."

When Kathleen Peterson died in December 2001, it was assumed her death had been the result of an accidental fall down the stairs after combining alcohol and Valium. However, within a few weeks, suspicion fell on Kathleen's husband, Michael, after the medical examiner concluded that Kathleen's injuries were consistent with assault, not an accidental fall.By the time Michael Peterson went to trial, the case had attracted national attention, particularly after details about his personal life came to light. The case gained even more attention when it was learned that, in 1985, Michael Peterson's friend Elizabeth Ratliff died under very similar circumstances to those of his wife.

Brian Moylan, author of The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives and Vulture's Housewives Institute Bulletin, joins Kate to discuss why Real Housewives of Orange County has become such a frustrating show, from the endless cast trips to how little we see of the women's actual lives. They also break down the latest episode of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, NeNe Leakes' return to Bravo, the feud between Amanda Cronin and Juliet Angus on The Real Housewives of London, and what Tracy Tutor and Leah Remini could bring to the next season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Jared Freid joins Steph to talk about his new Netflix hour The Family Plan, an entire special built out of his dad asking him how much he weighs at the beach. This leads to the two of them immediately spiraling into parent damage. Steph explains how she blew $900 on a one-way Air Canada ticket to escape her parents' cottage after getting screamed at over her parents' dog's diarrhea ("not my dog, not my problem"), then details her mom's $30,000-and-climbing stone slab renovation and the "there goes my inheritance" joke she landed ten times in three days while the neighbors ate it up. Jared gets into his dad stealing country club cups and demanding they come off the internet, boomer parents who hit a triple and think they landed on third, his mom telling him to just call Jimmy Fallon, and his dad asking a topsoil guy if he watches Netflix. From there it's Palm Beach International becoming Trump International Airport, personality T-shirts at the airport, the older gentleman who came to his show alone in an "I eat pussy" shirt, the Mel Robbins interview that went badly, and a long honest run on GLP-1s, his dad offering him Ozempic at dinner, the 80-year-old golf buddy who sold him on it, and the Monday morning Carney Wilson handed him a Biscoff cake at Jeff Lewis Live. Plus: where would you put a third arm, Steph refusing to become Steph McDonald, Jared's brother coaching the Bears, all dressed chip discourse, and the local chip, local mustard rider.
