    361. Andor Season 1 (with Matt Risby)

    Star Wars is good again! Ed blows the dust off the podcast and is joined by co-host emeritus Matt Risby to talk at length about the first season of Andor, the Disney+ series created by Tony Gilroy which, against all odds, is one of the best Star Wars-related things ever. They talk about the quality of the show's writing, the way it engages with the nature of fascism, and whether Babu Frik will see jail time. Plenty of spoilers ahead, so watch out.

    360. Emily’s Leaving, Hiatus

    357. The Modern State of the Rom-Com

    This week, inspired by this interview in Anne Helen Petersen's Substack with Scott Meslow, author of From Hollywood With Love: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of the Romantic Comedy, Emily and Ed discuss the past, present and future of the romcom. Is the genre in rude health, as suggested by the increased number of them being made for streaming services? Or is it on life support, since romcoms generally don't get big theatrical releases anymore and (with some very notable exceptions) rarely break through to the broader culture as they did in their heyday of the '80s and '90s? Also, wasn't Nora Ephron the greatest? (That last one is of course rhetorical.) 00:00:00 - 00:10:11 - Intro 00:10:12 - 00:46:27 - Emily & Ed discuss the state of the 00:46:28 - 00:50:51 - SRS Recommends & Outro Links - Trainwreckords: Katy Perry's "Witness" by Todd in the Shadows, as recommended by Ed

    356. How We Would Fix the Oscars

    This week, Emily and Ed discuss the 2022 Oscar nominations, and offer suggestions for how they would fix the Oscar's ongoing popularity and identity crisis, including adding new categories, changing eligibility rules, or encouraging broader public engagement from The Academy. Note: this episode was recorded before the announcement that eight awards would not be given out as part of the main ceremony this year. Suffice it to say, that's a very bad idea for fixing what is wrong with the Oscars. 00:00:00 - 00:22:24 - Intro & News 00:22:25 - 01:04:02 - Emily & Ed talk about the Oscars and how they would fix them 01:04:03 - 01:08:34 - SRS Recommends & Outro

    355. Bad Movies We Can’t Stop Thinking About

    This week, Emily and Ed talk about the bad movies (or at least movies they really dislike) that stick with them, whether it's because they have good ideas that they execute badly, they're so perplexing that they demand more consideration just to understand why they don't work, or because everyone else insists they're good. 00:00:00 - 00:17:23 - Intro & News 00:17:24 - 00:53:30 - Emily & Ed discuss bad movies they can't stop thinking about 00:53:31 - 00:57:46 - SRS Recommends & Outro Links - The Pudding, as recommended by Emily

    354.Curation in the Streaming Age
