    Bonus: So, I Guess We’re All on Bluesky, Now?

    On this week’s exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, it’s the long-awaited Bluesky debate. Now that Twitter/X is an empty shell of its former self, millions of new users are flocking to Bluesky each week. But why are we doing this? Is it by choice? And do we have to? The hosts discuss the pros and cons of migrating over to a new, remarkably similar, platform.

    Wicked and Gladiator II in the Box Office Arena

    On this week’s show, the hosts consider ‘Glicked’ (or is it ‘Wadiator’? ‘Gladicked?’), the Wicked and Gladiator II double feature that promised to be this year’s ‘Barbenheimer.’ But did it deliver? Or even come close? First, the trio inspects Wicked, which won the weekend by a long shot (and broke a few records along the way.) At times, director Jon M. Chu’s film adaptation of the famed Broadway musical (which is, itself, an adaptation of a series of novels inspired by Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) can feel overstuffed and exhausting, but as Dana puts it in her review, “it’s so buoyant it lifts both witches-to-be, along with the audience, into the stratosphere.”  Then, the panel moves on to Gladiator II, the very belated follow-up to Ridley Scott’s 2000 Best Picture Winner. Which is… a really bad movie. No longer is the question “are you not entertained?", but “are men okay, actually?” The panel attempts to make sense of Scott’s “dismal retread” and debate whether Denzel Washington’s free reign over his character benefited the movie at large. Finally, Slate’s Dan Kois joins to discuss “The 25 Most Important Recipes of the Past 100 Years,” a wonderful and lovely mega package compiled by Kois and J. Bryan Lowder that explores the history of home cooking in America and how it’s changed over time. (Dan also cooked all 25 recipes, and then some, an epic saga which he chronicled.) In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, it’s the long-awaited Bluesky debate. Following the mass exodus from Twitter/X, the hosts discuss the pros and cons of migrating over to a new, remarkably similar, platform.  We are still taking questions for our annual call-in show! To submit your question, either leave us a voicemail at (260) 337-8260 or send us a voice note via email at culturefest@slate.com.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: A recipe perfect for Thanksgiving: Laurie Colwin’s Creamed Spinach With Jalapeño Peppers. Julia: Opal, a screen time app that blocks distractions.  Steve: “The Loudest, Brightest Thing” by Sam Huber for The New York Review. Podcast production by Jared Downing.

    On this week’s exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, Isaac Butler (author of The Method:‌ How the Twentieth Century Learned to Act) sits in for Dana.

    Lots to Say About Say Nothing

    On this week’s show, Isaac Butler (Supreme Friend of the Show and author of The Method:‌ How the Twentieth Century Learned to Act) sits in for Dana. First, the panel is quite verbose about Say Nothing, a limited series that takes place over four generations and is set during The Troubles in Northern Ireland. By dramatizing the real-life events recounted in Patrick Radden Keefe’s 2018 bestseller, the adapted limited series achieves something quite rare: enriching the original text and imbuing it with new meaning. Then, they unpack Emilia Pérez, an utterly captivating musical by writer-director Jacques Audiard that’s about gender transition, drug cartels, and becoming yourself. Finally, the trio discusses Carson the Magnificent, a new biography of the mysterious late-night pioneer that Isaac recently reviewed for The New Yorker. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel answers a listener question from James: “Are there cultural works that you fully intend to see or experience, but are waiting for an optimal way to do it?” Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Isaac: Blood Test by Charles Baxter.   Julia: Zoe Saldaña in Center Stage. Steve: Alice Neel’s appearance on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show in 1984. Podcast production by Jared Downing. Production assistance by Kat Hong.  Disclosure in Podcast Description: A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more. Learn more about your ad choices.

    You Are the Media Now

    On this week’s episode, the hosts tackle A‌ Real Pain, writer-director Jesse Eisenberg’s tale of two cousins (played by himself and Kieran Culkin) who travel to Poland to honor their late grandmother and, in the process, come to understand their family’s history through a new lens. Then, the three drop into the lush, sumptuous world of Like Water for Chocolate, Max’s new six-part limited series adapted from Laura Esquivel’s best-selling novel (which later became a critically acclaimed and internationally successful blockbuster.) Then finally, in a post 2024-election reality, do newsrooms still matter?‌ What role will journalists play over the next few years?‌ And can we solve the attention crisis in America?‌ Our panel discusses.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel dive into a simple, yet important question: How are you doing?  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: On the Media’s latest episode, “The Manosphere Celebrates a Win. Plus, M. Gessen on How to Survive an Autocracy.”  Julia: What better time than now to announce the results of the AMC Nicole Kidman poll!  Steve: “Jessica Mitford’s Escape From Facism” by Noah McCormack.  Podcast production by Jared Downing.

    Bonus: Conclave Is Not a Serious Movie

    On the exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, the panel unpacks the most interesting part of Conclave:‌ that out-of-left-field plot twist. In a classic Slate Spoiler Special, the hosts reveal their true feelings about what happens in the final three minutes of the film, and debate whether it cheapens the movie’s supposed message. Oh, and Dana makes a noise that thoroughly delights Steve towards the end of the show! That part is so fun.

    How Quincy Jones Reinvented American Music

    On this week’s show, Extremely Musical Friend of the Pod (EMFOP)‌ Chris Molanphy joins to memorialize pop’s Renaissance Man, Quincy Jones, who passed away on November 3, 2024. The legendary producer worked with every star under the sun, including Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, and Chaka Khan, and created the best-selling album in history. (“Thriller,” maybe you’ve heard of it?) Then, the trio mulls over Conclave, a sumptuous new film by director Edward Berger (All Quiet on the Western Front) about what happens when the Pope dies. It’s a fun, pulp-y romp, but does the movie have anything profound to say?‌ Finally, the panel considers Martha, a Netflix documentary about Martha Stewart’s rise to fame – and confronts all of lifestyle guru’s charms, mysteries, and borderline sociopathic tendencies. Mentioned in today’s episode:‌ Hit Parade’s “I Wanna Rock with Q“ series. Conclave review, written by Dana. In the exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, the panel unpacks the most interesting part of Conclave:‌ that out-of-left-field plot twist. Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana:‌ Will &‌ Harper on Netflix. Steve:‌ Getting lost in “Songs of a Lost World,”‌ a new album by the Cure. Chris:‌ The podcast A Very Good Year. Julia:‌ Throwing a birthday for your house; commissioning a micro-history of your home. Podcast production by Jared Downing. Production assistance by Kat Hong. Learn more about your ad choices.
