    In the Queue: March 2026 Recommendations, Concert Film Debates & Watchlist Shuffles for Female Directed Films

    Welcome to In The Queue, a new show in The Rolling Tape network of podcasts that answers the question “What should I watch this weekend?” Every month, we line up what’s in theaters, what’s headlining our watchlists, and what we recommend adding to yours. From the big screen to streaming, we discuss what we are currently watching and what you might want to add to your queue. So grab your popcorn, clear some space in the queue, and let’s press play. For our March 2026 edition and kickoff episode, we break down what movies are streaming, screening, and most importantly, worth adding to your watchlist. To keep our own watchlists in check, we end with a recommendation game where we randomly select a movie from each other’s Letterboxd watchlists to watch before the next episode. This month we choose our genres and only select female-directed titles. Listen next month to hear our reports.

    The Awards Tape: The History of the Science Fiction Genre at the Academy Awards & Project Hail Mary Awards Assessment

    We're in the weekend of Project Hail Mary as it's opening successfully at the box office as the Lord and Miller directed sci-fi saga has launched to an $80 million domestic gross. It's received an A Cinema score, 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 4.4 on Letterboxd, and a 77 Metacritic score. All the signs seem to be pointing towards not just the biggest crowd pleaser of the year, but possibly an awards contender. That's partially what this episode will focus on, but we'll also take a deep dive into the relationship the Academy has had with the science fiction genre. The science fiction genre is tricky, as there's a plethora of examples where it's been nominated in many categories, but missed major above the line categories. But that's what we're focusing on today, Project Hail Mary as a possible awards contender, and the science fiction genre's success at the Oscars throughout history.  On this episode: Danny Jarabek Paul Rai Support the show Subscribe for Early Access and Video: The Rolling Tape Patreon Listen Here: Spotify Apple Podcasts All Listening Platforms Have questions?

    The Rolling Remote: Euphoria (S1)

    It's almost time for Euphoria Sundays once again. Today, we are kicking off a brand new retrospective series on HBO's Euphoria. With the show returning for a new season on April 12th for Season 3, we'll be going back and revisiting each of the two previous seasons leading up to the premiere.  Premiering on HBO in 2019, Euphoria was created by filmmaker Sam Levinson and quickly became one of HBO's biggest cultural phenomena known for its striking visual style, bold storytelling, and unflinching depiction of teenage life in the digital age. At the center of the series is Zendaya, as Rue Bennett, a teenager struggling with addiction, who becomes both the show's protagonist and narrator. Surrounding Rue is a sprawling ensemble that includes Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, Sydney Sweeney, Barbie Ferreira, Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, and Algee Smith.  Season One ultimately earns Zendaya the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, making her the youngest winner in the category at the time.  On this episode: Jake Fittipaldi Danny Jarabek Ethan Dayton Support the show Subscribe for Early Access and Video: The Rolling Tape Patreon Listen Here: Spotify Apple Podcasts All Listening Platforms Have questions?

  8. The Rolling Remote: The Pitt (S2, Episodes 1-10)

    MAR 17

    The Rolling Remote: The Pitt (S2, Episodes 1-10)

    The Pitt is a medical procedural drama television series created by R. Scott Gemmill, and executive produced by John Wells and Noah Wyle after the same group collaborate on ER. It stars Wyle, Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, and Shabana Azeez.  Each season of the series follows emergency department staff as they attempt to overcome the hardships of a single 15-hour work shift at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, all while having to navigate staff shortages and underfunding. Each episode covers approximately one hour of the work shift. Today we are diving back in to the chaos of HBO's Emmy-award winning medical drama which returned earlier this year with its second season. Season One established the show's real time ER structure and introduced us to the staff working in one of the most chaotic emergency rooms on television. Season Two has kept that formula going, but has continued to raise the stakes significantly. We have some new doctors, new relationships. We have the hospital experimenting with AI systems. By the time we reach episode 10, the ER is in complete chaos with one of its most intense crises. Today we're breaking down those first ten episodes of Season Two of The Pitt.  On this episode: Jake Fittipaldi Adam Patla Bobbi Miller Des Mack Patrick Regal Support the show Subscribe for Early Access and Video: The Rolling Tape Patreon Listen Here: Spotify Apple Podcasts All Listening Platforms Have questions?
