'House of the Dragon' wraps season 2 and James Cameron's 'OceanXplorers'

It seems like a lot of shows are good at keeping us waiting. That's the case with HBO's "House of the Dragon," which just wrapped its second season — with a cliffhanger, of course — and the third season likely won't be back until 2026. The first season premiered in 2022, so it looks like we're on pace for the fourth and final season to come in 2028. Co-host Terry Lipshetz gives his thoughts on the series after he and Bruce Miller talk about the ongoing Olympics in Paris, and also shares his frustration over shows taking too much time between seasons. While AppleTV+ has a second season of "Silo" coming soon, there are much larger gaps for upcoming second seasons for "Shrinking" and "Severance." Bruce also talks about the new movie from M. Night Shyamalan, "Trap," and the mixed success the director has had from the breakout "The Sixth Sense" to the more disappointing "The Happening." We also preview James Cameron's latest project, "OceanXplorers," which is coming to National Geographic on Aug. 18. The miniseries will feature six episodes and the latest project for the Oscar-winning "Titanic" director. Bruce has an interview with Aldo Kane and Eric Stackpole, who talk about the series. Contact us! We want to hear from you! Email questions to podcasts@lee.net and we'll answer your question on a future episode!

Blinken arrives in Israel; WNBA players opt out of CBA

Disney reveals plans at D23, this year's 'Barbenheimer' and catching up with Cesar Millan

The news out of Disney's D23 gathering was big, although perhaps a bit unsurprising considering the next wave of releases are new additions to franchises. The next "Star Wars" series, "Skeleton Crew" is on the way in December and fans got an early look at the 2026 fim "The Mandalorian and Grogu." The title for 2025 third installment of "Avatar" was revelead: "Avatar: Fire and Ash." And a number of animated favorites are returning with new additions for "Toy Story," "Zootopia," "The Incredibles" and "Frozen." But first, "Moana 2" coming later this year. There's a bit of a controversy brewing and Hollywood power couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively dominate the box office with "Deadpool & Wolverine" and "It Ends with Us." Some fans have compared the two coming out around the same time as this year's "Barbenheimer," but the films aren't quite "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie." Co-host Terry Lipshetz plans to hit the movies this weekend for the latest installment in the "Alien" franchise: "Alien: Romulus." And Bruce Miller has an interview with The Dog Whisperer himself, Cesar Millan, ahead of the new season of "Cesar Millan: Better Human, Better Dog." Contact us! We want to hear from you!
