    Bonus: How F*cking Great Is Swearing?

    On this week’s exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, the panel weighs in on profanity – is swearing f*cking great, god-awful, or something else? Should swear words be peppered into conversation like salt on food, or are they akin to chili flakes? Julia and Stephen, along with Sam Adams, attend to these extremely important profane questions. This conversation was inspired by a listener question from Jonathan.

    Does The Apprentice Make Trump Sympathetic?

    On this week’s show, Julia and Stephen are joined by Slate writer and senior editor, Sam Adams. Why do we tell fictional stories about real people?‌ The panel ponders this question as they discuss two biopics: The Apprentice and Saturday Night. The Apprentice is an uncanny portrait of Donald Trump, a young striver under the tutelage – and spell – of his mentor, Roy Cohn. But does the film offer any new information or ideas? Saturday Night, on the other hand, is the often obnoxious tale of the frenetic 90-minute countdown before Saturday Night Live’s first broadcast in 1975. Finally, the panel is joined by The Atlantic staff writer Charlie Warzel to discuss his recent and prescient piece, “I’m Running Out of Ways to Explain How Bad This Is.” In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses f*cking profanity, a conversation inspired by a listener question from Jonathan. Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements: Sam: Separated, a documentary by Errol Morris. (Read Sam’s review here.) Julia: Ten, Nine, Eight, a wonderful children’s book by Molly Bang. Steve: Laura Miller’s book review of Revenge of the Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell for Slate. Podcast production by Jared Downing. Production assistance by Kat Hong.

    Bonus: Airports as Liminal Space, a.k.a. “The One Time Stephen Wished He Was an Investment Banker”

    On this week’s exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, Isaac Butler, along with Dana and Stephen, extol the joys of being on the ground. “Flying and being at the airport are two of my favorite things to do. I know it sounds like an odd kink, but something about the liminal space and betweenness of it all relaxes me,” writes Chris Black for GQ. Inspired by Black’s column, the panel considers their own relationships to airports, and discusses how they spend their time in them.

    The Wild Robot’s Big Heart

    On this week’s show, Dana and Stephen are joined by Supreme Friend of the Podcast (SFOP) Isaac Butler, author of The Method:‌ How the Twentieth Century Learned to‌ Act. The trio first explores The Wild Robot, DreamWork Animation’s handcrafted, lovingly made film that’s the surprise of the year. Lupita Nyong’o voices ROZ, an old-fashioned robot powered by supremely advanced A.I. who must learn about and adapt to her new wild surroundings. Then, they dissect Nobody Wants This, a new Netflix series starring Kristen Bell (who plays a sex podcaster) and Adam Brody as a hot rabbi. Although there are obvious charms, the show’s “will they, won’t they” rom-com beats can often feel, at best, gratingly familiar, and at worst, bizarre and unthoughtful, particularly in its portrayal of Jewish women. Finally, the Criterion Collection, is “a catalog so synonymous with cinematic achievement that it has come to function as a kind of film Hall of Fame,” writes Joshua Hunt for The New York Times. The panel dives into the wonderful world of ‘Closet Picks,’ a viral video format in which celebrities and movie buffs head into the Criterion Collection stockroom and pluck high-quality DVDs and Blu-rays off its shelves while explaining their personal significance. Also mentioned in this episode:‌ “The Wild Robot Has an Intelligence That’s Anything But Artificial” by Dana Stevens for Slate. “‘Nobody Wants This’ Pits Jewish Women Against ‘Shiksas.’ Nobody Wins.” By Jessica Grose for The New York Times. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel extols the joys of being on the ground. Inspired by Chris Black’s column for GQ, “How I Learned to Love a Layover,” the trio discusses how they spend their time in airports. Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements: Dana:‌ “Abbas Kiarostami’s Childhood Films,”‌ a collection of 17 films by the renowned Iranian filmmaker made about or for children. Isaac:‌ The Tale of The Princess Kaguya, directed by Isao Takahata. Stephen:‌ “The Song That Connects Jackson Browne, Nico and Margot Tenenbaum”‌ by Bob Mehr for The New York Times. Podcast production by Jared Downing. Production assistance by Kat Hong.

    Bonus: We Spoil The Substance’s Final Act (a.k.a. Wesley Promised Us One Big Thought!)

    On this week’s exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, it’s another Slate Spoiler Special! Wesley hangs out to discuss The Substance’s slimy, squelchy, and controversial final act. How substantial is Demi Moore’s role, really? Is the film 30-40 minutes too long? And is The Substance a dumb movie that knows it’s dumb… or a dumb movie that thinks it’s smart? All is revealed on this week’s Slate Plus bonus episode.

    Demi Moore Gives Substance to The Substance

    On this week’s show, the hosts are joined by a very special fourth panelist: Wesley Morris, a critic at The New York Times and the host of The Wonder of Stevie, a new podcast on Audible. First, the quartet explores The Substance, a lurid, monstrous body horror flick by writer-director Coralie Fargeat. Demi Moore stars as Elisabeth Sparkle, a fading Hollywood icon who is so repulsed by the idea of aging, that she purchase a black-market drug known as “the substance.”‌ The film caused a commotion at Cannes this year, where audience members reportedly walked out in disgust and the remaining crowd gave it a 13-minute standing ovation. Then, the panel dives into The Wonder of Stevie with its host. The new six-part Audible series explores the career of Stevie Wonder and “uncovers the untold story of an extraordinary artistic journey that shaped the greatest creative era in popular music history.”‌ On the show, Wesley is joined by guests including Barack and Michelle Obama, Questlove, Smokey Robinson, and more. Finally, the hosts discuss A.I. slop and the onslaught of online garbage and language model detritus. This conversation was inspired by Max Read’s piece for New York Magazine, “Drowning in Slop.”‌ In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Wesley Morris sticks around for a classic Slate spoiler special, and joins the hosts in dissecting The Substance and the film’s controversial, bloody, and borderline nauseating third act. Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements: Dana: Stevie Wonder and Gilbert Gil performing live in Brazil in 1995. Julia:‌ Today on Trail, Rusty Foster’s spin-off newsletter miniseries about hiking the Appalachian Trail with his son. Stephen:‌ British singer-songwriter Nilüfer Yanya’s album, My Method Actor. Wesley: Vote for your favorite songs of the past 25 years, and add to WXPN radio’s definitive list of the “885 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century.”‌ Podcast production by Jared Downing.

    Bonus: AITA‌ For Not Reading The Power Broker?‌

    On this week’s exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, staff writer (and author of Paved Paradise) Henry Grabar drops by to offer a hot take: skip Robert Caro’s The Power Broker and read another book. Well, not exactly. As Grabar explains, it’s a lot more complicated and nuanced than that, but you’ll have to listen to the exclusive episode find out how. Also, check out his essay, “Read Another Book.” And read other books such as: Saving America’s Cities (Lizabeth Cohen) Paved Paradise (Henry Grabar) Soft City (David Sim)

    Colin Farrell Quacks Like a Penguin

    On this week’s show, two of our favorite Slate-sters, Nadira Goffe (culture writer)‌ and Dan Kois (author of Hampton Heights), fill in for Dana Stevens and Stephen Metcalf. The trio first pays a visit to Gotham, and reviews Max’s The Penguin, an odd, unevenly paced mob show that doubles as DC Comics intellectual property. Sporting a prosthetic face, Colin Farrell reprises his role as the titular character (also known as Oz Cobb) and adds a new layer of humanity to the villainous Penguin. Then, the three discuss Sundance darling My Old Ass, a charming coming-of-age film by writer-director Megan Park, in which teenage Elliot (played by Maisy Stella) meets her future self (Aubrey Plaza) while tripping on shrooms. Finally, the panel tackles Am I The A*****e?‌‌ and explores the classic Reddit forum’s many pleasures. Mentioned in this episode:‌ Colin Farrell’s Long Waddle to The Penguin (Isaac Butler, Slate.) In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses Robert Caro’s The Power Broker with staff writer Henry Grabar, who in his essay, “Read Another Book,” offers a counterpoint to the weighty tome: maybe it’s OK to skip this one.  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Nadira: Sean Wang’s film Dìdi; a playlist of metaphorically violent songs, inspired by Charli XCX’s “Sympathy is a Knife.”‌ (Also, if anyone has any intel on “Life Is a Death Wish”‌ or Golden Age Ensemble, please reach out!) Dan:‌ Thank Goodness, an extremely funny video game.‌ Available on most gaming platforms. (He also strongly recommends watching this video about the game’s developers!) Julia:‌‌ ColorKu, a vibrant and beautiful puzzle game. Podcast production by Jared Downing. Production assistance by Kat Hong.
