    Discussing Rob Reiner's legacy and chatting with the stars of 'Song Sung Blue'

    Rob Reiner's tragic death marks the end of a remarkable career that brought us beloved films from "This is Spinal Tap" to "Stand by Me" to "The Princess Bride" to "A Few Good Men," just to name a few. And of course, beyond filmmaking, Reiner will be remembered for his most iconic comedic role as Mike Stivic (or Meathead as father-in-law Archie Bunker called him) on "All in the Family." On this episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz discuss Reiner's legacy, including his most memorable films and appearances. Then, Miller shares an interview he had with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, stars of the new film "Song Sung Blue," which could be this year's go-to movie during the holiday season. And to wrap up, the hosts discuss some of their favorite Christmas movies of all time.

    Golden Globe nominations arrive and hear from the stars of 'Percy Jackson'

    What stories do the 2026 Golden Globe nominations tell? "Wicked: For Good" couldn't get a nomination for best motion picture-musical or comedy. Timothée Chalamet might be an Oscar favorite for his performance in "Marty Supreme." Rose Byrne could be someone to watch for best actress thanks to a strong effort in "If I Had Leg's I'd Kick You." Jeremy Allen White probably won't win a pair of best actor awards, but he did score nominations for his film portrayal of Bruce Springsteen as well as his series "The Bear." Regardless of what happens, we did get a bit of a sneak preview into what might get love when Oscar nominations come on Jan. 22. We also discuss season 2 of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" on Disney+. Bruce Miller has multiple interviews with the stars, including Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Dior Goodjohn (Clarisse La Rue), Charlie Bushnell (Luke Castellan), Daniel Diemer (Tyson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood).

    'Sentimental Value' the sleeper hit we need. Hear from director Joachim Trier

    Studios love to hold movies back until the end of the year to sneak into awards conversations. "Song Sung Blue" with Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, along with "Marty Supreme" starring Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, are among the films trying to catch the attention of critics. Another film that hits a similar chord is "Sentimental Value," the latest film from Joachim Trier starring Renate Reinsve, Elle Fanning and Stellan Skarsgård. In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller catches up with Trier about the film and his overall style that allows his films to "say enough, but not too much." We also talk about the first batch of episodes of "Stranger Things," which released the first half of its season in time for the Thanksgiving break. Co-host Terry Lipshetz watched the episodes with his family and shares his thoughts about the final run.

    'Sidelined 2: Intercepted' extends rom-com into franchise territory

    Tubi is the latest streaming service to find its niche in original programming. After the success of "Sidelined: The QB and Me" in 2024, director Justin Wu was back at it with "Sidelined 2: Intercepted." Is a "Sidelined 3" in the works? Could there be an extended universe for this romantic comedy series aimed at older teens and young adults that stars TikTok influencer Noah Beck? (And for the Gen X crowd, the movie also stars James Van Der Beek of "Dawson's Creek" and "Varsity Blues" fame.) Bruce Miller has interviews with Wu and stars Roan Curtis, Charlie Gillespie and Drew Ray Tanner.  Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz also talk "Wicked," Broadway shows in New York, "The Beast in Me" and more!
