The Gospel of ‘Tony’

On this week’s episode, we discuss the crazy lengths Warner Bros. is going to to keep spoilers for the new show Lanterns under wraps. Then we review Tony, the new biopic about Anthony Bourdain! Is it as good as Kitchen Confidential … or maybe better? Make sure to swing by on Thursday for our bonus episode on memoirs. Our next book club is, hopefully, starting this weekend; we’re discussing A Sudden Flicker of Light: A Revisionist History of Movies. Make sure to sign up so you can comment along with us about the first seven chapters! And share this episode with a friend!

Anne Hathaway, Dino Hunter: 'The End of Oak Street'

On this week’s episode we ask if dog peril should join the ranks of considerations for a Restricted rating from the MPA. Then we review The End of Oak Street, a movie with some dog peril that nevertheless earned a PG-13 rating. Make sure to swing by on Thursday for our bonus episode on Anne Hathaway. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend!

'One Night Only,' aka 'Sex Purge'

This week we reviewed One Night Only (elevator pitch: What if extramarital sex were only legal for one night?), a movie that has been somewhat unfairly maligned by film critics, and discussed director Will Gluck’s feelings about audience discomfort with nudity. It’s a brave new world, folks, we’re just living in it.

Spider-Man's Brand New Movie: Yay or Nay?

Hey, Sonny here: many thanks to Peter and Alyssa for banging this out without me. I’m on vacation this week, and despite planning to tape from my hotel room, things just didn’t quite work out. (Hotel wifi: Not always the most reliable!) But I’ve listened to the whole thing and edited it and they did a very nice job! I probably liked Spider-Man: Brand New Day a bit more than either of them (it’s unironically the best film about male friendship I’ve seen in years, maybe a decade), but I’m biased. We’ll be back with a bonus episode this weekend—currently plan is to tape/edit Friday, post Saturday—and hope you won’t mind this minor interruption in our regularly scheduled posts. If it makes you feel any better, the Spider-Noir bonus-bonus episode is a real delight, you can watch it again while you wait for us to get back on track. Anyway, if you liked this episode, please share it with a friend!

The Best Films of 2026 (So Far!)

On this week’s episode, we tried to figure out what’s happening next in the P-Sky/WBD deal. Spoiler: No idea! Then we picked our five favorite movies of the first half of 2026. Much to discuss!

Is 'The Odyssey' an Early Best Picture Favorite?

The Odyssey is here! One of the most-anticipated films in Across the Movie Aisle history. Spoiler: We all liked it. But did we like it unreservedly enough? That’s the question on this week’s super-sized episode.

'The Invite': Hilariously Uncomfortable

On this week’s episode, we discuss Netflix’s declining engagement stats. Should the streaming giant panic? And then we review The Invite, a movie that asks uncomfortable questions in hilariously provocative ways. Make sure to swing by for our bonus episode on Thursday wrapping up our Odyssey Book Club. (Almost.) And if you have thoughts about Sam Neill, head over to the chat and share them!

The 'Minions' Go to 'Babylon'

On this week’s episode, we discuss Seth Rogen’s slanderous take on Sylvester Stallone and his thoughts on criticism more broadly. Then we reviewed Minions and Monsters, which is basically “Babylon with less cocaine and more little yellow guys.” Swing by our Substack on Thursday for a bonus episode on the silent era’s best movies for kids. And if you enjoyed this, please share it with a friend!

Across the Movie Aisle Trailer

Welcome to Across the Movie Aisle! Join hosts Sonny Bunch (REBELLER), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) as they guide you through the week’s controversies (and nontroversies), discuss what’s new at the multiplex, and assign a classic from the REBELLER canon for viewing so you’re ready for the next week’s theatrical offerings.

Tim Miller and guests discuss the latest political news for the flagship podcast of the Never Trump movement and the reality-based community. Every weekday we provide insightful analysis, political hot-takes, an unabashed defense of liberal democracy and long-form interviews that cut through the "both-sides" BS. Plus a few laughs to help you wash down the crazy. Bulwark+ members can get a totally ad-free version of the show delivered right to their favorite podcast player.

“The Illegal News” is where law meets politics. Each week, Bulwark publisher Sarah Longwell (not a lawyer) sits down with a legal expert to unpack how the latest court filings, rulings, and procedural twists and turns of the Trump era are shaping American democracy. These are conversations about justice without the jargon, giving you context for the biggest developments and surfacing the legal (and illegal) moves not getting enough attention. If you're looking for "George Conway Explains It All to Sarah Longwell," George is off on a new adventure, but Sarah will keep you covered.

Great pod but Alyssa needs Toastmasters asap!

I think this podcast is really great and everyone is so smart, but listening to Alyssa is tedious. You stop counting after awhile how many “You know “ “Like “ “Um” “So “ “Right”? It’s so aggravating and annoying . I suggest some vocal teasing and Toastmasters to learn professional public speaking. Just my humble opinion. Keep up the good work

Intelligent discussion about movies and the entertainment industry and culture more generally, from three hosts with different perspectives and interests, but with a nice rapport among themselves.

I love Peter and his perspective, but if he doesn’t learn how to use his mute button while slurping during the podcast I may have to start an online revolt to have him removed from the show and replaced with a bot that shares all of his opinions. Seriously Peter, don’t make us find our digital pitchforks, because we love you.
Fun and informative

A must-listen. I learn so much - I get introduced to movies and aspects of the industry I didn’t know about, and get opinions about movies I have seen and want to learn more about. I go to lots of movies, something few others do these days, and this podcast (and its companion, The Bulwark Goes To Hollywood) gives me the kind of movie conversation I like but have trouble finding in real life. The hosts share my love of movies and inspire me to see more. I really value their knowledge and distinct personalities.
