New ep! THE END OF OAK STREET has us looking back at Steven Spielberg's 2005 take on WAR OF THE WORLDS, a similar story about a collapsing suburban family suddenly united when an outside threat wants to eat them. Featuring Tom Cruise as the Top Gun of New Jersey stevedores! omny.fm/shows/filmsp...

one thing cut from this Pitt finale feature was ken kirby (Dr Shen) between takes looking at a prosthetic newborn baby lying in a roasting pan and asking noah wyle what temp he should cook it at wyle: 350! [pause, glance at me] don’t print that [pause] because it’s an old family recipe.
I went to the set of The Pitt finale, I saw a silicone baby in an aluminum roasting pan, and I wrote about Dr Robby Rabinovitch www.vulture.com/article/the-...
SPOILERS: I spoke with Ken Leung about Eric Tao's season of #Industry. one of the most incisive and thoughtful conversations about acting -- the craft, emotion, and body of it -- that I've ever had. "Like, Hamlet style." snagged my heart. @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/ken-...
this one weird trick will let you make a talk show but not have to pay union rates
'The Pete Davidson Show,' a weekly video podcast, premieres later this month on Netflix—get details.
TV that will bum you the hell out as its characters make awful choices and succumb ever more fully to the financial and social forces that make them worse people? yes, please! the fourth season of INDUSTRY: I adore it. www.vulture.com/article/indu...
Come for the discussion of a great movie, stay for the final question of the game I designed for my co-hosts, perhaps the most diabolical thing I've ever done 😈
A little over 10 years ago, The Dissolve shuttered and we started a niche movie podcast that only we had the power to shut down. This week, we celebrate the 500th episode of The Next Picture Show with a special episode on the film that inspired the title: megaphone.link/FILM9131237121
I binge-capped the new Netflix series DEATH BY LIGHTNING for @vulture. Tremendously entertaining show about our American tradition of progress being undone by violent, fame-seeking dipshits. www.vulture.com/article/deat...
Death by Lightning Series-Premiere Recap: A Man Can Be Anyone
Two very different sorts of narcissist — the 20th U.S. president and the man who shot him — set off on a crash course for the history books.

I teared up a little while editing this piece, and that was BEFORE I saw the ending in question. After seeing OBAA, I love it even more. (Also, apologies to Roxana for cutting her Andor references <3)
🚨SPOILERS🚨: I wrote about the ~ENDING~ of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER; what it says about the past, present, and future of this country; and how beautifully it envisions an "I have friends everywhere" mode of resistance. again, SPOILERS. at @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/one-...
I love bobby I LOVE BOBBY (from me, about how much I love bobby)
The small-business owner, horse dad, and onetime pencil-fighting champion is the husband-material star of the ‘King of the Hill’ revival.
One of the first shows I ever recapped (back in, erm, 2007) came out of retirement, so I did too.
The Hills return to find a very different Rainey Street after a long hiatus, but lucky for us, the important things stay the same.
A request for help: my godfather has always loved jokes—telling them and hearing them—and as I’m going to visit him in hospice for maybe the last time, I want to bring him some good ones. His short term memory is shot, so looking for things that get to the punchline in 30 seconds or less. Thanks 💔
Emmys, you're two years late and a half-dozen additional nominations short, but I'll take it.
Jeff Hiller had given up hope that he would get an Emmy nomination for ‘Somebody Somewhere’: ‘“Both my manager and my publicist wept. That’s how shocked they were. Jeremy Allen White’s team didn’t do that.”
about forty minutes before the emmy nominations presentation this morning, my entire workplace lost their minds www.vulture.com/article/43-s...

I spent a lot of time, and had a lot of fun, putting together this elaborate / sprawling / galaxy-brained list of movies you should watch after this season of POKER FACE, inspired by cameos, references, and, of course, MICHAEL CLAYTON. at @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/poke...

We don’t yet know whether ‘The Bear’ will continue, and it certainly could, but to echo Computer: Why keep going? Especially when season four’s ‘Goodbye’ makes for such a perfect series finale.

SQUID GAME is over, what was SQUID GAME? with very light S3 spoilers, I wrote about the show's contempt for us, its existential dilemma with itself, and why it probably should have only been a season long. @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/squi...
What's the phrase I'm looking for... hmm... oh, right: HO YEAH!!
The creators of Hulu’s ‘King of the Hill’ revival series talk bringing present-day Hank and Peggy back to their old house, their grown son, and a much-changed Arlen, Texas.
many reasons to recommend SIRENS -- only five episodes, glenn howerton playing dennis reynolds as a 1 percenter, an aviary full of owls -- but it's meghann fahy and milly alcock as brutally bickering sisters who bring it to life. I enjoyed! @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/sire...
I could read literally one million words of Tony Gilroy being grouchy-proud about ANDOR.
‘Andor’ creator Tony Gilroy reflects on the show and his five years inside the ‘Star Wars’ universe: ‘I cannot express the naïveté and ignorance with which I entered this project.’
I rewatched the Gemstones finale last night after editing Roxana's excellent piece, and enjoyed it so much more this time around.
I wrote about the series finale of THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES, how underneath all that vulgarity and wealth there was endless curiosity about the nature of forgiveness, and how the show's satire might have dulled but its hopefulness rose. I'll miss it! @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/righ...
Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

[removes “The Pitt is my entire personality now” hat, replaces with “Andor is my entire personality now” hat]
So much of ‘Star Wars’ today feels like it’s in service to its own fantasy, its fandom, its escapism. ‘Andor’s second season succeeds by reorienting that fantasy in the service of something greater than itself.
talked to Scott Gemmill about the end of The Pitt’s first season, and what’s coming up next
As ‘The Pitt’ shuts down for season one, the next shift is taking shape for creator R. Scott Gemmill.
really good things happen when @roxana-hadadi.bsky.social spends an afternoon with Noah Wyle www.vulture.com/article/noah...
If the Scrubs Fit
On ER, Noah Wyle was a prime-time TV star. In the streaming era, he’s just happy to be part of the company.
