We return to our Film Noir series with Jules Dassin’s Night and the City, following Richard Widmark’s desperate American hustler as he schemes and double-crosses his way through London’s seedy wrestling underworld.
Flexibility lets you access range of motion; mobility lets you use it. In this episode, Pete Wright and trainer Srdjan Injac untangle why that difference matters for strength, aging well, and moving through life without negotiating with your joints.
We wrap up our journey through the last 100 years of film and our Cinema Centennial: 1925’s Pioneering Visions series with Charlie Chaplin’s fun film The Gold Rush.
The holidays bring joy, chaos, and complicated family dynamics. This episode tackles the real challenges parents face during the season: balancing traditions with your own family’s needs, managing expectations from extended family, and deciding which holiday customs matter most to you.
Between the rollback of federal affirmative action requirements and the rise of AI in hiring, 2025 has left HR teams navigating constant recalibration—and according to new research, employees are feeling it. Tom Jones and Kyle Pardo break down the regulatory whiplash, the quiet evolution of DEI, and why morale has suddenly surged past compensation as employers’ top priority heading into 2026.
The final break before the next season detours through rage-filled birthday cards, handwritten letters, immersive horror, and two baby goats who briefly outperform therapy. Pete and Tommy close the pause grateful, slightly older, and fully aware that adulting still has several pop quizzes left.
A knife in a locked church and a mystery that insists certainty is the real sin. The Film Board takes on Wake Up, Dead Man, where Rian Johnson strips the joy out of the whodunit—and somehow makes it hit harder.
Our long national nightmare is finally over as we bid a not-so-fond farewell to Thor: The Dark World, dragging ourselves across the finish line to discuss Benicio del Toro’s questionable wig choices and that time The Collector kidnapped the Wasp for… reasons. Join us as we sweep up the plot holes, apologize for the lack of Howard the Duck, and look desperately toward the political thriller sanctuary of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
We are joined by cinematographer Mattias Nyberg to talk about both his work as a cinematographer—particularly his latest project “The Girlfriend” with Robin Wright—and one of his favorite films, David Lynch’s “Mulholland Drive.”
We continue our Cinema Centennial: 1925’s Pioneering Visions series with a fantastic dose of comedy following a man who has to marry by 7pm in order to get his inheritance. It’s Buster Keaton’s Seven Chances.
