The Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch38. Nick Beaulieu on 'My Omaha' and the Distance Between RealitiesA new documentary attempting to put both a personal and a political perspective of Omaha on screen is the aptly titled My Omaha, directed by Nick Beaulieu, which embarks on its director’s dueling journey to balance the tense relationship he has with his terminally ill father, a big supporter of Donald Trump with his exposure to the legacy of Malcom X and activist Leo Louis II, each representing radically different worldviews in a polarized climate. In doing so, Beaulieu explores his Omaha, but also Omaha as a microcosm of a country that is full of contradictions so deep th...2025-04-1953 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch37. The State of the RaceSome years, one film locks in early as a popular, unbeatable favorite to win all of the major awards at all of the major ceremonies, such as last year’s Oppenheimer, which grossed nearly a billion dollars and swept the Oscars. This year? It’s not so clear what the frontrunner is, how various controversies might have affected Academy voting, or what the significance of the awards might be in the age of streaming. This week's first segment is an attempt to parse through these questions with filmmaker, critic, and host of KIOS at the Movies Joshua LaBure. Then, we're...2025-02-1553 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch36. Guy Maddin on 'Rumours' and the Collapsing World OrderGuy Maddin, director of My Winnipeg, The Saddest Music in the World, and Brand Upon the Brain is a filmmaker who seemingly operates by no rules and often merges the surreal, the traditional, and the experimental. The idea of discomfort at the merger of traditional ideas with the inexplicable, of the familiar with the bizarre, is both true of his style and also the substance of his latest film, Rumours—which he directed with Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson. Available now on video on demand, the film follows a G-7 meeting between leaders from the U.S., Canada, France, Ger...2025-01-2853 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch35. The Best of 2024 RoundtableIt’s the time of year where awards bodies, critics, and audiences alike are all finally able to catch up on the notable releases of the past year, to look in retrospect at trends, and start to let works settle in ways that they don’t always in the heat of the moment. Most critics will do a best of list, awards bodies have released or already given out their awards. But the idea of our episode today is not to look to the critics who have access to all of the prestige movies, or who have seen exclusive prem...2025-01-2353 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch34. The Case for Physical MediaSomething that has changed drastically about our relationship with screens over the course of the past few decades has been the shift from reliance on physical media to streaming. With the click of a button and an internet connection, you now no longer need the middle man of DVDs, Blu Rays, or rental stores. You have it all. Or do you? If you listened to our four part series on the life and legacy of Elaine May, you know that a legal nightmare has stopped her 1972 classic The Heartbreak Kid from getting any kind of digital release.

Zia Anger on 'My First Film' and the Pressures of the DebutFairly or not, there’s a huge amount of pressure placed on the way an artist chooses to debut. The first film, album, book–it has potential to launch, and sometimes even define, a career. There’s something thrilling about a first film that manages to break out and signal a unique voice, someone announcing their talent and potential that we as viewers get to anticipate and experience across an emerging body of work. If we perhaps put too much emphasis on debuts, there are only a few debuts about debuting. This is, in fact, the plot, the function, and th...2024-12-1254 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch32. The Rick Steves Philosophy of TravelOne of the things we’re not doing when we’re buried in our screens is soaking in the world around us. Sometimes that’s intentional—a way of hiding from an often ugly and overwhelming reality. Sometimes it’s to fight off the horror of boredom. But the more we live inside our screens, the less we’re outside in our communities or exploring new kinds of cultures that exist all around us. And this brings us to Rick Steves—today’s Herodotus in chinos, insisting that “out there” remains not just more interesting than the echo chamber of our screens but t...2024-12-0754 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch31. Will There Ever Be Another Spielberg?For decades now, outlets and scholars have been predicting who the next Spielberg might be, including names like J. J. Abrams or M. Night Shyamalan. But what does it mean to be the next Spielberg? To answer that, we'd have to know what it means to be Spielberg in general. So, to get to the bottom of this, Ian Nathan, author of Steven Spielberg: The Iconic Filmmaker and His Work, chimes in. What accounts for the wild popularity of the filmmaker behind Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws, and Raiders of the Lost Ark in a career that...2024-11-2254 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch30. Beck/Woods on ‘Heretic,’ Making Hugh Grant Scary, and the Meaning of LifeToday we’re looking at a movie that is about exploring more than just meaning in culture but meaning in general. What is meaning? How do we know? What do we believe and why? This may sound more like the territory of an art-house move or prestige drama, but perhaps surprisingly it’s the focus of the new horror film written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods called Heretic, which is playing now in theaters. It follows a pair of Mormon missionaries who meet with a man claiming to be searching for information about their religion but seem...2024-11-1454 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch29. What Happened to the Blockbuster Documentary?Often, when we look at our screens, we’re looking for distractions, But just as often, we want to be informed. This election weekend, maybe a frantic mixture of both. If we can be informed and be entertained? Even better. Almost all of our coverage on The Entertainment so far has been focused on narrative spaces, telling fictional stories or adapting reality into something broadly fictional. But, of course, much of what has been on screens since 1922’s Nanook of the North has existed in a hazy space known as the documentary. What is a documentary? It seems like a de...2024-11-0154 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch28. The Dawn of Post-Roe HorrorLast week, we started a two part series exploring the way horror films in 2024 seem to feature significant overlap, often manifesting through a woman losing control in a malicious world full of corrupt institutions and family structures imposing their will on her in uniquely horrific ways, from Immaculate to The First Omen to Longlegs, and more. The critic Vern calls this a strand of "post-Roe" horror. He means Roe v. Wade, but we saw another meaning in there in the fact that nearly every film exploring these ideas is doing so under the long shadow of 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby...2024-10-2554 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch27. Why We're Still Watching 'Rosemary's Baby'The 1968 classic Rosemary’s Baby works as psychological thriller, satanic horror, and social satire all at once. Closely adapted from Ira Levin’s novel of the same name, Roman Polanski’s film tells the story of Rosemary (Mia Farrow), who becomes increasingly convinced that her aspiring actor husband, Guy (John Cassavetes), has made a horrible deal with maybe the literal devil to advance his career in exchange for their unborn child. Its plot, its supernatural implications, and its imagery are all horrific enough, but what has been the subject of much of the enduring decades of discourse around Rosemary’s Baby is...2024-10-1853 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch26. India Donaldson on 'Good One' and the Universal Disappointments of Growing UpOne of the most popular genres of the past several years, one you’ve probably seen on the screen, on the page, in music, and just by living through various stages of life is the bildungsroman or the coming of age story: the journey from youth into adolescence or adolescence into adulthood–the messy formation of identity and the conflict between an innocent conception of the world and the often ugly realities that wait around the corner. In her debut feature film Good One, writer/director India Donaldson taps into both this genre as well as a universal sensation that...2024-09-1454 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch25. Kurt Andersen's Plan to Save the WorldFor a lot of people over the past decade, the nonstop campaigning and chaos of our political system has instilled a kind of constant dread about the future, compounded by looming environmental disaster and geopolitically uncertainty. And sometimes it feels like all we can do is accept that the train is slowly crashing. But what if we could do something about it? In 2023, Kurt Andersen teamed up with Larry Doyle and Steven Soderbergh to create Command Z, a sci-fi comedy web series about a group of time-travelers from the ruined world of the future who are given the opportunity t...2024-09-0654 min

Moon Zappa Tells Her Story Her WayOver the past few months, we’ve done several episodes that return again and again to the word genius. What is a genius? Is it something objective we can all agree on? Is it a lofty way to say favorite? Is it a way of saying a person was a mess but they were talented? Moon Zappa has strong feelings about the concept as the daughter of a man who got a lot of leeway by being known as a genius. Frank Zappa became known for guitar solos, unconventional compositions that never quite fit into the genres of his ti...2024-08-3054 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch23. The Man Behind 'The Twilight Zone'Few people have made an impact on our screens as profound and lasting as Rod Serling, creator and host of The Twilight Zone, in which he and his team would interpret anxieties about human nature, nuclear war, the problems of power, and many more universal themes through genre exercises that exaggerate, allegorize, and depoliticized its subjects just enough to get by network censorship across the 1950s and 60s. And, since The Twilight Zone ended its original run in 1964, it has been rebooted in various forms: as an anthology film in 1983, a second TV series in 1985, a TV movie in 1994...2024-08-1753 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch22. The Kubrick MystiqueWhether you’re a fan of classic cinema or, say, just saw Barbie last year and wondered what that opening sequence was all about, you’re living in a world that is unmistakably in the shadow of Stanley Kubrick. You can’t help but recognize the Kubrick touch behind a Kubrick film, from their composition to their tone, to their sheer ambition. The number of monumental works he wrote, produced, and directed is nearly unparalleled, from early hits like Dr. Strangelove or 2001: A Space Odyssey to later titles shrouded in enduring mystery like The Shining or Eyes Wide Shut. Alongs...2024-08-0953 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch21. Donald Sutherland's SmileDonald Sutherland passed away in June at the age of 88 after a long, unusual, and widely celebrated career. His performances range from M*A*S*H to Invasion of the Body Snatchers to Don’t Look Now to JFK and, more recently, The Hunger Games. This is to say that he never let himself become limited to one type of character, film, or genre. And, while he could seemingly play any range of character, he always maintained that Sutherland charm. What is the secret of his charm? We asked Daryl Sparkes, Sonny Bunch, and Bobbie O’Steen.Sparkes is...2024-08-0353 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch20. What is the Best Movie of 2024 So Far?We’ve talked before on this show about the concept known as the paradox of choice—that having infinite choices across infinite streamers and live channels is less of a utopia of riches than an overwhelming landscape of indecision. What’s worth your time? How do you know? Well, that’s what critics try to help with. They watch a lot more than the average person and, in particular when it’s easier than ever for movies to slip through the cracks of various streamers and digital releases, we decided that today’s show could be a chance to hear from a...2024-06-2253 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch19. Ishtar: Money Well SpentIn part four of our four part series on Elaine May, it’s finally time to talk about her final directorial effort and what has become a cultural punching bag as the worst film of all time: Ishtar. The 1987 release saw May returning to her screwball roots with, as so much of her work centers on, a dysfunctional partnership pushed to its extremes. Unlike the darkness of Mikey and Nicky, though, Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty play lovable idiots, men who are so desperate to become the next Simon and Garfunkel that they never stop to notice that they ca...2024-06-0853 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch18. Mikey and Nicky: Letting GoMikey and Nicky is unmistakably an Elaine May film and yet it stands out compared to her other directorial efforts as far less comedic and far more openly tragic. If her comedies drew criticism for their brutality, here the brutality is the star alongside Peter Falk and John Cassavetes. It is a film about the difficult of letting go and, as often was the case with Elaine May’s productions, one she went to extreme lengths to hold onto. To make sense of Mikey and Nicky, a dark gangster drama, and its place in the Elaine May body of wo...2024-06-0153 min

Finding The Heartbreak KidIf A New Leaf was a romantic comedy with a tinge of attempted murder that ultimately gave way to sweetness, The Heartbreak Kid is a murderless romantic comedy that is much more brutal. Directed by Elaine May and written by Neil Simon, The Heartbreak Kid tells the story of Lenny Cantrow (Charles Grodin), a newlywed who falls out of love with his wife Lila (Jeannie Berlin) during their honeymoon, only to become infatuated with the beautiful and unattainable Kelly (Cybill Shepherd). What ensues is maybe the earliest example of what today we might call cringe comedy. And, despite the...2024-05-2853 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch16.

The Miracle of Adult SwimIt’s not unusual to laud a channel or a production company for cultivating a unique brand. HBO runs on brand reliability. A24 promises counterprogramming to the familiar and safe. Cartoon Network supplies family friendly content for kids. That is, until their bedtime. Starting in 2001, evenings on Cartoon Network have increasingly become a new channel with entirely different sensibilities known as Adult Swim. If Cartoon Network provides reliability, Adult Swim has cultivated years of programming unreliability and unpredictability—truly some of the strangest content to ever come out of a traditional media company. It’s about as clos...2024-05-0453 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch14. The Movie Warner Bros. Doesn't Want You to SeeVera Drew’s The People’s Joker is ostensibly a parody of the Batman universe, but it’s also a personalized reinterpretation of the characters and themes to tell a love story, a coming of age story, and a story about gender. Though Warner Brothers, who holds the rights to Batman and the related characters, has not made a public comment on the Vera Drew’s parody of the universe, it seems fair to say that they’d rather you didn’t see The People’s Joker, which is currently playing around the country in limited engagements.

A 2016 survey by Rovi suggested that the average viewer scrolls through streaming apps for at least 20 minutes before settling on something to watch—or in other words, the average length of a sitcom episode. I’ve certainly spent longer checking all of the different apps and then re-checking, desperate to find the exact right thing. This is what Barry Schwartz calls “the paradox of choice,” where the more choices presented to a consumer often lead to a less satisfactory outcome. So how do we parse thro...2024-04-2053 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch12. The Mom-and-Dad-Are-Fighting PlotThough our screens are the inescapable way in which we experience stories today, nearly all of the conflicts on screen pre-date the screen itself. Take, for example, one of Northrop Frye’s four archetypal narrative structures in Anatomy of Criticism: the marriage plot. Frye writes that “The literary mode of romance deals with the marvelous and the uncommon, and, under its influence, events turn into symbols and characters into types.” He identifies the marriage plot as a recurring motif in narratives that typically involve a quest for love, union, and resolution.People like romance. It’s fun to wa...2024-04-0653 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch11. His Name is David FincherDavid Fincher's latest film, The Killer, sees Michael Fassbender as a kind of archetypal Fincher protagonist: a methodical control freak, cynical and arrogant and finding some mixture of success and failure based on how he navigates the complex world around him. In many ways, The Killer is explicitly about his method, his earned confidence as a contractor-assassin in a meaningless world. What gives him meaning is his impeccable craft. Until he misses. More than a few critics couldn’t help but view The Killer as a kind of autobiographical work, a self-reflective tale of a control freak trying to co...2024-03-2353 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch10. First Day of CampOn today’s show, we thought we’d invite you to what may be your first day of camp—but not the Wet Hot American Summer variety. We’re talking about the kind of camp that Susan Sontag described as blurring the line between high and low culture in its appreciation of artifice, exaggeration, and stylization. This is the sort of thing that often gets called so bad it’s good, embracing the silly and over the top in place of obviously recognizable emotion.This is murky territory, especially in a time when genres are often very clearly de...2024-03-1653 minThe Entertainment with Tom Knoblauch9. The Canonization of Dewey CoxToday’s show is an exploration of the paradox that is Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, a movie that was ignored, seemingly forgotten, and yet has influence all over our popular media. How is it that Michael Mann’s Ferrari shares an iconic line with Walk Hard, as Dan Kois asks? Could it possibly be that Joaquin Phoenix was intentionally mimicking John C. Reilly in Ridley Scott’s Napoleon? Will we ever, as Brianna Zigler writes, learn the lessons of Walk Hard?

What should the role of intimacy be in storytelling? Are sex scenes unnecessary, gratuitous, slowing down the plot? Are they the plot? Is that vulnerability and passion essential to bringing humanity onto our screens? There is a long history in Hollywood of debates on where exactly the line should be—if anywhere at all—from the scandal of Pandora’s Box in 1929 to the enforcement of the Hays Code in the 1930s, censoring most of the sexual content that cam...2024-03-0253 min

But 96 years into this tradition, it’s not always clear why the Academy makes the choices it does—what excellence really means and to whom.

The Year of the BombFor over a decade, the box office has been dominated by superheroes—mostly in the form of cinematic universes that linked dozens of movies and streaming series in long, complex mythologies of characters, concepts, and conflicts. In the past few years, this has even meant multiverse concepts linking the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the Fox X-Men series and DC Cinematic Universe with previous Batmans played by George Clooney and Michael Keaton.

Audiences found that the art house could merge with the multiplex as filmmakers with distinct voices such as Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Alexander Payne, Nicole Holofcenter, and many more were able to pull off an interesting paradox: making independent films mainstream and making them through traditional studios.
