RERUN on one of our favorite episodes with Katheryn Winnick.
Update on Katheryn Winnick's amazing career. She recently wrapped her 5th season of VIKINGS where she stepped into the director's chair. Currently, she is filming Sean Penn's new film FLAG DAY with Josh Brolin, Miles Teller and Sean Penn.
For the season 2 finale of UNHCR’s podcast series, the actor and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Cate Blanchett talks about what keeps her Awake at Night. Describing her experience of working with UNHCR and meeting refugees as “one of the great privileges of my life”, Blanchett reflects on how it has profoundly altered her perception of human suffering and the capacity to hope.
If you have not heard Erica Rhodes’s comedy, you have the perfect excuse to dive in on June 18, when her new album, Sad Lemon, comes out. Rhodes has been performing in some fashion since she was a kid, modeling at five and playing the voice of Garrison Keillor’s conscience on Prairie Home Companion at ten. She was a dancer as a child, then dedicated herself to playing cello before discovering acting and attending the Atlantic Theater Conservatory. That’s where she got some advice from David Mamet, that she needed to fix her voice if she was ever going to have a career, an experience that wound up as the subject of a joke on the new album. Turns out, she says, he was right.
If Rhodes’ voice, high-pitched and friendly-sounding, was a liability in acting, it’s an asset in comedy. It allows her to speak honestly about subjects like aging, living alone, and revising your life’s expectations and keep the mood light. There’s a natural buoyancy in her stand-up. And she writes smart stuff. When you’re thirty, you start talking about how you’re old, she says. Then when you’re forty and realize you really are old, you realize you could have been young for an extra ten years. Her mother is relieved that she never had to face abuse by Harvey Weinstein. “She’s like, ‘I know you weren’t ‘cause I told your father, if she had been, she’d be a lot more successful.’”
Sad Lemon is Rhodes’ first comedy album, but it is the work of a seasoned performer. The jokes are tight, the performance is loose, and you get to know some of who Rhodes is through her material. And she has only been doing stand-up comedy for roughly six-and-a-half years. Rhodes says she is not afraid to fail, a hallmark of any artist who wants to improve in their craft, and that has allowed her an accelerated growth rate as a comedian. She also loves language – as illustrated by her grammar material on the album – and that doesn’t hurt either. We covered her beginnings in show business, acting in horror movies, and he dedication to her true craft, stand-up comedy.
Our featured track this week is “Daylight Matters” from the new Cate Le Bon album Reward, which is out as of May 24 on the Mexican Summer label. When I first listened to this, to me, it had a kind of breezy, summer song vibe. If you’re listening casually, responding to the laidback groove and Le Bon’s airy vocals as she sings, “I love you, I love you, I love,” you might be forgiven for thinking this is a nice feel good track. If you’re listening a little closer, you hear Le Bon is singing, “I love you, but you’re gone/If I’m never going to see it again/It’s too late now/Your money’s lent/Dreams I’ve had and never shared/Sacrificed/The daylight matters.” There’s a wistfulness that tugs at your heart. Take a look at the video, as well, which opens on a concrete building on what looks like a snow-laden field. A few shots later, you find out that it’s a barren beach at low tide. Le Bon wanders around in a bright red hoodie, the brown grass turning momentarily green as she passes. It’s a groovy, playful lament.
Le Bon is heading out on tour in support of the album in June, and you can find the dates on her website at catelebon.com, and follow her on Twitter under @catelebon.
Today we’re sitting down with television, film, and theatre actress Necar Zadegan. From her break-out performance on the hit TV series 24, to her starring turn on Broadway with Robin Williams in the Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, and her roles in Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce and currently in NCIS: New Orleans, Necar has built her career playing fierce, powerful, and passionate women who always leave us wanting more.
She shares how her upbringing afforded her exposure to the arts from an early age and how her parent’s encouragment kept her going as she ultimately found herself on stage in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at 16 years old. After a few years in the theatre honing her craft and obtaining a literature degree, she made her way to Los Angeles, and shares how her determination to find collaborative relationships guided her into a career on screen. From her audition for 24, to reading for a play workshop that ultimately lead her to Broadway, she honestly answers a few of the listeners questions, and shares how she goes about trusting her voice, winning the room, and making fans of future collaborators.
Prior to that Necar scoring her star level turn as Delia Hassen on the mega-hit Fox TV series, '24' for Season 8, her television credits include "Harry's Law,""A Gifted Man","CSI: Miami," "The Shield," "Nip/Tuck," "The Unit," "NCIS," "How I Met Your Mother," "Lost" among others. Necar graduated with honors from the University of California at Santa Barbara with a degree in English Literature.
Today we’re chatting with actress, Amanda Warren, whose incredible artistry is matched by her wisdom, insight, and extraordinarily grounded and compassionate energy. She has established herself with a resume that is not only lengthy, but loaded with some of TV and Film’s most respected projects in recent years. From her work with Martin McDonagh and Darren Aronofsky to Denzel Washington, Francis McDormand, and beyond, her work ethic and craftsmanship has earned her the respect of her peers and gained the attention of artists across the industry.
She shares how she works on set, what she’s learned from working with world-class artists, and how she stays focused on her own journey---putting in the work, one step at a time.
Most recently her on screen work includes THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI, THE PURGE for USA, MOTHER, HOUSE OF CARDS, BLACK MIRROR, THIS IS US, HBO's THE LEFTOVERS, and Apple TV’s new series DICKINSON.

Normaal is het in de zomer altijd komkommertijd, maar niet in de filmwereld, want we hebben zoveel filmnieuws deze week dat we het niet eens allemaal kunnen bespreken. Waar we het wel over hebben is de terugkeer van RoboCop in RoboCop Returns. Het ziet er naar uit dat the one and only Lando Calrissian eindelijk te zien gaat zijn in Star Wars Episode XI. Entertainment Weekly trakteerde ons op heel veel nieuwe foto’s van o.a. Godzilla: King of Monsters, Shazam, Glass en Venom. Black Widow krijgt eindelijk haar eigen Marvel-film met Cate Shortland als regisseuse. We bespreken de trailers van Extinction en Wonder Park. En we sluiten zoals elke week weer af met de nieuwe bioscoopfilm van deze week, waaronder Ant-Man and the Wasp en Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again.
This week Lise and Andi lose their collective minds over the movie Ocean’s 8 because: Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rhianna, Awkwafina, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling, and Anne Hathaway. Also, they both LUUUUV a good heist, and Ocean’s 8 delivers AND passes the Bechdel Test with flying colors.
The writing is tight (SO important in a heist plot!), the woman power is stellar, the humor is spot-on, and holy crap the chemistry between the cast and especially Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett…Andi is shipping them hard. Ocean’s 8 is part of the Ocean’s franchise, and Bullock’s character is Debbie Ocean, sister of Danny Ocean.
Plot summary:
“Five years, eight months, 12 days and counting -- that's how long Debbie Ocean [Bullock] has been devising the biggest heist of her life. She knows what it's going to take -- a team of the best people in the field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller [Blanchett]. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists, including jeweler Amita [Kaling], street con Constance [Awkwafina], suburban mom Tammy [Paulson], hacker Nine Ball [Rihanna], and fashion designer Rose [Bonham Carter]. Their target -- a necklace that's worth more than $150 million.”
Life, uh, finds a way with our review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and we decide if this franchise still has life in its DNA or if it's ready to go extinct. Later we talk Ocean's 8 and Hereditary and discuss the first trailer for Creed 2.
Wat doe je als je vijf jaar, acht maanden en twaalf dagen in de cel zit? Maak je dan plannen om je leven te beteren? Droom je van een full-time baan en wil je de mogelijkheid hebben om elke maand netjes je hyptheek te betalen? Nee, dan bereidt je natuurlijk de grootste roofoverval van je leven voor! Zodra Debbie Ocean vrij komt, stelt ze een team van experts samen om een schat van minimaal 150 miljoen dollar te stelen.
In deze aflevering geven Nils en Narana hun spoilervrije review van Ocean’s 8.
