Play Pause

1h ago1:08:33

1:08:33

Julie is joined by filmmaker Lilly Wachowski to discuss John Boorman’s 1974 fever dream of a film Zardoz, from floating stone heads and red thigh-high boots to horny immortals and what the film has to say about masculinity, guns, art, and the end of the world.

This week Tom and Julie get in the holiday spirit by recounting the story of a Christmas Carol whilst adding their own additions, and reflecting on what a year 2025 has been! Plus they watched clips of Woody Allen failing to blow out his 90th birthday candle, the return of NJ town hall dancing man, and Julie reveals the truth about her marriage to …

Letting Them Talk with Will Harris - Ep. 09 - Julie Klausner (Difficult People / SNL / Mulaney) 52:15

1d ago52:15

52:15

This time, I'm letting Julie Klausner talk. I’d never interviewed Julie before, but we found ourselves following each other on Bluesky as a result of my AV Club Set List interview with They Might Be Giants. It turns out that she's a huge They Might Be Giants fan, which is something I didn’t realize, but I clearly should’ve, since – as a realized du…

Letting Them Talk with Will Harris - Ep. 10 - Pepe Serna (Scarface / Buckaroo Banzai / The Jerk) 1:26:08

22h ago1:26:08

1:26:08

This time, I'm letting Pepe Serna talk. Pepe is a character actor who’s been appearing onscreen since the start of the ‘70s, bouncing between film, stage, and television, and although he’s still acting whenever the opportunity presents itself, he spends a good chunk of his time these days as an artist and an acting teacher. Pepe’s first film was a …

1:48:56

We had to start in the way all of the Beatlesphere is this week, with a reflection on the release of Beatles Anthology 2025. Once we express our feelings on that, we transition into our episode proper and cover rock bands with two lives, our Beatles themed tombstones, some Paul love, some Jeff Tweedy love, mixed feeling on James McCartney, and the …

Letting Them Talk with Will Harris - Ep. 08 - Billy Campbell (Star Trek: The Next Generation / Rocketeer / Tales of the City / Cardinal) 1:39:49

5d ago1:39:49

1:39:49

This time, I'm letting Billy Campbell talk. Billy is someone whose career arc has taken him from Dynasty to Dracula to Star Trek: The Next Generation, if not necessarily in that order. He’s starred in a plethora of period pieces that have found him in the midst of the Civil War, Los Angeles in the late 1930s, and Chicago in the early 1960s. But, of…

2:06:06

This week, I'm letting Mike Carlin talk. You may recognize Mike's name if you’re a comic book fan, since not only has he written and edited for both Marvel and DC Comics, but he’s even been a comic book character on occasion, famously hiring one particular superhero as an artist with Marvel Comics…while in his secret identity, of course. The funny …

12d ago55:37

55:37

This week, I'm letting Vincent Martella talk. I’ve been a fan of Vincent’s work since he was a series regular on the UPN – later CW – sitcom Everybody Hates Chris, where he played Chris’s very white friend, Greg. It’s one of those sitcoms that not enough people watched when it was originally on the air, but its fanbase has continued to grow over th…

Ep. 95 - You Won't Sea Breeze 1:14:52

1:14:52

We are on the road to Episode 100, and number 95 can only start with a voicemail from a bonafide famous person that includes the story of two mice named Gary and Steve. From there we wonder if the story of the Beatles is a sad song, if the Beatles should have cameos in the Beatles movies, if Sam Whiles is still mad at our takes on seasonal Beatles …

1:42:40

This week, I'm letting Murray Attaway talk. I first became a fan of Murray’s work when he was fronting the Georgia-based band Guadalcanal Diary, who – along with Rhett Crowe, John Poe, and the late, great Jeff Walls – brought us such classic college rock tracks as “Watusi Rodeo,” “Trail of Tears,” “Spirit Train,” “Cattle Prod,” “Litany (Life Goes O…

This week, I'm letting Kevin M. Kruse talk. Also this week: the debut of what I hope will be a recurring episode premise called “Political Pundits on Pop Culture.” Then again, maybe it’ll be a one-off. But given how much fun I had talking to Kevin, I certainly hope it isn’t. Kevin is a history professor at Princeton, a respected author, and one of …

1:24:29

This week, I'm letting Paget Brewster talk. I have a long and thoroughly non-sordid history of interviewing Paget for various outlets. It started with her Random Roles for the AV Club, continued with an interview for Decider, and I know I’ve interviewed her twice for That Thing They Did, and…I think this is therefore our fifth time talking, maybe? …

1:11:16

This week, I'm letting Mitch Easter talk. He's a producer (R.E.M., the Connells, Suzanne Vega, Marshall Crenshaw), and he's also a singer, musician, and songwriter in his own right, though you likely know him best on that front from the years he spent in the band Let's Active. He's made a lot of music over the years, and as a result, he's got a lot…

This week, I'm letting Robbie Rist talk. For my first guest, I wanted someone I actually know but who I've never interviewed before, and although I've interviewed Robbie once many years ago, it wasn't a full look back at his career, so this seemed like a good time to do that.
