  • The Incomparable Mothership 724: Treacherous Bonobo

    The Incomparable Mothership 724: Treacherous Bonobo
    Jul 12 2024
    The Summer of the Planet of the Apes continues with 2014’s “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.” It’s a sequel that’s superior in almost every way, but somehow seems a little less fun, since we can no longer root for the apes. Now there are bad guys on both sides, as Gary Oldman and a chimpanzee named Caesar act out a tragedy of Shakespearean levels.

    Jason Snell with Brian Warren, Annette Wierstra, David J. Loehr and John Moltz.

  • Sorkin' In It 3.15: The Friday Night Slaughter (Studio 60 Episode 15)

    Sorkin' In It 3.15: The Friday Night Slaughter (Studio 60 Episode 15)
    Jul 12 2024
    “The Friday Night Slaughter” refers to the moment when all the sketches for the night’s show are on the chopping block. Matt has flashbacks to when he first met Harriet. And he remembers a writer who used to work at Studio 60 who no one else remembers. It reminds us of our old cohost, Wrian Barren, a troubled young fella with great hair that he always kept covered with a backwards baseball cap. We might not like fictional, anagram-named characters. We might not love this episode of the TV show. But we still love Sorkin’ In It with you.

    Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

  • Lions, Towers & Shields 98: Toshirô Mifune Can Get It!

    Lions, Towers & Shields 98: Toshirô Mifune Can Get It!
    Jul 11 2024
    Shot in the postwar ruins of occupied Tokyo, Akira Kurosawa’s early buddy-cop thriller will make you feel every drop of sweat in its sweltering summer heat wave. A rookie cop (Toshiro Mifune) loses his gun to a pickpocket; the gun ends up in the hands of a desperate ex-soldier with nothing to lose. As his weapon gets used in a series of escalating, awful crimes, the young detective and his savvy mentor (Takashi Shimura) must race through the underworld to track down the shooter and get it back. Stray Dog is a top-notch police procedural, but it’s also a surprisingly kind, humane, and empathetic look at a city emerging from wartime.

    Nathan Alderman with Shelly Brisbin, Micheline Maynard and Randy Dotinga.
