In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast host Mike DeAngelo gets to reclaim the dark saber with Disney+’s hit series, “The Mandalorian.” Created by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man,” “The Lion King”) & Dave Filoni (“Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” “Star Wars: Rebels”), the show follows the adventures of a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter (Pedro Pascal) as he fights to protect a child in the outer reaches of the galaxy far, far away. The show also stars Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito, Katee Sackhoff, and more.

During the chat, Sackhoff reflected on her journey to joining the series in Season 2, which started as a joke between friends.

Rob Savage isn’t a household name in horror, yet, but if you look at his most recent work, this is a guy who seems like he is destined for great things in genre filmmaking. And in this episode of The Playlist Podcast, I got the chance to talk to Savage and discuss his newest film, “The Boogeyman,” which is based on a short story by Stephen King.

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast, guest host Joe Scott explores the lives of star-crossed lovers as well as love-crossed country music stars in the award-winning Showtime miniseries "George and Tammy." Created by Abe Sylvia ("Nurse Jackie," "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," "Hap and Leonard," and "The Affair"), all six episodes of the miniseries were directed by Australian filmmaker John Hillcoat. A veteran helmer of music videos, Hillcoat first broke out in the world of cinema with the brutally austere 2005 western "The Proposition," a movie many critics compared to the Cormac McCarthy novel "Blood Meridian." Interestingly enough, McCarthy agreed with these comparisons, going so far as to give the director permission to adapt his then-unreleased novel “The Road,” which Hillcoat translated to the big screen in 2009.

Dating back to the “Sons of Anarchy” years, the universe that “Mayans M.C.” lives in is overrun with big, macho biker guys. But there are also such great female characters. These women are often more badass and capable than their male counterparts. And we see that quite a bit in Season 5, especially in the character of Letty, played by Emily Tosta. And in this episode of Templo Talk: A Mayans M.C. Podcast, we discuss the latest episode of “Mayans M.C.” and speak with Tosta about the five-year arc Letty has been on and how she has grown into this incredibly layered character.

A great villain is a necessity on a show like “Mayans M.C.” This is a series where the lines between bad and good are constantly blurred, and you are just rooting for what might be the lesser of two evils. Thankfully, actor JR Bourne plays an incredibly hateable villain with his portrayal of Isaac, the rogue leader of the Sons of Anarchy in the fifth and final season of ‘Mayans.’ And in this episode of Templo Talk: A Mayans M.C. Podcast, we discuss the first two episodes of Season 5 as well as have an interview with Bourne where we dig deep into the psychology of his villainous character.

In today’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo gets in the weeds with Joel Edgerton (“Warrior,” “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” “Thirteen Lives”). The talented writer/actor/director is currently promoting his latest film, “Master Gardener,” directed by the great Paul Schrader. The film acts as the third and final entry in what Schrader is now calling his “Man in a Room” trilogy, which also features “First Reformed” and “The Card Counter.” The film follows a scrupulous greenskeeper of a wealthy plantation as he tends to the needs of the grounds and a new understudy who uncovers disturbing details about the gardener’s past. The tense drama also stars Sigourney Weaver, Quintessa Swindell, and Esai Morales.

It’s here, folks. We are finally able to see the finale of the “Fast & Furious” franchise with the new film, “Fast X.” Well, okay, not the true finale. This is just Part 1 of what is scheduled to be a two-part finale, but it might actually get extended to three parts if Vin Diesel has his way. So, really, “Fast X” is part one of a final trilogy of films. And to celebrate, The Playlist Podcast is going to rank every film in the completely ludicrous (no pun intended) action film franchise.  Remember to check out more stories, news, reviews, interviews, and more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ThePlaylist.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠subscribe to our newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and check out more of our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Playlist Podcast interviews here.

The final season of “Mayans M.C.” is fast approaching (next week, in fact), and we thought we’d celebrate the end of one of the best shows on TV with a brand-new weekly podcast. Welcome to Templo Talk: A Mayans M.C. Podcast. In this episode, we kick things off with a full recap of the first four seasons of “Mayans M.C.” and how the show evolved from a run-of-the-mill “Sons of Anarchy” spinoff to one of the most daring and beautifully crafted shows on TV. 

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast host Mike DeAngelo gets to the occasional truth with Hulu’s hit period comedy series, “The Great.” Created by Tony McNamara (“The Favourite,” “Cruella”), the show follows the sometimes true rise to power and subsequent rule of Catherine “The Great” (Elle Fanning) in a chaotic and debaucherous 18th century Russia. The show also stars Nicholas Hoult, Adam Godley, Phoebe Fox, Gwilym Lee, Douglas Hodge, and more.

During the chat, Hoult reflected on the blessing of being able to play Peter III, one of the most delightfully filthy and nuanced characters on television, for yet another season.

In today’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo gets hypnotized by Robert Rodriguez (“Desperado,” “Sin City,” “The Book of Boba Fett”). The prolific writer/producer/director is currently promoting his latest film, “Hypnotic,” which follows a detective (Ben Affleck) who relentlessly pursues a mystery involving his missing daughter and a secret government program. The film also stars Alice Braga, William Fichtner, JD Pardo, and Jackie Earle Haley. READ MORE: ‘Hypnotic’ Review: Robert Rodriguez & Ben Affleck Team For An ‘Inception’-Ish Nolan-Like Thriller [SXSW] During the chat, Rodriguez discussed how “Hypnotic” has been a passion project that’s been stirring since the early 2000’s and was born out of his unlikely love for Alfred Hitchcock and one-word titles.
