The Yellowstoners, Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez, have returned! This time, instead of breaking down the latest episode “Yellowstone,” the hosts turn their attention to the latest “Yellowstone” spin-off series, “1923.” Also created by Taylor Sheridan, “1923” follows Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) and Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren) who have taken over the land for the Dutton family and are trying to raise a ranching empire in the 1920’s amidst potential range wars, prohibition, and the Great Depression. The show also stars James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Robert Patrick, Brandon Sklenar, Aminah Nieves, and more. READ MORE: ‘1923’ Review: Harrison Ford & Helen Mirren Light Up Taylor Sheridan’s Otherwise Familiar ‘Yellowstone’ Spin-Off On today’s podcast, our hosts wrestle with the latest spin-off and it’s ties to the greater “Yellowstone” universe, and afterwards, cast members, Harrison Ford, James Badge Dale & Marley Shelton stop by to chat about becoming a part of this amazing multi-generation-spanning story that creator Taylor Sheridan is bringing to life. As to why everyone seems to be jumping on board the “Yellowstone” train, Ford suggests the answer is fairly straightforward, despite himself saying in past interviews that he was unlikely to make the jump to television.

Unless you’ve been living under the proverbial rock, you’ve probably heard that there is drama in the DC film universe. But, of course, when is there not? Recently, it was announced that James Gunn is writing a new “Superman” film, which would focus on the character’s earlier days. That was followed up by news that Henry Cavill isn’t coming back as Superman. That news came on the heels of Patty Jenkins being told her pitch for “Wonder Woman 3” no longer fit in the new direction for the superhero franchise. All of this led to a ton of speculation about the dreaded R-word – reboot. In this episode of The Playlist Podcast, we discuss all of the recent drama and where this might lead as we enter 2023 and beyond.

In today’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo puts on his tin foil hat to sit down and talk sci-fi with one of the genre's most beloved figures, David Duchovny (“The X-Files,” “Californication,” “Twin Peaks”). The actor/writer/director is currently out promoting a couple of projects dropping around the same time. First, his film, “The Estate,” in which two sisters, played by Toni Collette and Anna Farris, attempt to win over their terminally ill aunt in hopes of becoming the beneficiaries of large estate. Duchovny plays a seedy, perverted cousin, Dick, who also shows up with similar motives. The film also stars Dean Craig (“Death at a Funeral”), Kathleen Turner, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston, and and more. During the chat, Duchovny shared that he requested a certain true story from his life be added to the film to really emphasize who his character truly is.  He also spoke about potentially returning to the "X-Files" (it really depends) and talked about his new graphic novel, 'Kepler.'

As we close the chapter on another year in film, it’s hard not to recognize just how omnipresent the superhero film genre has become. Sure, it’s been growing steadily over the past decade, but 2022, despite a couple of years of COVID slowdowns, has been the biggest year yet for the genre, especially when you consider the huge number of projects arriving on TV screens. So, with that in mind, The Playlist Podcast is here to breakdown 2022’s superhero offerings to see if it was a good year for fans or did “Morbius” ruin it for everyone?

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast host Mike DeAngelo gets pulled back into Apple TV+’s London-based spy series, “Slow Horses.” Based on the Mick Herron novel of the same name, the show follows Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), the slovenly, irascible, insubordinate leader of Slough House —a destination for all of British Intelligence’s misfits and career f*ck-ups. In the second season, which premiered its first two episodes last week on Apple TV+, the derogatorily dubbed “Slow Horses” stumble into another far-reaching case when a former colleague of Jackson Lamb’s is found dead on a bus. Returning to Bingeworthy to discuss the show are cast members Gary Oldman, Saskia Reeves, and Jack Lowden. The cast took a break from shooting seasons three & four back to back to discuss season two. During the interview, Oldman revealed that he may have based a piece of Jackson Lamb on a famous former colleague, Anthony Hopkins.

The Yellowstoners, Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez, have returned to break down another season of “Yellowstone” like Beth’s bottle over some poor woman’s head. Along the way, they’ll also welcome guests from the show to discuss what makes the series so popular, their favorite characters and moments, and tease what’s to come. On this podcast episode, our hosts throw their ropes around episodes four and five, entitled “Horses in Heaven” and “Watch ‘Em Ride Away,” respectively. The latter premiered yesterday on Paramount Network. Afterward, Thomas Rainwater himself, Gil Birmingham, sits down to talk about hearing about "Yellowstone" almost before everyone else due to his long working relationship with creator Taylor Sheridan.

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast, host Rodrigo Perez steps inside “Echo 3,” Apple TV+’s new ten-part drama mini-series from Academy Award-winner Mark Boal (“The Hurt Locker,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Detroit”). An action-packed thriller set in South America, “Echo 3” is essentially a family drama, a military espionage actioner, and a kidnapping drama with political intrigue. The series follows Amber Chesborough (Jessica Ann Collins), a brilliant young scientist who is the emotional heart of a small American family. She’s also married into a larger, more connected, and well-to-do military family. When Amber goes missing along the Colombia-Venezuela border, her brother, Bambi (Luke Evans), and her husband, Prince (Michiel Huisman)—two men with deep military experience and complicated pasts— struggle to find her in a layered personal drama set against the explosive backdrop of a secret war. Boal, of course, has spent most of his award-winning career connected to Kathryn Bigelow, but he broke out on his own for "Echo 3." So we spoke all about this new series, his past work with Bigelow, and 'Triple Frontier,' a film he wrote that was made but was nothing like the version he worked on but does illuminate his fascination with setting stories set in Latin America. We also spoke about a Showtime series he wrote called "Intelligence," about the 2016 election, which he admitted he met Christopher Steele about- the Trump dossier intelligence officer, and while that’s not really happening, he hopes it comes around one day.

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast, host Mike DeAngelo steps inside “Welcome to Chippendales,” Hulu’s new eight-part drama mini-series from Producer Robert Siegel (“Pam and Tommy”), which follows Somen “Steve” Banerjee, a fledgling Indian-American entrepreneur who decides to open an all-male strip club in the 1980s. The show also stars Murray Bartlett, Annaleigh Ashford, Juliette Lewis, Andrew Rannells, Dan Stevens, and more. READ MORE: ‘Welcome to Chippendales’ Review: Kumail Nanjiani Steals The Show In Hulu’s Seedy, Sprawling True-Crime Drama Joining our host to discuss the show is producer and star of the series, Kumail Nanjiani, who you may know for his more comedic roles in “Silicon Valley,” “The Big Sick,” Marvel’s “Eternals,” “Stuber,” and more. Being a primarily comedic actor is why Nanjiani turned the story of “Welcome to Chippendales” down when originally approached for the role of Somen "Steve" Banerjee.

The Rogue Ones: A Star Wars Andor Podcast returns for one last episode with hosts Mike DeAngelo and The Playlist’s Editor-In-Chief, Rodrigo Perez. As with the previous episodes, each week, our hosts will recap and review the latest “Andor” episode and welcome cast members and creatives from the show to discuss all things “Andor” and all the intrigue and machination of the “Star Wars” galaxy.

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast hosts Mike DeAngelo, and Rodrigo Perez set their sights on the new mob dramedy from Paramount+, “Tulsa King.” The Sylvester Stallone-led show centers on Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a New York Mafia capo who just completed a 25-year prison sentence and is exiled by his bosses to start his own territory in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The series also stars Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Jay Will, Garrett Hedlund, and Domenick Lombardozzi. Joining our co-host, Rodrigo Perez, to discuss the show is writer/showrunner Terence Winter, who made his name on other famous mobster shows like “The Sopranos” and “Boardwalk Empire,” also writing Martin Scorsese's "Vinyl" series and "The Wolf of Wall Street." The series is created by Taylor Sheridan (“Yellowstone”), who also wrote the pilot episode, but handed over the reins to Winter, who attested that he made the show his own with little outside input - even from Sheridan himself. Winter was super generous with his time and told us everything about the show, but two things stand out. One debunking a report earlier this summer that the show would tie in to "Yellowstone" and telling us just how much freedom he had from Sheridan who let him do what he wanted with the show after he had written the pilot.
