Fun @SlateCultFest this week: Two movies set in the gritty NYC of the 1970s about young legends making their name who still hold unlikely power today. (The Apprentice has more to say on Donald Trump than Saturday Night does on Lorne Michaels.) .

The Substance is not very good but it is VERY fun to look at and VERY fun to talk about, and we had a blast discussing it with @Wesley_Morris and exploring his GOBSMACKINGLY good podcast about Stevie Wonder on this week's show:

Finally, a profoundly great film about the bizarre, heartbreaking, boring, dada limbo that is hospice. Vivacious @SlateCultFest this week on "His Three Daughters" and more.

Also got to shout out “Ambition Monster.” the truly brilliant, fearless, funny memoir by my old pal @jennromolini. If you have ever cared about work, in any way and for any reason, it’s a great, wise read.

Very fun show this week, on the rarity of real human fear in monster movies, what Godzilla eats, and why “Espresso” is such a bop.
On today's show, @dankois sits in for Dana. The panel discusses Leslye Headland's addition to the massive Star Wars canon, The Acolyte, plus Godzilla Minus One (!!) and the song of the summer, "Espresso" with @dancharnas! .
