With "Lord of the Rings" out next week, "Better Call Saul" wrapped up, and "House of the Dragon" coming in for a (king's?) landing this very weekend, it's safe to say we've got prequel fever! And the only cure ... is to make a list of the TV show prequels we wanna see! Also we preview the new Marvel show "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law," air some grievances about what we think are the worst movies of the year, and there's even an interview with Garret Dillahunt and Martha Plimpton who you can see in the new Freevee show "Sprung!"

For the bonus episode this week Chris has been thinking a bunch about Netflix's new adaptation of The Sandman, Neil Gaiman's iconic comic book series which was long described as "un-filmable." As you'll hear, the source material has been close to Chris's heart for a long while, so who better to compare notes with on the translation than someone who's just getting acquainted with the characters and story: HIs mom!

This week Bruce Miller interviewed Abbi Jacobson and Chanté Adams about "A League of Their Own," the new Amazon Prime show that takes its source material further. We catch up with our feelings on "Bullet Train, Prey" and "Sandman," as well as offer up preview Netflix's upcoming "13: The Musical."

The bonus episode is all over the place this week but it's still a load of fun so tune in to hear Bruce go all in on Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris, drop a solid teaser for an upcoming FXX animated show starring Danny Devito as the Devil, and we take some unexpected detours that touch on Y2K Beanie Babies, a weirdly specific kind of action figure, and we even find the time to recommend some off-the-beaten-path movies you might want to check out.

We take a while to work up to it, but the consensus for this coming week/end of streaming and screening is loaded with lots of potential surprise breakouts. The big fish in the pond is Bullet Train, the assassin action comedy starring Brad Pitt and a stacked supporting cast, but don't discount the long awaited Sandman series (based on Neil Gaiman's comic series) that's hitting Netflix on Friday, the Predator prequel Prey hitting HULU (and its alternate audio dun entirely in Comanche), the LGBTQ+ conversion camp slasher They/Them on Peacock that connects Kevin Bacon back to his horror roots, and honestly there are too many other great options to rattle off here so you'll just have to listen in to get the lowdown on the highlights.

We spend the first chunk of this episode weighing in (spoiler free!) on Jordan Peele's spin on the flying saucer genre, Nope, which was filled to bursting with big concepts, memorable images, and over-the-top set pieces that deserve to be seen on the biggest screen you can find. We also offer up a preview of Vengeance, a fictional riff on the true-crime podcast genre that was written and directed by B.J. Novak who many will likely know better as Ryan from The Office, as well as a look at Paper Girls, a soft sci-fi time travel series premiering on Amazon Prime that's adapted from a comic by the absurdly prolific writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Runaways, Saga). Make sure you're subscribed to Streamed & Screened (wherever you get your podcasts!) so as to not miss our next bonus episode which rounds up the most exciting movies of the dozens that dropped trailers this past weekend.

On this episode we list our favorite movies of the year so far, yes, but before we get to that we have a nice chat about Where the Crawdads Sing, which landed in theaters last weekend, Nope, which opens this weekend, Netflix's latest attempt at a "blockbuster," The Gray Man, and Ethan Hawke's HBO Max love-letter to Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, The Last Movie Stars. After that (or scroll down if you want just the list), you'll get "our favorite movies of 2022 so far," which is a segment that ran last week for everyone who has subscribed to the show (available wherever you get podcasts). Every week we have an extra chunk that doesn't get the same big promotional push that the main episode gets, and we thought we'd plug a taste of that here for you.

Another Bonus episode for the Streamed and Screened faithful! With this one we're hopping into the question of what time of day is the best to go to the movies. For sure, this is not the most pressing of matters but it's the sort of thing we have some legit opinions on and even pepper in some fun stories.

We've got a preview of the new Marvel movie, Thor: Love & Thunder, that gives some comic book context without getting too far into the weeds, we hash out some thoughts on Rise of Gru, the latest entry in the Minions franchise, breaking $100 million in box office receipts over the weekend and whether or not that means movies are officially back in theaters for good, plus our very own Bruce Miller interviews Chris Williams, the director of Netflix's fantastic new animated feature, Sea Beast.

For Independence Day, enjoy this special bonus episode from the archives. Themed "American Movies" it was just our tenth ever, back when the show was called "Just to be Nominated" and functioned as more of a themed top-5 show since Covid had only just recently shut theaters down and our fledgling show about movies had to reformat its concept. Here's the description from July 2020: Last time you heard from us, we picked out some of our favorite films and shows on the new HBO streaming platform HBO Max. For this episode, which we recorded on the Monday after Independence Day weekend, we attempted to assemble a collection of movies that paint a well-rounded picture of America. Listen all the way to the end and you'll hear our unexpected recommendations for ridiculous new game shows!

Baz Luhrmann's new biopic, Elvis, tied Top Gun at the box office this past weekend, and we've got some thoughts on all two hours and forty rhinestone-scarved minutes of its overstuffed runtime. It's not a wildly busy weekend at the theaters, what with Independence Day pushing most people out of doors, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with the latest Despicable Me spin-off, Minions: The Rise of Gru. Lastly, Bruce has a great conversation with Henry Thomas about his claustrophobic new thriller, Crawlspace. Thomas is best known from his role forty years ago as Elliot in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, but he's been a working actor ever since, most recently making a name for himself in Mike Flanagan's series of creepy films and shows you can find on Netflix.

The King is in the building! The assuredly bombastic new 'Elvis' directed by Baz Luhrmann is hitting theaters this weekend and we're pretty excited to see what that twelve (or was it ten) minute standing ovation was all about that it got at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Along the way, we scour the archives for some relevant Elvis content that will entertain, illuminate, and amaze, which we have linked below so as to edify. Also coming out this week is a new horror movie, "The Black Phone," starring Ethan Hawke as a serial killer whose previous victims are, from beyond the grave, trying to help free his current victim. We're predicting the movie is not entirely as it appears, but we've been burnt before, so who knows.  Also on tap is the latest Dr. Strange movie landing on Disney+, "Loot" on Apple TV+, a new Beavis and Butt-Head movie on Paramount+, and the premiere of Westworld's fourth season on HBO Max.

As predicted last week, "Jurassic World: Dominion" did gangbusters at the box office but failed to wow critics, our own Bruce Miller especially. The summer blockbuster season continues to heat up though, with Toy Story prequel "Lightyear." And "Top Gun: Maverick" looks to maintain a steady cruising altitude and (we predict) might even reclaim the top spot from the dinosaurs in short order. If leaving the house is unappealing, there's a long list of interesting movies hitting streaming services including a romcom re-tread, "Father of the Bride" (HBO Max; June 16), a festival darling, "Cha Cha Real Smooth" (Apple TV+ June 17), British sex comedy, "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande" (Hulu; June 17), and a flashy George Saunders sci-fi action adaptation of "Spiderhead" (Netflix; June 17) from the director of "Top Gun: Maverick."

We're coming in for a landing after a wild ride with 'Top Gun: Maverick,' plus Bruce has three words to describe the first few episodes of 'The Boys' S3 ("...dirty, dirty, dirty!"), David Cronenberg returns to form this weekend with his old school brand of body horror, and we end things with a chat between Bruce and Craig Pearce & Thomas Brodie-Sangster the writer and star (respectively) of 'Pistol' on Hulu. They also talk about the new 'Elvis' movie coming out in a few weeks that Pearce wrote the screenplay for, connecting some of the dots between the king of rock and roll and Johnny Rotten's snot-nosed crew.

To call this weekend the start of summer blockbuster season would be an understatement. The only question is if a three-day weekend will give us enough time to pack in all this action. We have Top Gun: Maverick and The Bob's Burgers Movie in theaters, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+) and Stranger Things (Netflix) on the small screen, and even with all that going on not only do we squeeze in an interview with the one and only Danny Boyle ahead of the release of his new show Pistol on Hulu, but Bruce goes so far as to try to make a brand new idiom happen. Check it out and get excited for nice long weekend of streaming and screening.

It's another week and we have another slate of movies and shows to recommend! It's still a bit of a slow period between blockbusters Dr. Strange and Top Gun: Maverick, but art-house horror afficionados will be lining up for Men, the buzzy new movie from Alex Garland. Best known for Ex Machina (2015) and Annihilation (2018), this looks to be a step down from the standpoint of special effects while retaining Garland's trademark high concept provocation. Also on tap are Downton Abbey: A New Era, a talent-packed reboot of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Disney+; May 20), a collection of Jackass outtakes (Netflix; May 20), and a biopic series on Angelyne (Peacock+; May 19) starring Emmy Rossum from Nancy Oliver (Lars and the Real Girl, True Blood) and Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot).

For this episode we kick things off with some immediate reactions to Marvel's latest, which finds Dr. Strange manipulating the mystical arts in a "Multiverse of Madness". Bruce Miller's interview this week is with NBA great John Salley, who's adding a new entry to his IMDB credits with a Cinderella twist, "Sneakerella," which hits the court May 13 on Disney+. Next up, Bruce offers an enthusiastic endorsement of the latest season of "Hacks" on HBO and "Selling Sunset" on Netflix.

Do they talk about Bruno? You'll have to listen to find out! We talk about the final season of "Ozark" and also have some big thoughts about the current state of Netflix's business affairs which could be described, generously, as "troubled."

We kick the episode off with our immediate thoughts on "The Northman" and "Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent," both of which are fantastic in their ways. Not a ton of new stuff in theaters other than a Liam Neeson shoot-em-up, "Memory," and some interesting foreign films, "Hatching" and "Vortex," but over on the streaming side there are series finales dropping on Netflix for "Ozark" and "Grace & Frankie," plus debuts including "We Run This City" on HBO, "The Offer" on Paramount+, "Shining Girls" on Apple TV+, and "I Love That For You" on Showtime. And finally, Bruce Miller talks with Ben Foster and Barry Levinson about their new film, "The Survivor," which portrays the story of a real-life survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, forced to box his fellow inmates to survive. You can see that on HBO Max starting April 27.

It's now been over a week since Will Smith walked on stage and slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, so we check in on if our feelings have changed over the course of the multitude of hot-take think-piece articles that have been all but unavoidable.

Grab some popcorn and get comfortable as "Jackass Forever" and "Moonfall" hit theaters, while "Pam & Tommy" drops on Hulu. We round up those along with "Nightmare Alley," "Murderville" and "Red Rocket" to give you six new movies and TV shows that are worth checking out. Bruce Miller has a great conversation with legendary songwriter Diane Warren who, over the course of her career, has been nominated for twelve Academy Awards but somehow has yet to snag an Oscar statue. Nominations will be announced this weekend and her song "Somehow You Do" (YouTube) from the movie "Four Good Days" (Hulu) might make it a baker's dozen and then maybe finally put her over the line with a win! Here is a roundup of the brand new movies and TV shows worth seeing: Jackass Forever (In theaters Feb. 4) "It's Three Stooges-level in terms of physical comedy. They sell it perfectly. The way they set up the stunts perfectly to maximize the laughs. They're geniuses in that respect. And also it's just fun to hang out with those guys." - Jared Pam & Tommy (Hulu, Feb. 2) "Lily James is playing Pam Anderson and she is incredible! Incredible! She is exactly like Pam Anderson. I have interviewed Pam and I know what she's like and I know the kind of coy things she does and this woman captures every bit of it... I think they captures=d their personalities just right on." - Bruce Moonfall (In theaters Feb. 4) "I might just go watch people fight the moon this weekend. I'm all in on that. It looks incredibly stupid and I'm totally fine with that." - Jared Nightmare Alley (HBO Max and HULU, Feb. 1) "Bradley Cooper, especially the last part, is doing some of my favorite work that I've seen him do. His last little turn is fantastic." - Jared Murderville (Netflix, Feb. 3) "It sounds like it could be really interesting, or... not that? ... I'm really interested to see what the execution is going to be like!" - Chris Red Rocket (A24 Screening Room, Feb. 5) "I think there are going to be surprises, like Nicolas Cage nominated for best actor for Pig. And Simon Rex is another one that could be slipping into that category. As much as people think Denzel Washington is a lock for The Tragedy of Macbeth, I think he could get bounced by one of those two." - Bruce Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, an entertainment reporter for multiple decades who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal, Jared McNett, a reporter for the Sioux City Journal, and Chris Lay, the podcast operations manager for Lee Enterprises.
