Primetime is the fourth feature film — and the first narrative feature film — directed by Lance Oppenheim. It is the second feature directed by Oppenheim that The Nose has covered in the last 15 days (and the other one is currently the No. 1 movie in the country). It stars Robert Pattinson as a heightened version of Chris Hansen during the production of To Catch a Predator.

And: Phony is a high school comedy-mystery series from Hulu. It stars Sam Nivola as a teenager who is convinced that his mother, played by Connie Britton, has been replaced by an impostor.

GUESTS:
Shawn Murray: A stand-up comedian and writer; he claims to be the rightful heir to the Murray’s Hair Pomade fortune
Irene Papoulis: Taught writing for a long time at Trinity College
Lindsay Lee Wallace: A writer and a noted chiropterology journalist, among other things

The Colin McEnroe Show is public radio’s most eclectic, eccentric weekday program. The best way to understand us is through the subjects we tackle: Neanderthals, tambourines, handshakes, the Iliad, snacks, ringtones, punk rock, Occam’s razor, Rasputin, houseflies, zippers. Are you sensing a pattern? If so, you should probably be in treatment. On Fridays, we try to stop thinking about what kind of ringtones Neanderthals would want to have and convene a panel called The Nose for an informal roundtable about the week in culture.
