This is a very funny and pretty dead-on parody of “This American Life,” but it should come with one major warning: You can’t un-hear the fake sex between Ira Glass and Terry Gross. Think about whether you want to ruin your podcast listening forever!

Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is a prequel to his Lord of the Rings trilogy, which most people rushing to The Hobbit will have already seen. In the new film there are many nods or foreshadowing to adventures or characters seen in LOTR, and connections to be made. But if you are not an obsessive Tolkien-head or haven’t recently rewatched the earlier films, they may go over your heads.

AUSTIN, TX - OCTOBER 07: Anthony Gerard Gonzalez of M83 performs live at Austin City Limits Festival at Zilker Park on October 7, 2016 in Austin, Texas. (Photo by Jim Bennett/FilmMagic) For 15 years, French singer-producer Anthony Gonzalez has explored the commonalities between shoegaze and electronic music in his flagship act M83. The band’s mission and personnel grew with each project, perfecting gauzy two-man ambient sonics on 2003’s Dead Cities, Red Seas, & Lost Ghosts before graduating to nervy electronic rock on 2005’s pivotal Before the Dawn Heals Us and adding an ’80s post-punk veneer on 2008’s Saturdays = Youth.

Excerpts of this interview were originally published along with the Good One podcast episode’s release on November 10, 2020. We are republishing a longer version of the interview today timed to the release of Kreischer’s movie, The Machine. Things involving Bert Kreischer can take on a mythic quality. That doesn’t just include the stories he tells in his stand-up, like the time he got involved with the Russian mafia, but the stories behind those stories.

Matthew McConaughey isn’t here to mess around this Fourth of July, and took to Instagram with a call to action for his fellow Americans. The video is part self-help, part face-mask PSA, and entirely McConaughey’s best performance to date. “Happy 244th birthday, America. Hoo-wee!” McConaughey begins, already vaguely sweaty and wearing a red, white, and blue headband. “We is going through some growing pains in this one, aren’t we?

There is nothing in Francis Ford Coppola’s (perhaps) final testament that feels like something out of a “normal” movie. The moment when an actual live human walked out in front of the movie screen to pose Adam Driver’s Cesar Catilina a question (which Cesar, in the film, proceeded to answer) might, in retrospect, be one of the less bizarre moments in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis. The director’s supreme dream project, which he’s been trying to get off the ground for four decades, arrives at Cannes trailing clouds of speculation, skepticism, and controversy.

Shannon Sharpe did it again. On February 7, the football Hall of Famer sat down with comedian and actor Mo’Nique for a nearly three-hour-long episode of his Club Shay Shay podcast, and just like when he infamously hosted Katt Williams in January, clips from the interview began going viral online even before the episode finished streaming on YouTube. In fact, Mo’Nique references Williams’s interview early and often throughout, going so far as to joke that the two of them are “non-biological” fraternal twins because of their shared need to tell the truth.

Yep, you read that headline right: The latest Twitter non-drama from over the weekend involves Bob Saget, Full House star and comedian, and Car Seat Headrest, indie-rock project of Will Toledo. The story really starts 11 years ago, when Toledo self-released his album 4, which featured a song called “the ghost of bob saget.” As Toledo later explained, the song — which rhymes Saget with a gay slur and features lyrics about giving a blowjob to Saget’s ghost — was inspired by a friend’s comic, Asscastle, which included Saget’s ghost as a character.
