• 'The Smashing Machine', 'HIM', 'Re-Creation' + Dave Hanratty on 'The Newsroom'

  Ten episodes later, I'm only just now figuring out how to write these synopses a little better. At least I'm not using a gallon of water to get ChatGPT to do it or some shit.Anyway, this week, I'm talking about Dwayne Johnson and the sexual tension between him and an Oscar nomination for 'The Smashing Machine', go off one about the NFL in Croke Park off the back of 'HIM' and if that wasn't enough, Jim Sheridan's back with another take on the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier with 'Re-Creation'.And because this show is about doing too much all at once, Dave Hanratty of the famous NO ENCORE Podcast is our guest this week. His pick? Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom. Three seasons of it, folks. That show got three seasons. Wild shit. What even was that show? We get into it.Enjoying the show? Leave a rating, leave a comment, tell a friend, pet a dog, and be nice to strangers.

• 'One Battle After Another', 'The Dead of Winter' and 'House of Guinness' + Jenn Gannon on '...And Just Like That'

  They say it couldn't be done, they said we were crazy for trying, but we're back.On this week's episode, Jenn Gannon (@thejenngannon) drops by to render the final and complete judgment on '...And Just Like That' and the legacy of 'Sex and the City' as a cultural entity and marker. Elsewhere, I'm reviewing Paul Thomas Anderson's 'One Battle After Another', potentially slandering Sean Penn about his tight shirts, reviewing 'The Dead of Winter' and asking why genre is such a dirty word for some actors, and potentially breaking an embargo with an early review of Netflix's hotly-anticipated new series, 'House of Guinness'.As always, your comments, your ratings, and your subscriptions are much appreciated and always welcomed. In fact, I spent a good chunk of the opening of this episode highlighting one such comment that HIGHLIGHTED the fact that I say "you know that sort of way?"way too much. That's entirely too many ways and entirely too much highlighting. But whatever! We get into it! Good show! Do it up!

• 'The Long Walk' and 'Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale' + Anthony Remedy on 'The Talented Mr Ripley'

  How does a screening for 'Spinal Tap II: The End Continues', a continually frantic journalist, Stephen King's pessimistic worldview, and Jude Law's fashion choices in 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' all connect together?Because it's this episode of SCREENLAND, that's how. First out of the gate are reviews of 'The Long Walk', the long-awaited adaptation of Stephen King's (or Richard Bachman, if you're of a vintage) first-written novel about a totalitarian regime that forces people to walk for miles until all but one survives. Fun! After that, it's 'Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale' and you'll wish to participate in The Long Walk rather than sit through that.After all that, Anthony Remedy (Insta: @anthonyremedy / @no_filler) visits to discuss the sensationally stylish, desperately dangerous, 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' and all of the fashion and murder that oozes from it.RUNNING ORDER00:00 - Intro01:25 - 'Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale' Review03:10 - 'The Long Walk' Review06:15 - Anthony Remedy on 'The Talented Mr Ripley'57:10 - Outro
