Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 9.2k ratings
  • Trashy story about Hollywood

    I don’t think the details associated with “intimacy coaches” and their methods for Hollywood actors making R rated movie scenes qualifies as beneficial reporting.

    There are better elements of culture to highlight.

    This is the same NPR that begged for donations after federal funding was pulled.

Nolan's 'The Odyssey': a tale of a hero and trickster retold for modern times
Q: Why shoot in IMAX and what trade-offs did you accept or refuse?
Nolan explains there were no trade-offs accepted; IMAX would only be used if it could be done without compromising performances, leading to innovative camera systems and a method-driven process to keep the acting authentic.
Nolan's 'The Odyssey': a tale of a hero and trickster retold for modern times
Q: What were the core ideas you wanted to build the movie around when you started?
The two big ideas are the homecoming narrative, or no-stos, and the concept of hospitality and divine encounter, which Nolan explains as Zeus' Law; these frame how characters interact and how the modern adaptation maintains the moral center of the ancient poem.
At a fiery hearing, President Trump’s pick for Attorney General faces tough questions

Q: What did this year's tournament teach us?
It demonstrated soccer's rising resonance in the U.S., the power of star narratives like Messi and the youth like Yamal to captivate audiences, and how dramatic, emotion-driven play can keep fans engaged beyond the final whistle.

Q: So Ashley, you said that some of these claims and issues were already known. Can we just take one example and walk through that? Okay, so let's go with something that caught in my ear last night.
The discussion focused on the claim that China accessed voter registration data; the panel explained that US intelligence had noted this in 2020 and that while the data is accessible publicly in many states, there is no evidence that this affected voting outcomes.
