What is Helen of Troy and Paris from Greek mythology doing in an English medieval fantasy story about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight?

Anaïs Rizzo who plays Helen of Troy takes us behind the scenes on the mystery of this historical figure out of time and place in David Lowery's adaptation of 'The Green Knight'.

This week we are choosing our factions as we start the Divergent Trilogy! We are entering the world of Tris Prior as she makes the monumental decision to leave the selfless Abnegation and join the brave Dauntless. There’s a lot of romance and sexual tension, so of course your two co-hosts love that part of the story. We also get into the building mysteries, and we’re excited to uncover the answers. What faction do you think each of the hosts would have come from and which one would they have chosen?

Next week we will be reading chapters 21-39 of book 1 in the series, Divergent.

Defending Ahsoka's Walkabout.

When Ahsoka Tano’s first arc hit the screens for the final season of The Clone Wars, fan reaction was surprisingly mixed, and remains so. Matt and John offer some thoughts on why that might be, and their own reactions to the arc with the benefit of time and perspective.

"The Rainmaker" finishes out our 90s Coppola segment and from there we move on to 80s Miyazaki!

But before that happens listen to @kesseljunkie and @drscifi talk this oft-forgotten legal drama.

Dallas and Lee review 'The Last Night in Soho' the latest movie from Edgar Wright.

A young girl, passionate about fashion design, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it seems, and time seems to be falling apart with shady consequences.

As we wrap up the series, we end up feeling more and more like Messenger and less and less like The Giver. We continue Claire’s story as she reclaims her memories, climbs out of the ditch, and finds her way to Gabe. We debate Claire’s trade as well as the successes and failures of the series. Would we recommend this series to a friend? Does the ending really stack up to the hype? How does the whole series feel as we finish it up? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Next week we will be reading chapters 1-20 of Divergent, book 1 in our new series, Divergent.

Happy Halloween, Missing Framers! Celebrate the spooky season with Shawn, Annie and Scott as they discuss Annie and Scott's first viewing of David Lynch's feature debut Eraserhead. Shawn considers this a 'perfect' film - will it hold the same sway over Annie and Scott or will its nightmarish imagery throw them for a loop? All these questions and more will be answered! (Or maybe no questions will be answered at all. This is David Lynch we're talking about...)

Star Trek: Lower Decks, Season Two Wrap-Up. With a flash of “To Be Continued…” on the screen, the sophomore season of “Lower Decks” comes to an end. The trio take a look back at the animated journey of the Cerritos this year. From new characters, new pairings, new stories, and new running gags, it seems like this Star Trek show just keeps improving. Join the discussion of what we liked, what we grumbled about, and what we look forward to in season three.

It's a Timothée Chalamet face off this week with Dune: Part One and The French Dispatch arriving in cinemas.

Derek "Halloween" Young and Darren "Spoons" Moser talk about decision fatigue and its impact on their projects and lives. Sometimes it shows up as a bottleneck of your weekly process or a wall you crash into at the end of a long day. But decision making while making and filming presents its own set of challenges.
