Streamed & Screened: Movie and TV Reviews and Interviews

Movies as Broadway shows, a brutal start to the summer movie season and 'Clipped'


Listen Later

Would you see a musical adaptation of "The Notebook" or "Back to the Future"? Maybe "Water for Elephants" or "The Great Gatsby" is more your thing.

These are just some examples of how movies are now being adapted into musicals, rather than the other way around. Co-host Bruce Miller talks about his recent trip to New York where he spent a week seeing some of the hottest shows on Broadway, plus he shares his experience getting an autograph from Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, after a performance of "Merrily We Roll Along."

And do you remember around this time last year, when films like "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" and "Fast X" were making a splash at the box office? 2024's summer movie season is stumbling after a sluggist opening for "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" over Memorial Day weekend. The family-friendly fim "IF" has struggled. And even this year's box office leader, "Dune: Part Two," has yet to yet to reach $300 million domestic. (You can see the full list at Box Office Mojo.)

We discuss some of the problems facing the industry, most notably the quick move to streaming services.

And finally, the new FX for Hulu limited series "Clipped" begins June 4. It features Ed O'Neill as Donald Sterling, the former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, and Cleopatra Coleman as V. Stiviano. Hear from both stars on this week's episode.
