Believe it or not, it’s already been 10 years since the release of James DeMonaco’s breakout hit, “The Purge.” The micro-budget horror film would go on to earn a massive box office and devoted fanbase, spawning four sequels and multi-season TV series. And in honor of the film’s 10th Anniversary, DeMonaco joins The Playlist Podcast to talk about his 2013 hit and how a fractured country inspired him to make a film about people killing each other for sport. Oh yeah, and he also teases what might come in the future. 

As we speed towards the end of the final season of “Mayans M.C.,” we knew eventually the body count would rise. And in Episode 7, “To Fear of Death, I Eat the Stars,” boy, oh boy, does the body count grow. It’s clear the FX crime drama is going to wrap things up in a very, very bloody way. In this episode of Templo Talk: A Mayans M.C. Podcast, we discuss the tragic events of the latest episode of Season 5, as well as feature an interview with someone affected by the bloody events, Joseph Lucero, aka Creeper.

It says a lot about a character when she’s surrounded by macho biker guys who regularly get in fights and kill people and somehow she’s still the most fierce, scariest person there. But that’s how you can describe Adelita, aka Louisa, on “Mayans M.C.” She’s a rebel leader and a killer, but she’s also a caring mother and protector. And in this episode of Templo Talk: A Mayans M.C. Podcast, Carla Baratta, who plays Adelita, joins the show to talk about the final season of the FX series and what makes her character one of the most interesting in the ensemble cast.

The talented duo is promoting their latest film, “The Flash,” which follows Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) discovering that his speed unlocks the ability to change the past that has haunted him and, in turn, plunges him into another timeline where many of the heroes he knows do not exist.

We are officially at the halfway point of the final season of “Mayans M.C.” And in this episode of Templo Talk: A Mayans M.C.

Oh yeah, and we also learn why Michaelangelo’s David sculpture isn’t very well endowed. In addition, there’s a new interview to share with the amazing actor Frankie Loyal, where he talks about Hank and how he’s become one of the beloved characters in the series. Needless to say, there’s a lot to cover.

If you’re a fan of “Mayans M.C.,” you’re well aware of the work of actor JD Pardo. As EZ Reyes, the lead in ‘Mayans,’ Pardo has imbued his character with complicated emotions, so many different layers, and a charisma that has made this series one of the best on TV. Now, as the series rides off into the sunset, Pardo is able to add a new dimension to his work on ‘Mayans’—as a director. And in this episode of Templo Talk: A Mayans M.C. Podcast, JD Pardo talks about the final season and how he was able to make his directorial debut with Episode 4.

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast host Mike DeAngelo gets to reclaim the dark saber with Disney+’s hit series, “The Mandalorian.” Created by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man,” “The Lion King”) & Dave Filoni (“Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” “Star Wars: Rebels”), the show follows the adventures of a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter (Pedro Pascal) as he fights to protect a child in the outer reaches of the galaxy far, far away.

Rob Savage isn’t a household name in horror, yet, but if you look at his most recent work, this is a guy who seems like he is destined for great things in genre filmmaking. And in this episode of The Playlist Podcast, I got the chance to talk to Savage and discuss his newest film, “The Boogeyman,” which is based on a short story by Stephen King.

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast, guest host Joe Scott explores the lives of star-crossed lovers as well as love-crossed country music stars in the award-winning Showtime miniseries "George and Tammy."

Created by Abe Sylvia ("Nurse Jackie," "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," "Hap and Leonard," and "The Affair"), all six episodes of the miniseries were directed by Australian filmmaker John Hillcoat. A veteran helmer of music videos, Hillcoat first broke out in the world of cinema with the brutally austere 2005 western "The Proposition," a movie many critics compared to the Cormac McCarthy novel "Blood Meridian." Interestingly enough, McCarthy agreed with these comparisons, going so far as to give the director permission to adapt his then-unreleased novel “The Road,” which Hillcoat translated to the big screen in 2009.

Dating back to the “Sons of Anarchy” years, the universe that “Mayans M.C.” lives in is overrun with big, macho biker guys. But there are also such great female characters. These women are often more badass and capable than their male counterparts. And we see that quite a bit in Season 5, especially in the character of Letty, played by Emily Tosta. And in this episode of Templo Talk: A Mayans M.C. Podcast, we discuss the latest episode of “Mayans M.C.” and speak with Tosta about the five-year arc Letty has been on and how she has grown into this incredibly layered character.
