Over the past 12 years, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have become two of the premier names in the world of film scores. The musical duo shot out of a cannon back in 2010 with the release of “The Social Network,” with a score that would win an Oscar. From there, they released a number of acclaimed scores and even earned another Oscar. So, even though we were already excited about the release of Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones and All,” the idea that Reznor and Ross were working on the score for a romantic drama about two young cannibals in the ‘80s, seemed too good to be true. And in this episode of The Playlist Podcast, I got the chance to speak with Reznor and Ross about their surprising new score and how their sound has evolved over the years.

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast, host Mike DeAngelo falls in love with, divorces, and falls in love again with FX and Hulu’s new modern divorce drama, “Fleishman is in Trouble.” The show, which premieres today only on Hulu, follows Toby and Rachel Fleishman (played by Jesse Eisenberg & Claire Danes, respectively) as they navigate the murky waters of divorce in their 40’s when it comes to dating apps, sharing custody of their children, old returning friendships, and their professional lives – when, suddenly, one of them goes missing. The eight episode limited series stars Jesse Eisenberg, Claire Danes, Lizzy Caplan, Adam Brody, Josh Radnor, and more.

In the latest episode of The Rogue Ones, our hosts break down their thoughts on Episode 11 of “Andor,” entitled “Daughter of Ferrix,” which dropped on Disney+ today. After the discussion, Andor himself, Diego Luna (“Narcos: Mexico,” “Y Tu mamá también”), joins the podcast to discuss his journeys with the show and its characters. Luna's passion for the show, what it's saying about the world, and working with showrunner, writer, and creator Tony Gilroy is palpable. He clearly is deeply proud of this show and this new perspective they have brought to "Star Wars."

Also on this episode, we're joined by actor Duncan Pow (“Black Mirror”), who plays Melshi, a character who also has a significant role in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”). But what's interesting is that Pow tells us his Melshi character was a creation of Tony Gilroy's 'Rogue One' reshoots. It seems Gilroy loved the actor enough to also want to include him in 'Andor.'

We're back! The Yellowstoners, Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez, have returned to break down another season of “Yellowstone” like a brand-new horse at the Dutton Ranch. Along the way, they’ll also welcome guests from the show to talk about what makes the series so popular, talk about their favorite characters and moments, and tease what's to come.

On this return podcast episode, our hosts throw their ropes around the first two episodes of season five, which premiered yesterday (Sunday, November 13) on Paramount Network, and afterward, we’re going to have a bit of a rewind with some interviews from this past summer with Beth & Rip themselves, Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser.

There were a lot of questions going into the release of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” How would the sequel deal with the sudden passing of Chadwick Boseman, the leader of the franchise? Who is going to suit up as the new Black Panther? And do we really need a villain with pointy ears and winged ankles? Thankfully, Ryan Cooger and his amazing cast have once again delivered a “Black Panther” film that answers all those questions a whole lot more. Like, for real, there’s a lot of movie here. That’s where this episode of The Playlist Podcast comes in.

On program! In the eighth episode of The Rogue Ones, our hosts break down their thoughts on episode ten of "Andor," entitled “One Way Out,” which dropped on Disney+ today. After the discussion, actor Andy Serkis (“Lord of the Rings,” “War for the Planet of the Apes,” “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “The Batman”)  joins the podcast to talk about re-joining the Star Wars universe as another character, Kino Loy.

During the interview, Andy Serkis detailed his reluctance to rejoin the "Star Wars" universe if only because of the fan theories it would spawn, but he obviously got passed that quickly.

In the seventh episode of The Rogue Ones, our hosts break down their thoughts on episode nine, entitled “Nobody’s Listening,” which dropped on Disney+ today. After the discussion, director Toby Haynes (“Sherlock,” “Black Mirror,” “Brexit”) joins the podcast to talk about COVID changing the production, working with Andy Serkis, and more.

During the interview, Toby Haynes talked about speaking with showrunner Tony Gilroy and producer Sanne Wohlenberg about directing one to three episodes, which completely changed after the pandemic lockdown. The original plan was for Tony Gilroy to direct the first episodes of the series, but COVID made that nearly impossible. Haynes ended up directing many more episodes than he thought he would and broke it all down for us in this engaging new episode of 'The Rogue Ones.'

In today’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo puts on his accordion and talks about The Roku Channel’s latest release, “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” with the director Eric Appel (“Son of Zorn,” “Funny or Die Presents…”) and star Daniel Radcliffe (the “Harry Potter” films, “Swiss Army Man,” “Miracle Workers”). The parody film follows Weird Al’s life from weird, polka-obsessed child to world-renowned rockstar to depraved, alcoholic, Madonna-loving Sex God.

If there are two things you probably know about Taran Killam, it’s that he is a really funny guy and he absolutely loves Los Angeles Rams football. Lucky for him, he’s able to use both of those skills and passions for his new show, “The NFL Pile On.” And in this episode of The Playlist Podcast, I was able to talk to Killam about poking fun at the NFL on his new show, his undying LA Rams fandom, and a little bit about that old show he was on, something called “Saturday Night Live” or whatever.

War films hold a special place in the history of film. Nearly since the beginning of the medium, filmmakers have been using film to show the horrors of war. These are, sadly, timeless stories that are always relevant. Enter Edward Berger and his new film, “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Based on the novel of the same name, which is regarded as one of the finest war stories of all time, ‘All Quiet’ is just as relevant today as it was nearly 100 years ago when it was released. And Berger joins The Playlist Podcast to talk about making this film, being the first German filmmaker to tackle the story, and more.
