On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films: “Warfare,” a film based on an actual U.S. military operation in 2006, and “Sinners,” which features a face-off between twin brothers and a supernatural evil.

On this week’s show, co-host Nathan Weinbender regales Dan Webster, Mary Pat Treuthart, and anyone else willing to listen with tales of his recent trek to New Orleans to snack on beignets and feast on a menu of horror films at the Overlook Film Festival. They also discuss the independent film “Sacramento,” which opened in Spokane last week.

Actor and comedian Jeremy Piven joined SPR's Owen Henderson to talk about his stand-up tour, being mistaken for his "Entourage" character and his new film, "The Performance." The Bing Crosby Theater will host an upcoming stop of Piven's comedy tour.

"The Ballad of Wallis Island" is about a disgruntled musician, his former partner, and the superfan who brings them back together. Nathan Weinbender says it’s a charming little comedy, especially if you like a distinctly British brand of wit.

The film “Warfare” inserts us in an intense combat situation, even as it ignores the larger political implications, Dan Webster says.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss a four-part Netflix limited miniseries out of England titled “Adolescence,” and the latest entertainment from Steven Soderbergh, titled “Black Bag.”

The third season of the MAX series “The White Lotus” builds toward a disappointing finale, Dan Webster says.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss the British import “The Penguin Lessons,” starring Steve Coogan, then they take a look at the upcoming summer movie season and lay out what they’re most excited, if anything, about seeing.

With an all-star cast and a buzzy premise, “Death of a Unicorn” blends fantasy, comedy and horror. Unfortunately, Nathan Weinbender says, it’s one of the biggest letdowns of the year so far.

Set during an incendiary time, “The Penguin Lessons” fails to rise above its protagonist’s self-involvement, Dan Webster says.
