    Karina Longworth on Hollywood's Unpredictable Old Men, Plus James Schamus and Andrew Ahn Create a New-Old Classic with The Wedding Banquet

    First, Katey talks to fellow long-time podcaster Karina Longworth about the latest season of her show You Must Remember This, which looks back at how iconic directors like John Huston and William Wyler adapted to the changes in Hollywood in the 1960s — and what we can learn from their struggles. Then, The Wedding Banquet director Andrew Ahn and his co-writer James Schamus talk about their unusual collaboration, working together to remake a film Schamus co-wrote in 1993 with Ang Lee, and update it for a modern audience while maintaining the original's scrappy indie film spirit.

    The White Lotus, Southern Accents and Who Gets It Right, with Landon Bryant

    Mississippi’s own Landon Bryant— better known on the Internet as Landon Talks— joins Katey to talk about his hometown hero Parker Posey and her divisive, instantly iconic performance on the current season of The White Lotus.

    Welcome to Emmy Season, With Elaine Low and Manori Ravindran

    With splashy TV premieres everywhere you look and many more to come, it really is officially Emmy season, but maybe a little too early to get into the weeds of who will win. So instead we're kicking things off with a look at the world of prestige TV, Ankler-style, with two of our Series Business authors, Elaine Low and Manori Ravindran, joining me to talk about the world of TV overall. How do this year's contenders reflect all the anxiety and contraction we're seeing in the industry? How are so many UK imports making such a splash? And which shows are giving us hope that TV might just be OK after all? Subscribe to the Prestige Junkie newsletter.  Follow Katey on X and Letterboxd.  Follow The Ankler.

    Way Too Early Predictions for the 2026 Oscars

    Chris Feil and Joe Reid return to join Katey for a broad overview of the most exciting films ahead this year, from new work from greats like Paul Thomas Anderson, Celine Song and Yorgos Lanthimos to, yes, Wicked: For Good. They also continue their annual tradition of making irresponsibly early best picture predictions, and share some hopes that Colin Farrell, Paul Mescal, Andrew Scott and even some non-Irish actors will have a huge year ahead of them.
