With the two Hollywood strikes in the rearview mirror, there are a lot of new programs to keep us entertained. The latest limited series from FX, which will also stream on Hulu, is "Shōgun," which is based on the 1975 novel that was also turned into a 1980 miniseries. This week, co-host Bruce Miller talks with Cosmo Jarvis, who stars in the series. After that, co-host Terry Lipshetz shares his thoughts on three programs: "Masters of the Air" from Apple TV+ and "True Detective: Night Country" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on HBO. "Masters of the Air" is the latest World War II epic limited series from Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, who previously brought us "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" and does not disappoint. "True Detective: Night Country" is the fourth installment in the "True Detective" anthology series that has been a bit uneven at times, particularly season 2. But the latest season, which stars Jodie Foster and Kalie Reis, is a bit tighter with only six episodes and leaves you guessing until the end. "Curb Your Enthusiasm" recently returned for its 12th and final season. How will Larry David wrap up a show that has stretched nearly a quarter century? Contact us! We want to hear from you!

Since the Hollywood strikes slowed production, much of what normally would've made up the fall television season has slowly been debuting since the start of the near year. The list of returning shows includes favorites like "Grey's Anatomy," "The Good Doctor," "Young Sheldon" and "Blue Bloods." "Masters of the Air," which recently debuted on AppleTV+, is from Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, who were the producers of "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific." And the latest season of "True Detective" is about halfway through its run on HBO. "True Detective: Night Country" stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis. Co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz discuss those programs and more, including the Candian comedy "Son of a Critch" that has made its way to American audiences via The CW.

I'm Terry Lipshetz, managing editor of the national newsroom for Lee and co-host of the program with Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and a longtime entertainment reporter, and like me, a dedicated, professional couch potato. Bruce Miller: Oh, the TV is never off in my house. It's always on. It's my family. I'm always watching something. When you started with the pandemic, that's all we had, and then it's just kind of leached over to the rest of our lives. And so now TV is the thing, right? Terry Lipshetz: Yeah. I think back, too, to even the pandemic. Not that I needed another reason to get back into watching more TV, because none of us really need that, but it was a good opportunity to explore a lot of shows because everything got shut down. So it's like, what are you going to do? You can only take so many walks around the block and that kind of thing. So it got me a little bit back into watching some shows, exploring some streaming services that I hadn't really discovered before now, even though, as we talked about in the last episode, with movies, I don't have a lot of time to get to the movie theater. I can always squeeze in one or two episodes of a sitcom, of a drama on Netflix, on Hulu, each and every night. I've seen a lot of what you would probably call premium, top notch television shows from the past year. So I came up with the top ten list. I know you have a top ten list. Bruce Miller: This was going to be a year where nothing was going to happen because we had strikes and didn't think there was going to be even a fall TV season. I think at the end of the year, we got a few really barn burners. We can still look at 2023 as a great TV year, and 2024, it's even going to be better. Terry Lipshetz: Yes. Bruce Miller: Okay. Terry Lipshetz: Absolutely. Bruce Miller: So what's in your number ten spot? Terry Lipshetz: My number ten spot are a series of kind of, like, honorable mentions because I got down, there's like three shows, four shows, which were absolutely at the top of my list. But as I went a little further down, it got a little bit more difficult. So I gave an honorable menti

2023 was perhaps the best movie year since the pandemic. There were multiple blockbusters in the theater, with "Barbie" and "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" both topping $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales. Beside seats in theaters filling up, there were plenty of great movie options both domestic and foreign that will be competing for awards in the coming months. Co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz talk about their favorite movies of the year, with Miller offering his own Top 10 list.

I'm Terry Lipshetz, managing editor of the national newsroom at Lee, and co-host of the program with Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and a longtime entertainment reporter and someone who has seen way more movies than I have this year. Way more. Why am I here? Bruce Miller: You're here because I need you. If you're not there, I. I'm just talking into the woods. I'll tell you, I tried to figure out how many movies I see in a year. Now this is just movies. This is not TV show movies or streaming or anything like that. And I figured one year, it was around 300. And so if you multiply that times 40 years, that's a lot of movies. And those are only ones that I would do for work purposes, not ones that I would go back. And wizard of Oz doesn't count in that, because you'd see that more than once. The Godfather. I've seen the Godfather so much, I could do the line, it's a strange year because we didn't know what was going to happen with the strikes. We didn't know if we would get things, if they would hold things, what would happen. And right now, at the end of the year, there is a plethora of, movies that are opening. It's your chance to really get after it. If you haven't looked at movies, now's your time. So, Terry, how about your year? How was your year? Terry Lipshetz: It's typical as a parent who's got a busy job and lots of kid, you know, we got to the movies. We saw some of the big ones. We saw Mario Brothers, which was a fun movie. Really enjoyed seeing that one. We went to see Barbie. Definitely an Oscar contender. This is not a doll movie, so love that one. We recently saw the Hunger Games prequel. We went to see Indiana Jones. I saw the flash, the family and I. We did see elemental. So we've gotten out, we've seen some movies. We've left the house. 2020 is in the rear view mirror, and we are back to theaters. We already have plans for our, Christmas break to go see Wonka. Bruce Miller: What guides the choices, do you say? Well, if we're taking the kids, it has to be kid friendly. Or do you say, kids, you're going to an r rated movie? I don't care. Terry Lipshetz: I don't want to say we're super strict, but we do like to look at. We'll check out, like rotten tomatoes. We'll check out common sense media. And we'll use our own best judgment to try to figure out what to go see. We don't allow them to see r rated movies yet. With the PG 13 movies, we look at them pretty closely. We try to see, okay, why is it pg 13? Is it just a few bad words? Is there nudity? I mean, usually PG 13 doesn't get nudity. You might get a butt in there e

'Tis the season ... awards season, that is! The Golden Globes nominations are out, kicking off the entertainment awards season that will culminate with the Academy Awards. "Barbie" edged out "Oppenheimer" for the most nominations (you can get the full list here) and we break down some of the top nominees. Actor David Rysdahl played a part in two of this year's nominees, first as Donald Hornig, a chemist at Los Alamos, in the movie "Oppenheimer," and now as Wayne Lyon in the current season of "Fargo." He will also appear in the upcoming "Alien" series that is being led by Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley. Rysdahl talks about those roles in an interview with co-host Bruce Miller. Be sure to tune in for the final two episodes of the year that look back at the top movies and tv shows of 2023.

I'm Terry Lipshetz, managing editor of the national newsroom at Lee and co-host of the program of Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and longtime entertainment reporter. Bruce ’tis the season. The season is here. Award season. Bruce Miller: It's award season. Never mind the holidays. I think that's a better holiday to celebrate. Great, right? Because you don't have to buy gifts and you just get, the only thing. Terry Lipshetz: You might be buying are subscriptions, subscriptions to streaming services and ways, to watch if you've missed anything, like I have. Bruce Miller: YouTube can be a critic. All you need to do is have all the services so you can see everything. You can walk in my shoes for a day or two. I'll tell you, I have been watching movies around the clock, I kid you not. And I've been seeing a lot of things this week. We came out with the Golden Globe nominations and those were kind of underground for a while. They know. Terry Lipshetz: I was like, I don't think. Bruce Miller: We’re going to give them any attention this year because they've had some kind of organizational problems, but it's going to be on CBS and Paramount plus. So I think they have a profile. And even some of the nominees said, well, I don't know how to react to this. So there you are. But it is a great bellwether for the Oscars because they hit just about all of the films that would likely be nominated for something. You'll still see some stray ones, but I think, for the most part, the big names are in there. Terry Lipshetz: Well, and going back to some of the episodes we did this past summer, particularly around Barbenheimer, which know, the big moment of the time we talked about know Barbie is a movie you have to take seriously. This isn't some kid movie about the doll. And we predicted that Barbie could be a big showing at Oscar season. Bruce Miller: It led everything here and it's dominating the music categories. I think it has three nominations in the Golden Globes for best song. Now that says something. Did you think it was a musical? I didn't think it was a musical necessarily, but I wouldn't doubt that the best song Oscar winner would come from Barbie. Terry Lipshetz: Best original song. Six nominees, three of them are from Barbie. I'm not great at math, but three out of six seems like a pretty good odd to, win so

Bruce, we're back. Bruce Miller: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We've got a lot of stuff unpacked because this is the week that they start opening up. A lot of new shows, a lot of new specials, a lot of new films on. Were we were really worried there for a while. But I think we're in a good place right now. There are a lot of things that we want to see. Candy cane Lane. Have you heard of this? Terry Lipshetz: I have not, no. Bruce Miller: Eddie Murphy. It's where he gets a chance to kind of play like Tim Allen or Chevy Chase. And it's his big Christmas thing that's coming out this week. And it's one of those kind of I want to be Clark Griswold. I want to have the house decorated with the most lights of anybody. It's Eddie Murphy then? Diary of a wimpy kid. Cabin Fever. Christmas cabin fever. are you a Wimpy Kid fan? Terry Lipshetz: No. That kind of predated me a little bit. Bruce Miller: It's since kind of switched because it was live action. Now it's animated. And this is a movie movie thing about he gets in trouble with a snowplow and he wants to cover his tracks so nobody knows about it because he really wants a gaming system. Sounds just like Terry. And then he has to try and figure out how he's going to promote the lie without being found out. And it's really cute. I saw it and I was like, this is pretty good. This is a nice little look at this. Terry Lipshetz: Need a little more family stuff out there, too. Bruce Miller: That's what we're throwing out there. We have the Doctor Who special. Are you a big Doctor Who fan? Terry Lipshetz: Never. Never got into it, no. Bruce Miller: Well, they're going to introduce the new Doctor Who. They're going to throw back to some of the old ones. That's a big thing that's coming this week. Then we get into what I'd like to call the documentary area. A lot of documentaries are out there. American Symphony. I think I might have mentioned this before with John Baptiste. Fascinating. Fascinating. I watched it over the weekend. A
