Premiering May of 2023, "Silo," the new sci-fi Apple TV+ series that launched as the highest-rated drama debut on the platform, defies what you think it is. It is cerebral, bold science fiction, excitedly blending elements of murder mystery, western, and dystopian conspiracy with a post-apocalyptic world, and Rebecca Ferguson leads as a reluctant gearhead sheriff with an attitude problem. I recently had the chance to do a deep-dive with many on the production team, talking with screenwriter Graham Yost, director Morten Tyldum, cinematographer Mark Patten, composer Atli Örvarsson, and production designer Gavin Bocquet on what went into making this beautiful, compelling sci-fi mystery-drama. Please take a listen and be sure to check out "Silo," which is now available to stream on Apple TV+ and is up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories. Enjoy!

For this week's second podcast review, Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Lauren LaMagna, Danilo Castro, Alyssa Christian, and I are reviewing the latest film from director Richard Linklater, "Hit Man," starring Glen Powell, Adria Arjona, Austin Amelio & Retta. After making its way through the 2023 fall film festivals, the acclaimed dark romantic comedy is now finally available to stream on Netflix. What did we think of it after months of festival hype? How does it play on Netflix compared to watching it in a theater? What did we think of the writing, performances, the sexual chemistry between its two leads, and the twisted ending? Tune in as we discuss these points, its awards season potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

Anthony Boyle has taken over Apple TV+. The Irish star, previously best known for roles in The "The Plot Against America," "Tolkien," and "Tetris," stars in two Emmy-contending limited series for the streamer. In the World War II epic "Masters Of The Air," Boyle is Air Force Lieutenant Harry Crosby, a good man determined to get his boys home safely, with Boyle's narration grounding the lush, character and CGI-heavy series. But Boyle's talent truly shines in the stark contrast between his roles. In "Manhunt," he takes on the infamous American villain John Wilkes Booth, a role that required a completely different physicality and mental preparation from the Olivier-winning theater actor turned TV star. In conversation with Boyle, what stands out most is not just his impressive range, finally on proper display for American audiences, but also the careful consideration Boyle took in crafting these intimate portrayals. Please be sure to check out the shows, which are now available to stream on AppleTV+ and are up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories. Thank you, and enjoy!
