Lost Cultures: Living Legacies
On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

What do you do when beavers become a problem? If you're Idaho in the 1940s—you toss 'em out of airplanes, obviously. In one of the most bizarre (and oddly effective) wildlife relocation plans in American history, Idaho officials came up with a truly unhinged solution: strap parachutes to live beavers and drop them from the sky into the backcountry. In this hilarious and curious episode, Shea and Jody dig into the Great Beaver Drop of 1948 and the logistics, ethics, and wild ingenuity behind it. From test beavers to confused fish & game departments, this episode will have you laughing and saying "Only in Idaho..."

Directed by industry legend Steven Soderbergh, written by industry legend David Koepp, and starring industry legends Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender, this story of married high-level British spies set at odds is brilliant, exciting, and visually beautiful. With an extraordinary ensemble cast (Gustaf Skarsgard, Tom Burke, Marisa Abela, and Naomie Harris) that includes an erstwhile James Bond 007, Pierce Brosnan, as well as “Bridgerton” heartthrob Rege-Jean Page, twists and turns and uncertainties abound around six intelligence employees. With precision and clarity, the film explores themes of marriage, loyalty (both national and personal), as well as toxic office politics. It’s enormous fun. Let’s get into it!

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedCONTENT WARNING: the Holocaust, WWII, and self-harm Today we’re discussing the Sundance-premiered indie drama, “A Real Pain” (Searchlight Pictures, 2024). Written, directed, and starring Jesse Eisenberg alongside a sparkler-bright performance by Kieran Culkin, “A Real Pain” follows odd-couple cousins on a Holocaust tour of Poland to honor their survivor grandmother who recently passed. This small tour group comprised of recent retirees (Liza Sadovy, Daniel Oreskes), a divorcee (Jennifer Grey), a Rwandan genocide survivor (Kurt Egyiawan), and an Oxford scholar (Will Sharpe) play as an audience for the familial clashes and uncomfortable vulnerability of these two men who were once inseparable but seem now irreparably separate. Profound, funny, heart-breaking, and cathartic, “A Real Pain” is a road movie for the ages. Let’s get into it!

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedToday we’re reviewing recently-released mountainous monster movie, “Elevation” (Vertical Entertainment, 2024). Produced by Brad Fuller — who brought you all the Purge movies and all the Quiet Place films — and starring Anthony Mackie as one of the survivors of an alien apocalypse 3 years prior, we begin clustered in a 200-person village in the Colorado Rockies, where residents are menaced by unkillable monsters at any elevation lower than 8,000 feet. But necessity leads a group of survivors (Mackie, Morena Baccarin, and Maddie Hasson) to launch a perilous plan to descend 3,000 feet to the city of Boulder for medical supplies and answers. Beautifully acted, narratively thrilling, and set against some of America’s most stunning landscapes, “Elevation” (2024) represents a triumph of the human spirit. Let’s get into it!

Winner of the golden palm award (Palme d’Or) at this years Cannes Film Festival, this romantic comedy/drama follows exotic dancer, “Ani”/“Anora” (Mikey Madison) in a Cinderella-esque whirlwind romance with Ivan (Mark Eydelshteyn), a Russian oligarch’s son.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedToday we’re discussing the #1 Netflix streaming film, “Woman of the Hour” (2024). Starring Anna Kendrick in her directorial debut, this movie fictionalizes a very real, very weird moment in 1970s cultural history, the day a prolific serial killer won the “Dating Game” — a popular matchmaking show from the time. What we’re presented with is a fascinating commentary on post-Sexual Revolution gender politics and the brazen social behaviors that men modeled during that era and that women had to slyly outwit. The film is funny, scary, and rich with insight. Let’s get into it!
