‘Alien: Romulus’ does not disappoint while ‘Chimp Crazy’ goes beyond ‘Tiger King’
Listen now
Description
It was another big week for a franchise this weekend as “Alien: Romulus” premiered and took the top spot at the box office. While the film came nowhere near “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the film topped $40 million domestic, a respectable number for an R-rated movie. Co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz both saw the film and shared their thoughts on where the film fits with the others in the franchise that began back in 1979 with “Alien.” Another horror movie is about to drop, this time on Netflix. The Deliverance, directed by Lee Daniels, got a limited release in theaters and will drop on the streaming service on Aug. 30. The film stars Andra Day, Glenn Close, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor and Mo'Nique, and is inspired by a true story. PBS continues to produce programs highlighting the geniuses of Hollywood, and the next is “Blake Edwards: A Love Story in 24 Frames” that premieres Aug. 27. We have an interview with Lesley Ann Warren, who talks about her experience with Edwards. Finally, if you watched “Tiger King” — and who didn’t watch it? — then you’ll want to catch the latest documentary from Eric Goode, “Chimp Crazy” on HBO and Max. The four episodes that began dropping weekly on Aug. 18 look at the people raising chimpanzees in captivity, and the efforts by PETA to stop them. Contact us! We want to hear from you! Email questions to [email protected] and we'll answer your question on a future episode! About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin.
