Gene Hackman, Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, Danny Glover, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Luke Wilson star in this month's (obviously) star-studded "Talking Pictures" selection -- "The Royal Tenenbaums"! Join Alex and Larry as they watch one of Larry's top three comedies of all time, which also happens to be a somewhat touching (if pretentious) family drama about a bad dad's misguided attempt to reconnect with his family of spectacular has-beens.

There were two huge movies in the summer of 1977, and this month's episode of "Talking Pictures" sees Alex and Larry discussing the one that didn't introduce the world to lightsabers and Wookies. "Smokey and the Bandit" instead features a Playgirl icon in a fast car, a super-sexy Sally, a "Honeymooner" in hot pursuit, and a country music legend with a hound dog, all in an action-packed comedic plot about moving some Coors beer from one town to another. Also, as a follow-up to last month's feature, there's a little bit of "Man of Steel" talk thrown in for good measure. Enjoy!

In one of the most talkative "Talking Pictures" to date, Larry and Alex revisit the Man of Steel's first feature length adventure just in time for his most recent one, which is hitting screens this month. The pair discuss the hero's history (including the comic books, the tv shows, the cartoons, the movies, etc.), and they also share their hopes and expectations for the new film, all while still managing to comment on the film they are currently watching -- the Richard Donner-helmed "Superman: The Movie". Tune in to the show now!

Author Doug "Ten" Rose joins host Larry Duane to share stories about hitchhiking, doing a ridiculous amount of drugs, feeding the world, and partying with a lesbian band at a concert for the deaf. Ten has certainly led a life of adventure, and his message for Larry and the listeners of "Not Ready For Radio" is both simple and profound: we are all spiritual beings sharing a human experience, so don't be an asshole. Listen now to find out about Ten's mission, and to hear how you can be a part of that mission!

Katie continues her reality show run by chatting with Warren Stone from "The Voice". Unfortunately, she's doing it without much of a voice of her own, but the pair still manage to share a terrific conversation about Warren's experiences on the hit television show, his life as a firefighter in the South, and whether his flirtatious nature creates any issues within his new relationship. They also discuss how to balance following one's dreams with being a good parent. Listen now!

With a new "Star Trek" film arriving in theaters this month, it seems like the ideal time to revisit the franchise's glorious past with a "Talking Pictures" double feature of "Space Seed" from the original series, and "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan".

Katie is joined by returning guests Larry Duane and Kevin Saito, and welcomes newcomer Kristen Duvall, for a discussion about books that have been translated to film.

This month on "Talking Pictures", Alex brings a really funny flick to the show: Mel Brooks' "The Producers".

A few odd tangents are taken, as well. Grab a copy of this classic movie, pop it into your player, and tune in to the podcast to laugh along!

Larry and his guest Quincy, whom you may know from "That Movie Podcast: Film Talk Q&A", discovered a short while ago that they both had similar musical tastes growing up, including an affinity for Christian rock music. In this episode of "Not Ready For Radio", they set out to discuss some of their favorite talents from that ghetto of the music world, but they mostly end up crucifying the religious faith they both used to share.

On the latest episode of "Katie Gets Krabby", Katie opens up about the history of her show, how her religious faith is in flux, and why dating the owner of the network is sometimes a challenge.

This week on "Katie Gets Krabby": Katie and guest co-host Gabriel Lange chat with an actress/model friend about relationship issues, how tough it is to be a giant, and how to handle harsh reviews.

On this month's episode of "Talking Pictures", Larry needs to cleanse his palette after watching a pretty terrible action film in theaters recently, so he and Alex sit down to take in a pretty great action movie from the 1990's: "The Fugitive". Harrison Ford stars as the falsely-accused Dr. Richard Kimble, with Tommy Lee Jones' Sam Gerard hot on his freshly-escaped-from-prison ass. You'll have to forgive our hosts for letting the conversation wane a bit towards the end of the episode; they kinda got sucked in by this terrific flick.

After some time away from the mic, Katie returns to celebrate V-Day with a boy she kinda likes. Click here to listen!
