For the first time ever, all six Now Playing Podcast hosts are together, and somehow everyone manages to keep their pants on. Mostly.

In this Intermission podcast: Stuart discovers his inner Broadway fan; Brock boldly goes back to Star Trek: The Next Generation; Jason gears up for Formula One in Las Vegas; and Justin explores haunted houses and the Brat Pack. Meanwhile, Arnie and Marjorie return from Universal's Halloween Horror Nights with tales of questionable Cenobites, a Universal Studios tour guide's worst nightmare, and some very expensive home decorating ideas.

Then it's time for Impossible Arnie Trivia, as one brave listener faces a gauntlet of Godzilla questions with an enormous prize package on the line.

Finally, the hosts open the listener mailbag to answer your burning questions. How has nearly 20 years of Now Playing changed their lives? How do they take notes in dark movie theaters? Would they rather celebrate a masterpiece or tear apart a cinematic disaster? And which movies are they still dying to review?

It's musicals, monsters, movies, memories, and more on November's stuffed Intermission podcast!

Getting Into Characters

Batman would have one less problem in Gotham if Tom Rhys Harries (Slaughterhouse Rulez) had won an Oscar rather than gotten carved up by mobsters in the 2026 origin story Clayface. Can this disfigured celebrity reclaim his looks and movie-star status once scientist Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) fills his pores with A.I. nanocells that allow the method actor to literally stretch? Or does staying bent out of shape at the folks who canceled his career typecast this versatile thespian as an unlovable villain? Hear Now Playing give DC Studios an earful today!
