Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

What About Bob? Marvel Studios turns to treacherous CIA director Julia Louis-Dreyfus ( Seinfeld ) to help them identify New Avengers to replace their most iconic superheroes, and carry the franchise forward.

Listen Now to find out if former Black Widow Florence Pugh, her drunken surrogate father David Harbour, newly elected Congressman Sebastian Stan, bitter super soldier Wyatt Russell, and barely there Hannah John-Kamen can pull it off.…

College hook-up culture meets the world’s worst grad school project. Natasha Henstridge cashed a big check for a tiny role in Species III , a bargain-bin sequel that trades theaters for dorm rooms and solid science for sci-fi nonsense. Sil’s alien legacy lives on through her daughter, but with less money to burn, things get even dumber. There’s still plenty of aliens, skin, and bad choices to go around.

Book Review: I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan 23:37

Do you think you know what they did last summer? Think again! Our 2025 Summer/Fall Donation Drive kicks off today with our review of I Know What You Did Last Summer, the 1997 slasher that made hook hands cool again. But before the gore, there was... guilt? In this bonus episode, Arnie digs into the 1973 young-adult novel by Lois Duncan. But slasher fans be warned: there's no fisherman, no slickers, and definitely no body count. Just a group of teens, a hit-and-run, and a slow-burning mystery that’s more Nancy Drew than Ghostface. Find out what changed, what got lost in translation, and why Duncan was not thrilled with the adaptation, in this bonus book review podcast.…

First, they gave us The Continental (because who hasn’t wanted a TV show about hotel management?), and now comes Ballerina , the big-screen spin-off where Ana de Armas pirouettes while wielding flamethrowers, claymores, knives, guns.
