It’s a new season for Streamed & Screened, and with it comes a new co-host as Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises, joins longtime host Bruce Miller.

After quizzing Terry on the recent films and shows he’s watched, Bruce shares his thoughts on this year’s Oscar nominations, the new Tom Brady-themed film “80 for Brady” and some insight into “How I Met Your Father.”

The focus of this show is an interview with Oscar-nominated filmmaker R. J. Cutler about his new four-part documentary on Jack Roland Murphy — otherwise known as “Murf the Surf” — “television’s first true crime celebrity.” 

“Murf the Surf” begins Feb. 5 on MGM+ and you can read more about the show here:

We also plan out a discussion for the next episode on the reboot of “Night Court,” including an interview Bruce had with one of the show’s stars, Lacretta.

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.
