What's in store for the music, TV.
And film industries for 2025?
We don't know, but we're making some fun, bold predictions for the new year.
Listen now to the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast from npr.
From WHYY in Philadelphia, I'm Terry Gross with FRESH AIR Weekend.
Today, Jesse Eisenberg talks about writing, directing and starring in the film A Real Pain.
Eisenberg and Kieran Kolkin play cousins who go to Poland on a Jewish heritage tour.
One of the stops is the Majdanek death camp.
We'll talk about the questions the film.
Raises, like what is real pain?
Is my character's manageable, medicated OCD pain valid, or is the only pain that's valid and should be kind of acknowledged is the pain of war and of kind of mass genocide and, you know, mass trauma?
Also, we hear from Pamela Anderson in the new film the Last Showgirl.
She stars as a veteran Vegas dancer who must face the end of her legendary show.
Anderson became a pop culture phenomenon in the late 80s in part because of her role on the series Baywatch.
That's coming up on FRESH AIR Weekend.
