Steve Bannon's Podcast Is Back On Spotify 5 Years After He Suggested Beheading Government Officials
Five years after Steve Bannon said he'd put government officials' 'heads on pikes,' his podcast 'WarRoom' is no longer suspended at Spotify. Bannon tells the New York Post that his content hasn't changed much in the years since, and described it as 'the same' in a June interview. Previously, Bannon had served as the White House's Chief Strategist during President Donald Trump's first term, though he left in 2017 after clashing with other aides. He's since remained an influential voice in the MAGA sphere, including via the WarRoom podcast, which publishes a number of times a week and has been dubbed a 'far-right 'Meet the Press'' by The Washington Post. A Spotify spokesperson told HuffPost that the decision to host Bannon's new WarRoom episodes follows a 'temporary suspension and constructive dialogue with the show's team.' The spokesperson did not specify what that dialogue addressed and if any changes had been made to the show that led to its reinstatement, however. Spotify removed an episode of WarRoom in November 2020 after Bannon suggested beheading government officials, including then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and then-FBI Director Christopher Wray. 'I'd actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I'd put the heads on pikes, right, I'd put them [Fauci and Wray] at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats,' Bannon said in the episode. 'You either get with the program or you're gone – time to stop playing games,' he added. 'Spotify won't tolerate content on our platform that promotes, advocates or incites hatred or violence,' a Spotify spokesperson told Gizmodo in November 2020 about removing the WarRoom episode. 'The content in question has been removed due to multiple violations of our policy.' Spotify went on to temporarily suspend the show altogether, according to the company spokesperson, because several episodes published in 2020 broke its Platform Rules, which urge creators to avoid content that promotes violence. Bannon, meanwhile, claimed in the New York Post interview that his remarks in that episode were metaphorical and not literal threats of violence. 'I made a comment two days before about Thomas More in 'A Man for All Seasons,' where they put his head on a pike, and we said it metaphorically about Christopher Wray and Dr. Fauci,' he said. After the November 2020 episode, accounts associated with Bannon were also suspended from Twitter and YouTube. WarRoom was still hosted by Apple Podcasts during that time, however, and continued to reach numerous listeners via that platform. The show's return to Spotify comes as multiple tech platforms have reversed past suspensions of President Donald Trump and his allies in recent years, and as a number of Silicon Valley executives have sought to build cozier relationships with the White House. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) also drew fierce criticism from Democrats earlier this year for giving Bannon a platform on his own podcast, a move he defended by stating that he wanted to 'engage' with different ideas. 'I can give a punch and I can take a punch — the MAGA movement prides itself in being resilient,' Bannon told the New York Post about his return.

How ‘Will Trent' star Ramón Rodriguez became an industry game-changer
ABC's 'Will Trent' is no ordinary police procedural. 'There's a thousand cop shows,' said Ramón Rodriguez, who portrays the show's main character, Will Trent. 'How do you make this one stand out?' The broadcast drama series, which also airs on Hulu, centers special agent Trent: a dapper investigator whose instinctual crime-solving skills render him essential to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. But beneath the three-piece suit, there's a more complex side to Trent, who navigates the residual trauma from being abandoned at birth and growing up in the Atlanta foster care system. He is also dyslexic. 'One of the exciting things when I came onto the show was not knowing where this character was from,' said Rodriguez, 45. 'Trent was very much [written as] a colorless character.' Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Rodriguez greeted me on a Zoom call from his present home in Southern California, while wearing a New York Knicks cap. Before 'Will Trent,' he previously played the first main Hispanic character on the HBO series 'The Wire,' and appeared in films such as 2009's 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and 'G20,' a thriller featuring Viola Davis, which premiered April 10 on Amazon Prime Video. Since the 2023 premiere of 'Will Trent,' Rodriguez has molded his beloved character in many ways; he's a hard-nosed detective with a mushy side, which is most evident in scenes with his pocket-sized chihuahua named Betty. Based on Karin Slaughter's New York Times-bestselling novel series 'Will Trent,' showrunners Liz Heldens and Daniel Thomsen organically tailored the titular role to reflect Rodriguez's real-life Puerto Rican identity. It's a major win for Latinos in an industry that otherwise lacks Latino-led programming. 'Once we run out of feeling fresh, creative, excited and inspired, then I think we start phoning it in,' said Rodriguez. 'But that's something I'm not interested in and I know my partners aren't either.' Rodriguez has taken on roles behind the camera as well. He directed 'I'm a Guest Here,' the first episode of Season 3, which wrapped earlier this month; he was also named an executive producer. 'I really wanted to be a part of the creative collaboration of creating this character in this show,' said Rodriguez. When Season 3 dropped a bombshell regarding Trent's biological father, it paved the way for a nail-biting Season 4, which was confirmed earlier this year. This interview has been edited and shortened for clarity. It also reveals Season 3 spoilers. In the books, Will Trent isn't Puerto Rican, but this series is peeking into your own Puerto Rican identity. What are your thoughts on that? It was a topic that they were curious about exploring. Where does Will come from as an orphan who grew up in the foster care system? Identity becomes a focal point for someone like that. Again [him being Puerto Rican] isn't in the books, which is kind of exciting. We've been able to separate and say that the books are the books. It wasn't something that we were trying to sort of check a box and say, 'Great, Will's heritage is Puerto Rican.' It was a very organic explanation of this character discovering who he is. When you were cast for the lead, did you ever picture the show as what it is today? You never know what's gonna work and why it's gonna work. You don't have control of a lot of things in this business. The one thing I do have control over is my work, what I can bring to it, what I try to do. This is the first time I've been on a show that's gone on for this long from the pilot. If you would've asked me that, is this gonna be the show that goes past one season? I probably would've said, 'I don't think so.' And it's nothing against the show, you just don't know. It took a minute for me to be fully convinced, but I'm so grateful that they were willing to continue having conversations with me and that they were really willing to have me on as a partner because that was important to me. It doesn't feel like the show hinges on those elements of identity. Why is it important to keep that balance in this procedural show? [Solving cases is] another aspect of the show that I know audiences love. I just think the things that tend to pull our hearts to the things that are emotional and personal things, what someone's struggling with or how are they overcoming it. In Season 3, we have a really pivotal moment where Will accidentally shoots a bad guy, but ends up killing a young boy by accident. That case ended up changing the rest of the season — he was not able to recover from that event of having the boy die in his arms. That was Episode 11 and that will likely go into Season 4. Your dog Betty also shines in Season 3. We get to hear her voice for the first time which happens during a fun hallucination scene. What was it like to film that episode? That was two episodes after this tragic episode I just described, which is crazy, right? We wanted to mix levity and humor with our heavy drama and emotional stuff. So as Will was entering this case that involved a cult, he gets caught undercover and in that process he gets drugged. Liz Heldens, one of our showrunners, had been dying to find a way to get me to dance on this show, and I was like 'Listen: Will Trent is an awkward individual, he's not someone that's out here dancing.' She was like, 'Well, what if that's a hallucination?' I was like, 'That's brilliant!' Anything can happen while he's tripping. I remember I was walking on set and one of our production assistants, Tim, had read the script and said, 'What if Betty talks?' So I pitched that to Liz and she topped it and went, 'Well, what if Betty's British?' You made your directorial debut in Season 3. How was that experience for you? I felt like a kid in a candy store. By Season 3, I really understood the character and what works with our show, where our strengths are. I just got to be me in certain scenes, because at the start of the [third] season Will has left the [Georgia Bureau of Investigation], he's got a beard and he's in a T-shirt, jeans and curly hair. It was also fun to direct new cast members. We introduced Gina Rodriguez, who played Marion Alba, and Antwayn Hopper, who played Rafel Wexford. Which was really fun. I'd be like: 'No notes.' [Laughs.] Will you be directing in Season 4? I will definitely be directing at least one episode next season. It makes the most sense for me to direct the premiere as I did this past season. I love that pressure of having to set the bar for a season. What can audiences expect for the upcoming season? We're about to begin these serious conversations. There were some pretty serious cliffhangers at the end of Season 3, where we find out Angie Polaski (Erika Christensen) is pregnant, and Will is definitely not the father, so that's gonna be something to explore. Amanda Wagner (Sonja Sohn), who is a maternal figure for Will, is in the hospital bed. We just discovered his dad, [Sheriff Caleb Roussard], which we don't know too much about, so I'd want to know more about the character and what happened with the mom. There's just so many questions that we will get to explore — I mean, is there new love in Will's life?

Clint Eastwood Says Hollywood Has Too Many Sequels: Where Is the Next ‘Casablanca'?
UPDATE: In a statement to Deadline on Monday, June 2, Clint Eastwood disputed ever giving the interview with the Austrian newspaper Kurier and called the comments in it 'entirely phony.' 'A couple of items about me have recently shown up in the news,' Eastwood told Deadline. 'I thought I would set the record straight. I can confirm I've turned 95. I can also confirm that I never gave an interview to an Austrian publication called Kurier, or any other writer in recent weeks, and that the interview is entirely phony.' More from IndieWire What Can Wes Anderson's Platform Openings Tell Us About How 'The Phoenician Scheme' Will Do at the Box Office? From 4chan to A24: Why Kane Parsons Is the New Cinderella Story ORIGINAL STORY: Clint Eastwood wants Hollywood to only greenlight original films instead of relying on sequels and franchise installments. The auteur, who yes, did have his own franchise with five 'Dirty Harry' films, clarified that after directing features for decades, he now sees the value in standalone works instead. The 'Juror #2' director told Austrian newspaper Kurier, as translated by Reuters, that Hollywood has to exit the 'era of remakes and franchises' to usher in new classics. 'I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like 'Casablanca' in small bungalows on the studio lot, when everyone had a new idea,' Eastwood said. 'We live in an era of remakes and franchises. I've shot sequels three times, but I haven't been interested in that for a long while. My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home.' Eastwood credited the studio system for inspiring his directing career, which began in 1971 with 'Play Misty for Me,' in which he also starred. His enduring legacy will continue so long as he can still make movies, the Oscar winner assured. 'As an actor, I was still under contract with a studio, was in the old system, and thus forced to learn something new every year,' Eastwood said, 'and that's why I'll work as long as I can still learn something, or until I'm truly senile.' He added that he has no plans to retire and will still be working 'for a long time yet,' saying, 'There's no reason why a man can't get better with age. And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I'm not one of them.' Eastwood previously told The Metrograph that he doesn't reflect on past films too much. 'If I'm happy with it, that's it. As far as if anybody else has a different feeling about it, well that's theirs. I'm sure I've had disappointments. If I did, I wouldn't dwell on them,' he said, adding of his film legacy as a whole, 'That would be up to them, to the audiences, to answer. Up to the people on the outside. I just kind of go along. I consider this, again, emotional. It comes upon you. You have a story, you make a movie of it. You have to just go for it. If you think too much about how it happened you might ruin it. I go back and look at films I've made, and I could easily ask, 'Why the heck did I make this?' I don't remember! It might have been a long time ago…' Best of IndieWire Guillermo del Toro's Favorite Movies: 56 Films the Director Wants You to See 'Song of the South': 14 Things to Know About Disney's Most Controversial Movie Nicolas Winding Refn's Favorite Films: 37 Movies the Director Wants You to See
