Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Monday Night Emmys, Matthew Weiner’s Big Screen Debut, and More
The Emmy ceremony is held tonight in Downtown Los Angeles. The event was muscled out of its usual Sunday night slot by the VMAs. We discuss whether old favorites, like Mad Men and Breaking Bad, will hold their own against newer shows like Game of Thrones and Orange is the New Black.
By Madeleine Brand • • 52m ListenThe Emmys are on tonight at 5. It’s the first time in decades the show is not being held on a Sunday. Can new(er) shows, like Orange is the New Black or Game of Thrones dethrone the old favorites, like Mad Men and Breaking Bad? Suge Knight got shot at Chris Brown’s VMA party on Saturday night: not the first time that the hip hop impresario has been involved in a shooting. Also: Mad Men creator Matt Weiner talks about his new movie, “Are You Here,” starring Owen Wilson and Zach Galifianakis.
