The entertainment world lost a number of legends recently, including Maggie Smith of "Downton Abbey" and the "Harry Potter" films as well as actor and musician Kris Kristofferson.

We also lost a pair sports icons who dazzled on television screens in baseball great Pete Rose and basketball defensive legend Dikembe Mutombo.

The biggest film debut of the past week might also be the most disappointing — and a likely contender for worst film of the year — in the Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis." Co-host Bruce Miller took one for the team and sat through the film, with few good things to share.

He does rave, however, about one of this falls new programs, "English Teacher," which is the latest in the really good shows to come from FX. Miller also shares an interview with Jenn Lyon, who has breakout role in the show.

When it comes to "Grotesquerie," there is a lot of mystery surrounding the horror drama that just premiered on FX with episodes heading to Hulu the next day.

The latest series from Ryan Murphy ("Nip/Tuck," "Glee," "American Horror Story," "9-1-1") features Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in some capacity, but the showrunner and the program's stars are not revealing much.

In this episode, co-host Bruce Miller has two sets of interviews, first with Micaela Dimond and Nicholas Chavez, and then with Courtney B. Vance and Raven Goodwin.

Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz then talk about the biggest movie in theaters right now, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" that is a bit underwhelming. The hosts also chat about another sequel, "Transformers One."

It was another big night for "Shogun" during the main event of the 76th annual Emmy Awards. The program set a single season record for most wins with 18, including best drama series and acting awards for Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai.

"The Bear" also had a big night with four awards, but was snubbed for best comedy as "Hacks" took that honor. As co-host Bruce Miller mentioned, there has been discussion among insiders that "The Bear" should be a drama, not a comedy.

"Baby Reindeer" also wone four awards in the limited series category. Miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz share their thoughts, and also look ahead to the future: Can "Shogun" sustain success in a second season? Will "The Bear" become move to the drama category? Can a show like "Only Murders in the Building" finally break out in the comedy category?

And, looking even further ahead, is the new limited series "American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez" an early favorite for an Emmy next year? The show debuted this week and looks at the troubled life of the NFL tight end.
