| 12/10/25 |  Who Is The Lizard King? w/ Chris Ryan and Sean Fennessey | If you're under the age of, say, 50, there's a good chance that your idea of The Doors is shaped as much by Oliver Stone's 1991 movie, and Val Kilmer's portrayal of Jim Morrison, as it is by the music of The Doors themselves. Today, a look at the movie, and other ways that pop culture has interpreted this great American rock band -- from The Simpsons to Wayne's World and more. Our guests are Chris Ryan and Sean Fennessey of The Ringer -- check out their word on The Big Picture, The Watch, The Rewatchables, and more! Really??

| 12/3/25 |  Ice Cream Is For Babies? w/ Billy Idol and Chris Black (How Long Gone) | "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom"—William Blake This week, a conversation about why we are so drawn to the debauched rock and roll lifestyle that Jim Morrison and The Doors exemplified with two guests who have lived it, and been seduced by it—punk rock legend and MTV icon Billy Idol, and Chris Black, columnist at GQ and cohost of the podcast How Long Gone. Really?? The Doors? is produced by Noah Chernin, Jody Avirgan, and Ian Wheeler of Talkhouse. Production support from Jake Bowman and Keenan Kush. Special thanks to our sponsor, Bootleg.

| 11/26/25 |  He's Hot, He's Sexy, He's Dead? with Weyes Blood and Amanda Petrusich | Jim Morrison, sex, poetry, masculinity, and the modern rock frontman with guests Amanda Petrusich and Weyes Blood. Whether he intended it or not, over the course of the late '60s, Jim became THE prototypical male rock god. So in this episode, a look at the trope of the frontman… how sex and danger and poetry and art all became intertwined for Jim Morrison, and his many, many fans… Men wanted to be him, women wanted to be with him -- I think that’s usually said about James Bond, but the same applies to the Lizard King.

| 11/11/25 |  Teaser: The Doors? | Episode one premieres November 19th, 2025. Really?? is a podcast about cultural memory — the icons and ideas we’ve mythologized and, in the process, might have misread or misunderstood. In the first season of this new series from Talkhouse (How Long Gone, Subway Takes, Alison Roman, Björk), the New Yorker's Naomi Fry convenes a multi-generational mix of musicians, writers, and cultural figures in conversation, to rediscover and reconsider the cultural legacy of the Doors in 2025, the band’s sixtieth anniversary. The show will use the Doors’ chaotic legend to ask what happens when myth overtakes meaning, and what that reveals about how we talk about American culture and about ourselves.
