Created by Chad Feehan and starring Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser and Annette Bening, Dutton Ranch is the 2026 Paramount+ series that continues the Yellowstone story, following Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler as they leave Montana behind to build a new cattle empire in South Texas — straight into the path of a ruthless rival ranching dynasty.

In this review, Fraser shares why he went into this one nervous about spending nine full episodes with a character he only ever enjoyed in small doses, how a midway-season turn completely changed what he thought this show was, and why Annette Bening's Beulah Jackson might be the best new addition to this entire universe.

Fraser takes on Contact, the 1997 sci-fi drama starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey. A SETI scientist finally gets proof of extraterrestrial life when a signal from deep space arrives carrying blueprints for a mysterious machine, one built to send a single passenger across the galaxy. Is this still the smartest movie ever made about first contact? And can a story built on the clash between faith and science hold up decades later?
