Fall Trailers 2024
Friday Aug 30, 2024
Friday Aug 30, 2024
On the eve of Venice kickoff and Toronto travel, we take a look at what the general public can see from this fall's slate. That's right, it's a return to TRAILERS! What's exciting? What seems annoying? Will anyone get passive aggressive about a trailer and other people liking or not liking it? These questions, and also like a 10-15 minute digression on Chinese Buffets, all in this episode!
Follow along with the trailers HERE

Saturday Night on the New York and Toronto Film Festival
Friday Aug 09, 2024
Friday Aug 09, 2024
LIVE FROM NEW YORK (and Toronto) IT'S ... A BUNCH OF MOVIES. This week on the podcast J.Catherine Traverse and Emilio are joined by J. Kim Murphy to talk about all the movies announced for the NYFF Main Slate and TIFF Centerpiece, Wavelengths, and Docs. We try to figure out what's missing from these announcements, what we are excited to check out in person and if the Saturday Night trailer blew its whole Don Pardo wad. Excelsior!

Where in the World Will the Sundance Film Festival Be?

Friday Aug 02, 2024
A couple of small TIFF and Venice updates, and then it's off to the slopes! Or is it? Sundance has announced its finalist host cities for 2026 and beyond and we talk our way through all the possibilites, including a full evaluation of the PR statements from local governments and our associations with what local foodstuffs we know about. Our apologies to Louisville!

And So the Fall Festival Season Takes Shape
Friday Jul 26, 2024
Friday Jul 26, 2024
The Venice Film Festival has announced their entire lineup. TIFF has subjected us to a series of "TIFF Takeovers" through which we learned what will be playing in Special Presentations, Midnight Madness, and more. NYFF has begun to release crumbs of their main slate. Andy has no idea what Pavement sounds like. I think we've got some stuff to talk about.
