We are back talking about a show that nobody wants to talk about - The Idol! Ben hated the first episodes *so much* that he sent his partner, Ashley, to take his place on the podcast to talk about the rest of the season. We talk about the trouble behind Sam Levinson, if this show is good business for A24, and why The Weeknd is such a bad actor. AND MORE!

Hot off the heels of covering one directorial debut in 'Past Lives' we jump straight to another one in 'When You Finish Saving The World' - Jesse Eisenberg's first feature film starring Finn Wolfhard and Julianne Moore! We talk about why it took A24 so long to distribute this one, if we could ever sing in public, True Cinema moments, and MORE!

The long-awaited day has finally arrived - we have seen Past Lives! After waiting, waiting, and more waiting, we had our emotional states of being completely obliterated by choice and it was just a lovely thing. We review the film as a whole, talk about the genius of the script, potential Oscar chances, True Cinema moments, and so much more!

In the spirit of covering the Mission Impossible franchise on our Patreon, we decided to take a look at the Noah Baumbach directed documentary all about Brian De Palma, titled, simply, 'De Palma'! We break down which De Palma stories we thought we the most interesting or funny, talk about which films in his vast filmography we want to watch the most, and figure out if A24 should make more documentaries like this.
