With Adam and Josh facing a deadline for submitting their Chicago Film Critics Association best of the year ballots, they use this episode to hash out their picks for the best supporting and lead performances of the year—from heavy hitters like Cate Blanchett, Colin Farrell, and Michelle Yeoh to the stars of lesser-seen films like “Aftersun,” “Causeway,” and “Decision to Leave.” Plus reviews of Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion PINOCCHIO adaption, and Sam Mendes’ 80s-set ode to movies and movie theaters, EMPIRE OF LIGHT. Adam and Josh also weigh in on the recent publication of Sight & Sound’s once-a-decade Greatest Films of All Time list.
