Awards Radar: The Podcast

For episode 315, I’m joined once again by Kate Schroeder as co-host, back from vacation, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. This time around, on Kate's insistence, we begin with yours truly regaling everyone with my experience meeting Taylor Swift over the weekend at a Toy Story 5 event. Then, we're tackling your questions, along with three more Oscar categories. You'll hear my Academy Award predictions, alongside Kate's, in Best Animated Feature (here), Best Documentary Feature (here), and Best International Feature (here). The categories will continue next week, so be sure to follow along...

For episode 313, I’m joined once again by Kate Schroeder as co-host, back from vacation, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. This time around, we're looking at two more Oscar categories! Today, it’s Best Actor (my rankings are here) and Best Supporting Actor (my rankings are here). We also discuss some new releases, including Wicker (reviewed here), and take your questions, making for another enjoyable episode, if we do say so ourselves...

For episode 312, I’m joined once again by Kate Schraeder as co-host, back from vacation, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. This is a somewhat shorter episode, as Kate was dealing with jet lag and I had just gotten back from a deeply embargoed screening. Still, we did something fun, as we looked at two Oscar categories! Today, it's Best Actress (my rankings are here) and Best Supporting Actress (my rankings are here). Those categories lead to us also once again singing the praises of Mike Leigh's Tender Loving Care (my rave review is here). Next week, it'll be Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. Throw in some spooky season chatter as well as a quick discussions of what we've seen, led by Whalefall (reviewed here), and it's a very solid episode...

For episode 311, I’m joined by Adam Patla as this week’s co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. This time around, the New York Film Festival is in its final stages, so we discuss some of the titles I've seen there since last episode, like Artificial (reviewed here) and Behemoth! (reviewed here). We also get into The Social Reckoning (reviewed here) and Musk (reviewed here), as well as more about You Can See Everything (reviewed here), while Adam tells us about Whalefall. It's a solid episode, which avoids spoilers for all these flicks, for what that's worth...

For episode 310, I’m joined once again by Kate Schroeder as this week’s co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. This episode features, in large part, Kate and I talking about the New York Film Festival. We compare NYFF to other festivals, as well as discuss what we've seen this year. For me, I get into Bucking Fastard (reviewed here), Godzilla Minus Zero (reviewed here), Misty Green (reviewed here) NAZA (reviewed here), and Paper Tiger (reviewed here). Kate talks Making Marie Antoinette (reviewed here) and Rose (reviewed here). I also chime in on Primetime (reviewed here) as well as talk more about Digger (reviewed here). The Digger conversation is largely about potential audience reactions, leading to some CinemaScore chatter. Throw in some of your questions and it's another strong festival season episode. Kate will be gone next episode, but back afterwards, so stay tuned to see who joins me next week...

For episode 309, I’m joined once again by Robert Hamer as this week’s co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. This time around, I'm catching Robert up on some of the festival titles he might be interested in (or dreading). We also have lots of thoughts (almost exclusively positive) on Resident Evil (my rave review is here). I also give my spoiler-free take on Digger now that the social embargo is up. Or, at least I try to, since it's still difficult to discuss that film. Besides those movies, we take your questions, as well as address some rather troubling industry news that broke as we were recording...

For episode 308, I’m joined once again by friend and colleague Kate Schroeder, producer at Access Hollywood (until Friday, when she becomes joins JustWatch), as this week’s co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. Kate is back to chat with me about the Toronto International Film Festival, which I've returned from, and the upcoming New York Film Festival, which we'll both be dipping our toes into. Kate has previously attended TIFF, so she has questions about this year's fest, especially as compared to the Telluride Film Festival that we both only got back from a week or so ago. Among the titles from TIFF we discuss are I Play Rocky (rave review here) and The Last Photograph (reviewed here). Throw in her thoughts on Primetime (I see it shortly, so I'll react in a review next week) as well as mine on Resident Evil (reviewed here), and we have a nice little show for you all. Kate is going to be coming back and may well be one of the prime co-hosts for the show going forward (Robert should be back next week, and Adam will be on from time to time as well), so definitely let us know how you're liking her. Plus, look out for some contributions from her on the site itself, as she's joined the team...

For episode 307, I’m joined by friend and colleague Kate Schroeder, producer at Access Hollywood, as this week’s co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on the end of Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This is our Telluride Film Festival recap, which Kate also attended (for the first time). We go over the films we both saw (all of which I've reviewed on the site), including highlights like Club Kid, The Debut, Wild Horse Nine, and You Can See Everything, as well as our overall experience. My ranking of what I saw at the festival, alongside my reviews and some awards, can be found here. Definitely let us know what you think of Kate, as she may well be a new addition to the show. Next week, if there's a show and we're not dark for a week, it'll be TIFF time, but this one is laser focused on Telluride...

For episode 306, I’m joined again by Adam Patla as this week’s co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This is our Telluride Film Festival preview. so I tell Adam all about Telluride, what I might be seeing in the mountains (obviously recorded prior to the reveal of the lineup today, which you can see here), and how that ties in to both the currently happening Venice Film Festival and next week's start of the Toronto International Film Festival. I also run down my thoughts on Hope (review here), The Uprising, and the first 30 minutes of Resident Evil, while Adam talks about Onslaught. Throw in your questions and it's a quick one before Telluride kicks off...
