Awards Radar: The Podcast

For this week's episode, it's a mini one, as both Myles and I are a bit busy. So, instead of leaving you without a podcast, I'm instead presenting my interviews this past season with newly minted Academy Award winners. You'll hear me talk to Sean Baker and Mikey Madison from Anora, Adrien Brody from The Brutalist, and Peter Straughan from Conclave. They just won Oscars, but before that, they chatted with me. So, enjoy those conversations, and stay tuned for a full new episode next week...

As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, coming between our 232nd and 233rd ones (here’s to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!

For episode 232, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski behind the scenes preparing for Emmys and a new season of TV Topics, so look out for that soon. This time around, we're looking at what could play at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, as well as what else might be worth looking forward to this year. We're going off of my annual 100 movies to look forward to list (found here), for what that's worth. Myles has also seen Black Bag (reviewed by yours truly here), so we discuss that a bit. Throw in a discussion about who should be the next James Bond (I'll turn that into an article tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that) and there's plenty here, including your questions. Programming note: we're going to have an episode next week that's just some interviews with a few of our most recent Oscar winners, but we'll be back with a fresh one the week after...

For episode 231, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski behind the scenes preparing for Emmys and a new season of TV Topics, so look out for that soon. This episode, which drops on my birthday, actually, so there's that. Happy Birthday to me! As for the content of the episode, we look back on my Year in Advance predictions from last year. You can see my early Oscar picks here from a year ago, which contain some very smart picks, alongside some...less so ones. We also discuss several new releases, including The Actor (reviewed here), Black Bag (reviewed here), Mickey 17 (reviewed here), and Novocaine (reviewed here). Plus, we tease out some future episode content...

This time around, it's our annual Oscar post-mortem. Yes, the Academy Awards are in the books, so we're talking about it, including the job Conan O'Brien did as host. I'm obviously delighted with Anora dominating, while Myles tries to be happy for me. We go over each category, talk about where we went wrong with our incorrect predictions when applicable, and start to put a bow on the season. Throw in my take on Mickey 17 (reviewed here) and we have a solid little agenda for a show I think is pretty enjoyable...

This week, it's time for final Oscar predictions! You can see my finalized picks here, with a full article coming tomorrow. However, Myles and I go over all of the categories in depth, with his final decisions alongside my last bits of back and forth, where applicable. We also talk about the recent James Bond news, as well as Kathleen Kennedy retiring from Star Wars, plus your questions, but it's Academy Awards chatter throughout. Oscar predictions galore...

This week, we recap the BAFTA and WGA awards, while previewing the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Namely, we're looking at how SAG could swing the Best Actress race between Mikey Madison and Demi Moore, as well as if Conclave has any chance of overtaking Anora in Best Picture. Throw in some more discussion of The Monkey (raved about here, while my interview with Theo James and Osgood Perkins is here), Myles chiming in on Heart Eyes (reviewed here by yours truly), and Sonic the Hedgehog 3, alongside some questions. Throw in a mini game and there's plenty to dig into here...

For episode 227, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski behind the scenes preparing for Emmys and a new season of TV Topics, so look out for that. This is a big episode, as we're tackling a whole host of topics. Kicking off, we talk Critics Choice, Directors Guild, and Producers Guild wins forAnora, establishing the film as the one to beat the Oscars in at least Best Picture, if not Best Director as well. Then, it's on to discussingThe Monkey, considering how Myles has gotten to see it (my rave review ishere). He also has seenPaddington in Peru, while I regale him (mostly off-air, but some on-air) aboutCaptain America: Brave New World (reviewedhere) disappointing me. Throw in some questions and even a bit of light Valentine's Day chatter, and it's a strong episode...

I wrote about that whole situation here, but we get into it more. Plus, I tell folks how great Heart Eyes is (my rave review is here), summarize the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, and Myles talks more about David Lynch. Of course, Gascón and Emilia Pérez take center stage, with precursors like DGA and PGA coming this weekend...

For episode 225, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski prepping for the 3rd season of TV Topics podcast. This episode comes after the Oscar nominations, so we're looking at who and what the nominees turned out to be. We also give a first glance at potential winners, tied into my predictions piece which you can find here. In addition to the Oscar talk, we've both seen Companion (which I raved about here), so there's a spoiler-free discussion at the top of the pod. For a more spoiler-filled chat, you can look out for my interview with filmmaker Drew Hancock today as well. Throw in some questions, as well as Myles giving his surprising take on going back to David Lynch works, and there's plenty to dig into here...

We also talk about The Brutalist (reviewed here by yours truly) now that Myles has seen it, as well as Flow (reviewed here) alongside tackling plenty of your questions. It's a big episode for a big moment in the season, that's for sure...
