Hello everyone! Welcome back to our third installment of this podcast. 

As we get closer to awards season and film festivals have started to close, we wanted to record a special episode of Beyond the Elevator where we talk about what some of the nominations could happen this upcoming year. This episode's format will look like:

Floor 1: Regular movie news (New Lion King, More Movie Delays, and Jamie Foxx electro return?)

Floor 2: Nomadland early review (Non-spoiler!)

Floor 3: Awards season discussion (What do we want to get nominated and what do we expect to get nominated)

Welcome back to Beyond the Elevator! Thank you for all of those who tuned in last week for our first episode! The support we received was very encouraging and we are excited for the future of this podcast. 

As a refresher, we structure our podcasts as:

Floor 1: Relevant movie news and updates

Floor 2: Movie review

Floor 3: General discussion on a topic

This week, we will be discussing recent movie delays due to the pandemic as well as new updates on the film festivals and movies that are streaming right now. For our review, we will be talking about the new Mulan live-action remake which will lead us into a discussion on "What makes a good live-action Disney movie?"

We are also very excited to have Ryan join us for the first time since we have started this podcast!

As we mention in the review, we want to recognize the current situation regarding the Uyghur population in China right now. The new Mulan film has come into controversy after it was reportedly filmed near these camps in China. We do not want to brush past this issue. We would like to provide some resources for you to become better aware of the situation help in any way you can.

Welcome to our podcast! We are excited to bring you movie news, reviews, and in depth discussions on this channel. For our fans of Elevator Movie Reviews, do not worry! We will still be posting reviews on our instagram account. We thought this would be a great way to go beyond the elevator and be able to talk outside of a 30 second elevator ride.

Here is how our podcasts will be structured:

Floor 1: Relevant movie news and updates

Floor 2: Movie review

Floor 3: General discussion on a topic

For this episode, we will be discussing movie theater reopenings, new movies that are out, and the film festival news. We will also be reviewing the new Netflix film, Im Thinking of Ending things by director/writer Charlie Kaufman. This will lead us into a discussion on the topic "Does a movie have to make sense for it to be considered good?"

We hope you can join us as we start this new journey and feel free to give us any feedback on what we can add or improve!
