A new festival year approaches, and so with the first lineup of Festival Director Eugene Hernandez announced we look at the highlights of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. We touch on all sections, discuss the accessibility of the festival, and take a small peak at Slamdance as well.

If we had unlimited resources, we could truly put on a hell of a film festival. It's time for us to prove it once again, all four hosts sit down and put together a weekend lineup for a 2023 festival. Thrill as we debate settings, sponsors, and just how many live podcast recordings we can bank at this year's edition.

As the holidays begin we turn to our Thanksgiving Time Tradition-Shortsgiving! Donning sunglasses to protect our eyes from the brightness of our generosity, we discuss a new crop of shorts, one picked by each co-host. This year's crop: THE GAG (2023, Dir. Larry Owens), (tourism studies) (2019, Dir. Joshua Gen Solondz), LAST DAYS IN A LONELY PLACE (2007, Dir. Philip S. Solomon), and THE CRITIC (1963, Dir. Ernest Pintoff). As always, we are grateful to YOU, the LISTENER!

We’re playing some old and new festival related games this week. A few rounds of Ratings Guessing, a new Festivordle and a new Immaculate Grid. Also, we begin to scratch the surface of unpacking the various online Broadway discussion forums of the late aughts.

With the major fall fests in the rearview and awards season coming down the pike, we're getting a lot of interesting movies in theaters right now, so we thought it was time to look at 3 of the more high profile ones. Martin Scorsese's Cannes premiere KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, Justine Triet's Palme D'Or winner ANATOMY OF A FALL, and Sofia Coppola's Venice Best Actress winner PRISCILLA are all discussed.

Leonard Bernstein is one of the most important musical figures of the 20th century. He is also the Maestro, as explored in the upcoming film MAESTRO, directed by noted weird guy Bradley Cooper. We wanted some more context before MAESTRO makes its way across America, so we turned to America's preeminent MAESTRO authority, FRAN HOEPFNER! Together we do some light previewing of the film, and dig into a range of Bernstein's composing works: ON THE TOWN, SYMPHONY NO. 2: AGE OF ANXIETY, ON THE WATERFRONT, and CANDIDE.

This week Jesse tells us about her trip to the Big Apple for the last weekend of the New York Film Festival. Then Andy and Cullen catch up with a title from this year's Sundance, Cory Finley's Landscape with Invisible Hand.

NYFF is close to wrapping up, so we've gotten a good idea of how New York has reacted to all sorts of things. We discuss that, the rest of the fall festival landscape, some AFI odds and ends, and then turn to look at an earlier work from JANET PLANET director ANNIE BAKER, her 2017 play THE ANTIPODES. We discuss the world Baker creates in the play, where it departs from her earlier work, and what we find so compelling about her as an artist.
