It's not everyday you get to see an epic picture so enthralling like THE BRUTALIST, so of course Steve and Ofili had to return to cover all things related to the latest true American classic. Joined by Misgana, the trio discuss the period drama's central themes of immigration and identity (7:15), how the film lives in service of Judaism (19:35), and clashes of sexuality and power (32:25). Finally, looking forward to the Oscars, TCA touch on the use of generative AI in film (55:30) and how this affects Adrien Brody and filmmaker Brady Corbet. TCA Verdict: 8.3/10
