If you enjoyed this episode, go back to our last month plus as we’ve reviewed Nomadland, On The Rocks, French Exit, Minari, and Sound of Metal in previous shows. All these reviews are spoiler free, they include an Oscar Lens on how we view the awards chances, and that’s how we begin this episode with a first reaction segment for One Night In Miami.

Then we get creative with the format as Mike 1 prepares a myriad of interview questions for his co-host about the rest of the fall festival slates from New York, Middleburg, & AFI, and after nearly 45 minutes, it becomes the longest lightning round in the history of shows. But we discuss all the bests & worsts and all the discoveries & the disappointments we saw in 42+ feature films at these festivals. But we don’t end the episode innovation there. M1 forces M2 to pitch him 3 films shark tank style, and of course, we finish with a top 10 countdown on the best of the fests.
