We're taking another week off after this show to gear up for the home stretch, but we've got big big movies this week. First, it's the epic "Napoleon," from Ridley Scott and Joaquin Phoenix. Then it's Bradley Cooper's pseudo-biopic of Leonard Bernstein, "Maestro." And we finish with Emerald Fennell's followup to her Oscar-winning "Promising Young Woman," the class drama "Saltburn."

After this, just two shows until Dorkfest.

Also, sorry, Leitch has a cold.

We have just five shows left in 2023, counting this one. It's almost Thanksgiving. And it's almost crunch time.

This week, we have two Netflix movies and a soccer comedy. First, it's Todd Haynes' psychological drama (among other things) "May December." Then it's the Obamas-produced historical biopic "Rustin." Those are the Netflix movies. Then we have Taiki Waititi's Michael Fassbender soccer comedy "Next Goal Wins." Getting close!

It's almost Thanksgiving, if you all can believe that. It feels like it was just 1986 yesterday.

This week, we have the "wait, Marvel has a new movie out?" big release "The Marvels." Then we dig into Alexander Payne's return trip with Paul Giamatti, "The Holdovers." Then we close with the HBO documentary, "Albert Brooks: Defending My Life."

Special free episode! (Wait: All the episodes are free.) A mid-week show, though, with Tim and Will talking to Matt Singer, author of the terrific book "Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever." We discuss the show, film criticism, David Letterman and so much more. Enjoy!

Three fascinating movies this week, one in theaters, one on Netflix and one on Apple TV. That's how it works these days.

First, it's Sofia Coppola's look at the Presley marriage in "Priscilla." Then Annette Bening and Jodie Foster star in the biopic "Nyad." And we close with the Apple TV pseudo-sci-fi "Fingernails."

We are entering the home stretch of the year. And there's some big movies coming up. But there are some big ones already here.

First, David Fincher's newest film "The Killer," with Michael Fassbender. That's on Netflix.

Then there's the Palme winner at Cannes, the mystery/whodunit "Anatomy of a Fall."

And we close with "Pain Hustlers," with Emily Blunt and Chris Evans. That's also on Netflix.

It is always, always a big episode when a new Martin Scorsese movie comes out. We dig deep on the director's 30th feature, "Killers of the Flower Moon," out in theaters. Then we talk about the Errol Morris documentary on John LeCarre, "The Pigeon Tunnel." And a reboot! We look back on Jim Sheridan's 2002 drama "In America."

But we go longest, as you might suspect, on the Scorsese movie..

It's Taylor Swift Day, but hey, isn't every day? We do a deep dive on "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour," really from every angle we can. It's quite a movie! Then we discuss two, uh, smaller movies: The fascinating documentary "The Mission" and the Amazon Prime Jamie Foxx-Tommy Lee Jones-starrer "The Burial."

But it's mostly Taylor Swift, we'll admit.

It's basically Taylor Swift Eve on the podcast, and in the movie world, but we've got three new movies to discuss. First, it's David Gordon Green's NEXT horror direct sequel, "The Exorcist: Believer." Then it's Kitty Green's "The Assistant" followup, "The Royal Hotel." And then we've got the "erotic thriller" from Netflix, "Fair Play." None of these movies have Taylor Swift in them. Yet.

We're a day late on this episode, but it's well worth: Lots of fun movies to dig into. First, it's the star-studded "financial" comedy "Dumb Money." Then it's Gareth Edwards' sci fi actioner "The Creator."

But the real treat? Wes Anderson's Roald Dahl shorts, which are hidden on Netflix but which you should absolutely go watch right now. We have a blast talking about them.
