Can you believe we only have four episodes, counting this one, until Dorkfest? It's true! We've got a holiday Barbenheimer sort of thing going this week, with the dual release of the musical "Wicked" and the Oscar sequel "Gladiator II." We also discuss the Netflix August Wilson adaptation "The Piano Lesson." And happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

We are in a rather final countdown for end-of-the-year stuff. And we've got three very, VERY different movies this week. We start with the Netflix Oscar contender "Emilia Perez." Then it's The Rock, Chris Evans and Santa Claus in "Red One." And we close with the Mumbai drama "All We Imagine As Light." Lots of things!

Well ... here we are, folks! We, obviously, talk about the election last week, but we try not to go too far down the road: We understand you might enjoy some distraction just as much as we will. Fortunately, we have three meaty movies to talk about this week. Sean Baker's "Anora," Steve McQueen's "Blitz" and the Hugh Grant horror film "Heretic."

We have you are staying safe and all right this week.

We have two movies to talk about, and we get into both of them, the Oscar hopeful Vatican drama "Conclave" and then the end (?) of the Venom trilogy, "Venom: The Last Dance."

But this episode is really about our conversation at the end, when we do a brain download of all our election thoughts and anxieties. It's OK if you skip that part. But we found it helpful.

We're off next week because Leitch is running the NYC Marathon. We'll see you all on the other side.

Right before the deluge of Oscar movies, we get three curios, one good, two bad. First we discuss the Cate Blanchett satire "Rumours." Then it's Netflix's Anna Kendrick-directed "Woman of the Hour." And we close with Josh Brolin, Peter Dinklage and Glenn Close in "Brothers," which is on Amazon Prime, like football.

Two potential Oscar movies, looking back at the 1970s and 1980s and how they reflect on today. First, Tim and Will talk about Jason Reitman's "Saturday Night," which looks at the first episode of "Saturday Night Live." Then they dig into the Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong-starring "The Apprentice."

In our Reboot segment, we look back at 1995's "La Haine."

The Joker sequel--which we're just going to call "Joker 2" if that's OK with you--is out. Leitch liked the first one, but Grierson loved it. We dig into the sequel now. We also discuss the Netflix comedy documentary "Will and Harper." And we close with a Reboot, John Huston's last film, "The Dead" from 1987.

Francis Ford Coppola has been trying to make "Megalopolis" for decades. But we only have half an hour to discuss it. Discuss it we do! We also dig into indie hit "A Different Man," the George Clooney-Brad Pitt-starrer "Wolfs" and the animated hit "The Wild Robot."

The Big Serious Movie season has begun! The big festival movies have arrived! The G&L shows are about to get really long (like this one). First, we get very body-horror-y with the Demi Moore/Margaret Qualley/Dennis Quaid freaky film "The Substance." Then, it's the Netflix hit "His Three Daughters," with Elizabeth Olsen, Carrie Coon and Natasha Lyonne. And we close with the Sundance hit "In the Summers." All three of these are really fun to talk about.

We're back! We missed you! Grierson has returned from Venice and Toronto and has a ton of movies to talk about. Then we dig into Tim Burton's "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" and the Netflix action hit "Rebel Ridge."
