The fall festival season is now in full swing. Some of the year’s most anticipated indies and Oscars hopefuls are being screened across the globe for participated press members and attendees so let’s take a look at some of the early reactions, measure our own anticipation, and officially kick off our awards coverage. Yes, it is too early, but why not? The year has already given us a few great films that are sure to carry through the race including Barbie and Oppenheimer, but there are plenty more coming our way soon. 

Sean himself is headed to TIFF. He has a full slate of films to screen and takes a moment to give us a preview before he heads up to Toronto. We also take a slight detour to discuss Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film coming to AMC Theatres before diving into our Oscars chat!
