September 30, 2015 NYFF, Oscar Foreign Submissions, and Movie THROWDOWN
ProjectionCast is back again, but our hosts find themselves at odds over...well, nearly every film they discuss. NP Awards Guru/Film Critic Jason McKiernan and NP Founder Chris Misch throw down over everything from Sicario to Mississippi Grind to even the new Bond theme song. Jason also offers his thoughts (uncontested) on Robert Zemeckis' The Walk, which just opened this year's New York Film Festival, and Nancy Meyers' The Intern, which which may feature Robert De Niro's best performance in a decade (really).
Meanwhile, NP Director of Special Features Ryan Gimarc joins the podcast to offer thoughts on Jafar Panahi's Taxi and Sweden's Oscar submission A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence, and to chat with the guys about what's to come at NYFF, the burgeoning list of foreign film submissions for the 88th Academy Awards, and Crimson Peak surprising audiences at Fantastic Fest.

September 02, 2015 ProjectionCast Episode 24: Summer Into Fall
As summer transitions into fall, as the blockbuster season gives way to Oscar season, ProjectionCast returns to cover it all.
Episode 24 finds our hosts shuffling in and out...Director of Media Dan Tucker leaves early, NP Founder Christopher Misch joins late, but Awards Pundit Jason McKiernan is in it for the long haul, his patented rants holding down the fort.
On the docket: a Summer 2015 wrap-up (which somehow leads to discussion of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3) and a preview of the fall festival season, as Venice kicks off today, Telluride starts Friday, and Toronto is merely a week away...

March 11, 2015 ProjectionCast Episode 23
A couple weeks removed from the Oscars, there isn't much in the way of relevant movie news, but somehow our heroes soldier on, defeating minor issues like dire sickness and a limp set of news stories to find incredible nuggets of filmic truth in Episode 23 of ProjectionCast, which finds NP Awards Pundit/Senior Critic Jason McKiernan fighting off the flu while NP Founder Christopher Misch and Director of Media Dan Tucker offer their support.
Topics of conversation: Tim Burton's Dumbo, the merits (or lack thereof) of a Ghostbusters franchise, the uselessness of Zoolander 2, the problems with Cinderella, the excitement of the upcoming SXSW Festival, the gonzo craziness of White God, the mid-February fun of Focus, and the *Ultimate* Neill Blomkamp debate (spoiler alert: there are M. Night Shyamalan comparisons).
