On today's episode of the Awards Tour Podcast, Rotten Tomatoes Awards Editor Jacqueline Coley sits down with Academy Award–winning writer, director, and producer Chloé Zhao to discuss her latest film, 'Hamnet.'

In their discussion, Zhao opens up about her inspirations for adapting the story, her belief that storytelling is circular rather than linear, and how she uses the changing of seasons to reflect emotional shifts throughout her films. She also shares what draws her to collaborators like 'Hamnet' stars Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal, as well as fellow filmmaker Ryan Coogler, with whom she formed a lasting creative bond during the Sundance Institute Feature Film program.

Plus, Zhao reveals her love for 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' and jokes about wanting to read fan fiction for Namor and Shuri.

Check out 'Hamnet' now available on Fandango at Home, and we'll see you on the next stop on the awards tour.
