The return of pumpkin spice lattes on every corner might be the biggest sign that fall has returned, but for Sophia and Nick, the crisp air and earlier sunsets can only mean one thing: the New York Film Festival is back! They are excited to recap their first week of the festival on this week’s spoiler-free episode, discussing multiple premieres like Amazon MGM’s After the Hunt and Netflix’s A House of Dynamite and Jay Kelly. They also discuss Oscar potential for the many films they opine, including Park Chan-wook’s upcoming release and TIFF International People's Choice Award winner, No Other Choice. Stay tuned for some fun festival sightings and another recap on the rest of the fest next week!
