Timothee Chalamet and Steve Carell give us their drug-filled father-son relationship in Beautiful Boy. How many times before we relapse into hysterics?

It’s a new Disney movie! They can’t do any wrong, can they?

This month’s list is stuffed with 2018 films. That’s the way things are trending toward the end of the year. It’s also a tiny bit rushed due to some real life factors.

A bit of a backward look at a movie that I have no idea how it got made.

It’s (maybe?) Robert Redford’s last movie. I try a new approach to the Statistics format that, in my mind, works out pretty well!

It’s not out for a week, but I’ve got the inside scoop! Not really. I just responded to a free screening e-mail. But here are my spoiler-free Bohemian Rhapsody thoughts!

Two important films that touch on the same issue. There are some spoilers toward the end of the episode, but there is a bumper.

The umpteenth film in the franchise! But really, it’s just a sequel.

Marginally misleading title, as there are 5 films under review this episode: the titular ones, as well as Private Life, Monsters and Men, and The Kindergarten Teacher. Enjoy my 300th episode of The Circle of Film Podcast! And if you listen to the outro music, it’s been adjusted!

Monsters and Men: 11:00

The Sisters Brothers: 24:45

The Kindergarten Teacher: 36:00

Private Life: 44:45

Colette: 54:00

That’s right, TWO movies in today’s Statistics episode! Is it convenient? No. Will it ever happen again? Who’s to say? Two big prestige films that influence a lot of names on the spreadsheet.
