After a year-long hiatus, Overlapping Dialogue is officially back—ringing in the triple digits with our 101st episode! We ease back into the swing of things with a double feature that pits small-town rage against cosmic emotional reckoning: Martin McDonagh’s bruising Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) and Ari Aster’s latest descent into existential dread, the enigmatic and horrific satire of modern life, Eddington (2025).

But first, our Blue Plate Special returns with a fresh batch of chatter on the latest film news and releases: we unpack the teaser trailer for Michael, the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic; lament the canceled Ben Solo Star Wars project that might’ve been directed by Steven Soderbergh; and offer capsule reviews of recent releases Roofman, Blue Moon, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, and Bugonia.

Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or just now found your way back into the booth, we’re thrilled to be talking movies with you once again.
