We’re taking a break from our usual dives into thwarted Oscar buzz this week and taking a look at all the films we saw at the Toronto International Film Festival! Not only are Joe and Chris in the same room for once, but we also have our very first guests: The Film Experience’s Nathaniel Rogers and Film Comment’s Nick Davis!

Though none of us saw the eventual winner of that bellwether of Oscar buzz, Grolsch People’s Choice Award, Green Book (from Osmosis Jones director Peter Farrelly), we still have lots to discuss regarding Oscar and festival ephemera. Listen along as the four of us dive off the deep end to talk our favorites of the festival, our disappointments, and what at the festival we think will lose Oscar steam. Topics include: the ubiquitous love for A Star is Born, Juliette Binoche’s High Life sex braid, and a stacked Foreign Language field led by Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma.
