I’m tired.

As I write this, we’re two weeks out our critics group’s votes for the best movies of 2024. I have 14 days and roughly 20-25 movies that I’m still trying to plow through. Jumping into screeners, I’m trying to average at least a film a day. This weekend, I’m hoping to see at least four films somehow. The Monday and Tuesday after Thanksgiving, I’ll sit in a theater with my critic buddies and watch eight movies. It’s exhausting; it’s also some of the most fun I have all year.

I took a break from watching movies to chat with some new releases for a bit with Perry for the latest We’re Watching Here podcast. We chat about a lot. Wicked, Gladiator II, Anora, Memoir of a Snail, Ghostlight, A Real Pain, Conclave and We Live in Time. We had a great time, and I cant’ wait to have even more to chat about in a month!
