"Anatomy Of A Fall" had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the prestigious Palme d'Or for best film. It received rave reviews for director/writer Justine Triet's tight direction, riveting writing, and Sandra Hüller's commanding performance that straddled a fine line of ambiguity throughout, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats as to whether or not her character committed murder. The film has made the fall film festival rounds and will now be released in New York and Los Angeles this weekend. Triet and Hüller were kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work on the film, which you can listen to or watch below.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Dan Bayer, Giovanni Lago & Tom O'Brien. We are reviewing the latest film from Garth Davis, "Foe" starring Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal & Aaron Pierre. Adapting his own novel by the same name, writer Ian Reid makes his screenwriting debut wit this chamber-piece sci-fi drama which had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival and received mostly negative reviews. Were we in line with the majority or did we find merit in what was being presented? Tune in as we discuss the themes, characters, performances, world-building and more in our review.

"Cat Person" had its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, where it received a strong emotional response from some viewers who were familiar with the wildly bizarre 2017 true dating story that inspired it and some who were not. Starring Emilia Jones, Nicholas Braun, Geraldine Viswanathan, Hope Davis, Fred Melamed, and Isabella Rossellini, the film found a US distributor in Rialto Pictures and is now being released in theaters. Director Susanna Fogel was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with us about her work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which opens in limited release today and will expand nationwide on October 13th.

"Dicks: The Musical" had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, where it opened the Midnight Madness section with an audacious, raunchy, over-the-top presentation marking A24's first movie musical to date. With an all-star cast that includes Megan Mullally, Megan Thee Stallion, Bowen Yang, and Nathan Lane and directed by "Borat" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" director Larry Charles, writers and stars Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp scored big and knocked it out of the park. The two young performers and creators were kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting with us about their wild film, which you can listen to or watch down below.

"The Creator" is now playing in theaters and contains one of the most fascinating behind-the-scenes production stories of 2023. Shot with a budget of only $80 million, the original sci-fi film from "Godzilla" and "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" director Gareth Edwards has turned quite a few heads in the industry regarding how a blockbuster film can be shot, and its visual effects work be produced efficiently. Edwards was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about the film, including how it harkens back more to his work on his directorial debut "Monsters" than his latest two Hollywood blockbusters. But before we spoke with him, we also had the opportunity to talk with ILM Visual Effects Supervisor Jay Cooper, the on-set Visual Effects Supervisor Andrew Roberts, and cinematographers Oren Soffer and Academy Award-winner Grieg Fraser. Please take a moment to listen to these interviews and check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from 20th Century Studios.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Daniel Howat, Isaiah Washington & Will Mavity to discuss the latest film from Gareth Edwards, "The Creator" starring John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Allison Janney & Madeleine Yuna Voyles. An original sci-fi film made for under $100 million but made to look like it cost a lot more, Edwards and his team have created a film that's turning quite a few heads within the industry, but for all of its fascinating behind-the-scenes production stories, what did we think of the final result? Tune in as we discuss the story, performances, editing, cinematography, sound, visual effects work, and more in our review.

"Fair Play" had its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, where it received strong reviews for its two lead performances from Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich and Chloe Domont's direction and writing. The film makes the feature directorial debut for Domont, who is no stranger to being behind the camera as she's taken all her experience working in short films and television to this steaming pressure cooker of a film. Domont was kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about where the idea for the film came from, working with the actors, how to chart the course of tension, and more. Please take a listen and be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release and will be available to stream on Netflix on October 6th.
