This week, Josh Parham, Danilo Castro & guest Erik Anderson from Awards Watch joined our main podcast review to discuss the second film from Ridley Scott in 2021, "House Of Gucci," starring Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Jared Leto, Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons & Salma Hayek.

"The Humans" had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and is now playing in limited release and streaming on Showtime. The film is an adaptation of the stage show of the same name by Tony Award winner Stephen Karam, who is making his feature-length directing debut here. The film utilizes an ensemble of incredible actors and leading them is Academy Award-nominee Richard Jenkins in one of his best performances to date as the patriarch of a family who has gathered in a broken down New York City apartment for Thanksgiving, each of them harboring secrets and challenges which make their way to the surface over the course of a single evening. Richard was kind enough to spend some time discussing his familiarity with the original show, working with the other actors and Karam, and a few thoughts on his upcoming role in "Nightmare Alley."

This week, Nicole Ackman, Josh Parham & Ema Sasic joined our main podcast review to discuss Reinald Marcus Green's latest film, "King Richard," starring Will Smith, Aunjanue Ellis, Saniyya Sidney, Demi Singleton, Tony Goldwyn & Jon Bernthal. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, where it started the Oscar train for Will Smith in Best Actor and has only continued to build steam ever since in categories such as Best Supporting Actress for Aunjanue Ellis, Best Supporting Actor for Jon Bernthal, and Best Picture. Now that the film is playing in theaters and streaming on HBO Max, what did we think of this crowd-pleasing sports drama depicting the rise of the Williams sisters in the world of tennis? What did we think of the performances? And how do we feel about the film's awards chances, especially for Will Smith? We discuss all of these points and more in our review down below.

"Annette" premiered earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival and is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The film has confounded audiences with its rock-musical brilliance and mad storytelling from the unique mind of Leos Carax. While a lot of praise was directed towards Carax's vision and Adam Driver's leading performance, we think Simon Helberg deserves some awards consideration for his role as The Accompanist. Simon was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work on the film, which can be listened to down below.
