Awards Radar: The Podcast

For episode 308, I'm joined once again by friend and colleague Kate Schroeder, producer at Access Hollywood (until Friday, when she becomes joins JustWatch), as this week's co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. Kate is back to chat with me about the Toronto International Film Festival, which I've returned from, and the upcoming New York Film Festival, which we'll both be dipping our toes into. Kate has previously attended TIFF, so she has questions about this year's fest, especially as compared to the Telluride Film Festival that we both only got back from a week or so ago. Among the titles from TIFF we discuss are I Play Rocky (rave review here) and The Last Photograph (reviewed here). Throw in her thoughts on Primetime (I see it shortly, so I'll react in a review next week) as well as mine on Resident Evil (reviewed here), and we have a nice little show for you all. Kate is going to be coming back and may well be one of the prime co-hosts for the show going forward (Robert should be back next week, and Adam will be on from time to time as well), so definitely let us know how you're liking her. Plus, look out for some contributions from her on the site itself, as she's joined the team...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 308th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 307, I'm joined by friend and colleague Kate Schroeder, producer at Access Hollywood, as this week's co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on the end of Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This is our Telluride Film Festival recap, which Kate also attended (for the first time). We go over the films we both saw (all of which I've reviewed on the site), including highlights like Club Kid, The Debut, Wild Horse Nine, and You Can See Everything, as well as our overall experience. My ranking of what I saw at the festival, alongside my reviews and some awards, can be found here. Definitely let us know what you think of Kate, as she may well be a new addition to the show. Next week, if there's a show and we're not dark for a week, it'll be TIFF time, but this one is laser focused on Telluride...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 307th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 306, I'm joined again by Adam Patla as this week's co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This is our Telluride Film Festival preview. so I tell Adam all about Telluride, what I might be seeing in the mountains (obviously recorded prior to the reveal of the lineup today, which you can see here), and how that ties in to both the currently happening Venice Film Festival and next week's start of the Toronto International Film Festival. I also run down my thoughts on Hope (review here), The Uprising, and the first 30 minutes of Resident Evil, while Adam talks about Onslaught. Throw in your questions and it's a quick one before Telluride kicks off...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 306th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 305, I'm joined by Adam Patla as this week's co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, Adam is here to give his take on the Emmy nominees who could become winners (and likely will be back for official predictions next month). We get into new and impending releases like Buddy (reviewed here), It Ends (reviewed here), and The Dog Stars (reviewed here), while I tease how good The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is. Throw in your questions, some fun silliness, and we've got a nice episode to share. Be sure to let us know what you think of Adam as a potential recurring co-host too, as we've already heard very nice things about Maxance and especially Robert so far...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 305th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 304, I'm joined by Robert Hamer as this week's co-host, with producer Steven Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This episode features some D23 chatter, with a good portion of that centered on Avengers: Doomsday, the X-Men casting, and Disney theme parks. We also get into the upcoming release of Coyote vs. Acme (my rave review is here), given how it once was never going to see the light of day. Throw in your questions and it's another robust episode. Robert will be back next month, but for next week, look for another new co-host from the site to sit in...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 304th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 303, I'm joined by Robert Hamer as this week's co-host, with producer Steven Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, we're beginning to look the fall film festival slate. We touch a bit on the Telluride Film Festival, but will be looking at that one and the Toronto International Film Festival more in depth soon. Here, there's New York Film Festival chatter, as well as Venice Film Festival chatter. One of the movies that gets the most discussion time from us? Primetime with Robert Pattinson, unsurprisingly. You'll be able to hear about lots of other flicks, as well as some of your questions, making for a nice long episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 303rd one to date (here's to many more).

or episode 302, I'm joined by Robert Hamer as this week's co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. Robert actually was on one of the very first episodes of the show (episode five, in fact, which you can listen to here), so it's a return of sorts, though hopefully he'll be a consistent part of things going forward. This episode features us discussing the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the wake of Spider-Man: Brand New Day (reviewed here) setting the domestic opening weekend box office record. In addition to MCU chatter, I pump him up for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (rave review here), as well as take a few of your questions. There's plenty more here, as Robert hits the ground running, so hopefully you find it be a good one. Plus, there's a Myles update for those who listen closely...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 302nd one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 301, I'm joined by Maxance Vincent as this week's co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, I intro Max, who will be occasionally sitting in as we figure out the new post-Myles normal, and we talk Spider-Man: Brand New Day. My rave review of the film can be found here, and we get into what Marvel is doing right with this one, as opposed to what they've been misfiring with lately. I also touch on Tony (rave review here), which leads to some Matt Johnson and Nirvanna the Band the Show (and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie) talk. Throw in your questions, some fall festival chatter, and hopefully the show isn't missing a beat...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 301st one to date (here's to many more).

This is the big episode 300, and I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. For 300, Myles has seen The Odyssey (my rave review is here), so we get in deep with Christopher Nolan's latest. We also tackle Nolan's full filmography (my ranking is here), as well as several of your questions. Finally, we wrap with the announcement from Myles that he will be departing the show, with this being his final episode as a regular. So, be sure to wish him well, though he may return from time to time, when certain releases of note hit, like Resident Evil, etc. We may be taking next week off, but when we return, either next week or in August with 301 and beyond, there will be rotating guest co-hosts for a bit, as we figure out what works for the future of the show. Bear with us for a bit, though to be clear, the podcast is not ending, just reimagining things...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 300th one to date (here's to many more, in whatever form they take).

For episode 299, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This episode has me reporting to Myles about The Odyssey (rave review here) after seeing it on Monday and an earlier viewing of Tony (review to come) now that embargo on reactions has lifted. I also briefly mention Her Private Hell and Super Troopers 3, though The Odyssey and Tony are a much bigger focus. We also get into some of the bigger trailers that hit during the week, including Behemoth!, Digger, and I Play Rocky. Throw in some questions and we get to plenty, as next week brings episode 300, and an announcement you won't want to miss...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 299th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 298, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, we're hanging out and discussing what we watched over the July 4th holiday weekend. Now, some people go patriotic on the Fourth of July, while others head to the movies. Not us. I watched an eclectic mix of films that included My Blue Heaven, National Lampoon's Vacation, Rocky IV, and Streets of Fire, all of which are discussed within the episode. Myles, on the other hand, caught up on A Few Good Men, at last, but also subjected himself to The Flash. As for new releases, I've seen and reviewed (here) Evil Dead Burn, so we get into that as well. Throw in a few questions and some game chatter, and what we have is a nice mix of topics, as we close in on the big 300th episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 298th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 297, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This episode finally features us discussing Disclosure Day, now that Myles has seen it. My rave review on the site can be found here. Besides debating the merits of Steven Spielberg's latest, we get into first half highlights. My article on the best films and performances from the first half of 2026 can be found here, with the horror edition coming on Sunday, featuring Myles' list as well. Throw in some questions and we're now on to the second half of the year, as episode 300 looms large...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 297th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 296, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, we start off on a sad note, as I talk a bit about the loss this week of my dog, Bentley. I wrote about him here, and he will be profoundly missed. After that, we're back on the movie train, discussing a variety of titles, including and older title like True Lies, as well as new/recent releases like Supergirl (reviewed here), They Will Kill You (reviewed here), and Toy Story 5 (reviewed here). Plus, I mention a July gem in I Want Your Sex. It's been a tough few days, so getting to this with Myles truly was a relief, so thank you for listening, and thank you for understanding as this episode dropped a bit later on in the week than usual...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 296th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 295, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This episode does not feature our continued discussion of Disclosure Day, as that will happen next week. For now, my rave review is still here. Nor do we talk Toy Story 5, as I hadn't yet seen it at the time of recording. Look for that also to be handled next week. Instead, I'm hyping Myles up for a pair of upcoming summer releases in The Invite and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. The former he actually wanted me to sell him on, while the latter already had his interest, but my love for it (both really, but especially this one) now also has his attention. Throw in some questions and it's a very tight episode, as we lead up to episode 300, which will not be one to miss...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 295th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 294, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, we're beginning the conversation about Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day. My rave review can be found here, and we talk a bit about my Spielberg movie ranking to be published on Friday, but this is just the start of our chat here. Next week, we'll get deeper into it, so prepare for at least light spoilers then. Myles has caught up with Masters of the Universe (my review is here) and Mortal Kombat II (reviewed here), so we discuss those, as well as Backrooms, which I've caught up on and reviewed here. Plus, I've seen Scary Movie (reviewed here), so that leads to a section on spoof movies. There's also some brief Tribeca talk, centered on In Memoriam, which I raved about here. Throw in a few of your questions and it's a rather focused episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 294th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 293, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This episode, we get into the box office and cultural phenomenon that is Backrooms and Obsession. I wrote a bit about it here in the most recent Sunday Scaries column, while my Obsession review is here. Myles has seen both, while I'm about to catch up with Backrooms, so there's variety in our chat. I've also caught up on The Sheep Detectives, which I loved, and tell Myles all about Masters of the Universe (reviewed here). Throw in some questions and it's a tight little episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 293rd one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 292, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. This time around, we opted to record during the awards ceremony for the Cannes Film Festival. So, it's a Cannes hangout, where we talk about the festival's movies, as well as play some games related to previous award winners, while awaiting the Palme d'Or result, which ended up being Fjord. You can see all of what won here and my predictions (alongside Robert Hamer's) here. Additionally, we rank the Star Wars entries, drifting off of my new ranking here. It's a nice little episode, as we cruise towards episode 300, which will mark some changes. Stay tuned there, but for now, enjoy this one...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 292nd one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 291, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmy season content and, of course, TV Topics. Programming note: while this episode is a normal one, next week's episode is being recorded right around this one and won't reflect anything that happens this weekend or next week. Just keep that in mind. As for this one, we spend a bit of time talking about Star Wars, since my review (here) of The Mandalorian and Grogu went up a few days ago. I also give my thoughts on Power Ballad, while Myles chimes in on The Sheep Detectives. Throw in your questions, as well as some late chatter about the actors rumored to be auditioning for James Bond, and it's a very solid episode. Apologies for my voice, as there's some seasonal allergies at play, but we work around it, for you. You're welcome, folks (I kid).

For episode 290, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmys and TV Topics. This time around, we've got Oscar news in Conan O'Brien returning to host the Academy Awards, as well as more on the rule changes AMPAS has instituted. Some of your questions factor into those rules as well, alongside one that leads us back to talk about Ari Aster's Eddington (my review is here, while my interview with Aster is here), with Myles having just caught up with the film. I also talk about two new release movies, which are Driver's Ed (reviewed here and interview with director Bobby Farrelly here) and Obsession (reviewed here). We tackle plenty on this episode, so strap in...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 290th one to date (here's to many more).

This episode, we get into the recent rule changes by the Academy, especially in terms of the Acting and International Feature categories. We also talk Mortal Kombat as a franchise, since I've seen the newest installment, Mortal Kombat II (reviewed here). Throw in a game and more of your questions, stir it all up, and it's a very solid new episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 289th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 288, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmys and TV Topics. This time around, we're talking about Andy Serkis' absolutely baffling take on Animal Farm (reviewed here), as well as double back on The Running Man (reviewed here) now that Myles has caught up on the latter. We also tackle your questions, as well as play some more of the IMDb game. It's an efficient little episode, but a good one in my book...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 288th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 287, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmys and TV Topics. This episode ends up being a bit freestyle, as the topics just sort of come to us. There's some games, both old and new, as well as some final CinemaCon chatter. However, a question regarding Michael Jackson and the Michael movie leads to an extended conversation. Neither of us have seen or intend to see the film, but musical biopics, and especially this one, get discussed. We also talk a bit about Exit 8 (reviewed here) now that Myles has seen it. Throw in a few other questions, as well as a video game related ending, and we get to more than you might expect, given the open-ended nature of the episode.As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 287th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 286, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, we're looking at some of the CinemaCon 2026 announcements that captured our attention most. So, within you'll hear what we're excited about, as well as a bit about what we're less than enthused about. Additionally, Myles caught up on Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (my review is here) and Pizza Movie, while I chimed in on Exit 8 (reviewed here), Mother Mary (reviewed here), and Normal (reviewed here earlier today). Throw in your questions and we get to plenty here, that's for sure...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 286th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 285, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. We recorded this episode last week, due to my vacation and Myles' show, so it's not the timeliest of topics, but we still have some good stuff. There's some chatter about the new Faces of Death film (reviewed by yours truly here), though the bulk of our time is spent on Hideo Kojima, the legendary video game designer. We teased a periodic "Kojima Korner" segment months ago, so here it is, in all its strange glory. Between the Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid franchises, there's a ton to cover.As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 285th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 284, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode is a bit shorter than usual, and we're especially exhausted, but we still stumble upon a fun new segment that will be coming up in a few episodes. You'll have to listen to learn what it is, but it's an enjoyable way to keep things Oscar related in the offseason, which is a plus. Besides that, Myles has caught up with Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (my review is here), so we chat about that, while I report back on both The Drama (reviewed here) and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (reviewed here). Throw in your questions and we more than the make the most of our time...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 284th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 283, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, Myles has seen Project Hail Mary, so we have a substantial discussion about that one. I've already been clear about my love of it, both on a prior episode of the show, as well in my rave review here, but now we get to go back and forth about it. I also give my thoughts on They Will Kill You (reviewed here), which is a lot of fun. Awards-wise, we look back on my year in advance Oscar picks from last year (here), as my predictions for next year begin to drop tomorrow. Throw in your questions and we get around to a lot here, that's for sure...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 283rd one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 282, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. The 98th Oscars are in the books, so we're recapping the winners, our thoughts, and more. I've been writing about it all week, including the path Paul Thomas Anderson and One Battle After Another took to win Best Picture (here), but this is our first conversation about how the Academy Awards went down. We also discuss Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (reviewed here), as well as take your questions. It all adds up to a strong episode as we end another season of the podcast. Luckily, a new one begins next week...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 282nd one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 281, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. It's our final Oscar predictions episode, folks! All of the categories are covered, with the vast majority of them getting at least some manner of debate. My picks are here, in advance of tomorrow's big final predictions piece. We also talk a bit more about The Bride! (reviewed here) now that Myles has seen it, but the Academy Awards are our focus today.

For episode 280, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This is our penultimate predictions episode, as Oscar ballots are due today. Looking at the results from the Producers Guild Awards and especially the SAG Actor Awards, we try to figure out what's happening with the Academy. Spoiler alert...we're not sure yet.

For episode 279, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, I'm eager to hype Myles up for Project Hail Mary, which I'd just seen and fell head over heels in love with. I'm also super fond of Hoppers, while lukewarm on Scream 7 (reviewed here) and not a fan of In the Blink of an Eye (reviewed here). Myles, on the other hand, has caught up with The Rip (my review is here), Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die (reviewed here), and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (rave review is here). We get into all of that, as well as look at this weekend's precursors to see what Oscar could do, with final voting underway.

For this episode, which we'll call 278.5, co-host Myles Hughes is dealing with a family matter, so we had producer Steve Prusakowski grab some of my interviews this season with Oscar nominees. So, you'll hear my conversations with Ethan Hawke (along with Richard Linklater) for Blue Moon, Will Tracy for Bugonia, Michael Bauman and Andy Jurgensen for One Battle After Another, Geeta Gandbhir for The Perfect Neighbor, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Stellan Skarsgård, Joachim Trier, and Eskil Vogt for Sentimental Value, Delroy Lindo for Sinners, as well as Clint Bentley and Adolpho Veloso for Train Dreams.

For episode 278, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode comes before Valentine's Day this weekend, so we're talking romantic comedies, romance on screen, and more. Some of it ties into the impending release of Wuthering Heights (reviewed here). With Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie hitting theaters (my rave review is here) as well, we also end up dovetailing that into a discussion of the Back to the Future trilogy for...reasons. Throw in a discussion about Gore Verbinski (my interview with him is right here), your questions, a rom-com game, and more, and despite recovering from a cold, we still pack plenty into this episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 278th one to date (here's to many more).

We also get into Return to Silent Hill (reviewed here) one last time, now that Myles has subjected himself to it, as well as Send Help. As for the new releases, Pillion (reviewed here) is the big one, with next week's debuts of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie and Wuthering Heights taking center stage (reviews of both early on next week, alongside Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die). Throw in your questions and some DGA Awards chatter, mix it all up, and we have a very solid episode to share...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 277th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 274, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This is our penultimate episode before the Oscar nominations are announced, so we're talking about what the Academy might do. Beyond that, we cover the Golden Globe results, which had a thing or two worth discussing. Beyond the awards, Myles has caught up on Hedda and KPop Demon Hunters, while I've seen The Rip (review coming tonight) and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (reviewed here).

We talk about the Actor Award/SAG nominations, the results of the Critics Choice Awards, as well as our final predictions for the Golden Globes. In terms of new releases, I discuss Primate (reviewed here), while Myles has caught up on Lilo & Stitch, No Other Choice (my review is here), The Plague, and The Secret Agent. Plus, in addition to your questions, we're looking at my end of the year superlatives (found here), alongside 2026 films to anticipate (the list is here).

We start by looking at my list of some of the 2025 films to anticipate, before turning our attention to Myles' takes on Marty Supreme (my rave review is here) and Song Sung Blue (my rave is here). Finally, we give out some awards, including our favorite horror movies of the year (list here), alongside some acting prizes (my picks are here), plus our top ten lists (mine is here).

For episode 270, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, the Oscar gods have given us plenty to dig into. Earlier this week, the shortlists in a dozen Academy Award categories were revealed (seen here), so we get into that. The Academy also announced that the Oscars will be moving from ABC to YouTube after the 100th ceremony, which leads to a spirited discussion. I've caught up with The Testament of Ann Lee (review forthcoming), while Myles has done so with If I Had Legs I'd Kick You and Sentimental Value (my rave review is here), each of which gets a back and forth.

For episode 269, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode features us going over the Golden Globe nominations, as well as a quick mention of the Critics Choice nominations. The Globe nods are where we focus a lot, given how it's the highest profile precursor so far, if not the most Oscar related. Speaking of the Academy Awards, Myles has caught up with both Hamnet (reviewed by yours truly here out of the Telluride Film Festival) and Jay Kelly (which I raved about here out of Telluride), so we debate those films, one of which he's far more a fan of than the other. Plus, he's chimed in on Eternity (my review out of the Toronto International Film Festival is here), giving us a host of movies to talk about. Throw in some of your questions, as well as an opening rant about the whole Netflix/Warner Bros. Discovery purchase, and we have a full episode for you all.As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 269th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 268, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, we're discussing the beginning of precursor season, alongside some heavy hitter films. I recently saw Avatar: Fire and Ash, as well as Ella McCay, which I detail to Myles. He's seen Zootopia 2, so he can tell me about that one, while he's caught up on Nouvelle Vague (reviewed out of the Toronto International Film Festival here by yours truly) and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (which I also reviewed here out of TIFF). So, we finally have a more robust discussion of those two. Plus, the precursors have led to some predictions tinkering, which generates more chatter.

For episode 267, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This is our Thanksgiving episode, featuring some Turkey Day awards season chatter. We also spend more time talking Train Dreams (my rave review is here) and Wicked: For Good (reviewed here), now that Myles has seen both. Throw in your questions and you can celebrate the holiday with some film talk, especially as the calendar gets set to turn over to December...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 267th one to date (here's to many more).

For episode 265, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. Apologies for the short one this week, but Myles had to hit the road for a trip, so we squeezed the episode in where we could. This time around, we've both seen some things and are eager to discuss with the other, hence not delaying the recording. Myles has gotten around to Bugonia (my review is here, alongside my interview with writer Will Tracy here), while I've seen In Your Dreams (reviewed here), The Running Man (reviewed here), and Train Dreams (review to come soon).

For episode 264, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode was recorded early last week, so forgive us not having any up to date news/topics. As such, we opted to, after a discussion of The Great Gatsby (it's fun, I promise), look at some very early Golden Globe predictions. You can find my updated predictions for the Globes here, but in the meantime, this does start to get the conversation going. Plus, we bring back a fun game that we teased last episode...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 264th one to date (here's to many more).

Welcome back to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor Joey Magidson (that's me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general. The show will obviously have an awards season slant to it, but we won't forget about other movies and shows, that's for sure!For episode 263, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode is our annual Halloween Spooktacular, though horror is hardly all that's on the agenda. Fright flicks include Frankenstein (which I reviewed here) as well as A House of Dynamite (reviewed here), though we also get into Blue Moon (reviewed here) and Song Sung Blue (reviewed here). Myles also has a horror edition of his Letterboxd game, so it's a very fun time.

For episode 262, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode comes one before our annual Halloween Spooktacular, though we're still talking horror movies. In particular, we're discussing some cult classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge and the Sleepaway Camp franchise. We also get into Black Phone 2 (reviewed here) now that Myles has seen it, while I detail my experience with the Jennifer Lawrence film Die My Love (which I like a lot but have some specific comments about).

For episode 261, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, we discuss spooky season viewings a bit, but much more time is given to our Oscar predictions, as well as two big films. One has already opened in Roofman (my rave review out of TIFF is here), which Myles caught. The other is the New York Film Festival's Closing Night selection, Is This Thing On? (which I reviewed as my final NYFF piece for the year here). The early Academy Award picks come at the end of the episode, as these are Myles' first crack for the season, while I talk out what my next update will look like.

For episode 260, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode kicks off with us discussing spooky season, namely what I've been revisiting or watching for the first time, while Myles has caught up with Good Boy (which I reviewed here). There's also a back and forth over The Smashing Machine (reviewed by yours truly here), which Myles saw over the weekend.

This time around, I'm talking more to Myles about Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another (my rave review is here), now that he's seen the film. He has, let's say, a different take on the movie. In addition to that flick, we rank PTA's outings (my list is here), which we also differ a bit on. Other titles discussed here include Good Boy (reviewed here) and A House of Dynamite (which I rave about here).
