And that's a wrap for the 2025 Sundance Film Festival! This year was a little bittersweet with the possibility of the festival changing cities, but that didn't impact the quality of movies…well, not too much. While the slate was smaller, and there weren't a lot of huge anticipated titles, there were still plenty worth discussing.Joining me on this episode is PDC writer Cortland Jacoby to give her thoughts on some of her favorite Sundance movies, some that weren't so good, and others that were disappointing.  We also discuss some of the big acquisition titles and movies that people could be buzzing about throughout 2025. Could Kiss of the Spider Woman be an awards season contender? Could Twinless with Dylan O'Brien be the year's big indie hit? And what are some of the Sundance horror films that genre fans can look forward to?All of this and more on a new episode of Cinema Royale, which you can find anywhere that you get podcasts.Subscribe to Punch Drunk Critics on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PunchDrunkCritics1Follow Punch Drunk Critics on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pdcmoviesFollow Punch Drunk Critics on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pdcmoviesYou can also subscribe to Cinema Royale anywhere you get your podcasts!
