Podcasts about A24

Josh is joined by recurring guests Josh Brown and Denise Akerman to talk about the newest film from Celine Song and A24, "Materialists." They discuss what Song got right about the details and frustrations of modern dating, the ways in which she depicted the real estate and economic challenges of New York City, if the film struck the right balance between focusing on Dakota Johnson's Lucy's career as a matchmaker vs. her personal life, the performances of Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal as competing love interests and much more!

Come with us on a relaxing journey to New Mexico, set in the most peaceful year of our nation's history: 2020. In Ari Aster's 4th Feature Film (Following Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau is Afraid), the horror hobbyist tackles a new kind of fear in the lives of a small-town grappling with surviving the pandemic. Furthermore, there are other high stakes in motion when we meet our heroes, antiheroes, and unfortunate citizens of the city of EDDINGTON.   In what's poised to be one of the most divisive movies of the year, join us for a SPOILER FREE review of the newest A24 film to hit theatres this week.

In this episode of Generative Now, Lightspeed Partner Michael Mignano sits down with two co-investors: Steve Jang, Co-Founder and Partner at Kindred Ventures, and Scott Belsky, Partner at A24 and founder of A24 Labs. Together they explore the current state and future of consumer AI, from why most products still look like chatbots, to what's next in AI-powered hardware, browsers, and personal agents. They dive into the concept of “personal AI,” discussing memory, context, and the emerging opportunities (and risks) around consumer data and model control. They also touch on use cases like AI-powered dating wingmen, simulated versions of ourselves, and the next generation of AI-first operating systems.

On this week's show, Julia and Dana are joined by June Thomas for a decidedly feminist discussion. They start with Sorry, Baby, the debut feature from writer, director, and actor Eva Victor, about a young academic's life after a terrible trauma. The panel debates whether the film— which was a Sundance hit for A24 — is a tart, surprising traumedy or a frustratingly evasive experiment. Next, they get into Dear Ms.: A Revolution in Print, the HBO documentary about the pioneering feminist magazine. Finally, they take up a recent New York Times piece to determine whether the straight white male novelist is a thing of the past—and if we should care. Steve hops on the call to offer his token male perspective, naturally. In an exclusive plus bonus episode, the feminist discourse continues with a conversation about  the oft overlooked fashion designer Claire McCardell, who is the subject of a recent biography Claire McCardell: The Designer Who Set Women Free by Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson and book review by our very own Julia Turner. Endorsements: Dana: The essay “It's Only An Island If You Look At It From The Water” by Elizabeth Cantwell in Bright Wall Dark Room about the film Jaws on its 50th anniversary. June : The action film Heads of State starring John Cena and Idris Elba, or “Mamma Mia! with explosions.” Julia -  The new book Empire of the Elite by Michael Grynbaum about the magisterial publishing reign of Condé Nast.

On today's episode we discuss A24's 2024 thriller HERETIC.

The A24 Rocks crew tackles one of the most poignant and impactful A24 films of all time: The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Set in the Bayview-Hunters Point and Filmore district's of San Fran, The Last Black Man in San Francisco is about two friends named Jimmie (portrayed by Jimmie Fails) and Mont (portrayed by Jonathan Majors) who are battling one of the most gentrified cities in the country. Jimmie is obsessed with an old family house that he believes his Grandpa built, while Mont is a playwright watching the drama of San Francisco unfold. What will these film reviewers think of one of the most critically-acclaimed A24 films of all time?

Celine Song's followup to 2023's gem Past Lives explores the world of matchmaking through a spin on the classic love triangle. Song turns her signature gentle tension on its head with a take on modern dating and transactional matrimony. Is it successful? Will lightning strike twice for the Oscar-nominated filmmaker? Tune in and find out...

Beach House Breakdown, Vagina Dentata, & Cronenberg's Sex Parasites – Horror Hangout from HellWhat do a Cthulhu beach vacation, vagina dentata, and horny parasitic zombies have in common? We have no idea. But it's Josh's birthday, so come with us as we shuffle through all this goo and try to find out. The dudes dive headfirst into The Beach House (dir. Jeffrey A. Brown), a Lovecraft-lite flick that tries to spook you with fog, foot worms, and... astrobiology? James has ocean-walking dreams, Justin forgets the movie he's supposed to talk about, Derick gets mad that nobody in horror knows how to wear pants during a crisis, and Josh may in fact be Tubi's shadow CEO. We also take a deep bite into Teeth (dir. Mitchell Lichtenstein), where John Hensley from Nip/Tuck plays the most cartoonishly incestuous dirtbag this side of Cinemax. There are dog attacks, dick rings, and a whole lot of trauma wrapped up in a “quirky” indie revenge horror. A24 remake incoming? Probably. Then it's over to David Cronenberg's Shivers aka They Came from Within aka Orgy of the Blood Parasites, where 70s Canadian sex monsters spread the infection one creepy assault at a time. Oh, and apparently Cronenberg thought those guys were the heroes of the story. Yeah. Sketch.

On this week's Very Special episode we are very excited to be talking to GLAAD's Raina Deerwater to discuss the newly published 2025 Studio Responsibility Index - which has found that LGBTQ representation and inclusion in film has it a three year low! Raina and Rowan sit down to talk about why this might be, and what we can do to change it. The GLAAD Studio Responsibility Index (SRI) maps the quantity, quality and diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) characters in films released by ten major motion picture studios during the 2024 calendar year. GLAAD researched films released by A24, Amazon Studios, Apple TV+, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount Global, Sony, The Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros. Discovery, and their subsidiaries. The report is intended to serve as a road map toward increasing fair, accurate and inclusive LGBTQ representation in film.

With a catalog full of art house favorites like The Witch, Spring Breakers, Moonlight, and Uncut Gems, it's hard to deny that A24 occupies a unique position in the zeitgeist. In a Hollywood landscape that can feel like it's becoming more risk-averse by the year — see our recent episode with Andrew Dewaard on his book Derivative Media — the artist-forward distributor and studio has become synonymous with a dream that, to many American cultural producers, feels increasingly remote: the conviction that one can doggedly put quality art out into the marketplace and see it actually succeed.But is A24 singlehandedly saving American cinema, or is that just a carefully crafted illusion, more a testament to the importance of smart brand positioning than to the actual quality of the films in its catalog? We brought on the Las Vegas-based writer and critic Nicholas Russell, author of an excellent essay for Dirt called “​​The Popular Alternative: the State of A24,” to discuss how the company evolved from an upstart indie film distributor to a studio and lifestyle brand in the mold of Disney — albeit one for adults who pride themselves in being savvy cultural consumers.We talk about how the company successfully commodified the idea of being “a cinephile,” the similarities between the A24 cap and the New York tote, and what Nicholas describes as the longstanding “tension between A24 the studio and A24 the startup” — one recently complicated by a $100 million cash injection from Josh Kushner's Thrive Capital, a major investor in OpenAI. We also try to break down the ineffable A24 “feel” (including the aesthetic elements and political themes the company tends to foreground, and shy away from) and consider the rise of Neon — the distributor behind movies like Parasite, Anora, and How to Blow Up a Pipeline — as the “other popular alternative.”Follow Nicholas on X and SubstackRead more by Nicholas hereRecommended reading about A24 and the Hollywood system from Nicholas:"The Life and Death of Hollywood" by Daniel Bessner (Harpers)"A24's Risky Hollywood Moment" by Felix Gillette (Bloomberg)Hollywood: The Oral History by Jeanine Basinger and Sam Wasson (Harper Collins) This is a public episode.

Ep. 331: Eva Victor, writer-director of Sorry, Baby, on the film's influences and her recent viewing Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. I've been eager for people to see Eva Victor's Sorry, Baby ever since I saw it at Sundance (where it picked up a prize). A wonder of a film, it's the funny and moving story of a woman working through trauma, with Victor playing the leading role, opposite Naomi Ackie (Mickey 17) and Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea). The writer-director brings her tonal and emotional precision both as a performer and as a writer to a debut feature that blazes its own path (distinct from the comedic shorts that were my first introduction to her work). I was delighted to speak with Victor about influences on the film (ranging from Certain Women to The Handmaiden and beyond), as well as her recent viewing. Sorry, Baby is in theaters now, distributed by A24. Please support the production of this podcast by signing up at: rapold.substack.com Photo by Steve Snodgrass

A24's new film "The Materialists" is just the latest film to piss off the internet. From critiques of "broke boyfriend propaganda" to arguments of what is romance, the film is doing its job on provoking conversations about the current dating landscape. I'm breaking down my thoughts & feelings on the film, and why I feel like labeling it as "broke boyfriend propaganda" is frankly, a lazy critique.

Spoiler..they get progressively drunker and worse at it.)So come for the news, stay for the chaos.

GET YOUR MULTIVERSE NEWS MERCH HERE:https://multiverse-news-shop.fourthwall.com/In a peek behind the curtain, James Gunn shared with Rolling Stone this week that the Milly Alcock-lead film Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will now just be called Supergirl. This is similar to July's Superman, which started out with the title Superman: Legacy. Gunn shared that he and his team do what he calls “premortems,” where they attempt to suss out issues with projects prior to release rather than reacting on the back end. The shortening of titles has come out of those discussions. In the same article, Gunn got candid about the state of Batman in the DCU and the complexities of navigating the character with Matt Reeves' adaptation in consideration or making it his own. Lastly, Gunn announced today that actor Tom Rhys Harries will play Basil Karlo/Clayface in the film set to be released in September 2026.Live action remakes continue to rule at the box office, with this weekend's How to Train Your Dragon capturing the top spot opening to a global $197 million.
