We explore the film's narrative style, and the powerful storytelling derived from its poignant backdrop.

Ep. 297: RaMell Ross on Nickel Boys Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. One of the great films of 2024 and now nominated for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay, Nickel Boys is the fiction feature debut of RaMell Ross, who adapted Colson Whitehead's novel with Joslyn Barnes, after previously directing the Oscar-nominated Hale County This Morning, This Evening. I was lucky enough to speak with Ross about making the movie, especially crafting the form, screenwriting, representations of race, what he brought from documentary filmmaking, casting, and some of his influences. Ross and his DP Jomo Fray use an innovative mix of extended first-person camerawork to tell the stories of two boys, Elwood (Ethan Herisse) and Turner (Brandon Wilson), in a Jim Crow-era reform school in Florida that's essentially a prison, including additional impressionistic glimpses of the world through archival video and film. (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor co-stars as Elwood's grandmother, Hattie.) (Note: this interview was recorded earlier.)

Natasha Willings (Limitless Learning education services) and Sarah McDowell (The SEO Mindset Podcast) return to Flixwatcher to review Natasha's choice King Richard. King Richard (2011) is a biographical sport drama directed by Reinaldo Marcus (Monsters and Men) Green. It tells the story of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams from the point of view of their father and coach Richard Williams. It stars Will Smith as Richard, Saniyya Sidney as Venus, Demi Singleton as Serena, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as Oracene ‘Brandy' Price, the sisters mother and Jon Bernthal as Rick Macci, the sisters tennis coach. King Richard earned Will Smith his first Oscar, an achievement that is perhaps overshadowed by the slap he gave Chris Rock at the Oscars. Some of the criticism of the film is that the story focuses more on Richard than it does the achievements of the sisters. Scores for Kind Richard acknowledged it is a interesting watch but felt it leaned too much into Richard and would have been more engaging if its sole focus was Venus and Serena. Slightly lower scores for repeat viewing gives an overall rating of 3.82.

Awards season has arrived in the form of the Golden Globes nominations. The awards, which honor both movies and television programs, is often viewed as a preview of the upcoming Oscars. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz go over the list, focusing largely on the movies, which tend to shine brightest at the ceremony.

We also have an interview with "Nickel Boys" director RaMell Ross, who spoke with Miller prior to the film receiving a nomination for best drama.

For today's daily NYFF62 podcast, director RaMell Ross and cast members Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Fred Hechinger, and Hamish Linklater join NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim to discuss Nickel Boys, the Opening Night selection of the 62nd New York Film Festival. Nickel Boys screens again on October 3, 5, and 9. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/nyff Rare is the film of a major book that maintains the power and precision of its source material while also generating its own singular aesthetic. Yet RaMell Ross's extraordinary realization of Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize–winning 2019 novel, about two Black teenagers who become wards of a barbaric juvenile reformatory in Jim Crow–era Florida, achieves just this. In breakout performances that cut to the bone, Ethan Herisse and Brandon Wilson play Elwood and Turner, whose close friendship helps sustain their hope even as the horrors mount around them at the Nickel Academy, which becomes a microcosm of American racism in the mid-20th century. Ross, whose unforgettable Oscar-nominated documentary Hale County This Morning, This Evening (Closing Night of New Directors/New Films, 2018) portrayed an Alabama community in moments of revelatory intimacy, has here fashioned a film of equal daring and intensity, buoyed by expressive, shallow-focus cinematography by Jomo Fray (All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt), pinpoint-precise editing by Nicholas Monsour (NOPE), and deeply felt supporting performances from Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Hamish Linklater, and Daveed Diggs. Inspired by actual events, this harrowing tale comes to vivid life via an ingenious visual approach that brilliantly adapts the novel's exercise in subjectivity.

Ever since Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in King Richard, she's kept busy with three major upcoming projects. In Lee Daniel's The Deliverance (in theaters now; on Netflix August 30), she co-stars alongside Glenn Close and Mo'Nique. "I just hope they didn't catch me staring." She's following that up with Hulu's The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat (August 23), about Ellis-Taylor's Odette and her two best friends. "I love that Odette was always a protector of her friends...I just think that's heroic." And she's wrapping things up this fall with the film adaptation of Colson Whitehead's novel The Nickel Boys. For Ellis-Taylor, it was the curiosity of the real-life events that led her to it. "I love that idea that it opens this door to discovering things that we just don't know about." But no matter how busy she is, she's self-aware about this moment in her career. "It's cyclical. You have these moments where it just feels like, 'OK, I'm doing the thing,' and then something can happen and you feel like you're not doing the thing anymore. I am just grateful."

On episode 249 of the AwardsWatch Podcast it's another all editors edition as yours truly, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello are packed and ready to head to mountains of Colorado for the 51st Telluride Film Festival with special guest Christina Birro of Pop Culture Confidential. As Telluride famously does, the actual lineup of films isn't released until the day of the festival (August 30) but with Venice, Toronto and New York announcements and designations of films as a 'world premiere,' 'international premiere,' 'North American premiere' or 'Canadian premiere' we have a pretty good idea of many of the films we'll be seeing, with all important world premiere titles that we'll likely be seeing before anyone like Edward Berger's papal thriller Conclave (Focus Features) starring Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow and Stanley Tucci, Michael Gracey's Robbie Williams biopic Better Man (Paramount Pictures) with the UK star playing himself, Jason Reitman's Saturday Night (Sony Pictures), telling the story of the first night of SNL in 1975 with Gabriel LaBelle, Dylan O'Brien, Rachell Sennott, Cory Michael Smith and Willem Dafoe, Malcolm Washington's adaptation of August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Piano Lesson starring Samuel L. Jackson, Danielle Deadwyler and John David Washington and RaMell Ross's Nickel Boys (Amazon MGM), adapting Colson Whitehead's Nickel Boys with Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Hamish Linklater and more. We also expect a healthy selection of Sundance and Cannes features to make their way to Telluride for a fall resurgence like A Real Pain, Emilia Pérez, Anora, The Seed of the Sacred Fig and more. Telluride medallions are also a topic of conversation with three traditionally up for grabs. Based on the expected lineup we think it will be Jason Reitman, Angelina Jolie and Samuel L. Jackson but there's a handful of possible contenders here. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h10m. We will be back the week after next to recap the 2024 Telluride Film Festival. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).
It was another big week for a franchise this weekend as “Alien: Romulus” premiered and took the top spot at the box office. While the film came nowhere near “Deadpool & Wolverine,” the film topped $40 million domestic, a respectable number for an R-rated movie. Co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz both saw the film and shared their thoughts on where the film fits with the others in the franchise that began back in 1979 with “Alien.” Another horror movie is about to drop, this time on Netflix. The Deliverance, directed by Lee Daniels, got a limited release in theaters and will drop on the streaming service on Aug. 30. The film stars Andra Day, Glenn Close, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor and Mo'Nique, and is inspired by a true story. PBS continues to produce programs highlighting the geniuses of Hollywood, and the next is “Blake Edwards: A Love Story in 24 Frames” that premieres Aug. 27. We have an interview with Lesley Ann Warren, who talks about her experience with Edwards. Finally, if you watched “Tiger King” — and who didn’t watch it? — then you’ll want to catch the latest documentary from Eric Goode, “Chimp Crazy” on HBO and Max. The four episodes that began dropping weekly on Aug. 18 look at the people raising chimpanzees in captivity, and the efforts by PETA to stop them. Contact us! We want to hear from you! Email questions to podcasts@lee.net and we'll answer your question on a future episode! About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin.

We first hear from Dr. Pearl Dowe, an African American studies and political science professor, who serves as the vice provost for faculty affairs at Emory University, and Dr. Danielle Phillips-Cunningham, who teaches women's and African American labor histories at Rutgers University. The professors reflect on the life and legacy of Fannie Lou Hamer and talk about her fight for civil, human and women's rights. Rose then talks with award-winning actor Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, who is best known for her performance in films like “Origin”, “The Help” and “Ray.” Ellis-Taylor, who portrayed Hamer in the short film “Fannie,” explains why she views Fannie as a prophet and a freedom rights warrior.

Reggie “The Reel Critic” Ponder breaks down his thoughts on the 2024 Oscar nominations, and snubs.

On this week's show, Jamelle Bouie (Opinion columnist at The New York Times) sits in for Julia Turner. The hosts first begin with a trip to Ennis, a fictional Alaskan town at the heart of True Detective: Night Country, and review the fourth installment of the HBO Max anthology series. There's a new showrunner at the helm, Issa López, who brings a desperately needed fresh take on the Lovecraftian True Detective format, along with the series' two leads, played by Jodie Foster and Kali Reis. Then, the three dissect Origin, director Ava DuVernay's ambitious feature film adapted from the nonfiction book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by the American journalist Isabel Wilkerson.

Finally, Pitchfork, the rockstar's digital paradise and essential music review site, announced that it would be laying off most of its senior staff and be folded into fellow Condé Nast publication, GQ. What does that mean for both Pitchfork and the future of music criticism? Slate's music critic, Carl Wilson, joins to discuss. In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, it's the 25th anniversary of The Sopranos, and the panel discusses the series' incredible legacy along with what it means for the stories of Tony, Dr. Melfi, Carmela, and more, to hit a quarter of a century.

Cortney and Aunjanue have an honest conversation about the origins of hate and inhumanity on and off the screen, including why she believes Origin is not getting a fair shake in Hollywood despite the film's crucial global message.

Origin is the story of a writer who faces personal loss at the same time she works on a book based on her unified theory about systems of oppression. Written and directed by Ava DuVernay, the film is adapted from Isabel Wilkerson's best-selling book, Caste: The Origins Of Our Discontents, and dramatizes the book's ideas and the way it comes together. Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor stars as Wilkerson, and also features Jon Bernthal and Niecy Nash-Betts.
Ava DuVernay wrote and directed the new film, "Origin," which has been called "one of a kind," "powerful" and "ambitious." The story is based around the life of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson, played by Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and follows Wilkerson as she writes her book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. Published in 2020, the book argues for considering racism as an aspect of a caste system like those in India or Nazi Germany. DuVernay and Ellis-Taylor join us to discuss the film, which is in theaters now.
Thanks for patience with the delay in posting the show this morning. This week Megan and Dave talk about ORIGIN (2:51), director and screenwriter Ava DuVernay's adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson's book Caste, starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as Wilkerson, Jon Bernthal as Wilkerson's husband Brett, and Niecy Nash-Betts as Wilkerson's cousin and best friend Marion. All three of us watched I.S.S. (21:32), starring Ariana DeBose and Chris Messina, in a tale as old as time: The United States and Russia are at war, so the astronauts and cosmonauts on the international space station in Earth's orbit are instructed to take the structure in the name of their respective nations by any means necessary.

Host: Jamie Music by: Sammus Edited by: Jamie Broadnax
Black stories take the spotlight in this episode of Cinema Royale! I'm joined by Jamie Broadnax of Black Girl Nerds to talk about two of the biggest films of the year! First is Ava DuVernay's Origin, a stunning adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson's Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.Next up is a film that people have been buzzing about ever since it was first announced. The Color Purple, a big screen version of the Broadway musical starring Fantasia, Colman Domingo, Danielle Brooks, Taraji P. Henson, and many more! When I say people have been buzzing, I mean equal parts excited and worried whether it can live up to the 1985 classic, or the Tony Award-nominated stage show. Big shoes to fill, for sure, especially when Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Quincy Jones are watching over your shoulder as producers!We also ponder why NEON isn't pushing Origin as an Oscar contender when it's the entire reason they acquired it in the first place.All of this and more on a new episode of Cinema Royale!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!
