There are some curveballs, too, which is always fun. Over on Patreon, the results of our Hitchcock for the Holidays poll is a discussion of the 1943 thriller SHADOW OF A DOUBT. It you're a patron, listen to it here.

Members of The Boston Online Film Critics Association recap the group's votes for the Top Ten Films of 2018

Beanie Feldstein currently stars in Greta Gerwig’s LADY BIRD opposite Saoirse Ronan. Set in Sacramento, California in 2002, the film takes an affecting look at the relationships that shape us, the beliefs that define us, and the unmatched beauty of a place called home. Christine “Lady Bird” McPherson (Ronan) is a loving, deeply opinionated and strong-willed high-school senior struggling to assert her independence, and Beanie plays the role of “Julie,” the loyal best friend who understands “Lady Bird” like no one else. Since A24 theatrically released LADY BIRD on November 3rd, Beanie has received critical acclaim for her performance, as has the film and its stellar cast including Laurie Metcalf, Tracy Letts, Timothee Chalamet and Lucas Hedges. LADY BIRD was nominated for a Golden Globe Award, Independent Spirit Award, Broadcast Film Critics’ Association Award, and named one of the top 10 films of the year by both the National Board of Review and American Film Institute. The film was also recognized by various critics’ groups including: New York Film Critics Circle, Boston Online Film Critics Association, Philadelphia Film Critics Circle, North Texas Film Critics Association, Washington, DC Film Critics Association, San Diego Film Critics Society, Chicago Film Critics Association, St. Louis Film Critics Association, Seattle Film Critics Society, Houston Film Critics Association and Phoenix Critics Circle. Furthermore, LADY BIRD broke the record of being the most reviewed film ever to maintain a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. In addition to the rave reviews of Beanie’s performance in LADY BIRD, she is also receiving recognition for her portrayal of “Minnie Fay” in the Broadway smash hit musical HELLO, DOLLY! with Bette Midler. The musical won a 2017 Tony Award for “Best Revival of a Musical.” Beanie will next star in Whitney Cummings’ THE FEMALE BRAIN which will be released by IFC on February 9th and also stars Cummings and Sofia Vergara. Previously she starred in Nicholas Stoller’s NEIGHBORS 2: SORORITY RISING alongside Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne and Chloe Moretz. The film grossed over $100 million worldwide. Her television credits include ABC Family comedy FAN GIRL, ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK on Netflix and THE DEVIL YOU KNOW, an HBO pilot directed by Gus Van Sant.

Boston Online Film Critics Association members Bob Chipman, Steve Head, Daniel Kimmel, Kristofer Jenson, Eli Fine, Byron McNeal and Brett Michel talk BOFCA's Year End "Best of 2017" movie awards picks and looks forward to the new year.

Happy almost New Year dear listeners! This week, after Kris reveals the very painful way he thinks Dave can fix a messed up shoulder, Dave agrees with Charlie Nash’s commentary on MOLLY’S GAME (5:26) from the previous episode. Next the guys talk about holiday films (7:35) they watched like A CHRISTMAS STORY, MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, EMMET OTTER’S JUG-BAND CHRISTMAS and CASABLANCA. Then they move onto their main event (16:00), a deep dive into their ballots for the Boston Online Film Critics Association’s annual awards. The guys each share their top 10 films from the year, while also debating the merits of their favorite performances, directors, screenplays, editing, cinematography and scores, which include work in movies never-before discussed on the show.

Episode 60 of One Week Only! This week, we are joined by special guest Charlie Nash, freelance film journalist and member of the Boston Online Film Critics Association! Our key film this week is the absurdist French farce "Slack Bay" about a ridiculously weird wealthy family in 1910's France on holiday at their seaside estate, and the mysterious "disappearances" going on in the neighborhood. Featuring a wonderful cast (including Juliette Binoche) playing a variety of strange characters, it's an absurd comedy about class and society told with expertly dark humor and visual splendor by director Bruno Dumont. It opened last week in New York, opened the COLCOA French Film Festival this week, and is now playing in Los Angeles.(44:00) We also review the horror film "A Dark Song" about an occult ceremony, directed by Liam Gavin (4:00); the period biopic "Nise: The Heart of Madness" about a courageous Brazilian doctor, directed by Roberto Berliner (10:35); the journalism documentary "Obit" about The New York Times obituary department, directed by Vanessa Gould (17:05); the Israeli dramedy "One Week and a Day" about a couple dealing with grief, directed by Asaph Polonsky (29:50); and the Canadian Jewish drama "Natasha" about Russian immigrants, directed by David Bezmozgis (36:50). Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com

The Boston Online Film Critics Association counts down it's Top Ten movies of 2016.

Pee talk takes an unexpected, yet movie-related turn at the start of this week’s episode. Once the guys dispense with their bathroom discussion, they move on to the Boston Online Film Critics Association’s yearly awards, which were recently announced to the public. The guys quickly walk through their ballots (at 4:37), mentioning their favorite films that didn’t win, exploring the nuances of their votes, and teasing movies like FENCES that they look forward to discussing in future episodes. After the awards excitement, Kris reviews COLLATERAL BEAUTY (at 28:00), a picture that sounds like an emo side project, where the filmmakers couldn’t decide between making an awards movie or a Christmas movie, so they made both and got something awful. With that out of the way, Dave and Evan take on this week’s big release, ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY (at 44:00), a prequel that doesn’t have much in common with other entries in the STAR WARS franchise. It has a diverse cast of skilled actors, deaths with weight, and a director that cares about framing shots, however Dave and Evan don’t think it deserves the hype from critics.   

John and Max talk about female directors with guest Charlie Nash from the Boston Online Film Critics Association. With new films such as Queen of Katwe, American Honey, and 13TH coming out there is no better time. Directors such as Ava DuVernay, Claire Denis, Chantal Akerman, Amy Heckerling, and Kathryn Bigelow are among the women highlighted for discussion.  We're also talking about the New York Film Festival and the new Lion King adaptation coming out.  Our trailer of the week is Ava DeVernay's 13TH.    Download the episode today and tweet at John and Max (@itsthepicpod).
