On episode 299 of the AwardsWatch Podcast, it's an all editors show as Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello look at the wealth of fall festival lineup announcements that came in this week from Venice and Toronto. In the pod, the trio start with Venice, which will be the kickoff of no less than three Netflix titles: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly and the return of Kathryn Bigelow with A House of Dynamite. With a few other Netflix titles rolling around, we talk about the impact of these three titles starting off here and where else we'll see them this season. Yorgos Lanthimos' newest collab with Emma Stone, Bugonia, will also bow at Venice, leaving Focus Features' other top title Hamnet, rip for Telluride. Mona Fastvold, fresh off The Brutalist last year (with her partner Brady Corbet), has The Testament of Ann Lee with Amanda Seyfried, something has all of us buzzing. Then there's The Smashing Machine from Benny Safdie and starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. We also dig into the Out of Competition titles, specifically Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt, which has some internet folks thinking it means something more than it does. Onto TIFF, always the most helpful as specific designations are listed for each film, we talk about Rental Family starring Brendan Fraser, Sydney Sweeney in Christy and where the big Cannes winners from NEON and MUBI, like Sentimental Value, It Was Just an Accident, The Secret Agent, Sirāt and Sound of Falling landed. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 1h14m. We'll be back next week with an Oscar retrospective of the 63rd Academy Awards, covering the films of 1990. Till then, let's get into it.

Episode Overview In this episode of The Design Vault, hosts Albert Shum and Thamer Abanami explore the remarkable story of the Casio G-Shock DW5000C—a watch born from heartbreak that revolutionized an entire industry. When engineer Kikuo Ibe's cherished graduation gift from his father shattered on the floor in 1981, it sparked a two-year obsession to create the "unbreakable watch." What emerged wasn't just a timepiece, but an entirely new design language of durability that would influence everything from smartphones to extreme sports culture. This episode reveals how three engineers, armed with the "Triple 10" challenge and radical thinking, transformed failure into one of the most iconic products of the 1980s.

On this week's show, the Edinburgh Filmhouse is back, bay-bee! Peter, Jamie and Anahit offer their thoughts and well-wishes after each visiting it on opening weekend. If you've ever wanted to hear us talk about legroom and patina, you're in luck. Film-wise, we review Pavements, Alex Ross Perry's multi-stranded doc/biopic/musical of Peter's favourite 90s slacker indie band, and 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle's return to the land of iPhone cameras, violent zombies and haunting depictions of faux-50s provincialism (they're calling it 'The UK', etc etc). Oh, and there's time for a first look at the Edinburgh Film Festival programme. Early notes: looks not bad. Interesting stuff, good venues, intriguing times ahead.

Holly and critic Dave Moore (https://www.otherdavemoore.com) talk about the 2018 pop movie Vox Lux, directed by Brady Corbet (director of the Oscar-winning The Brutalist), and why its nihilistic interpretation of manufactured Millennial teenpop is incoherent, wrong, and - worst of all - boring.This is Part 1 - Part 2 will follow shortly.A full list of songs and audio clips used in the episode is available here: https://rentry.co/79vvk88cAll audio clips are used for the purposes of criticism.

It might be black-and-white film that is over three-and-a-half hours long. It might feature some A.I. It might even feature a lot of scenes and mansion in rural Pennsylvania.

Why do our villains keep breaking the fourth wall? Why do we enjoy such horrific films?

ADA: MY MOTHER THE ARCHITECT is a documentary directed by Yael Melamede, the daughter of the titular mother, Ada Karim-Melamede.Karim-Melamede is one of Israel's finest architects, receiving the Israel Prize for architecture in 2007, an honor she shares with both her father and brother. She co-designed Israel's Supreme Court with her brother from 1982 to 1992. This was a move intended to only keep her separate from her American-based husband and three kids for a year. 40 years later, Ada continues to live alone in Tel Aviv.This tension between mother and daughter is inherent to the story, but never beholden to it. Yael, a self-proclaimed failed architect in her own right, approaches interviewing her mother against a typical cradle-to-career-to-family path. She gets Ada to talk the most by asking about architecture.It's through Ada's breakdowns of five concepts that Yael is able to blend a primer on architectural appreciation with her mother's history. This movie coming in the wake of THE BRUTALIST's success last year doesn't surprise me. What it does do, however, is expand the horizons of my understanding. You can look at a pretty building all day, but once you understand how the architect chooses, characterizes, synthesizes each decision, almost like a filmmaker blocking each frame? It's hard to ever again look at a building with merely a passive gaze.Via Ada's conversations about architectural roots, the role of one's heart, the passage of time and the need to respect the past when it comes time to carve a creative future, I learn about this woman's devotion to the environment, history, the fulfillment of a grand ideological promise, and mostly, the benefits of creating within a community.What Yael Melamede is able to pull off in 80 minutes is astonishing. I shouldn't have expected any less from someone with such a history in design. ---Please rate, review & subscribe to The Movies wherever you listen to podcasts!Follow The Movies on Instagram & Letterboxd

This week on The Chazz Palminteri Show, Chazz is joined by award-winning actor Alessandro Nivola, known for his powerful performances in Face/Off, The Many Saints of Newark, Laurel Canyon, and the recently acclaimed film The Brutalist. In this thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation, Alessandro opens up about growing up in a deeply artistic family, the projects that shaped his career, and what it means to choose authenticity over fame. He also shares behind-the-scenes moments working with Hollywood icons, how his upbringing influenced his path, and why sometimes turning down a big paycheck is the best decision for an artist. This episode is a must-listen for actors, creatives, and anyone who values the pursuit of meaningful work.

The Brutalist has been one of the most talked about films of the year and taps into a rich vein of films and television that dramatise the immigrant experience. From The Godfather Part 2 to Small Axe, The Emigrants to Home and Away and An American Tail - Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode examine how filmmakers have investigated and portrayed the perils, patterns and adventure of human movement across the globe.Mark speaks to film critic Christina Newland about the history of immigrant epics in Hollywood - from Once Upon a Time in America to The Brutalist.Ellen then speaks to writer and creator of the tv series Get Millie Black, Marlon James, about his experience watching Small Axe for the first time. Ellen also talks to director Sir Steve McQueen about his anthology series Small Axe and how the films act as their own immigrant epic for the Windrush generation.Producer: Queenie Qureshi-Wales A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

IndieSeen sells out! This month, Ian and Sujewa welcome Jeff York for a spirited discussion of Adrian Lyne's blockbuster relationship drama, Indecent Proposal.This (very loose) adaptation of Jack Engelhard's novel centers on David (Woody Harrelson) and Diana (Demi Moore), a young married couple who, after loosing their meager savings in Las Vegas, are presented with a life-changing offer from billionaire John Gage (Robert Redford): $1 million to spend the night with Diana. The encounter and its after-effects may have split the narrative right down the middle--but it united audiences in making Indecent Proposal one of the highest-grossing films of 1993.In this spoilerific episode, the guys examine the movie in a few different contexts: as a comparison to the source material; as an awkward attempt to fit Lyne's film into the trendy "erotic thriller" niche; and as a bungled telling of what could have been (in more thoughtful hands) a challenging and dare-we-say-"sexy" head-trip for the ages.They also talk bad casting; Indecent Proposal's unfortunate connection to The Brutalist; and the recently announced news that Redford's Sundance Film Festival is vacating Park City, Utah, after nearly 40 years!Subscribe, like, and comment on Kicking the Seat here on YouTube, and check us out at:kickseat.comXBlueSkyInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the Indecent Proposal (1993) trailer.Keep up with Jeff York's criticism and caricatures at The Establishing Shot and Pipeline Artists.Check out Sujewa's latest podcast venture, This Arthouse Life!

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an séú lá fiche de mhí Aibreán. Is mise Sibéal Dempsey.Fuair an Pápa Proinsias bás Dé Luain de bharr stróc agus cliseadh croí, tar éis dó a bheith thíos le tinneas riospráide den chuid is mó den bhliain seo. Glacadh isteach san ospidéal éden chéad uair ar an gceathrú lá déag de mhí Feabhra mar gheall ar thinneas a d'fhorbair ina niúmóine dúbailte sa deireadh. Bhí an Pápa, a bhí ochtó a hocht mbliana d'aois, ar an gcéad phontaif as Meiriceá Laidineach agus bhí cáil air, i measc rudaí eile, as dúshlán a thabhairt do ghníomhaíochtaí polaiteoirí agus iad ag tabhairt aghaidh ar an ngéarchéim aeráide agus as a bheith ina ghuth do na boicht. Bhí a láithreas poiblí deireanach ar an Domhnach nuair a thug sé beannacht na Cásca i gcearnóg Naomh Peadar. Tá Kevin Farrell, a rugadh i mBaile Átha Cliath, chun an Vatacáin a stiúradh go dtí godtoghfar pápa nua, rud a bhfuiltear ag súil leis sna seachtainí beaga amach romhainn.Tá tuairiscí ar an dara seomra comhrá Signal a úsáideadh chun oibríochtaí míleata na Stát Aontaithe a phlé ag cur brú ar rúnaí cosanta na Stát Aontaithe, Pete Hegseth, éirí as. I measc an chomhrá bhí Hegseth, a bhean chéile, a dheartháir agus timpeall dosaen duine eile. Sa chomhrá, tá sé i gceist gur roinn Hegseth sonraí faoi ionsaí na Stát Aontaithe ar reibiliúnaigh Yemeni Houthi an mhí seo caite lena n-áirítear sceidil eitilte, cosúil leis an méid a roinneadh sa chéad chomhrá Signal go poiblí an mhí seo caite. Chosain Trump Hegseth agócáid chaitheamh Uibheacha na Cásca sa Teach Bán ag rá go raibh jab iontach á dhéanamh aige.É sin ráite, deir saineolaithe slándála gur féidir go mbeidh spiairí idirnáisiúnta ag díriú ar Hegseth anois.Fógraíodh rialacha nua maidir le roghnú na mbuaiteoirí Oscar an tseachtain seo. Chuir ceann amháin díobh sin, go gcaithfidh an painéal moltóirí féachaint ar na scannáin ábhartha ar fad, fearg ar dhaoine nach raibh sé seo ina riachtanas cheana féin. Mar thoradh ar riail nua eile, go bhféadfaí scannáin atá ag brath ar Intleacht Shaorga a roghnú mar bhuaiteoirí, tá díospóireacht theasaí ar siúl, cé go bhfuil sé ráite ag an Acadamh freisin go measfadh sé rannpháirtíocht an duine sa phróiseas roghnúcháin. Tháinig fadhb chun cinn maidir le húsáid intleacht shaorga i scannáin bhuaiteacha tar éis é a úsáid chun an scannán The Brutalist a fhorbairt, go háirithe chun blas an phríomh-aisteora a fheabhsú nuair a labhair sé san Ungáiris. Tá béim curtha ag roinnt aisteoirí agus scríbhneoirí scáileáin ar an mbaol go gcaillfí saothar le intleacht shaorga agus go n-úsáidfí é chun mí-úsáid a bhaint as a n-íomhá féin.*Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

In this episode of High Theory Nasser Mufti talks with us about Brutalism. A twentieth century architectural style featuring imposing structures made of a lot of concrete, brutalist structures tend to provoke strong reactions. People either love it or they hate it – you never get a middling conversation about brutalism. Often used for government buildings, university libraries, and hospitals, Nasser suggests it represents the architecture of the state itself, massive bureaucratic structures in which we get lost, but also perhaps, nostalgia for a state that actually takes care of its citizens. Before we recorded the episode, Nasser sent me this article about the Brutalist campus at the University of Illinois where he works, which is full of beautiful black and white images. In the episode he refers to a line in Charles Dickens's Bleak House (1853), which describes Chesney Wold as “seamed by time.” And he reminds us that verb form “decolonizing” is quite new, even Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong'o Decolonizing the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature (1986) only uses the gerund in the title. The neologism “decolonizing” is distinct from the world historical project of decolonization and the historiographic method of decolonial analysis that comes from Latin American studies. Nasser Mufti is an associate professor of English at the University of Illinois, Chicago, where his research and teaching focuses on nineteenth century British and postcolonial literature and theory. He is especially interested in literary approaches to the study of nationalism. His first book, Civilizing War: Imperial Politics and the Poetics of National Rupture (Northwestern University Press, 2018) argues that narratives of civil war energized and animated nineteenth-century British imperialism and decolonization in the twentieth century. You can read it online, open access, which is pretty damn cool! He is working on two new projects, the first, tentatively titled Britain's Nineteenth Century, 1963-4, looks at how anticolonial and postcolonial thinkers from the Anglophone world turned to nineteenth century British literature and culture as a way to think decolonization. The second, titled “Colonia Moralia,” examines the dialectics of postcolonial Enlightenment through comparative readings of T.W. Adorno and V.S. Naipaul. The image for this episode is a photograph of Boston City Hall, a Brutalist building mentioned in the episode. The black and white photograph shows an interior courtyard of the building, a large concrete structure with many windows, located at One City Hall Square, Boston, Suffolk County, MA.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 136 - Judy Becker - Production Designer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with production designer Judy Becker (THE BRUTALIST, CAROL, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN). Judy's love for art and collaboration began at the age of 3 and developed throughout her childhood, and after discovering the theatre department in high school, she found her way into the New York filmmaking scene. Having worked in a number of projects across many different periods of history, Judy shares how she approaches bringing those spaces to life, and we reflect on the fact that absolute accuracy to a period doesn't always look real on the screen. Later, during our discussion of her work on THE BRUTALIST, Judy reflects on the challenges of communicating with a crew whose language is nothing like her own, and she reveals how they fought for scraps of plywood and found (and built) post-war America in Hungary. Judy also shares how she approached designing The Institute—the architectural centerpiece of the film—and she reveals how they used the scale model they built in the actual shoot. We also discuss the differences between working on location and in a stage, and Judy shares the creative attraction to working on producer Ryan Murphy's many television shows. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

David Remnick is joined by Alexandra Schwartz, the co-host of the podcast Critics at Large, and The New Yorker's august film critic Richard Brody. They talk about the past year in film and predict the victors of the Academy Awards. Brody dismisses “The Brutalist”—a film that merely uses the Holocaust “as metaphor”—and tells Remnick that “Wicked” might win Best Picture. “I think there's a huge desire for cinematic comfort food that makes a billion dollars.” Continuing the Radio Hour's annual tradition, Brody discusses nominees and selects the winners of the coveted award that we call The Brody.

Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang.   The Academy Awards are Hollywood's grandest night—the moment when months of speculation, surprise wins, and snubs all culminate in one golden evening. And this year, the road to Oscar glory has been anything but predictable.   Was Anora's big night at the Critics Choice, DGA, and PGA the ultimate confirmation that it's the Best Picture frontrunner, or is there still room for a shocking upset? Will Sean Baker walk away with Best Director, or could someone else—maybe The Brutalist's Brady Corbet or Emilia Pérez's Jacques Audiard—steal the moment? And what about Wicked, which just had a stunning, completely unexpected win for Jon M. Chu at the Critics Choice Awards? Could the musical blockbuster actually shake up the race?   From underdog stories to behind-the-scenes drama, tonight, we're unpacking all the Oscar buzz with film critic Smithsonian Associate Noah Gittell. Noah Gittell will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up…please check out our show notes today for more details.
