In this engaging and insightful discussion, renowned film critic George Thomas and entertainment expert Craig Shoup dive deep into the 2023 Academy Awards, analyzing the highs, the lows, and the major surprises of the evening. Join them as they reflect on the ceremony's best moments, from the unforgettable opening musical tribute to "The Wizard of Oz" to Conan O'Brien's hosting, which had everyone talking for his self-deprecating humor and comedic timing.Opening Tribute to "The Wizard of Oz" (0:45) George and Craig both praise the stunning and nostalgic opening musical tribute to "The Wizard of Oz," celebrating the film's timeless impact and the performances that brought it to life on the Academy stage. Conan O'Brien's Hosting (3:10) Next, George and Craig explore the role of Conan O'Brien as the host of the night. Known for his sharp wit and self-deprecating humor, Conan was a crowd favorite. The hosts discuss how Conan's comedic timing was the perfect fit for the ceremony, managing to keep the energy high and the atmosphere light-hearted throughout the evening. Conan's ability to make fun of himself while acknowledging the importance of the evening's awards was praised by both George and Craig. They agree that his unique hosting style helped make the 2023 Oscars one of the most entertaining in recent memory.Underwhelming Quincy Jones Tribute (6:30) While the evening was filled with shining moments, not everything landed as hoped. One of the more disappointing moments for both George and Craig was the tribute to legendary producer Quincy Jones. Despite the importance of Jones' legacy in the music industry, the tribute left both critics feeling underwhelmed. The Big Surprise: "Nora" Wins Big (10:00) The night's biggest shock came when the indie film "Nora" swept the major awards. George and Craig highlight the unexpected wins of "Nora" for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, with Sean Baker taking home four Oscars. They both express their astonishment at the film's triumph, noting that "Nora" had not been a frontrunner leading up to the event.Sean Baker's Four Oscar Wins (14:45) In a remarkable turn of events, filmmaker Sean Baker received four Oscar wins for his work on "Nora." Both George and Craig delve into the significance of Baker's success, noting how it reflects the growing prominence of independent filmmakers who are starting to gain more recognition at the highest levels of the film industry. Impact of "Nora" on Independent Cinema (18:20) George and Craig continue to explore how "Nora" could potentially change the landscape of independent cinema. They point to the film's success as a sign that the Academy is increasingly leaning towards diverse, contemporary, and unconventional films. The hosts discuss how this trend could benefit smaller films and filmmakers who may not have had a seat at the table in previous years. With the Academy's growing willingness to embrace unconventional storytelling, there is a sense of optimism for the future of films that are often sidelined by the major studios. Shifting Preferences of the Academy (22:00) As the conversation wraps up, George and Craig turn their attention to the shifting preferences of the Academy, which has shown an increasing interest in films that reflect social issues, diverse perspectives, and cutting-edge storytelling techniques. Conclusion and Final Thoughts (26:45) Wrapping up the discussion, George and Craig reflect on the 2023 Academy Awards as a celebration of both classic cinematic moments and groundbreaking achievements. While some parts of the evening fell short, overall, it was a night that honored the evolving nature of the film industry.

Today, on The Goggler Podcast, Bahir and Uma talk about the Japan Foundation's special JFF+ Independent Cinema 2023 program.

This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' we take a gastronomical journey back to 2011 to discuss the comic caper 'Delhi Belly' starring Imran Khan, Kunal Roy Kapur and Vir Das, directed by Abhibay Deo and written by Akshat Verma. Joining Abbas and Urjita is returning guest Karan Mirchandani riding high on his recently acquired 'influencer' status. Topics discussed include: The use of Hinglish in the film and why we didn't get more films like this, Is this an authentic Delhi movie? Does the film tell us men are disgusting? The genius of Vijay Raaz, the Easter eggs to other films and music and more. PSA: Given the nature of the film there is some literal shit talk between the three panelists so it's best to maybe NOT listen to this while having dinner. Watch Karan's viral Instagram reel here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CuWHkgzJ6o7/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==  Check out the last episode we did with Karan on 'Ek Hasina Thi': https://push.fm/fl/irqumtkt  Read Raja Sen's review of Delhi Belly: https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.rediff.com/amp/movies/report/raja-sen-reviews-delhi-belly/20110701.htm  Follow Abbas here: https://instagram.com/abbasmomin88  Follow Urjita here: https://instagram.com/urjitawani  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Filmmaker Joanna Arnow's shorts and docs are funny, fearless looks at people at their most excruciatingly vulnerable — especially herself.  In her debut feature, she ratchets up the deadpan humor to tell the story of a woman navigating the alternately mundane and surreal worlds of work, family… and BDSM relationships. Arnow sits down with host Rico Gagliano to talk about her characters' crossed wires, why pouring soup is funny, and what happens when you cast your parents as themselves.Every May, the population of sleepy Cannes, France triples — as film pros and cinephiles from around the globe convene for the two-week movie-thon called the Cannes Film Festival.  For the fourth season of the MUBI Podcast, we sent host Rico Gagliano into the eye of this celluloid storm, accompanied by an intrepid camera crew, to grab interviews with a cross-section of filmmakers who made Cannes 2023 one of the most celebrated in years. Guests include legendary director Wim Wenders, perennial Cannes favorites Kleber Mendonca Filho and Monia Chokri, and a slew of new filmmakers destined to be world cinema's next wave — from Belgian hip-hopper-turned-auteur Baloji to New York's wry boundary-smasher Joanna Arnow.

The once-thriving film industry in North Carolina appears to be making a comeback. We look at why and what it means for our state. We also talk about the opening of a new three-screen independent film theater in Charlotte.

Did you know that the U.S. movie industry began along the New Jersey side of the Hudson River in the early 1900s? This town is where The Exile, the first all-Black cast "talkie" by Pioneer African-American filmmaker Oscar Micheaux at Metropolitan Studios, was shot. And where the "mother of cinema, the first female film director and movie executive Alice Guy-Blaché, opened her studio?   Nelson Page, President of the Barrymore Film Center, shares the journey of building the Barrymore Film Center located in Fort Lee, New Jersey and its mission to support the voices of independent cinema and a tribute to Fort Lee's role in the movie-making industry. Opening in October 2022, thanks to Fort Lee's Mayor Mark Sokolich and the support of the Fort Lee Film Commission and Borough Council members, the Barrymore promises to be the leading venue for filmmakers in the NJ-NYC area. It includes a 260-seat cinema and film museum.    The Barrymore Film Center was designed by renowned theater architect, the late Hugh Hardy, whose work includes the renovations of Radio City Musical Hall and the Rainbow Room in Manhattan and so many other theaters.    

When the Manor Theatre closed, Charlotte was left with no independent movie theater screens. That is about to change. Hear about the Charlotte Film Society's opening of a three-screen independent film theater.
