Celine Song, writer-director of the new film Materialists, uses a similar framework that garnered her a lot of admiration from moviegoers. In her feature directorial debut, Past Lives, the lead character Nora struggles to manage a love triangle, only for her to discover what the differences are between these lives she’s romanticized. In Materialists, Lucy deals with a similar problem, although the film spends a lot more time on why we date, and the equations we come up with in our head to find ‘the one.’ Today on FilmWeek, we’re joined by Materialists writer-director Celine Song, and getting a sense of how she created this world that reflects today’s dating culture.
Is it true that “Love don't cost a thing” or could J.Lo just have been jaded by a materialistic lover? Nick and Sophia ponder this question as they review and react to Celine Song's latest feature, Materialists, before diving into spoilers at (12:27). If you haven't seen the movie yet, don't worry! Skip ahead to the next segment and come back for all of their steamy, love triangle thoughts. Then they share their very early Oscar predictions in all acting categories, Director, Picture, and for the first time ever, Casting! (29:22) Enjoy their fun banter as they mention a wide range of picks, from buzzy Cannes performances to previous Oscar winners and the ever-present biopic roles.

This week Kerensa Cadenas joins Izzy and Murtada to chat about Celine Song's sophomore film, Materialists. The marketing of the film seemed to suggest that the film is a rom-com, and while today's panel certainly got the “rom,” they were left wanting for the “com.” Together, they review how the film handles the subject of sexual assault, Dakota Johnson's monotone appeal, and whether or not legs really mean that much in the dating world. Check out more of Kerensa's work and her conversation with an actual matchmaker here.Follow the show on Twitter and Instagram: @IMPictureShow.To hear more from Izzy and Murtada check them out on social media: Izzy (Twitter: @bkrewind, IG: @bk_rewind); Murtada (Twitter: @ME_Says, IG: murtada_e).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, Alex Heeney digs into Celine Song's Materialists, a film about Lucy, a matchmaker struggling with her own love triangle. Will Lucy (Dakota Johnson) choose love — in the form of her poor ex John (Chris Evans) — or money with eligible bachelor Harry (Pedro Pascal)? And can love and money even co-exist? With its charming cast, elegant blocking, and standout sound design, Materialists could have been a sharp, class-conscious rom-com. But for all its promise, it ends up skimming the surface. You will hear: What works well in the film, including the visual storytelling and sound design Where the film struggles, especially with its thin characterization and reluctance to fully engage with class and money Comparisons with other works, such as Gossip Girl (2007–2012) and Patricia Rozema's Mansfield Park (1999), that tackle similar themes with more depth Links Mentioned:
In this episode of the Screens in Focus podcast, hosts Diana and Sam dive deep into Dead City Season 2, Episode 7—the penultimate chapter. They kick things off with a thought-provoking question: What's scarier—heights, deep space, or the deep sea? The conversation unpacks Maggie's terrifying moment on the glass bridge, shocking reveals with Hershel and the Dama, and Negan's emotional descent into guilt, grief, and hallucination. They explore themes of control, manipulation, and survival, comparing Maggie and Negan's parallel journeys and what these trials say about who they are now. Favorite moments, fears, and finale predictions round out the discussion. Plus, the hosts share their current watches: Sam recommends The Mortician, Titan:The OceanGate Disaster, and more, while Diana talks about Ginny & Georgia, The Materialists, and the action-thriller Plane. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:29 Question of the Day: What's Scarier? 01:04 Episode Highlights and Shocking Moments 02:31 Dharma and Herschel: Control or Belief? 09:22 Maggie's Struggles and Crow Ad's Intentions 14:41 Negan's Horror Hospital and Ghosts of His Past 24:58 Negan's Emotional Journey 25:49 Maggie and Negan: Mirrors of Each Other 27:33 Negan's Guilt and Redemption 29:26 Rapid Fire Questions 33:44 Speculations for the Finale 40:59 TV and Movie Recommendations 46:03 Final Thoughts and Farewell Website: www.screensinfocus.com Email: screensinfocus@gmail.com X https://x.com/screensinfocus Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/screensinfocuspodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/screensinfocus Feedback and TV/Movie Recommendations: Google voice (669) 223-8542 Free background music from JewelBeat.com: www.jewelbeat.com

The director Celine Song won over audiences and critics alike with her first feature film, “Past Lives,” the semi-autobiographical tale of a married Korean American woman meeting up with her former childhood sweetheart. Now Song is back with another story about love called “The Materialists.” This time the main character is a matchmaker, a job that Song did briefly in her early 20s.Today on the show, Song reads Louise Rafkin's Modern Love essay “My View From the Margins,” about a relationship columnist who can't figure out love in her own life. And Song tells us how neither falling in love at age 24 nor making a career of writing about love has brought her any closer to understanding it. “It's the one thing that makes me feel like a fool,” Song says.Here's how to submit a Modern Love essay to The New York Times.Here's how to submit a Tiny Love Story.

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.

Finally, we discuss the new Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans movie - MATERIALISTS, directed by Celine Song. Is it ‘Broke Boy Propaganda' as the kids are saying??

Film and television reviewer James Croot with what he's been watching.
As a podcast all about the zeitgeist, we've wanted to do an episode about James Frey's memoir A Million Little Pieces — and the 2005 controversy around it — for years. So when Traci Thomas (she/her) agreed to join us on Material Girls, we were thrilled to finally have the perfect guest to help us dig in.Among numerous other accomplishments, Traci Thomas is the creator and host of the critically acclaimed literary podcast, The Stacks, as well as the writer behind the incredible Substack, Unstacked. Through her insights into celebrity book clubs, Oprah's cultural positioning in the early aughts, publishing norms and reader expectations, Hannah and Marcelle make sense of one of the most fascinating scandals of the last 20 years.Note — if you don't care about the controversy, but you've always wanted to understand the differences between memoir, autobiography and auto-fiction, then you should give this episode a listen. :)To learn more about Material Girls, head to our Instagram at instagram.com/ohwitchplease! Or check out our website ohwitchplease.ca. We'll be back next week with a Material Concerns episode, but until then, go check out all the other content we have on our Patreon at Patreon.com/ohwitchplease! Patreon is how we produce the show and pay our team! Thanks again to all of you who have already made the leap to join us there!***Material Girls is a show that makes sense of the zeitgeist through materialist critique* and critical theory! Each episode looks at a unique object of study (something popular now or from back in the day) and over the course of three distinct segments, Hannah and Marcelle apply their academic expertise to the topic at hand.*Materialist Critique is, at its simplest possible level, a form of cultural critique – that is, scholarly engagement with a cultural text of some kind – that is interested in modes of production, moments of reception, and the historical and ideological contexts for both. Materialist critique is interested in the question of why a particular cultural work or practice emerged at a particular moment.

Like I'M NOT THERE, Alex Ross Perry's new docu-like feature PAVEMENTS takes a “print the legend” approach to its subject, blurring reality and fiction to convey the significance of defining ‘90s indie rock group Pavement from a few different semi-fabricated angles. Is that approach better suited to established fans, including our returning guest and longtime friend Noel Murray, than it is to newcomers less equipped to parse how the film skews the band's history and creative output? Perhaps, and we get into that this week before placing PAVEMENTS' slanted snapshot next to I'M NOT THERE's fractured Bob Dylan portrait to see how each attempts to portray an artist's essence, if not their biography, and explores how fame can turn a person into a persona. And in Your Next Picture Show we recommend another one of Perry's experiments in using music-biopic conventions to tell a different kind of rock-n-roll story, 2018's HER SMELL. Please share your thoughts about I'M NOT THERE, PAVEMENTS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.
