Ungewohnte Perspektiven eröffnet uns diesmal Jan mit dem Kunstfilm Die Nickel Boys, der so manchen schwindelig zurücklässt, ohne für ähnliche Verstimmungen zu sorgen wie der letztwöchige Civil War, den Der wilde Roboter a.k.a. Linguist unseres Vertrauens erneut zu besprechen sich bemüßigt sieht. Ob wir uns danach wie The Northman in einer dunklen Höhle angrunzen oder in Plaudereien über Emojis verfallen, werdet Ihr nur herausfinden, wenn ihr die Folge hört.

Mike sits down with Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things, It, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Billy Bryk (Hell of a Summer co-director/co-writer) and Fred Hechinger (Gladiator II, The White Lotus, Nickel Boys). They talk about their Gen Z slasher Hell of a Summer, how they wrote it for themselves, making sure it was funny while being behind and in front of the camera. Finn talks about his days of starring in punk rock music videos as a kid and what his first bit of success felt like. In the Movie Review, Mike talks Minecraft with Jack Black and Jason Momoa. Mike talks about how the movie won him over despite never playing the video game, how the story felt inspiring to him and how once again old crusty critics got it wrong. In the Trailer Park, Mike shares his thoughts on the new Leonardo DiCaprio movie called One Battle After Another. Leo plays a former member of a revolutionary group who seeks help from other revolutionaries to find his missing daughter. New Episodes Every Monday!

The Academy Awards take place on Sunday, March 2, bringing a strange and wonderful year in cinema—and an awards race filled with surprises and scandals—to an end. Will Emilia Perez win prizes despite the controversy surrounding its lead actress? Will Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan beat Adrien Brody as a brutalist architect in the Best Actor category? Will Oscar voters penalize films for using too much AI? We don't have all the answers to these pressing questions but, as usual, we do have a lot of opinions and (probably inaccurate) predictions. To sound those out, Film Comment editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute joined Los Angeles Review of Books editors Eric Newman and Paul Thompson on their Radio Hour program to hotly debate the relative merits of Anora, Nickel Boys, Conclave, A Complete Unknown, The Brutalist, and other films vying for a statuette or two on Sunday.

We began this episode talking about Joan Didion as a Hollywood figure and the importance of John Wayne, as well as her importance as a political writer with early strong conservative political views. Didion's portrayal of Hollywood and her lesser-known film criticism also came up for discussion, followed by a consideration of the work of the legendary film critic Pauline Kael and how Wilkinson, a film critic for The New York Times, decides what films to review or critique. Alyssa Wilkinson then spoke of what she views as the job of the film critic, and she spoke of her strong admiration for "Nickel Boys," which she called this year's best film. She and Krasny spoke of blockbusters, disaster and apocalyptic films, and Spielberg's "Jaws," and the larger question of the effect on our imaginations of the so-called Hollywood dream machine.Krasny and Wilkinson discussed villains and evil in contemporary films and Martin Scorsese's notion of too many films being like thrill rides and avoiding ordinary people and nuanced drama. They spoke, too, of the Oscars and discussed the history of the Oscars, and then went on to the impact of social media and streaming platforms and technology shifts and the question of misunderstood and too-long films and the tensions between art and commerce. They returned to Didion and her overall importance and concluded with a discussion of Wilkinson's view on faith and how she became a film critic and her film critic-filled Brooklyn neighborhood.

When the filmmaker and photographer RaMell Ross first read “The Nickel Boys,” Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about two Black boys in a dangerous reform school in the 1960s, he couldn't help but put himself in the shoes of its protagonists, Elwood and Turner.In his film adaptation of the book, Ross does that to the audience: You see what the characters see, because it's filmed from the main character's point of view. “I wondered,” Ross said, “how do you explicitly film from the perspective of a Black person?”It was an experiment that has paid off in critical acclaim. “Nickel Boys” has been nominated for two Academy Awards: best adapted screenplay and best picture.In the first episode of our special series devoted to Oscar-nominated films adapted from books, host Gilbert Cruz talks with Ross about why he made the film this particular way. Produced by Tina Antolini and Alex BarronWith Kate LoPrestiEdited by Wendy DorrEngineered by Sophia LanmanOriginal music by Elisheba IttoopHosted by Gilbert Cruz Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.
