Podcasts about Overlook Film Festival

The Pitt enjoyed an outstanding first season run. It was critically acclaimed, scooped up a number of significant accolades, and also amassed a passionate fan base that came to care deeply for the characters. It's an undeniably wonderful opportunity to get the chance to join the cast of a proven hit, but it also comes with a significant amount of pressure. Not only are you jumping aboard a fast-moving train on set, but you're also challenged to craft a character that fans will come to love just as much as their Season 1 favorites. Laëtitia Hollard managed to do just that as nurse Emma in The Pitt Season 2.The Pitt enjoyed an outstanding first season run.

Not only are you jumping aboard a fast-moving train on set, but you're also challenged to craft a character that fans will come to love just as much as their Season 1 favorites. Laëtitia Hollard managed to do just that as nurse Emma in The Pitt Season 2.Emma Nolan (Hollard) is fresh out of nursing school and is assigned to shadow the nurses at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center's Emergency Department. Emma is essentially thrown into the deep end on July 4. Her first day on the job throws a vast array of challenges her way, including the task of preparing Louie (Ernest Harden Jr.) to be laid to rest, caring for a sexual assault victim, being attacked by a patient herself, and then some, and Emma navigates it all with a staggering amount of grace and kindness. Hollard turned Emma into an impossibly lovable character, leaving many with fingers crossed tight that she'll return for Season 3.While attending the 2026 Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans for her feature film debut, Larry Fessenden's Trauma or, Monsters All, she took the time to sit down for a Collider Ladies Night interview to discuss the remarkable things she accomplished a mere year after graduating from the Juilliard School, Emma's biggest moments in The Pitt Season 2, and her hopes for the character's Season 3 storyline.

Another year, another Overlook Film Festival, one of the premier genre festivals in the country. Unfortunately, this year, the main players of The Scariest Things were unable to attend the festival in person. Eric was able to get some of the films to stream, but, as is the norm, remote screeners were limited and did not include the showcase films. Fortunately for us, one of our loyal Patreon Contributors, Robin Marcotte, was in attendance again, and she helped fill in the gaps we missed. This year, there were a number of good films, and according to Robin, one GREAT film. This year, we watched fourteen films and thirty shorts. Give our recap a listen to hear our thoughts on the 2026 Overlook presentation. It pains me not to attend Overlook. It is one of my favorite events every year, but this doldrums economy forced me to be cautious with my funds, so I resorted to reviewing their films remotely. The pandemic spoiled stay-at-home movie critics, as nobody could attend festivals in person. All the films were remote. The times have reverted back, however, and one of the poorly held secrets is that film festivals rarely ever make their centerpiece films available for remote review. SXSW, Sundance, Overlook… the bigger films just don’t get the distributor go-ahead. However, some independent films were made available, and that was true for 2026. Fortunately for us, one of our valued Patreon patrons, Robyn Marcotte, was, as usual, in attendance, as she is a New Orleans local. Shockingly, many of the releases with known quantity actors and/or directors failed to connect with Robyn. Proof positive that The Scariest Things is not a shill for festival darling films! Still, there were a number of gems worth watching. Films we were able to cover: Obsession, directed by Curry Barker Hokum, directed by Damian McCarthy Leviticus, directed by Adrian Chiarella American Dollhouse, directed by John Valley Buffet Infinity, directed by Simon Glassman Chili Finger, directed by Edd Benda and Stephen Helstad Cramps! A Period Piece, directed by Brooke H.

Astra Award-winning actor, Indy! He won for his performance in Good Boy (2025) Who’s a good boy? Why, you are, Indy! In a monumental achievement, Indy the dog’s performance in Good Boy earned him the Astra Award for Best Performance in a Horror or Thriller, beating out his esteemed human competition. In a year that has started off with so much social friction, it is amazing news like this that gives us hope. This win is for the underdog. How did Indy do it? Listen to my interview with director Ben Leonberg about how they pulled off this miraculous feat. The Astra Awards are presented by the Hollywood Creative Alliance, a collective group of movie industry professionals, and this was their ninth annual awards ceremony. The Astra Awards expand the genres eligible for awards. Like the Golden Globes, they award separate categories for dramas and comedies/musicals. In a laudable move, they also have awards for best horror or thriller. So, this is not a genre awards festival; they have set these awards to align with the end of the year and the lead-up to the Oscars. Indy’s competition this year was strong: Alfie Williams for 28 Years Later Alison Brie for Together Ethan Hawke for The Black Phone 2 Sally Hawkins for Bring Her Back Sophie Thatcher for Companion Indy the Dog for Good Boy Curiously, no acting nominations for Sinners or Weapons. I’m actually pleased that these other performances got rewarded. No worries. There will almost certainly be Oscar noms for Amy Madigan and Michael B. Jordan. This may be a first: a non-human acting award over human competition. I think the Astra Awards just made some waves. For those of you who fall in love with Indy and want a dog like him, he is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. It’s an uncommon breed, but I’d expect this movie to make the breed a lot more popular! The AKC describes this breed as “lovey dovey”, pretty good with other dogs, and very good with children. Moreover, they are super cute. How Did They Pull This Off? First and foremost, it helps that Indy is director Ben Leonberg’s pet. Secondly, it took a very long time, over three years from start to release. Hundreds of hours of footage had to be shot to capture the perfect reaction for Indy, and the shooting schedule was limited to three-hour sessions with him to avoid wearing him out. For anyone worried about harming the dog, worry not! All the acting was done with positive reinforcement and treats, and a stunt dog was used for any truly perilous scenes. Harm to dogs is a trigger for many viewers, particularly in horror movies. People who willingly put good money to see teenagers get slaughtered by the dozen will nope out with violence to a dog. So, many people have asked me, “Does Indy make it?” I can’t say that without spoiling the movie, since it’s all about him. However, if it means the difference between seeing the movie and not, I suggest you go to the site Does the Dog Die trigger warning database to get the spoilers. Good Boy is going to go down as the little Indie Horror film that could for 2025. On a reported budget of only $70,000, the movie to date, with a limited release, has a worldwide gross of over $8,700,000… plus whatever they were able to receive as their Shudder contract. That’s over a 100:1 ratio of profitability! Congratulations to Indy and Ben for their wonderful movie. This will be a cult film favorite. It lands at #4 on my Horror Movies for 2025, and I know I am not alone in my admiration for this movie. The Interview: For deeper insight into the movie’s production and how Ben got such a wonderful performance out of Indy, here is my interview with Leonberg at the Overlook Film Festival in April 2025. I’ve been doing industry interviews for going on nine years, and this is one of my absolute favorite discussions. Check it out! Ben Leonberg of Good Boy, directing his dog, the award-winning Indy. On set with the dog height camera rig: Indy and Ben Leonberg from Good Boy.

Did you know that Han from the Fast & Furious movies directed a cutesy indie horror comedy? Believe it!

Overlook, the great New Orleans Horror Film Festival, has delivered its goods. Long-time Patreon supporter of The Scariest Things, Robyn Marcotte, joined us to share her experiences with Eric and Liz on the festival. More than ever, I found that I didn't have enough time to see nearly enough of the movies. Still, I was able to catch eight feature films and 23 short films. You have to pick and choose, as it is physically impossible to see all the movies. So, it became a bit of a guessing game as to what was going to be the best watch. In this episode, we share our thoughts on everything we did at the Festival.

In this episode we bring you some highlights of this year's Overlook Film Festival with a special look at The Ugly Step Sister directed by Emilie Blichfeldt. We'll take you to Scandinavian House for a screening of the film and a Q & A with the director followed by our review.

This week we are joined by Jack Aldisert of Deadweight Theatre, creator of The Manikins, which was the talk of the London immersive scene throughout 2024 — so much so that some legendary figures on that scene became collaborators — and which will be coming to the Overlook Film Festival in New Orleans this April and is sure to be all the talk there. In the host chair for this discussion is Shelley Snyder, NoPro's London Curator — and not only do Shelley and Jack deftly avoid serious spoilers (although those who love to go in cold, consider yourself forewarned) they also have one of the frankest conversations about making immersive work I've had the pleasure of listening to in quite some time. – NoahSHOW NOTESThe ManikinsDeadweight TheatreThe Overlook Film Festival 2025 Events Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

While we were at the Overlook Film Festival we picked up a movie from the Vinegar Syndrome table called Prey.  We had never heard of it and it was blind buy for both of us.   I think we should just let the official Wikipedia entry describe this film.  A carnivorous shape-shifting alien named Kator lands in the woods of rural England. The vanguard of an invasion force, his mission is to evaluate the suitability of humans as a source of food for his species. He kills Anderson and Sandy, a couple having a tryst in their parked car, and assumes the appearance of Anderson. Later, he encounters Jessica-Ann and Josephine, a lesbian couple who live in a manor house. Although Jessica owns the property, having inherited it from her Canadian parents, the dominant of the pair is Jo, who is unusually possessive of Jessica and suspicious of men. Simon, Jessica's boyfriend, has mysteriously disappeared. The women are vegetarians and live in seclusion with only some chickens and a pet parrot, Wally, for company. This is movie that's hard to talk about without spoilers, so be warned, we spoil this crazy movie.   Where to find us: https://linktr.ee/Jumpscarepodcast #Prey #HorrorMovies #70shorror #normanjwarren #barrystokes #sallyfaulkner #gloryannen #horrorpodcast #moviereview #vinegarsyndrome 

This episode has 4 parts! Where we are right now, before the first screening, after the first screening, and after the festival. It's a quadriology. You know I've read that the ALIEN movies invented that term but I just looked it up and it's not true.

At the Overlook Film Festival, The Scariest Things caught up with up-and-coming director John Rosman, who was on hand to present his debut feature film New Life. This thriller was a sleeper surprise at the festival. A political thriller that morphs into a toe-curling body horror show halfway through. The film is in limited theatrical release and can be streamed online now!

April means going to New Orleans for one of the best genre film festivals in the world and one of our favorites: The Overlook Film Festival. This year was a challenge for the festival as the 2023 SGA and WGA strikes had a diminishing effect on studio releases, the fest managed to pull in some terrific foreign films, and the short films shined too.
