This week, Film Comment is reporting from the picturesque shores of the Lido, where the Venice Film Festival takes place each year. This year's edition features new films by many major auteurs, including Noah Baumbach, Luca Guadagnino, Yorgos Lanthimos, Laura Poitras, and more. For our sixth episode from the city of canals, Film Comment Editor Devika Girish invited critics Guy Lodge and and Öykü Sofuoğlu to discuss some recent festival premieres, including Pietro Marcello's Duse (2:45), Ross McElwee's Remake (12:39), Kaouther Ben Hania's The Voice of Hind Rajab (21:42), and Kathryn Bigelow's A House of Dynamite (41:32).

We weren't expecting this miniseries on Dwayne Johnson to be so relevant, but as he debuted his “new look” at the Venice Film Festival and began his awards season campaign, Laci and Matt react to the news of the week and unpack his public comments. Johnson reflected on his own career with many of the thoughts we've had as we've gone through his filmography. Is he sincere about it, or just being a good politician trying to win an award? Does he mean it when he says he was ready to pivot to “serious acting” or he was forced to by having so many consecutive box office failures? And is Emily Blunt really his best friend? Does it matter? We take the new information and give our concluding thoughts on the acting career of The Rock, and then rank the nine movies we covered during the summer. And then, we answer some mailbag questions, including: Fuck/Marry/Kill: The duck who shows her tits in Howard the Duck, tiny Dwayne Johnson in Tooth Fairy, and the Thanksgiving turkey from Spider-Man? What relationship from any movie sums up our relationship? Is there a movie that strikes both of us in such a way that we connect over it? What are some underrated movie sequels? What makes us passionate about movies and TV? What movie makes us fight? The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long! Next week: FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992).

Katey reunites with her former Little Gold Men co-hosts David Canfield and Richard Lawson now that they've also wrapped up their time at Vanity Fair but remain very much in the thick of awards season. David, calling from Telluride, explains how Hamnet became such a sensation there while Richard, a veteran of the Venice Film Festival, explains why Jay Kelly may have met such a muted response there. They also indulge in a bit of nostalgia for their old podcast now that all three of them have left it— but we guarantee there are even bigger things ahead.
