Show Notes
It’s a big week for hot dogs and birds! Sophia and Nick start off another awards season chat by listing the New York critics prizes (NYFCC) and debate how these winners may shape other awards in the coming months. Then, they break down the year’s best melodrama and a career-defining acting showcase, May December (8:07). Todd Haynes tells his version of a real-life may december romance in a movie chock-full of memorable quotes and breathtaking images.
Afterwards, they try to articulate the majesty and layered brilliance of Hayao Miyazaki’s latest, The Boy and the Heron (51:23). See what they think about the film’s chances outside of the Animated Feature category.
Check out May December on Netflix now and The Boy and the Heron in theaters.
