Show Notes
And just like that we’re knee deep in another awards season. With the Gotham Awards nominations recently announced, Sophia and Nick go through the top nominees and some of their favorites before discussing how they feel about the Oscar host news update. Then onto some recently released films that have gotten the attention of critics and audiences alike. First is one of Netflix’s latest, 'All Quiet on the Western Front' (14:12). This worthy adaptation of the classic war novel proves a strong technical player and one with potential as Germany’s submission in International Feature.
Then onto Martin McDonagh’s meditative fable, 'The Banshees of Inisherin' (30:34). This already award-winning film has proved itself a strong contender as it continues to mystify and beguile audiences. Last but not least is another of Netflix’s grand players, 'Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths' (56:28). In Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s latest and most personal epic, he contemplates life, death, and the beyond. Check local listings for showtimes before its streaming release on December 15th.
