Show Notes

With the first big fall festivals wrapped up and more heading our way soon, Nick and Sophia are back to recap all of the good, bad, and the ugly out of Venice, Telluride, and TIFF. Joining them is returning guest, Bennett Prosser, to share his experiences (and hold Nick accountable for all of his post-screening hot takes) from the second week of the 79th Venice Film Festival. Listen for spoiler-free reactions to some of the festival’s buzzier films, including ‘The Whale,’ ‘The Banshees of Inisherin,’ ‘The Son,’ and ‘Blonde’ (15:39). Afterwards, they discuss if festival chatter can translate into actual awards buzz, especially in Best Actress (1:10:31).
