About this episode
This week, David, Rebecca, and Richard dive into the newly announced TIFF and Venice Film Festival lineups for clues on front-runners and sleepers in the Oscar season to come—as well as a few surprising omissions. The hosts also dig into the shocking cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show, and revisit Ari Aster’s Eddington after its muted opening weekend. Our next Little Gold Men book club read is Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell. We'll be discussing the novel and its upcoming film adaptation on our August 14 episode. We've also added one more book for this summer, the third most-popular in our listener survey: The Ballad of a Small Player by Rowan Joffé. We'll be discussing that one on our August 28 episode.
