About this episode
The 60th New York Film Festival has just finished another thought-provoking run of award-worthy films and Sophia and Nick can’t wait to share their reviews on all the movies they saw. They cover everything from some of A24’s slate (Aftersun, The Eternal Daughter, Showing Up, and Stars at Noon) to films already or soon-to-be released in theaters (Armageddon Time, Decision to Leave, Till, and Triangle of Sadness), Sony Pictures Classics’ One Fine Morning, Netflix’s White Noise, and others they’ll cover later in the season (Bones and All, She Said, and Women Talking). Next, a full review on Todd Field’s transcendent return and centerpiece on Cate Blanchett’s masterclass performance as Lydia Tar in TÀR. By breaking down the EGOT-winning and brilliant conductor-composer’s psyche, they begin to analyze her darkest secrets and motivations in a world she can’t control. Finally, stay for their discussion about the film’s awards potential and how many nominations they foresee for this current release in theaters (55:37).
