In front of a live audience at the TIFF Industry conference, I was joined onstage by Joel Edgerton, the star and executive producer of the lyrical new Netflix film Train Dreams . We talked about that gorgeous movie but also so much more, from how he and his brother Nash started making movies together at home in Australia to what it felt like to be a "stowaway" on a Star Wars set early in his career to what he's learned from working for Kathryn Bigelow, Baz Luhrmann, Barry Jenkins and many more directing luminaries. Though he may be most famous as an actor, Joel frequently works as a writer, director and producer, continuing to collaborate with his friends from his early days in Australia and even his brother — five days before our conversation, Nash was on set as his brother's stunt double.

Tyler Coates joins Katey and Christopher Rosen to look at the slates for three indie labels owned by studios that all hope to stake their claim in this year's awards race. Searchlight Pictures, the only one of the three to ever win best picture, is hoping to win hearts with Rental Family , while Focus Features is going heavy on auteurs with Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia and Chloe Zhao's Hamnet. Meanwhile Sony Pictures Classics has a tried-and-true formula for getting their films in front of voters, and have a heavy historical drama, Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut, and much more. The episode also includes Katey's conversation with Stephen Graham about his labor of love turned worldwide phenomenon, Adolescence . He calls the experience of making the show like working with a theater troupe, and talks about how he built the confidence to build the series around a series of astonishing single-takes, and why he thinks the show has hit such a nerve since it debuted on Netflix earlier this year.
