The Rolling Tape: Recent Episodes
The Rolling Tape
The Rolling Tape podcast is a TRT production covering weekly film reviews, industry updates, and awards season news.
You know what's more romantic than living under an authoritarian government where you can only have sex for one night of the year? Finding your true love for life. Time to nut up for Will Gluck's One Night Only, starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner.
Written by Travis Braun and based on his Black List script. The film follows two hapless romantics, Monica Barbaro's Allie, a hopeful romantic looking for something more, and Callum Turner's Owen, a recently dumped hopeless romantic.
They happen to be two aimless singles navigating the one night of the year when premarital sex is legal in their society. As the night stretches on, what begins as a quest for a hookup turns into a series of awkward encounters, side quests, and run-ins with a society built around enforcing the government's strict rules on sex. Allie and Owen eventually realize that what they really want is each other, and that maybe they don't need to take advantage of the twelve-hour window at all. They can wait until the next morning, or, if necessary, the other 364 days of the year.
Love and fascism are in the air, and to help me celebrate our new puritanical reality, we're going to take a look at One Night Only and some of the greatest romantic-comedy couples in cinema history. We review the latest dystopian romantic comedy and rank some of cinema's best romantic-comedy couples.

While it didn’t debut at Fantasia Fest (that honor belongs to SXSW this year), A Safe Distance also played at the Montreal-based festival. An eighty-five-minute thriller, A Safe Distance follows Alex (Bethany Brown) as she goes camping with her long-time partner in the forest of Canada. Shortly into their stay, Joey (Chris McNally) pops the question to Alex. She says no. And, well, things don’t go as expected after that.
The Rolling Tape's Ethan Simmie was joined by Director Gloria Mercer and cast members Tandia Mercedes and Bethany Brown to discuss making a film that “is about contemporary relationships, toxic masculinity,” and being in a relationship “where it feels like you are not being true to yourself”.
A Safe Distance has currently has distribution secured for the US and Canada but does not have an official release date.

It's the opening weekend of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but I don't think we can conclusively say it'll be part of this upcoming awards conversation—outside of a potential Best Visual Effects nomination. So instead of focusing on that amid the hundreds of millions of dollars being made by The Odyssey and Spider-Man, there's a much smaller film quietly holding its own at the box office, The Invite, directed by and co-starring Olivia Wilde, alongside Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, and Penélope Cruz.
A24 acquired the film of the Sundance Film Festival for more than $12 million, and it has quietly become one of the studio's biggest success stories of the year. It's now approaching $40 million worldwide, including roughly $20 million domestically and nearly $16 million internationally. Critically, the film has been a standout as well, earning a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, an 82 on Metacritic, and a 4.0 average on Letterboxd.
Its performance is starting to resemble another Sundance acquisition from A24: Past Lives, which went on to earn Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay nominations at the 96th Academy Awards.
So, today we discuss The Invite's Oscar chances, as well as A24's broader awards strategy this year. With a slate that includes Club Kid, Primetime, and The Debut, could the studio once again land multiple Best Picturenominees once again?
We also discuss films like The Invite and Past Lives more broadly—movies that live on the fringe of the Best Picture race and ultimately sneak into the lineup thanks to widespread passion and strong overall support from Academy voters. We rank 17 of our favorite (or not so favorite) fringe Best Picture nominees that fit that mold.

It’s episode 200 of our weekly Monday show, and what better way to celebrate than with the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the fourth film in the MCU Spider-Man film series. It's also National Spider-Man Day which is celebrated annually on August 1st. The date marks the anniversary of the character's first comic book appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15, published in August 1962 by Marvel Comics creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Tom Holland stars as Peter Parker and Spider-Man, alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Liza Colón-Zayas, Jon Bernthal, Florence Pugh, Tramell Tillman, Marisa Tomei, and Mark Ruffalo.
We review Destin Daniel Cretton’s entry to the Tom Holland era of Spider-Man, discuss recent MCU news out of San Diego Comic-Con, and turn the tables on our weekly mini-game where I’ll be posed with questions and trivia regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

We celebrate the 20th anniversary of She’s The Man by breaking down the film and “women in sports” movies. We also give some of our favorite recs from the genre and look at the progression of sports films over the past two decades.
She’s The Man, loosely based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, stars Amanda Bynes as Viola Hastings, a high school soccer player who disguises herself as her twin brother, Sebastian, to play on the boys' soccer team at a rival boarding school, after her own school cuts the girls' team. The film also stars Channing Tatum and Laura Ramsey.

In a barren post-apocalyptic world with no humans, a barter system of sunflowers for scrap parts, and robots, Zap is very lonely. In his scavenging one day, he finds the broken body of another robot. His curiosity gets the better of him, and he takes this robot home, in hopes of reviving it. As we follow Zap on his journey, the theme of Sunspark remains ever clear: how far are you willing to go to help a complete stranger?
It’s a theme that director Danny Bourque discusses as he joins The Rolling Tape to talk about the new 4K animated short. He divulged his creative process, his excitement for the screening at Fantasia Film Festival 2026, and even some insight into how he created the robot noises. Bourque also discusses his experience as a solo and independent filmmaker. He is a Slamdance Anarchy Award Winner, Regional Student Academy Award Finalist, and has done professional work with Hasbro's Star Wars and Transformers IP.
Sunspark had its Canadian Premiere at Fantasia on July 18, with a subsequent screening on July 19.

The lineup for the 83rd Venice International Film Festival was announced on Thursday, July 23, coming on the heels of the first wave of announcements from the Toronto International Film Festival. That means we're officially entering fall festival season, the multi-week stretch in late August and September where many of the biggest contenders for the 99th Academy Awards will make their world premieres and begin their awards campaigns.
Acclaimed actress and filmmaker Maggie Gyllenhaal will serve as Jury President for this year's Main Competition. Joining her on the jury are composer Daniel Blumberg, filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania, whose documentary The Voice of Hind Rajab won the Grand Jury Prize at Venice last year, Hong Kong filmmaker Johnnie To, Italian film theorist Francesco Casetti, and several other internationally acclaimed artists.
The reaction to this year's lineup has been somewhat mixed. Many critics and industry observers expressed disappointment that several heavily rumored titles ultimately didn't make the cut. The competition lineup has also drawn criticism for its lack of representation, featuring just one film directed by a woman, Danish filmmaker May el-Toukhy's Woman Unknown.
We break down what this all means before our host of The Awards Tape, Paul Rai, ships off to Venice next month!

We're going channel surfing for round 2!
If you missed our last Channel Surfing episode, instead of spending an hour diving deep into a single series, we bounce around the television landscape and talk about the shows we haven't had a chance to cover on the main show, along with the hidden gems we think deserve a little more attention.
Hopefully, we'll give all of you (and ourselves) a few new additions to your watchlists. If you missed the first one, this is just a chance for us to hang out and talk about TV, which is one of the best parts of being a TV fan, recommending shows to your friends and catching up on everything everyone's been watching.
So we're excited to bring back this little show-within-a-show that we do here on The Rolling Remote and finally shine a spotlight on some of the series that have slipped through the cracks.

Christopher Nolan please exit stage left, this episode is for the freaks.
It's time to get wild, Olivia Wilde that is! With her third directorial feature, The Invite, in theaters as of last week, and an upcoming leading role in Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sexset to go into wide release next week, we discuss her career building up to this moment.
In her directorial effort, The Invite, Joe and Angela's marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. This is of course paired with Gregg Araki’s Olivia Wilde led feature where Elliot lands a job for Erika Tracy as her sexual muse. The Invite is written by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones as an English-language remake of the 2020 Spanish film The People Upstairs (Sentimental) by Cesc Gay and stars Seth Rogen, Wilde, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton.
I Want Your Sex is directed by Gregg Araki and written by Karley Sciortino and Araki. It stars Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman, Mason Gooding, Chase Sui Wonders, Johnny Knoxville, Margaret Cho, Roxane Mesquida, Charli XCX, and Daveed Diggs.
We discuss both films and the state of the actress-director’s career before playing a guess the Letterboxd review mini-game.

Heartstopper Foreveris a new Netflix film that concludes the three-season TV series Heartstopper, which was adapted from Alice Oseman's graphic novels. Set in the UK, the story follows a gay high school romance and the friendships that surround it. We're joined by Todd Downing, editor of the film, to discuss bringing the beloved coming-of-age romance to its emotional conclusion.
Todd shares what it was like collaborating closely with creator Alice Oseman to preserve the characters fans have grown to love, how transitioning from a three-season series to a feature film created new opportunities for emotional depth and visual storytelling, and why subtle character moments are so essential to the film's impact. In conversation with Risa Bolash, they discuss everything from exploring authentic queer representation to the lasting legacy of Heartstopper as one of the defining LGBTQ+ coming-of-age stories of its generation.

We read it. We watched it. It’s time for the receipts. For this month’s Read Receipts, we are going on an Odyssey. Or should we say a Pod-yssey? Welcome back to your favorite podcast for readers and watchers alike. If you’re new here, this is Read Receipts: A Big Screen Book Club from The Rolling Tape.
Every month, we read a book, watch its onscreen adaptation, then share our receipts. I am your Read Receipts host Kasey Dunifer. And this month we read none other than The Odyssey, the epic poem from Ancient Greece attributed to Homer, dating back to 8th century BC, and is widely considered one of the oldest surviving works of literature. First derived from generations of oral tradition. We then of course watched the new film adaptation, which everyone is talking about, including all of us here at the Rolling Tape. We watched Christopher Nolan’s 2026 The Odyssey. Starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, alongside a very star-studded cast.

Ten years on this fucking podcast. Let's go home! Today, our destiny comes to a close. We add The Odysseyto our collaborative rankings that we've been building for weeks. Call it the Trojan horse of RETRO//RANKED, but where will it end up?
RETRO//RANKED is a Rolling Tape network series ranking the individual entries of beloved franchises and filmographies, timed to major new releases. For season 7, we're diving into the complete filmography of Christopher Nolan, building episode by episode, two films at a time, toward the release of his latest film, The Odyssey.
The Odyssey is the 13th film from Christopher Nolan. He wrote and directed the film, which is of course based on Homer’s epic poem. It was released on July 17, 2026. Nolan has long been a prominent filmmaker in advancing the use of IMAX technology in mainstream cinema, beginning with The Dark Knight in 2008. For this film, Nolan challenged IMAX to develop new 70 mm film cameras that are lighter and up to 30% quieter than the previous standard. In response, IMAX provided new cameras that met the requirements, and Nolan is the first person to use them, shooting the entire film with them from start to finish.
Enjoy all VIDEO episodes of SEASON 7 one week ahead of their public audio-only release.

- Oppenheimer
- The Dark Knight
- Interstellar
- The Prestige
- Inception
- Tenet
- Memento

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is quite possibly the most anticipated film of the year. It marks Nolan's first feature since Oppenheimer, which won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, along with Actor, Supporting Actor, Film Editing, Cinematography, and Original Score. The film grossed more than $970 million worldwide, and in the wake of that success, Nolan was essentially handed a $250 million blank check to bring to life the passion project he's been developing for more than two decades: an old-school Hollywood epic adapting one of the most celebrated and enduring works of literature in human history.
The Odyssey is currently tracking for a global opening weekend approaching $250 million, including approximately $125 million domestically. At the time of this recording, the film holds a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, an 89 on Metacritic, and a 4.3 average rating on Letterboxd.
Our team has already released a full review of the film on The Rolling Tape, but here on The Awards Tape, we break down The Odyssey's Oscar prospects, starting with our overall impressions before diving into category-by-category predictions. Then, we'll wrap things up with a conversation on Christopher Nolan's past awards success.

Call it our (p)odyssey weekend here at The Rolling Tape as we’ll have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR podcasts across our network of shows discussing Christopher Nolan’s 13th feature film in various capacities.
The Odyssey is, of course, written and directed by Christopher Nolan. We have taken the long journey home to our closest IMAX theaters to see the film. An adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic poem, Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, the Greek king of Ithaca, and it chronicles his long and perilous journey home after the Trojan War and his encounters with mythical beings as he attempts to reunite with his wife, Penelope, portrayed by Anne Hathaway. The ensemble cast includes Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. Universal released the film in wide theatrical exhibition this weekend July 17.
We review the film and play a mini-game attempting to guess the the order and percentages of Christopher Nolan's filmography on Rotten Tomatoes.
For more discussion on The Odyssey, our upcoming shows include:
- The Awards Tape: The Odyssey Awards Assessment
- Read Receipts: The Odyssey (comparing the epic poem to the movie)
- RETRO//RANKED: The Odyssey & Season 8 Announcement (placing the film in our current collaborative ranking list)

The Summer 2026 Box Office Draft returns. This is our check-in episode. We kicked off the second annual edition of our Summer Box Office Draft back in May around Memorial Day, taking a deep dive into the entire summer release schedule. Each of us made our predictions for the top 10 highest-grossing films of the summer and estimated how much each would earn at the box office.
Today, we're checking in to see how those predictions are holding up. We take a look at the current top 10 based on the films that have already been released, discuss how the rankings could still change with several major releases arriving over the next few weeks, and revisit some of the movies we didn't spend much time on in our original draft. In particular, we talk about a few August releases that could still have the potential to shake up the summer box office.

THE LAST PRE-ODYSSEY EPISODE IS HERE.
Don’t try to understand the ranking you hear on this podcast today. Feel it.
RETRO//RANKED is a Rolling Tape network series ranking the individual entries of beloved franchises and filmographies, timed to major new releases. For season 7, we're diving into the complete filmography of Christopher Nolan, building episode by episode, two films at a time, toward the release of his latest film, The Odyssey.
Tenet is the eleventh movie from Christopher Nolan. He served as both writer and director on the project. It was released on September 3, 2020, amid peak COVID times. It was originally slated to release on July 17, but repeatedly got delayed due to theatres being shuttered amid the pandemic.
Oppenheimer is Nolan’s twelfth film. It was released on a day that will be forever remembered as Barbenheimer day, July 21, 2023, amid the strikes of the actors and writers guilds. Nolan wrote the script, which he based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography American Prometheus.

We're bringing you somewhere we've never been before: the world of reality television. Here on The Rolling Remote, we've covered just about every kind of show imaginable from medical dramas, science fiction, fantasy to vampires, medieval knights, and post-high school drug mules to Mexico, but somehow we've never ventured into the corner of television that can completely take over pop culture like almost nothing else.
Today, we're diving into the recently finished Love Island USA Season 8, hosted by Ariana Madix and streaming on Peacock. The series follows a group of Islanders living together in a villa in Fiji as they couple up, recouple, survive Casa Amor, navigate public votes, welcome bombshells, endure Movie Night, and deal with plenty of other chaos, all in the hopes of making it to the end with a genuine connection. The winning couple walks away with a $100,000 prize.
This season became the biggest original entertainment launch in Peacock's history. Viewership continued to grow throughout its six-week run, making it one of the platform's biggest breakout successes to date.
We break down the final four couples, our feelings about the design of the show as a whole, and the most standout contestants that were dumped throughout the season.

The 78th Primetime Emmy Award nominations were announced on Wednesday, July 8, with major acting and series categories revealed by Jeff Hiller and Emmy winner Liza Colón-Zayas. Hiller earned an Emmy nomination last year for Somebody Somewhere, while Colón-Zayas won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for The Bear.
Among the biggest takeaways, The Pitt led all programs with 25 nominations for its second season. Hacks followed closely with a record-breaking 24 nominations, setting a new high for a comedy series by surpassing the 23 nominations earned by The Studio and the second season of The Bear last year. Apple TV+'s breakout horror comedy Widow's Bay also made a major splash, earning 19 nominations despite its final three episodes falling outside the Emmy eligibility window.
By network, HBO Max led the field with 122 nominations, followed by Netflix with 111. Apple enjoyed its strongest Emmy performance to date with 89 nominations, fueled by breakout series including Widow's Bay, Pluribus, and Shrinking.
We break down all the nominations and how our predictions stood up against the results.

This week we are locating the Kandarian Dagger...
Evil Dead Burn is the third standalone entry, after Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise (2023), and the the sixth installment in the "Evil Dead" franchise as a whole. It was originally slated to be released wide in theaters on July 24, but was moved up two weeks to July 10.
The film is directed and co-written by Sébastien Vaniček, and produced by Rob Tapert and series creator Sam Raimi. It stars Souheila Yacoub as a young woman who seeks solace with her in-laws following the death of her husband, as the family comes together in a secluded house. The gathering becomes a “family reunion from hell” as members gradually turn into Deadites. It also stars Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, Erroll Shand, and Maude Davey in supporting roles.
We review the film and discuss the franchise overall.

Night Nurse, the feature directorial debut of writer-director Georgia Bernstein, premiered earlier this year in the NEXT section of the Sundance Film Festival, and it arrives in theaters July 10 as, in Bernstein's own words, "an erotic thriller which takes place in a retirement community."
In joining The Rolling Tape for a conversation on the film, Bernstein describes how the film originated from the experience of her own grandmother nearly being scammed over the phone. We also discuss how she and her team developed the ambiguous suburban setting, the casting choices for the primary characters of Eleni and Douglas, and her collaborators on the cinematography and score that help shape the unnerving tone of the film.

First off, we want to apologize in advance to Matt Damon. We were going to include him on this episode as a surprise guest, but went through the run of show and he decided he had to spend time with Ben Affleck instead.

We are in July now. It is Odyssey month. It’s right there in the distance, we can almost touch it.
Interstellar is Christopher Nolan’s ninth film. It was released on October 26, 2014, interestingly not in July. Steven Spielberg, who was attached to direct this movie in 2006, hired Jonathan Nolan to write the screenplay, but chose other projects to direct instead. This is the first movie Nolan worked with Hoyte van Hoytema as Director of Photography. Van Hoytema has gone on as the Cinematographer for all of Nolan’s forthcoming movies, including The Odyssey.
Dunkirk is Nolan’s tenth movie. It was released on July 21, 2017. After first-hand accounts of the Dunkirk evacuation revealed to the writer, producer, and director how young and inexperienced the soldiers were, he decided to cast young and unknown actors for the beach setting. This of course included a small, unknown indie artist making his way in the pop music scene, Harry Styles.
Enjoy all VIDEO episodes of SEASON 7 one week ahead of their public audio-only release.

Leviticus, directed by Adrian Chiarella, is an Australian queer horror film that has resonated with audiences through its blend of horror, coming-of-age drama, and tender romance. While much of the conversation has centered on its emotional story and breakout performances, the film's visual language is equally vital to its impact.
In this exclusive interview, Leviticus costume designer Zohie Castellano discusses crafting the film’s haunting Australian gothic aesthetic and using costume to reflect the emotional journeys of Stacy Clausen’s Ryan and Joe Bird’s Naim. Castellano breaks down the symbolism behind the film’s colour palette, recurring motifs, and character wardrobes, revealing how every detail was designed to support themes of yearning, identity, and self-acceptance. We also explore her collaboration with director Adrian Chiarella and how costume design helped bring one of 2026’s most talked-about queer horror films to life.
Leviticus is now playing in select theaters. You can read Kam’s essay on the film here.

What better way to celebrate 250 years of American history than by talking about the upcoming Emmy nominations? That's right. As of time of this recording, we were just four days away from the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations set to be announced Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at 11:30 A.M. EST, where we'll celebrate the best television has to offer from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026.
We have new shows, returning favorites, and series finales to discuss, so it's a packed episode as we deliver our final Emmy nomination predictions for the Drama Series, Comedy Series, and Limited Series categories, along with their respective lead, supporting, and guest acting races. Altogether, that's sixteen acting categories.
Throughout our discussion, we also work in our writing and directing predictions for each section to help strengthen our arguments for each show's overall performance. It's a lot of ground to cover, especially since this is our very first Emmy predictions episode, so we brought in a couple of TV gurus to help navigate this awards-season terrain.

We are here to tell you where the minions were between 1939 and 1945...
Minions & Monsters is directed by Pierre Coffin and written by Coffin and Brian Lynch. Produced by Illumination, it is the third installment in the Minions prequel series and the seventh installment overall in the Despicable Me franchise. Taking place in 1927, 41 years before the events of Minions (2015), the film follows the Minions as they aim to make a monster movie of their own in Old Hollywood. The film stars director Pierre Coffin as the Minions, alongside Trey Parker, Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeff Bridges, Zoey Deutch, Bobby Moynihan, and Phil LaMarr.
We will review the film before discussing the best of the first half of 2026 and previewing our most anticipated titles yet to come.

We’re going to podcast about Inception and The Dark Knight Rises. When the conversation is done, and the recording is finished processing, then you have my permission to die.
RETRO//RANKED is a Rolling Tape network series ranking the individual entries of beloved franchises and filmographies, timed to major new releases. For season 7, we're diving into the complete filmography of Christopher Nolan, building episode by episode, two films at a time, toward the release of his latest film, The Odyssey.
Inception is Christopher Nolan’s seventh movie. It was released on July 13, 2010. For better or worse, Nolan is credited as the sole writer of the film. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Nolan explained that he based the roles of the Inception team similar to roles that are used in filmmaking. Cobb is the director, Arthur is the producer, Ariadne is the production designer, Eames is the actor, Saito is the studio, and Fischer is the audience.
The Dark Knight Rises is Nolan’s eighth movie. Like the previous film in the trilogy, it was co-written by Christopher Nolan, alongside his brother Jonathan Nolan off a story by Chris Nolan and David S. Goyer. The film released on July 20, 2012, four years and two days after The Dark Knight. The wait must have been excrutiating.
Enjoy all VIDEO episodes of SEASON 7 one week ahead of their public audio-only release.

It's been a full six months into 2026, and quite a lot has happened. The Sundance, Berlin, and Cannes Film Festivals have come and gone. Greta Gerwig's Narnia has been moved to 2027. Luca Guadagnino's Artificial has been pushed to 2027, dropped by Amazon MGM, and acquired by NEON to go back into the 2026 slate. Michael has surpassed Oppenheimer as the highest grossing biopic of all time, and Obsession is the cultural box office phenomenon of the year.
That means it's time for an Oscar Pulse check.
Before Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is out in three weeks, we decided to do an episode where we check in on how we feel about the upcoming Oscar race for 2027. We give our updated predictions for the above the line categories, which include the four acting categories, Best Director, and Best Picture lineups. We discuss how they've changed, how they reflect the current mood of the overall race, and our overall gut check level on how we feel about the awards season so far.

With the second film in the rebooted DCU now in wide release to pair with last year's Superman, we analyze the recent Supergirl movie, exploring its marketing, storytelling choices, and representation of female superheroes. With the film currently sitting at around 54% on Rotten Tomatoes, the reactions have been mixed. We discuss broader trends in superhero films, particularly with female superheroes, gender dynamics, and industry failures when marketing toward female audiences.

Supergirl is the second film in the DCU created by James Gunn and Peter Safran, following Superman from 2025. Clayface will follow this year as the third entry of "Chapter One: Gods and Monsters" in the soft reboot of the DCEU which featured 16 films between 2013 and 2023.
Supergirl follows Kara Zor-El who joins forces with an unlikely companion on an interstellar journey of vengeance and justice when an unexpected adversary strikes too close to home. The film is directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Ana Nogueira and stars Milly Alcock as the titular Supergirl, alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet, and Jason Momoa.
We review the film before doing a blind ranking of 25 randomized DC movies.

In our continued conversation on Queer cinema for Pride, we look toward POC and International Cinema, two topics that often get left out of the Western canon. POC and International Queer cinema provides a platform to explore diverse identities and experiences, often absent from the dominant Western narrative with examples dating back to 1919. These films challenge stereotypes, broaden perspectives, and invite audiences into the lives of those who have often been sidelined. Understanding these narratives is crucial to appreciating the complexity of Queer experiences worldwide.
We explore these stories and why they matter, with a Letterboxd list capturing the films we discuss.

Now, are you watching closely? Let’s begin with today’s films.
RETRO//RANKED is a Rolling Tape network series ranking the individual entries of beloved franchises and filmographies, timed to major new releases.

The Prestige is Christopher Nolan’s fifth movie. It was released on October 20, 2006. This is a film that was once again co-written by Nolan and his brother Jonathan Nolan. The movie’s editing includes one hundred forty-six time jump cuts, in which the next shot either flashes back or skips ahead to another time period of the storyline.
The Dark Knight is Nolan’s sixth movie. It was co-written again by the Nolan brothers off a story by Chris Nolan and David S. Goyer. The film released on July 18, 2008. It was the first movie in his filmography to be released in that coveted July release spot.

With the release of Toy Story 5 (and its estimated $160 million+ opening weekend box office), we're focusing on examining a specific category in the 2027 Oscars race that perhaps has gone through the most interesting evolution over its 25 year history: the Best Animated Feature category.
Here we discuss how we feel about the category itself, the animated race that's shaping up this year for the 99th Academy Awards, and what animated films we've seen so far this year and are looking forward to in the near future.
We cap off with a ranking of all 25 Animated Feature Oscar winners going back to Shrek in 2002. Check out our Letterboxd list of the full rankings here.
Some of these titles were reviewed by Nandita Joshi at Cannes here.

This is Read Receipts: A Big Screen Book Club where the pronunciations don’t matter! Every month over here at The Rolling Tape, we read a book, watch its onscreen adaptation, then share our receipts with our Read Receipts host Kasey Dunifer – or should I say Dune-ifer?
Because this month, for DUNE JUNE, we read none other than Frank Herbert’s 1965 seminal science-fiction novel DUNE. Additionally, we watched the first two installments in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune Trilogy: DUNE: PART ONE from 2021 and DUNE: PART TWO from 2024. This is in preparation for the final installment, DUNE, you guessed it, PART THREE, coming out later this year, adapting DUNE MESSIAH. This is a little something different for Read Receipts. It’s a Throwback adaptation and covering TWO films AND a kind of big book.
So Happy Dune June, everyone! Thanks for joining.

How many hours has it been since you've been scrolling on your phone or tablet? Did you forget that the toys you once played with are now collecting dust and feeling neglected? It's one of the pressing themes we'll discuss with today's review of Toy Story 5, the 31st feature-length film from Pixar Animation released by Disney on June 19th. It's been seven years since we've hung out with the Toy Story gang since Toy Story 4. Toy Story 5 is co-written and co-directed by Andrew Stanton and McKenna Harris.
We review Pixar's latest in their most successful franchise ever before ranking every single movie in Pixar's catalog.
Today you've got a friend in us as we regroup with Woody, Buzz, and Jesse and more with our discussion of Toy Story 5. The film is described as follows: when Bonnie receives a Lilypad tablet to start making connections with friends in the real world, her screen time obsession makes playtime with her toys exponentially harder, as Jesse, Buzz, and Woody have to go head-to-head with the biggest threat to toys and their connections to children. The film stars Joan Cusack, Tim Allen, Tom Hanks, Greta Lee, and Conan O'Brien.

Steven Spielberg — you know the name. He's one of our greatest living filmmakers on the planet. The man has created cinematic classics and enduring masterpieces that have and will stand the test of time. Yet early on in his career, he had a fascinating relationship with the Academy Awards, starting with his infamous home video in which he sarcastically reacts to not receiving a Best Director nomination for Jaws during the announcement of the 48th Academy Award nominations. "I got beaten out by Fellini," he joked.
This rocky relationship continued even as he made blockbusters and heartfelt dramas all the way up until he won Best Director and Best Picture for Schindler's List at the 1994 ceremony.
Spielberg's filmography has amassed dozens of nominations above and below the line over the past 50 years. So with the release of his 35th directorial effort, Disclosure Day, we decided to do something massive in scale: a Steven Spielberg Awards Draft, where each of us will competitively draft Oscar nominations and wins from Steven Spielberg films that have been recognized by the Academy.
We close the episode with a discussion of the awards potential for Disclosure Day at next year's Academy Awards.

Christian Sprenger has spent eighteen years in television, but his collaboration with director Hiro Murai is in a category of its own. Together they have built a creative language across more than fifty episodes of television, from Atlanta to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and now to Widow's Bay, the Apple TV+ comedy horror series created by Katie Dippold that has become one of the most talked-about shows of 2026. On Widow's Bay, Sprenger serves not only as cinematographer alongside co-DP Cody Jacobs, but also as a producer, a role he first stepped into during season three of Atlanta.
Danny Jarabek spoke with Sprenger about the camera techniques he used to straddle the genre line between horror and comedy, the excitement of working with Ti West as the director of Episode 6, and how the colorist team reverse-engineered the filmic look of the show to give it the nostalgic, pre-digital feeling.

If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? That is one of many questions we approach today while discussing Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day which has been theatrically released by Universal as of June 11. We’ve been in eager anticipation of the film which is directed by Spielberg and written by David Koepp since April of 2024 when news first hit that Spielberg’s next film would be a UFO movie.
The world stands poised on the brink of World War III, cybersecurity specialist Daniel Kellner steals a piece of extraterrestrial technology and related files detailing various events of human-alien contact dating back to the Roswell incident from the Wardex Corporation, a secret arm of the U.S. government. The film stars Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo.
We review the newest sci-fi addition to his legendary catalog and tier rank his entire filmography.

Following the North American premiere of Just Look Up at the Tribeca Festival, Jeremy Strong moderated a panel discussion with journalist and author David Wallace-Wells (“The Uninhabitable Earth”), psychologist and Climate Emergency Fund Board Chair Margaret Klein Salamon, Climate Defiance Founder Michael Greenberg, and Climate Defiance activist Cheyenne. What followed was a conversation about the state of climate activism under the second Trump administration, the gap between public alarm and political action, and what it means to act in proportion to the scale of an emergency.
The film had its North American Premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 11, with additional screenings on June 12, 13, and 14. Danny Jarabek was in attendance at the premiere to record the panel.

Happy Pride! We are back with year two of our Pride Mini-series, celebrating Queer artists in Film and Media. After tracking the progression of Queer Cinema last year, the team is back to discuss various topics and give you new recommendations in this four-part series.
This week, the team discusses ‘Queer Bending,’ inspired by Hedda (2025), and what it means to tell a known story from a Queer perspective. They also break down ‘Queer Baiting’ and what that means in 2026. On top of it all, they give their recs, hot takes, and rants as we dive deeper into Queer media and history.

In his debut feature documentary, Director Eddie Sánchez paints a vulnerable portrait of his family and their experience as immigrants in the U.S. Mexicanamerican introduces us to his parents, Lalo and Beby Sánchez who, like many immigrants and refugees, came to the U.S. in hope of opportunity and a better future. Sánchez joins The Rolling Tape to discuss his experience creating this independent documentary, his relationship to his family, and how the film acts as a love letter to his parents and a reclamation of his Mexican heritage.
The film employs a mix of Lalo’s VHS home movies that he would send to family back in Mexico to act as life updates, and contemporary interviews shot by Eddie with Lalo and Beby about their lives. Mexicanamerican is Eddie’s aim to analog and digital bridge to connect with his parents in a new way – cultivating his very own home movie.
The film had its World Premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 9, with additional screenings on June 10, and June 14.

We tried to get Guy Pearce on the phone to see if he’d like to appear on today’s episode. He said he was game, but when we called back to give him a rundown of everything, he acted like he had no memory of our conversation and no idea who I was. Very unprofessional.
RETRO//RANKED is a Rolling Tape network series ranking the individual entries of beloved franchises and filmographies, timed to major new releases.
Today marks the beginning of what might be our biggest season yet, and for once, we actually mean it. We're diving into the complete filmography of Christopher Nolan, building episode by episode, two films at a time, toward the release of his latest film, The Odyssey.
This premiere episode kicks things off with Followingand Memento, which means we'll be debating non-linear storytelling, the finer points of anterograde amnesia, and whether you'd drink the beer that Carrie-Anne Moss spits into in that diner scene. No wrong answers.
Joining host Evan Miller for the occasion is a RETRO//RANKED first: the show's debut guest, Derrick Murray.
Enjoy all VIDEO episodes of SEASON 7 one week ahead of their public audio-only release exclusively on Patreon.

Consider this a first for The Awards Tape as we decided to backtrack and provide an update on a little movie you may have heard of called Obsession. Yes, the $750,000 micro-budgeted horror film has taken over the box office as after three weeks in wide release, it's accumulated over $170 million worldwide, becoming the first film from Focus Features to cross $100 million in the North American box office. It's the first film since E.T. to see its box office increase in its second and third consecutive weekends, even facing stiff competition from horror-adjacent films like Backrooms and blockbusters like The Mandalorian and Grogu. It currently sits at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, 77% on Metacritic, and 4.2 on Letterboxd.
Obsession has made Curry Barker the most in-demand director in Hollywood and has launched the stardom of Inde Navarette who is at the center of the conversation of whether the film is in serious position to reap awards glory.
So today we are asking, how can Obsession accomplish that? What are the most direct comparisons when it comes to horror films and the Oscars? And what is the history when it comes to the Academy Awards and the horror genre?
We are joined by guest and horror/awards season YouTuber Savanna Dawn to break it all down!

Meet Famous Eddie Plein – the biggest fashion icon you never heard of. Eddie was the visionary behind grillz, the culture-changing dental jewelry that came to dominate the zeitgeist — celebrities, rappers, athletes, models, anyone who is anybody wears grillz. In his feature documentary, Mouth Full of Golds, Lyle Lindgren showcases the rise and fall of Famous Eddie’s Gold Teeth and the players surrounding grillz. The documentary expertly utilizes archival footage interpolated with modern interviews and reenactments to envisage this history. Mouth Full of Golds stars Famous Eddie Plein, Goldie, Mike Tyson, A$AP Rocky, Dolly Cohen, Michèle Lamy, Ferg, and more. For Lindgren, the film is a testament to independent filmmakers and a love letter to grillz and grillz culture.
Lindgren joins The Rolling Tape to discuss his lifelong fascination with grillz, how he became friend and collaborator to famous British Rapper Goldie, his journey as an independent filmmaker, and his experience rummaging through the archives for footage.

Today we are officially closing the book on one of the biggest, most talked about, and complicated television shows of the last decade, HBO's Euphoria. Over the last few months, we've gone all the way back to Season One, revisited Season Two, and finally caught up with the third and final season of the series. Created by Sam Levinson and starring Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Colman Domingo, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow, Euphoria started in 2019 as a coming-of-age drama about addiction, identity and friendship, and growing up in an increasingly overwhelming digital world.
Six years later, after delays and controversy, cast changes, and just about anything you can expect from a television show, Season Three returned with a completely different version of the show. A five-year time jump, characters way out of high school, a bigger focus on crime and on faith, the consequences of their previous actions and adulthood. It has a new visual language, a new musical direction, and ultimately an ending that people are going to be talking about for a very long time.
Today we break down the final episodes of Season Three, where we leave Rue, Jules, Cassie, Maddie, Lexi, Nate, and everybody else, and finally answering the the big question that we've been trying to get to during all of this: did Euphoria stick the landing?

By the power of Grayskull, I unite fans of sword and sorcery, 1980s nostalgia, and homoerotic relationships between hero and villain because today we are discussing Masters of the Universe based on the media franchise by Mattel and the second live-action film adaptation after the 1987 film.
A new live-action film was announced in 2009 by Sony Pictures Entertainment. Following multiple writer, director and casting changes, the rights were transferred to Netflix in 2022 and then bought by Amazon MGM Studios in 2024 who delivered the film to theaters this weekend with director Travis Knight.
We’ll review the film and talk about Gen X nostalgia as it relates to box office success today.
Masters of the Universe, the franchise turned feature film, is directed by Travis Knight and written by Chris Butler, Aaron Nee, Adam Nee, and David Callaham. Nicholas Galitzine stars as Prince Adam / He-Man, alongside Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley, Kristen Wiig, Morena Baccarin, and Idris Elba. Its plot follows Prince Adam as he returns to his home planet, Eternia, to take his destiny as He-Man, and save his home from the evil forces of Skeletor.

We're launching a brand new episode format: a recurring spotlight series dedicated to celebrating singular women in film, their work, their lives, their legacies, and what they mean to us. There's no more fitting way to kick things off than with Agnès Varda, whose birthday was recently on May 30th. Happy birthday, Agnès!
Belgian-born French filmmaker Agnès Varda is widely known as the Godmother of the French New Wave, a movement she helped shape before it even had a name, influencing directors like Jean-Luc Godard and Alain Resnais. Her work blurs the line between documentary and narrative fiction, and throughout her career she returned again and again to themes of feminism, social marginalization, and personal memory.
She was also one half of what might be cinema's greatest power couple, married to French director Jacques Demy. The two were beloved figures who opened their home to generations of young filmmakers and artists.
Varda's accolades include the following:
- Honorary Palme d'Or, Cannes (2015)
- Golden Lion for Vagabond, Venice Film Festival (1985)
- Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature, Faces Places
- Honorary César Award (2001)
- Honorary Academy Award (2017), the first ever awarded to a female director

We are finally talking about the cult classic show, AMC's Interview With The Vampire. The AMC series first premiered in 2022 and is based on the beloved novels by Ann Rice. Over two seasons, it becomes one of the most acclaimed genre shows on television.
Thanks to standout performances from Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, and Asad Zaman, and an incredible supporting cast with the Vampire Lestat right around the corner. Today we are taking a step back to look at the first two seasons as a whole. What makes this adaptation work? Why has the fandom become so passionate? Who are our favorite characters? And where does the show go from here?
We have three vampire aficionados and two local TRT experts on the scene of Interview With The Vampire joining Jake, the hosts of Just Start the Tape podcast, Bobbi Miller and Kam Ryan.

If you're not careful and noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in this podcast, but fret not we don’t have moist carpet, mono-yellow walls or endless fluorescent lights. What we do have is a review of Kane Parsons’ breakout horror hit with A24, Backrooms, and a watchalong of the original video that inspired the film in 2022.
Backrooms is directed by Kane Parsons in his feature-length directorial debut and written by Will Soodik.

In the film, Clark, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, a furniture store owner, and Mary played by Renate Reinsve, his therapist, discover a dimension of seemingly endless liminal spaces accessed through the basement of the store. Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell also star.

It is time for our May READ RECEIPTS, a big screen book club from The Rolling Tape led by Kasey Dunifer! Every month, we read a book that’s been adapted for the screen, then we share our receipts.
So if you like movies, or books, or movies AND books, you’re in the right place — and welcome to the club!
Today we are talking about something a bit different. Instead of a film adaptation, it is a TV adaptation. We’re discussing MARGO’S GOT MONEY TROUBLES, the 2024 novel by Rufi Thorpe, which has recently been adapted into a series for Apple TV plus starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, and Nick Offerman and created by David E. Kelly.
We discuss everything from the fantastical and whimsical elements of the show including the costuming and intro sequence to the challenging circumstances Margo undergoes as a mother trying to make ends meet and get by with her unconventional family and friends.

The 79th Cannes Film Festival has come to an end, the Competition awards have been handed out, people have stood and clapped to their heart's content, and some of the most exciting films have debuted on the international scene.
It was a first for The Rolling Tape to be live on the ground at the Palais as our Co-Editor-in-Chief Danny Jarabek and our amazing contributor Nandita Joshi trekked to the festival and consumed cinema like no one else. A lot of sleepless nights, a lot of early morning battle royales for online film tickets, and lots of movies to discuss.
Now that they have returned, we provide a formal recap of the festival from what's it's like to be in Cannes to a detailed rundown of all the films we saw as a team.

The regional spring festivals around the country in late April and early May are a great check-in on a bucket of titles ranging from second screenings of Sundance and SXSW premieres from earlier in the year to undistributed titles from the previous year’s fall festival cycle.

Installed there by her lover, a wealthy Saudi prince, Souria lives in anticipation of his visits.

After her first two features, Relic and Apartment 7A, Natalie Erika James has cemented herself as a regular name to watch within the horror space. James is an Australian filmmaker, and Saccharine is not only her third feature film but also her second to have its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. James often centers her filmmaking in horror around the dread and atmosphere of environments rather than jump scares, making for some incredibly chilling sequences, but Saccharine combines both her strengths in the horror space alongside new elements of body horror and comedic filmmaking, which makes for arguably her most intriguing feature yet.
Joshua Mbonu sat down with the writer/director to discuss nearly everything surrounding her latest feature and where she thinks Saccharine will differentiate itself from other horror films that have tackled similar themes.

Today on The Rolling Remote, we are talking about the currently airing third season of Euphoria, HBO's phenomenon of a TV series created by Sam Levinson. Over the past few weeks, we've been revisiting seasons one and two of the show (you can listen to our recap episodes), and now we finally get to talk about a new season as it's unfolding in real time after years of delays and rumors, production discourse, and a lot of questions about what the series would even look like in a third season.
Season three picks up five years later and reconnects us with the whole gang, Rue, Jules, Nate, Cassie, Maddie, Lexi, and everyone in the rest of the Euphoria world in very different stages of their lives post-high school, in addition to a few new characters. This season has already sparked a lot of controversy online and conversation about things like time jumps, tonal changes, and sexual content.
Today we're breaking down episodes one through four so if you have not watched episodes one through four of season three of Euphoria, here is your spoiler warning.

It’s feeling humid. It’s feeling like summer is very nearly upon us. That of course, means it’s time for us to reconvene for our second annual summer box office draft. With the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2 this past weekend, the summer movie season is now in full swing. We are here today to try to predict where the box office will go and just have a fun time breaking down the slate and discussing which movies have each of us the most excited.
We discuss the chronological releases of movies on our radar between the first weekend of May and the end of August, but also each team member on the show has prepared a list of their predicted top ten box office earners of the summer, along with their predicted total worldwide gross.
Last year, our champion was Ethan Dayton, who won on the first iteration of our point system which was simply a point for the correct placement of a film in the top 10 box office earners of the summer, as well as a point for being within plus or minus $50 million of a film's total worldwide gross. This year we're significantly expanding the point system to add a lot more chaos and entertainment into the mix.
We’ll review everyone’s final lists and continue checking in throughout the summer to see who is on track for winning our draft by Labor Day in September.

In honor of The Devil Wears Prada 2, we’re hosting a special edition Awards Draft centered entirely on the incomparable Meryl Streep. Streep’s legacy is completely singular with a generations spanning career that emphasized her versatility as an actress going back to 1975.
For many of us, Streep is the gold standard for prestige performances, particularly in the kind of mid-budget adult dramas Hollywood rarely produces today. With a filmography approaching 65 roles, her impact is as expansive as it is enduring.
For this draft, we’re narrowing the field to her 21 Academy Award–nominated performances. Of those, Streep has won three Oscars: Best Supporting Actress for Kramer vs. Kramer, and Best Actress for Sophie’s Choice and The Iron Lady. Her three wins place her among an elite group of only eight actors, with only Katharine Hepburn surpassing that total at four.

Aaron Bartuska is a Drexel graduate, filmmaker, and current high school film teacher. His latest feature, These Are My Friends!, recently played at Philadelphia Film Society's SpringFest, which is especially meaningful for Aaron and the film, as it was shot and produced locally in Philly. The film is a single-night comedy that follows various mid-twenties drifters over the course of one party.
Co-Writer and Director Aaron Bartuska joins us to discuss the production process, which mostly took place four years ago across multiple weekends during the COVID pandemic. He is also in the midst of releasing a loose trilogy of films all created in the Philadelphia area, with The Yardley Boys available now and Everyone's Here coming later this year.

RETRO//RECAP is a spin-off series from RETRO//RANKED where we hit pause on the rankings and rewind the tape to catch you up on everything that’s happened in a franchise or filmography before the next entry hits theaters. Last time, we dove into the Scream franchise, but today we’re trading in the knives for Dolce & Gabbana in the 2006 workplace comedy classic The Devil Wears Prada ahead of the sequel set to release in theaters on May 1.
Released two decades ago, The Devil Wears Prada is directed by David Frankel, written by Aline Brosh McKenna, and based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, who had previously worked as an assistant to Anna Wintour. The film has a rich legacy in the cultural lexicon for its depictions of workplace culture, the fashion industry, and noted performances from Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
Throw on your Met Gala fits because the devil is wearing prada once again, and let’s recap.

Apologies everyone, there’s been a slight shift in programming. Hayden Christensen backed out of his guest spot for this episode. He told us he was down to make a guest appearance, but sent a text backing out at the last second saying, "I don’t like podcasts. They’re long and rough and irritating, and they get everywhere." Oh well, maybe next time.
Welcome to another episode of RETRO//RANKED, the Rolling Tape podcast series in which we discuss various franchises and filmographies that we love and rank their individual entries leading up to some of the biggest new releases. We’re continuing our journey across the Star Wars galaxy. We’ve already covered A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Phantom Menace. Today we wrap up the prequel trilogy as we keep forging the path toward the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu.

It's another year and you know what that means, another music biopic. This weekend saw the release of Michael, the latest of the popular trend of famous musician biographies hitting the big screen, this time focused on the early life and 80s peak of pop star Michael Jackson. The first thought for many Oscar pundits' brains was, is Michael an awards contender? Does it matter if critics dislike the film if it's so popular with the general public? And what is the history for music biopics at the Academy Awards?
We answer all these questions and more examining the awards prospects for Antoine Fuqua's film starring Jaafar Jackson (Michael Jackson's nephew) and Juliano Valdi portraying the King of Pop. The film has been welcomed with low critics scores including 38% on Rotten Tomatoes and 39% on Metacritic, but a $97 million domestic opening weekend and an A- Cinema Score have made it a hit with general audiences.
In addition to our Oscars analysis, we think through which musician biopics we'd still like to see in the future.

We are finally stepping outside of our usual HBO bubble at The Rolling Remote because today we're heading to Netflix to talk about Beef Season 2. If you're not familiar with Beef, it's a Netflix anthology series created by Lee Sung Jin. At its core, it's about conflict, something usually small, impulsive, almost meaningless, that spirals into something way bigger than it should. It's super messy, uncomfortable, funny, and usually ends up revealing a lot about the people who are involved.
Season 1 starred Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as Danny Cho and Amy Lau, two strangers involved in a road rage incident. The anthology series went on to an awards run at the Emmys where it won in all three of its nominated categories, including Best Limited or Anthology Series or Television Film.
We discuss Season 2 which stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as Joshua Martin and Lindsay Crane-Martin and Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton as Ashley and Austin, two couples, with the poor latter two blackmailing the rich former two into not releasing footage of a heated argument the two had, which similarly escalates into a prolonged feud.

Jackson is portrayed by his nephew Jaafar Jackson and as a child by Juliano Krue Valdi, both in their film debuts. The supporting cast includes Nia Long, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Laura Harrier, Jessica Sula, Mike Myers, Miles Teller and Colman Domingo. Mother Maryon the other hand is a psychological fictional drama that follows how long-buried wounds rise to the surface when iconic pop star Mother Mary reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer, Sam Anselm, on the eve of her comeback performance. It stars Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, Hunter Schafer, FKA Twigs, and Kaia Gerber.
After reviewing each, we do a collaborative blind ranking of the best fictional bands and artists in movies.

The Cannes Film Festival lineup is officially here as we announced last week, so while it’s a quieter stretch for awards news, we’re leaning into the chaos in the best way possible with ACTING PREDICTIONS.
After our recent Vulture-style 2027 Oscar Contenders draft, our Awards Editor, Paul Rai, takes things a step further by predicting all four acting categories for the 2027 Oscars completely blind. With limited information on categories and plenty of guesswork (and likely wrong predictions), it’s an early, off-the-cuff snapshot of where the acting awards races could go.
Plus, with Cannes right around the corner, Danny Jarabek and Nandita Joshi will be on the ground at the festival, bringing back insights on many of the films discussed in this episode.

We are wrapping up Season 2 of The Pitt!! Spoilers ahead for Episodes 11-15 (including the season finale...).
Noah Wyle's hit HBO medical drama has quietly become everybody’s favorite show, and every time we come back to it, it’s somehow more chaotic, more stressful, and honestly just more fun to talk about.
We covered the first half of the season earlier, so today we’re diving into Episodes 11 through 15 and then zooming out to talk about Season 2 as a whole discussing what worked, what didn’t, and where this show is heading next.
A quick shoutout to another show on The Rolling Tape network:
If you’re not already listening to Read Receipts: A Big Screen Book Club, they’re switching things up next month and covering TV, specifically Margo's Got Money Troubles on Apple TV+.
We are excited about the crossover, it’s always fun when the team starts blending film and TV conversations a bit more. Definitely go check that out if you need more TV podcasts in your life!

Pete Ohs works as a director, producer, writer, editor, and cinematographer. He has produced and directed five feature films in the past five years. In 2025, he was at Sundance with OBEX, a fantasy adventure feature he produced, co-wrote and shot. This was followed by The True Beauty of Being Bitten By a Tick, a genre-bending horror satire he directed, co-wrote and shot.

Madden) in Warsaw, Poland. Taking the explosive event as a sign, she reunites with
her childhood friend, Nel (Lena Góra), and embarks on a European adventure that
forces her to confront the pains and pleasures of growing up.
Pete discusses his creative process and the collaboration with Charli xcx that influenced the way the story was told.
1-2 Special releases Erupcja In Theaters on April 17, 2026.

A long time ago on a podcast far far away…
Welcome to a brand new season of RETRO//RANKED, The Rolling Tape seasonal series in which we discuss various franchises and filmographies that we love and rank their individual entries leading up to some of the biggest new releases. Today, we lift off with Season 6 to the Star Wars galaxy. Over the course of the next several episodes, we’ll be covering every single theatrically released Star Wars film ever made, including one or two that may surprise you. We are, of course, doing this to lead up to the release of The Mandalorian & Grogu, the first Star Wars movie to hit theaters since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019.
Episodes IV and V, A New Hope & The Empire Strikes Back, are two of the most important and storied entries into the Star Wars franchise. A New Hopewas released on May 25, 1977 and directed by George Lucas. The film was nominated for a whopping 10 Academy Awards at the 50th Academy Awards ceremony in 1978, and won for Visual Effects, Sound Mixing, Film Editing, Production Design, Costume Design, and Score for John Williams. Off a budget of around $11 million, the movie grossed over $300 million. At the time, it was the highest-grossing movie of all time.
Star Wars: Episode 5 - The Empire Strikes Back is the second entry in the Star Wars franchise. It was released on May 21, 1980. The film received three nominations at the 53rd Academy Awards Ceremony in 1981. It was nominated for Production Design, Original Score, and Sound mixing, only winning the latter. The movie made over $200 million off a budget of slightly over $30 million.

The Cannes Film Festival, one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world, is just a month away, running May 12–24. This past Thursday, Artistic Director Thierry Frémaux and President Iris Knobloch announced the official selections, including In Competition, Out of Competition, Un Certain Regard, and more. For those following awards season, Cannes has increasingly become an unofficial kickoff. As the Academy’s international membership has expanded in recent years, so has the awards impact of Cannes premieres.
On this episode, we’ll break down the Competition lineup, highlight every film playing In Competition, and share our early (and likely very wrong) predictions for the Palme d’Or, the festival’s top prize.
It’s also a special episode for us—because for the first time, The Rolling Tape will be on the ground covering Cannes in full, with Editor-in-Chief Danny Jarabek and contributor Nandita Joshi reporting live.

WAHOO!!! We’re off to the outer galaxy, not alongside the Artemis II astronauts but rather with two Italian plumbers in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic and written by Matthew Fogel, it is the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie from 2023, which we previously reviewed on the podcast in Episode 034.
Mario, Luigi, and their friends adventure into outer space, where they meet Princess Rosalina and face off against Bowser and his son, Bowser Jr. Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, and Keegan-Michael Key reprise their roles, with Benny Safdie, Donald Glover, Glen Powell, and Brie Larson joining the voice cast. The film is currently rotten at 43% on Rotten Tomatoes with an 89% Popcornmeter audience score.
In addition to discussing the film, which has already grossed over $500 million at the global box office, we’ll talk about Illumination as an animation studio, and some of our favorite video game adaptations.

With the release of A24's The Drama, we thought it would be a great time to take a moment to talk about A24 as a studio. When it comes to independent films and Oscar-winning successes, no indie film studio has exploded in popularity and name recognition to the same degree as A24, winning Best Picture twice (Moonlightand Everything Everywhere All at Once) in its 14-year existence.
For some, A24 is a brand, it's an aesthetic, it's a way of life. And for others, it's an arbiter of quality, an immediate tastemaker of film culture and the beacon of emerging, exciting artists. The boutique indie studio was inspired by the idea of three industry film veterans, Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges, who wanted to be the home for more artistically innovative films.
After 200+ films and a vault of Oscars, we're going to talk about the studio's award successes, why they work and sometimes don't work, what they represent in the film's space, why their merchandise is so expensive, and what their future is going forward.

With our TV host at The Rolling Remote, Jake Fittipaldi, we are trying something a little bit new here called "channel surfing" as we peruse through what we're collectively watching across the TV landscape.
There’s just way too much TV right now for us to cover everything in full episodes, so this is our way of opening things up a bit. Instead of one show, we’re bouncing around. Talking about what we’ve actually been watching, what we think is worth your time, and what maybe isn’t. Think of this as recommendations, but also a temperature check on TV right now of what's been hitting, what's not, and then just taking a look at what is gonna stick throughout the rest of the year and into the awards season.
Jake is joined by our Awards Editor, Paul Rai, and our host at The Rolling Tape, Danny Jarabek, two voices we typically here on the film side of our content, to hear about what they recommend in TV.

Every month, we read a book that has been adapted for the screen… then we share our receipts. What worked? What didn’t? Did we enjoy the book or the movie more?
Our host, Kasey Dunifer, is a cinephile and avid reader. She loves exploring how these two art forms intersect to create even richer worlds. So if you like books and movies, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the club.
This month we read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It is the bestselling sci-fi novel from 2021, that has just been adapted for the big screen. The film stars Ryan Gosling, is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and was written by Drew Goddard.
Spoilers ahead for both the book and film.

Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei are longtime collaborators who have worked together across three feature films, CAM, How to Blow Up a Pipeline, and now Faces of Death. The film is a remake of the 1978 film, which spawned significant controversy for its grotesque depictions of death scenes, and the lore surrounding whether they were real deaths turned the film into a cult-followed franchise.
The 2026 edition stars Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX. We are joined by the film's Director/Co-Writer, Daniel Goldhaber & Co-Writer/Producer, Isa Mazzei, to discuss their take on interpreting the source material in a contemporary landscape. The pair also provides a behind-the-scenes look at some of the film's most notable choices in cinematography and art direction.
Faces of Death is having its World Premiere at Beyond Fest on April 5 and will be in theaters on April 10 from IFC and Shudder.

The 2026 Oscars may have just wrapped up, but with our expanded weekly conversations on The Awards Tape, the award season has already turned the calendar into the next cycle. Soon enough, on April 9, we're going to get the Cannes announcement lineup, which will kickstart the first Oscar rumors, but until then we're discussing potential contenders in a draft style format to keep things fun.
Each of us is going to draft 8 potential award contenders we believe will be big value plays come next award season and the Oscars. Those selections will be graded and accumulate points throughout the year based on the following criteria:
- Critic and audience scores (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and Letterboxd)
- Box office reception
- Festival awards, precursor nominations, and Oscar nominations
We also instituted a couple of special rules to add to the competition:
- A player can only draft 3 films with a budget of $100 million or more
- One of your 8 films has to be a No Guts No Glory pick. A film you have little-to-no faith in will be an awards contender but you are willing to roll the dice. Should this film receive any (even one) Oscar nomination, it will net you an automatic 30 points for your pick.

It's almost time for Euphoria Sundays once again. Today, we continue our retrospective series on HBO's Euphoria. With the show returning for a new season on April 12th for Season 3, we'll be going back and revisiting each of the two previous seasons leading up to the premiere.
We're continuing our Euphoria retrospective and getting into the second season of the ever-so-controversial HBO hit show. This is the season that came out in 2022 after a very long pandemic delay, and it definitely feels way different than season 1. It's bigger, maybe a little messier. But we still have Zendaya at the center as Rue and it spreads out across the ensemble cast like in season 1, and focuses on their relationships and tensions.

We’re being greedy here today at The Rolling Tape podcast with not just one final girl movie on the docket, but two final girl movies to discuss. The first is They Will Kill You, an action comedy horror film directed by Kirill Sokolov, from a script co-written with Alex Litvak. It was released by Warner Bros. Pictures on March 27, 2026.
To pair with it, we’re also discussing last week’s wide release sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, another comedy horror film directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy. It serves as a direct sequel to Ready or Not from 2019, with Samara Weaving reprising her role as Grace MacCaullay. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come premiered at SXSW on March 13, 2026, and was released theatrically by Searchlight Pictures on March 20.
Two movies, two final girls, but even that’s not enough for us today as we’ll also tier rank the most influential and badass screen queens and kings the horror genre has ever seen.

Welcome to In The Queue, a new show in The Rolling Tape network of podcasts that answers the question “What should I watch this weekend?” Every month, we line up what’s in theaters, what’s headlining our watchlists, and what we recommend adding to yours. From the big screen to streaming, we discuss what we are currently watching and what you might want to add to your queue. So grab your popcorn, clear some space in the queue, and let’s press play.
For our March 2026 edition and kickoff episode, we break down what movies are streaming, screening, and most importantly, worth adding to your watchlist. To keep our own watchlists in check, we end with a recommendation game where we randomly select a movie from each other’s Letterboxd watchlists to watch before the next episode.

We're in the weekend of Project Hail Mary as it's opening successfully at the box office as the Lord and Miller directed sci-fi saga has launched to an $80 million domestic gross. It's received an A Cinema score, 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 4.4 on Letterboxd, and a 77 Metacritic score. All the signs seem to be pointing towards not just the biggest crowd pleaser of the year, but possibly an awards contender.
That's partially what this episode will focus on, but we'll also take a deep dive into the relationship the Academy has had with the science fiction genre. The science fiction genre is tricky, as there's a plethora of examples where it's been nominated in many categories, but missed major above the line categories. But that's what we're focusing on today, Project Hail Mary as a possible awards contender, and the science fiction genre's success at the Oscars throughout history.

It's almost time for Euphoria Sundays once again. Today, we are kicking off a brand new retrospective series on HBO's Euphoria. With the show returning for a new season on April 12th for Season 3, we'll be going back and revisiting each of the two previous seasons leading up to the premiere.
Premiering on HBO in 2019, Euphoria was created by filmmaker Sam Levinson and quickly became one of HBO's biggest cultural phenomena known for its striking visual style, bold storytelling, and unflinching depiction of teenage life in the digital age. At the center of the series is Zendaya, as Rue Bennett, a teenager struggling with addiction, who becomes both the show's protagonist and narrator. Surrounding Rue is a sprawling ensemble that includes Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, Sydney Sweeney, Barbie Ferreira, Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, and Algee Smith.
Season One ultimately earns Zendaya the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, making her the youngest winner in the category at the time.

The Pitt is a medical procedural drama television series created by R. Scott Gemmill, and executive produced by John Wells and Noah Wyle after the same group collaborate on ER. It stars Wyle, Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, and Shabana Azeez.
Each season of the series follows emergency department staff as they attempt to overcome the hardships of a single 15-hour work shift at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, all while having to navigate staff shortages and underfunding. Each episode covers approximately one hour of the work shift.
Today we are diving back in to the chaos of HBO's Emmy-award winning medical drama which returned earlier this year with its second season. Season One established the show's real time ER structure and introduced us to the staff working in one of the most chaotic emergency rooms on television. Season Two has kept that formula going, but has continued to raise the stakes significantly. We have some new doctors, new relationships. We have the hospital experimenting with AI systems. By the time we reach episode 10, the ER is in complete chaos with one of its most intense crises. Today we're breaking down those first ten episodes of Season Two of The Pitt.

March has been a month of horror with last week’s conversation on The Bride! and movie monsters setting the stage for this week to dive into the paranormal with Ian Tuason’s directorial debut, undertone. Undertone premiered at Fantasia Festival on July 27, 2025, and was theatrically released in the US by A24 on March 13, 2026.
Today, we are calling all demonic spirits and paranormal skeptics while channeling the energy of the undertone podcast. The film stars Nina Kiri as Evy, a woman who hosts a paranormal podcast with her friend Justin played by Adam DiMarco, where she is the skeptic to his believer. After Evy moves back home to become the caregiver to her dying mother, she and Justin are sent recordings by a married couple experiencing paranormal noises in their home, drawing Evy into fear and paranoia.
We’ll discuss the film as well as look back at A24’s horror filmography by tier-ranking everything they have distributed in the genre.

Today, we are returning to the chaotic world of HBO's financial drama, Industry, to finish our Season 4 discussion. In our last episode, we covered the first half of the season, episodes 1-5, and now we're picking up with episodes 6-8 where this season's expansion comes to a head from the fallout of Harper's investigation into Tender to the political and financial chaos surrounding everything Henry, Whitney, and Yasmin are up to, and of course, the shifting relationships between some of the show's core characters.
These episodes push the story further into corporate espionage, political influence, and global finance while still grounding everything in the messy personal dynamics that have always defined the show. Jake and The Rolling Remote team finish the conversation on Season 4!

As mentioned in our conversation last week, discussing the origins of Universal’s movie monsters in 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein, we were leading into the latest re-adaptation with Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!The film pays homage to both the 1935 film and Mary Shelley’s 1817 source text, “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.” The Bride! had its world premiere in London on February 26, 2026 and was released in the US by Warner Bros. on March 6.
We discuss the film where in 1930s Chicago, Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphronius to help create a companion. They give life to a murdered woman as the Bride, sparking romance, police interest, and radical social change. The film stars Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale alongside Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz.
We also discuss the career of Jessie Buckley as she approaches winning her first Oscar, and the popularity of bringing back movie monsters in recent years.

It's been a hot minute since we've done a pulse check in the Awards Race, with the last time we recorded being over a month ago on January 25th. It was our post-Oscar nominations recap with Cole Curtiss from the Oscars Model offering his insight and reactions, but so much has happened since then. The BAFTA Awards ceremony, the Directors Guild, and the Producers Guild of America have awarded their respective winners.
We also reacted live to The Actor Awards (SAG), and at the time of publication, we're 11 days away from the 98th Academy Awards. We recap everything that's happened in the awards race while sharing our updated predictions in contentious categories.
Although we recorded the episode before The Actor Awards, we also add an appendix based on the results of SAG at the end of the episode.

We react live to the 2026 Actor Awards (formerly known as SAG Awards) as they were streamed on Netflix with host Kristin Bell. Just hours beforehand, we recorded a "State of the Race" episode for The Awards Tape with prediction scenarios for all possible outcomes at SAG. We briefly reassess our predictions at the end of the show. One of the last major steps before the Oscars, we now have our SAG winners!

Today we are going back in time to reanimate film history in 1935 with Bride of Frankenstein. Nearly a century later, we’re discussing Universal’s horror film which was the first sequel to Universal Pictures' 1931 film Frankenstein. As with the first film, Bride was directed by James Whale, starring Boris Karloff as the Monster and Colin Clive as Dr. Frankenstein. Additionally, it features Elsa Lanchester in the dual role of Mary Shelley and the bride, Ernest Thesiger as Doctor Septimus Pretorius, and Oliver Peters Heggie as the blind hermit. We’ll also preview what’s to come in horror for the remainder of 2026.

It’s officially time for Read Receipts: A Big Screen Book Club from The Rolling Tape! Every month, we will read a book that has been adapted for the screen… then we’ll share our receipts: What worked? What didn’t? Did we enjoy the adaptation more? Or the source material? Lots to unpack, and lots of movies to explore, as adaptations become more and more popular on the big screen.
Our Read Receipts host is Kasey Dunifer, an avid reader, chronic watcher, and lover of comparing the two art forms. So if you like books, or you like movies, or if you like books AND movies, you’re in the right place, and welcome to the club!
First up: this month, we read the 1847 classic novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë and watched the 2026 film adaptation quote unquote “WUTHERING HEIGHTS” directed by Emerald Fennell, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

For the first time at The Rolling Remote, we are heading into the lands of Westeros with A Night of the Seven Kingdoms, the HBO fantasy drama created by Ira Parker and George R.R. Martin. The series is the third live-action entry in Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire universe, following Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. It's set roughly 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones and adapts the tales of Martin's "Tales of Dunk and Egg" novellas, beginning with the first one, which is season one, The Hedge Knight.
Rather than focusing on dynastic warfare or dragon-fueled succession battles, this story centers on Ser Duncan the Tall, played by Peter Claffey, a hedge knight of uncertain standing, and his young squire, Egg, played by Dexter Sol Ansell, whose true identity carries significant political weight. Today we're breaking down the entire first season, all six episodes, from character dynamics to the Trial of the Seven, to how the series fits within the broader Westeros landscape.

Lucy Sandler is a filmmaker with a particular interest in the nuance of the female perspective and coming of age stories. Mechi Lakatos is a writer and filmmaker whose work explores dislocation, intergenerational rupture, and the emotional interior lives of women, queer people, and immigrants. The pair co-wrote the short film The Weight of a Dog, which played at Aspen and Atlanta in 2025.
Their first feature film development together, Danny is My Boyfriend, follows Lucy and Mechi after they discover they’re dating the same man. The pair fumble their way through a series of misguided schemes, enlisting a parade of eccentric and unqualified accomplices in a half-baked mission to get revenge. Lucy and Mechi join us to discuss their improvisational approach to the film before their World Premiere at Slamdance.

Today we are eating the rich, unlocking our inheritances, and moving our way up to the top tax bracket with How to Make a Killing written and directed by John Patton Ford and distributed by A24. Disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family, blue-collar Becket Redfellow will stop at nothing to reclaim his inheritance, no matter how many relatives stand in his way. The film stars Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, and Jessica Henwick. It is the sophomore feature follow-up to his 2022 directorial debut, Emily the Criminal, which premiered at Sundance. In addition to reviewing the film, we’ll discuss the state of Glen Powell’s career, as well as play a this or that game with “eat the rich” style movies we’ve seen.

"Wuthering Heights" was the only novel by the English author Emily Brontë in 1847. The latest adaptation is courtesy of Emerald Fennell and Warner Bros., her third feature film as a writer and director. The story, notably in quotations, follows a passionate and tumultuous love story set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, exploring the intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw as Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie respectively. The film also stars Hong Chau, Martin Clunes, Alison Oliver, and Owen Cooper.
In addition to reviewing the film, we also discuss the careers of the film’s leads, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, and the films that have defined their careers to this point.

Love is in the air as Valentine's Day is less than a week away and the hotly anticipated steamy romance, “Wuthering Heights”, will be the major wide release meant to appeal to everyone on Valentine's weekend. Because of that, this week’s discussion on The Awards Tape is about the relationship the romance genre has to the Oscars, what some of our favorite romance or romantic comedies are that have received awards recognition, and analyzing how the genre has transformed to meet the sensibilities of the modern Academy.

In a first for The Rolling Remote, our TV podcast series, we are talking about Industry, created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, that follows a group of young people just trying to survive in the world of high finance and investment banking.
The series first premiered in 2020 and, over four seasons, has steadily built a reputation as one of HBO's most compelling contemporary dramas. Across the first three seasons, the show gained traction through word of mouth and critical support rather than immediate hype, and now, in its fourth season, it feels like the series has finally reached a new level of visibility and interest.
Today's episode will be focused on Season Four, episodes one through five.

In the first edition of our newly formatted Monday episode of The Rolling Tape, we are discussing a new release, similar to what we have always done, while also expanding the conversation to include conversation on related industry topics and segments.
Today we’ll discuss Sirât as well as zoom out to NEON as a whole, unpacking the success of their 2025 slate while looking ahead to their upcoming releases in 2026. Stay with us as we also wrap up with a preview of February on what’s to come for our show as well as what we’ll see in theaters for the remainder of the month. Sirat's North American rights were acquired by NEON as part of their international acquisition spree. The film went on to become Spain’s submission to the Academy Awards where it was shortlisted in five categories and nominated for two Oscars for Best Sound and Best International Feature.

With Nuisance Bear, filmmakers Gabriela Osio Vanden and Jack Weisman return to Churchill, Manitoba — affectionately known as the “Polar Bear Capital of the World” — to deepen the inquiry begun in their award-winning short film in 2021. The result is a striking portrait of the fraught coexistence between polar bears and humans, guided by an Inuit narrator whose insights resist simplification.
We are joined by the film's editor, Andres Landau, who also edited the short and has been involved with the story for seven years. Parsing over 700 hours of nature and narration footage, Andres and his team craft a beautiful exploration of the consequences when modern life and natural landscapes collide.
The film recently had its World Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival 2026, winning the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. Documentary Competition.

Apple TV+’s The Lost Bus is nominated for Best Visual Effects at the 98th Academy Awards. We are joined by Special Effects Coordinator Brandon K. McLaughlin on the film to discuss his work. Starring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera, this visceral docudrama relives the 2018 Camp Fire that ravaged Paradise, California, following a bus driver and teacher racing to save 22 schoolchildren.
Facing the challenge of recreating the deadliest wildfire in California history, Brandon spearheaded a seamless fusion of practical and visual effects. His team constructed six massive fire sets on a Santa Fe backlot, and collaborated with VFX supervisor Charlie Noble to ensure practical flames set the standard for digital effects, creating a fire that felt indistinguishable from reality, per Greengrass’s vision.

Vulture’s Movies Fantasy League is well underway for the 2025-26 awards season and our team has been participating! Back in part one of this podcast mini-series, we discussed how we drafted our teams based on the criteria of box office, critical reception, and awards. The rules for how to play are available on the MFL hub, but their summary is as follows, “You select a roster of exactly eight films within a budget of 100 imaginary dollars. Once the scoring phase of the game begins, the films you’ve drafted will accumulate points for achieving milestones in box-office take, precursor awards/nominations, critical approval, and more.” We are revisiting our team’s leaderboard now that we’re reached phase 2 of awards season with the Oscar nominations announced! Our league at The Rolling Tape is visible by searching our name on the leaderboard.

Mascha Schilinski’s century-spanning German epic is a visual poem about time, memory, and gendered violence that unfolds across four generations of women connected to the same rural farmhouse. The film collapses these timelines by slipping in and out of different eras in German history to reveal the cyclical nature of their transgenerational trauma. Its atmospheric cinematography bleeds these timelines together with a ghostlike presence. Today, we have the opportunity to share a conversation with film's director, Mascha Schilinski, and cinematographer, Fabian Gamper, who share their creative process and vision for the film. Sound of Falling won the Jury Prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and is Germany's submission to the International Feature category at the Academy Awards. MUBI will release Sound of Falling in U.S. theaters on January 16.

This is a re-release of Season 2 of our RETRO//RANKED podcast series. We recorded the episode upon the release of 28 Years Later in 2025, and we are resharing it in honor of Nia DaCosta's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple hitting theaters this weekend.
The 28 franchise is a British post-apocalyptic horror series that began with the groundbreaking film 28 Days Later (2002), directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. Widely credited with revitalizing the zombie genre, the franchise is known for its depiction of "fast zombies" — humans infected by the highly contagious Rage virus, which induces uncontrollable aggression within seconds of exposure. On this solo RETRO//RANKED episode for Season 2, we collaboratively rank the three entries to the 28 franchise, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, and 28 Years Later.

We have a new host in town with Jake Fittipaldi taking the reins of The Rolling Remote, a show that is also going to be evolving in 2026. This is the start of a broader, more expansive version of The Rolling Remote, where we will still be diving deep into the shows we love, but across more series, more genres, and more conversations that define what modern television looks like right now. Today we discuss the state of television in 2026 before delving into a recap of the acclaimed medical drama The Pitt, created by Noah Wyle. The conversation highlights the importance of week-to-week releases in fostering community engagement and the show's ability to humanize healthcare professionals. The discussion touches on memorable moments from Season One and anticipates the direction of Season Two.

It's a strange case from the start. A case with a hole in the center. A doughnut. Watch along with us to Rian Johnson's Knives Out (2019) for the Netflix release of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Story. To celebrate the third murder mystery in Rian Johnson's Benoit Blanc-led whodunnits, we watch along with the original Knives Out discussing everything that made that film such a huge hit. The story follows when renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, and the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. The film stars Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield, and Christopher Plummer.

With the dust now settled on festival season we are now offering our second draft predictions for above-the-line categories including Picture, Director, and Original and Adapted Screenplay, all four Performance categories, and Animated and International Feature. As awards season continues to develop, we’ll be doing specialized prediction episodes that feature three categories at a time until we’ve covered all categories ahead of nomination morning. All the while, our team’s predictions will be available in real time on our website.

Nandita Joshi is joined by director Zahraa Ghandour about her powerful feature-length documentary debut, Flana, where she opens up about what led her to step back behind the camera after taking a break as an actress, and how the film became a deeply personal exploration of silence, memory, and womanhood in Iraq. From interviewing her own family to crafting haunting visuals with cinematographer Jocelyne Abi Gebrayel, she reflects on the emotional risks of telling such a vulnerable story, the absence of male voices, and her hopes for the conversations Flana will spark now that it’s out in the world.

Happy Weapons week to all who celebrate! One of the most anticipated movies of the year is Zach Cregger's sophomore feature, Weapons, and the follow up to his directorial debut, Barbarian. Naturally, we had to revisit Barbarian by watching along and staying together as a team at the most fucked up AirBnB you've ever seen. Take a trip to Detroit with us and listen along as we revisit Barbarian (2022) ahead of our review of Weapons (2025) this coming weekend.

From Athina Rachel Tsangari (Chevalier, Attenberg), Harvest is a spellbinding and thrillingly distinctive period piece like no other, telling a folk horror-inflected story about the trauma of modernity and the looming threat of the outsider. Set over seven hallucinatory days in an idyllic rural Scottish village, the traditional way of life for its agrarian community is suddenly disrupted when a series of unexpected invaders from the outside world bring about irrevocable – and potentially damaging – change. In our interview, we discuss Tsangari's approach to location and worldbuilding as well as the beautifully captured 16mm cinematography.

In Bong Joon-ho’s first film since the Best Picture-winning Parasite, he returns to science fiction by adapting the novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. Robert Pattinson stars as an "expendable" - a disposable crew member on a space mission, selected for dangerous tasks because he can be renewed if his body dies, with his memories largely intact. With one regeneration, though, things go very wrong. The movie also stars Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, and Mark Ruffalo.

At Slamdance Film Festival, Red Broadwell interviews writer/director, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, of Memories of Love Returned.
On April 24th, 2002, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine’s car broke down in the small town of Mbirizi, Uganda. While waiting for the car's repair he stumbled upon a photo studio and met photographer Kibaate Aloysius Ssalongo, whose work spanned from the late 1950’s up till 2006 when he passed away.
This chance encounter turned into a 22 year journey documenting and exploring Kibaate’s life and photography and the profound impact it had on Ntare’s life and the lives of the entire community he documented.
The film is centered on a large-scale outdoor exhibit in Kibaate’s hometown, which led to the community's discovery of long lost photos, family secrets and never before seen family members all being brought to life through Kibaate’s work.

Landon Defever speaks with Stolen Kingdom writer/director Joshua Bailey on his background and connection to the Disney universe and how it brought him to documenting its hidden stories. Stolen Kingdom is a documentary that delves into the history of mischief, scandal, and theft at Walt Disney World, ultimately leading to the theft of an animatronic valued at nearly half a million dollars. The film features key figures from the park's underground community, each sharing their unique stories. As the narrative unfolds, early pranks and antics are shown to have inspired more recent crimes, culminating in a true crime mystery. What begins as a tale of friendship and passion ends with one lingering question: Who stole Buzzy?

After winning the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary Feature and being recently shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature for the Academy Awards, Porcelain War is now in limited theatrical release. Under roaring fighter jets, Ukrainian artists Slava, Anya, and Andrey choose to stay behind. Defiantly finding beauty amid destruction, they show that although it's easy to make people afraid, it's hard to destroy their passion for living. We discuss the bravery and courage it took to make the film and feature the work of the Ukrainian artists during the war.

With our final review of the year, and following our recent retrospective conversation on the career of Robert Eggers, we succumb to the darkness in his latest work, Nosferatu. In a reimagining of the 1897 novel and 1922 silent film, Nosferatu’s legacy of adaptation is rich and extensive. In the 2024 iteration, Eggers delivers a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake. The film stars Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Emma Corrin. Listen Here:Spotify

Robert Eggers has carved a distinctive niche in contemporary storytelling particularly in horror, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and period accuracy of historical and mythological narratives. With a career spanning three feature films, Eggers has already established himself as one of the most visionary directors of his generation. From the gothic dread of The Witch (2015) to the surreal descent into madness in The Lighthouse (2019) and the Viking brutality of The Northman (2022). We discuss each of his films in preparation for our expectations of Nosferatu.

Tim Burton's career is a journey through the surreal and the gothic, where the ordinary meets the bizarre in a visually stunning blend of emotion and imagination. Emerging in the mid-1980s, Burton quickly established himself as a director with a singular vision, blending elements of horror, fantasy, and humor to create unforgettable cinematic worlds. His signature style—marked by eccentric characters and stop-motion aesthetics—has carved out a unique place in Hollywood.

This retrospective looks back on his prolific career, tracing his evolution as a filmmaker, his influences, and the lasting impact of his distinctive creative voice on both popular culture and the film industry before looking ahead to his latest effort in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

With a World Premiere at Sundance in January, Sean Wang's Dìdi has now been capturing the hearts of audiences as the film has gone into wide release in theater. In 2008, during the last month of summer before high school begins, the film follows an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy who learns what his family can't teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom. We discuss the making of the film with editors Arielle Zakowski and Christopher Tennel who detail the post-production process and highlight the multiple formats the film operates in including rebuilding the 2008-era Facebook, MySpace, and skater videos.

The Alien movie franchise, spanning over four decades, is one of the most iconic and enduring series in science fiction and horror filmmaking history. What began in 1979 with Ridley Scott's Alien has since evolved into a sprawling narrative universe known for its heroine Ellen Ripley, its groundbreaking visual effects, and the image of the eponymous Xenomorph. We explore the franchise's origins, its impact on the genre, and the way it has evolved through the vision of multiple directors before leading into our expectations for the upcoming Alien: Romulus.

Directed by Richard Linklater and written by Linklater and Glen Powell, the film follows a professor moonlighting as a hit man of sorts for his city police department, who descends into dangerous, dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to a woman who enlists his services. Loosely based on a true story, the film stars Glen Powell, Adria Arjona, and Austin Amelio.

Before watching and reviewing the film, we discuss the director’s career leading up to his breakout film ‘Call Me By Your Name’. Luca Guadagnino's career has been marked by a willingness to explore different genres and themes, from romance to horror to sports drama.

We explore his unique perspective on filmmaking from a world cinema perspective, his focus on emotion and relationships, and his collaborations with actors like Tilda Swinton and Dakota Johnson. We also touch on his earlier films 'I Am Love' and 'A Bigger Splash', as well as his remake of 'Suspiria' and most recently, ‘Bones and All’, before previewing his next film.

From the World Series of Board Games on the Vegas strip and dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, "The Hobby" is an affectionate, character-driven portrait of the massive and diverse subculture of board games. With a fascinating cast of charming subjects – including the “Roger Ebert of board games”, a rock-climbing board game philosopher, and a birdwatcher who created an unlikely smash hit – players share personal stories of competition, compulsion, creativity, and connection.

Harden’s travels to Bulgaria, The Black Sea is the transformative journey of a man who finds unexpected connections in a small coastal Eastern European town even as he finds himself to be the only black person around.

In “Masters of the Air” (Apple TV+), airmen forge a brotherhood in courage, loss, and triumph as they risk their lives with the 100th Bomb Group during World War II. Supervising sound editor Jack Whittaker, and re-recording mixers, Michael Minkler and Duncan McRae utilize authentic and groundbreaking sound design to immerse viewers in the true stories of the brave men who risked their lives for their country, not knowing whether they would make it home alive.
Whittaker is an Emmy Award-Winner for his work on “Generation Kill” (HBO) and he has worked as a sound designer and sound editor on iconic projects like “Coco” (2017), “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (2021), and many more.
McRae has worked in the sound department in various roles for over a decade. He’s worked on several high-profile projects as a re-recording mix technician throughout his career, like “Hamilton” (2020), “One Night in Miami…” (2020), and “Cruella” (2021).
Minkler is a three-time Academy Award winner for his work on “Black Hawk Down” (2001), Chicago (2002), and Dreamgirls (2006). Not long after he began his career as a re-recording mixer in the early 1970s, he worked on Star Wars, for which he won a BAFTA for his contribution in 1979.

The monster film brings our darkest fears to screen. It puts us face-to-face with the things we fear most as a collective society. Today, we examine how the monster film has changed over time and place in film history, what makes a great movie monster, and how history and culture has changed our perception of what to fear. For this, we will be examining the original Godzilla (1954) and its historical post-WWII context and the modern Jordan Pelle horror film Nope (2022).

The western is a genre most popular from the 1940s to 1960s that takes the frame to the vast and lawless American West, exploring a land amidst its transition from a frontier to a country. Within a world yet to be tamed, we see an America stripped down to its survival, and thus, showing some of its true colors and values within it. We examine two films: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966) a quintessential epic classic epitomizing the genre, and The Power of the Dog (2021) a modern approach aiming to reflect the genre.

For today’s double feature topic, we’re discussing the idea of media representation in film, how mass media in the form of television or other sources has been depicted in film as a way to configure and shape reality for entertainment and profit. The first film that we selected in this pairing is Sidney Lumet’s 1976, Network, and you voted to pair Peter Weir’s The Truman Show from 1998 for two prescient films examining the role of media, and specifically television media, in society.

Single day films utilize the technique of a closed period of time to tell their stories, often making time an additional character of the film creating a sense of urgency or embedding deadlines for the character’s lives and actions. We look at two films, La Haine (1995) and Do the Right Thing (1989) that utilize this technique to convey their impactful and interconnected themes and narratives.

For the 25th double feature we take a look at one of the most integral components of filmmaking–sound in film. Sound has been a tool for filmmakers since the late 1920’s when silent films transitioned to talkies, and since then has evolved through creative applications and strategies as a storytelling device and an essential part of the audiovisual experience of film. We break down how filmmakers Fritz Lang and Darius Marder, respectively, utilize this tool in M (1931) and Sound of Metal (2019), two films created nearly 100 years apart.

To celebrate our 1-year anniversary as an outlet since our first podcast on August 29, 2022, we review the winner of the social media bracket, Portrait of a Lady on Fire directed by Celine Sciamma in 2019. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century France, Sciamma paints a mesmerizing portrait of love, desire, and artistry as a female painter is obliged to deliver a wedding portrait for a woman set to be married. We review the delicate strokes of Claire Mathon’s visual storytelling and intimate performances of its stars, Noemie Merlant and Adele Haenel, entranced in a forbidden love that Sciamma herself has called a manifesto on the female gaze.

The musical is a genre of movie that rose in popularity in Hollywood’s Golden Age through its reliance on star power and the song and dance numbers that engaged audiences in exciting ways. Today, the musical landscape has dramatically changed with a waning popularity in studio productions and a larger interest in music propelling the plot forward rather than distinct breaks from the story itself. A quintessential movie musical, Singin’ in the Rain (1952) frames this double feature against Moulin Rouge! Set almost 50 years apart, we break down how the musical has changed and evolved over time.

Acting range is something that is extremely difficult to achieve for a performer: the skill to navigate many different types of roles and characters. Our double feature topic dives into this skill as it is portrayed through Robin Williams. Williams was a chameleon as an actor always navigating between comedy and drama in a wide variety of characters that defined his career. The two films that highlight this ability of his are Dead Poets Society and Aladdin, the focus of this double feature.

Camp is an aesthetic style and sensibility that admires bad taste and ironic value. Camp questions art and beauty by dethroning the serious through theatricality, irony, and a love for exaggeration. It is inherently elusive to understand and capture in any art form but it has succeeded in paving its way through film history, intentionally or otherwise. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and But I’m a Cheerleader (1999) are two examples of films that employ camp sensibilities as we examine how they relate to each other in this legacy as well as to camp taste as it has evolved over time as a space for LGBTQ+ representation.

One-location films often utilize enclosed settings to create a specific element of tension as if the characters are trapped within a space for the narrative to unfold. Joined by guest Manning Franks we discuss two films that are quintessential examples of the single-location setting technique, 12 Angry Men and Rear Window. Sidney Lumet and Alfred Hitchcock respectively master the closed setting of their films in order to reveal character traits and force character actions in response to the walled-in nature of their current world.

Giving Birth To a Butterfly follows a woman who after having her identity stolen, connects with her son's pregnant girlfriend as they bond together on a surreal journey and attempt to track down the perpetrators. In the conversation with co-writer Patrick Lawler, he speaks to the ‘alchemy’ of the creative dynamic between him and director Ted Schaefer. The pair co-wrote the film together after a long collaborative relationship resulting in their first feature film which is produced by Dweck Productions. Lawler and Schaefer both speak to the magical realism embedded in the film operating between its meditative ambiguity and real-life crisis of identity theft.

Authorship in filmmaking is a topic that has been debated amongst film theorists through the entire history of the art. Oftentimes, directors are the most credited with their name as the forefront author, but at the same time, filmmaking is a collaboration with many other significant voices weighing in on the creative process. Joined by guest Zach Marsh, we discuss one film with a clear stylistic sensibility being driven by its director, Quentin Tarantino for Pulp Fiction, and another with less clear authorship from its director, David Fincher for The Social Network.

Black and white cinematography used to be the only ways to capture moving images for film. In contemporary filmmaking, it is now only rarely used as an intentional choice by the filmmaker to capture a specific tone, setting, or atmosphere for a story. We discuss two films, Frances Ha and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, to examine the strategy of black and white imagery in a modern lens.

Our second double feature of Season 2 features the theme of “character study” films which follow central figures and are more driven by their internal struggles than external plot points.

We compare these two characters and how far they are willing to go to achieve their goals.

The film follows Jay asking his daughter Ella a series of the same questions every year from age 2 to age 18. It follows their relationship over time and the many ways that Ella comes of age through this recurring ritual. The film has been picked up by HBO and will be available to stream later this year. We discuss with Jay what it meant to do this project with his daughter, and how it has resonated with different audiences.

The romance film is a genre that elevates in popularity during the Valentine’s day season, but the classic romance film relationship with the protagonists getting back together against all odds isn’t for everyone. Real life relationships are often much messier and grounded than the Hollywood romance idealization, and that’s where the anti-romance comes in. For the Valentine’s Day cynics out there, these movies challenge the soulmate tropes and visualize the more ambiguous or darker sides of romance on screen. In this episode, we are joined by Veronica Phillips to discuss two films that challenge the traditional romance film through either more authentic approaches or unconventional narrative styles.

The biopic genre is one that has come to dominate Hollywood studios in recent years but has also been present in filmmaking since the earliest era of cinema. Often featuring a well-known public figure in history that dramatizes an event or time in their lives, films of this “biography” style have become well acquainted with Academy Awards and audiences alike who are well connected to the lives of the nonfictional individuals they follow. On this episode, we discuss two historical figure biopics in which the filmmakers break from the typical formula in order to present unique versions of their character’s lives.

The “Silent Film Era” was the foundational period of film history that saw the earliest innovations to cinematic storytelling. This era of filmmaking from the 1890’s to the 1920’s lacked the ability to record synchronized sound as we recognize it today, but also set forth many technical achievements that are still utilized today. Films of this period were forced to convey emotion and narrative through the visuals only, leading to many stylistic movements that relied on the expressiveness of the performances and tools such as production design, lighting, and editing to tell a story. We discuss Metropolis (1927) directed by Fritz Lang near the end of the silent film era before comparing it to Modern Times (1936) directed by Charlie Chaplin at a period transitioning to “talkies.”

Women Talking (2022) directed and written by Sarah Polley is an adaptation of a novel of the same name by Miriam Toews. The novel is a fictionalized response to the true story of a Mennonite community in Bolivia in which 150 women and young girls experienced sexual abuse, resulting in the imprisonment of 8 men. Polley’s film adaptation adds another layer to this story, centering the narrative on the women who debate the future of their colony. We are joined by guest Amanda Guarragi to discuss Polley’s film and its potential in the awards season race.

Coming of age movies come in many shapes and sizes, but it is a subgenre of films that often evokes a sense of nostalgia for its central characters who are dealing with the challenges of growing up in varying capacities. These films often follow the primary arc of a protagonist moving into the next stage of their lives and center around major changes and milestones, making them frequently relatable to stories often featuring the struggles of adolescents and young adults. There is no shortage of coming of age films, but our team selected Boyhood (2014), and the audience voted to pair Call Me By Your Name (2017). We discuss how these films fit into the coming of age genre and their unique perspectives and merits.

The holiday season is one of the best times of the year to celebrate cinema and all of the movies that utilize Christmas as setting or subject to their stories. To celebrate this magical season, we discuss the winner of the Best Christmas Movie bracket, It’s a Wonderful Life directed by Frank Capra in 1946. Considered one of the most recognizable foundations to the “Christmas movie” we discuss why this film has taken a place on this pantheon and what makes it such a significant holiday film.

In Darren Aronofsky’s first film since 2017, he returns with The Whale, an adaptation of a play by Samuel D. Hunter of the same name. Starring Brendan Fraser as a reclusive English teacher suffering from grief and obesity, the film also features Hong Chau, Sadie Sink, and Samantha Morton.

Ever since the advent of color in the 1930's before it became mainstream in filmmaking in the 50's and 60's, filmmakers have found creative ways to utilize color as a tool in storytelling. Often utilized as a storytelling device to tell something more about the story that cannot be conveyed by the performances alone, color can be used to translate emotions, imbue symbolism, and have a psychological impact on the audience. In this double feature, we discuss two films, The Florida Project (2017) directed by Sean Baker and Vertigo (1958) directed by Alfred Hitchcock and how both directors use color in significant ways to help build the emotional resonance of their stories.

Genre is a term that sets a framework of expectations for an audience based on themes, aesthetic qualities, and narrative characteristics that help to categorize a film’s visual language and storytelling approach. Throughout the development of genre over the years, filmmakers have utilized techniques to subvert genre expectations by bending narratives between multiple generic frameworks. In this episode, we take a look at how two films, Bones and All (2022) and Parasite (2019) have achieved extraordinary results by taking unexpected risks with the bending of two or more genres into their stories.

We also cover the Independent Spirit Award nominations and cast our predictions for three more Academy Award categories: Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

Violence has been depicted on screen since movies were first made, and the contexts within which it has been portrayed have changed over the course of history. In this double feature, we discuss the ethics of violence in cinema and the moral justifications (or lack thereof) that can be associated with these depictions, specifically often within the war genre of films. The two films that compose this discussion are All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) and Inglorious Basterds (2009), two war-related films that use violence as the platform for storytelling within very different tones and approaches.

Many of our greatest films have derived from adaptations of books and other source materials begging the inevitable question of whether the book was better than the movie. This is often relative to the faithfulness of the screenplay to its source, but there are many other films that thrive on its ability to differentiate themselves from their original material and use the medium of film to capture the essence of the source using filmmaking tools and techniques. These types of adaptation often question the idea of adaptation themselves, and the two films we discuss are Adaptation. (2002) and Clue (1985). Both films utilize filmmaking and screenwriting techniques to capture the essence of their unique source materials but translate them in very different ways.

Psycho (1960) directed by Alfred Hitchcock is often regarded as one of the most important contributions to the genre of horror filmmaking in the history of cinema. With widespread impact on how horror movies have been made over the past 60+ years in addition to an indelible mark on pop culture, Psycho continues to be regarded as a yardstick against which all other horror films are measured. As the winner of our Halloween & Horror October bracket, we review Hitchcock’s masterpiece as well as discuss its legacy within the horror genre to celebrate the Halloween season.

Horror films have historically acted as artistic expressions and reflections of internal fears within the society of the time it was made. In essence, they show us what we fear the most as a product of the society and culture we live in, and act as the medium for illuminating these fears. In this History of Horror double feature discussion, we will analyze two films, The Thing (1982) and Train to Busan (2016), and how the fears of their present conditions guide their relative eras of cinematic horror expression.

The “Obsessed Artist” is a character we have seen portrayed throughout the history of cinema. The character strives to perfect their craft by any means necessary, often leading to their own mental, psychological, and physical self-destruction. The story can be both aspirational and dangerous, as the obsession for perfection comes with consequences. Black Swan and Whiplash embody the “Obsessed Artist” through their lead protagonists, each of which pushes themselves beyond the limits of their minds and bodies in order to become not just great, but the best. In this episode, we examine why these types of stories are so powerful on screen and compare the arcs of each obsessed artist.

Animation is a medium that can sometimes be overlooked for its cinematic value in comparison to live-action films, but it is actually an art form that presents creative opportunities for unique stories to be told. In this episode, we discuss two films that utilize animation in unique ways to enhance the filmmaker’s vision. The first is Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) and the second is Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2022). Both films utilize stop-motion animation, although in different contexts, and we analyze how the films are strengthened by these unique decisions.

For our first double feature review, we are looking at low-budget filmmaking through the lens of two films, the first chosen by The Rolling Tape team, Barry Jenkins’ 2016 Best Picture-winning film, Moonlight, and the second selected by our listeners, The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Both films are early directorial entries that tell intimate, personal stories under a $2 million budget. We discuss the themes and impacts of each, and how they utilize their low budgets creatively to maximize their production value.

In this episode, we discuss everything from the revival of Ke Huy Quan’s career, to the brilliance of Michelle Yeoh’s kung-fu skills, to verse-jumping butt plugs. We talk about what made Everything Everywhere All At Once such a widespread success and its prospects for further acclaim as we head into awards season.
