Episode notes
Flipping the first few pages on that crisp calendar symbolizes the start of something new (no toxic mom group drama here!), including a fresh start, a much needed detox, and another exciting Criterion Challenge underway. It also means an entirely new slate of films to anticipate, which Sophia and Nick highlight on today’s new episode! They discuss everything from imminent releases, like Send Help and Emerald Fennell’s bold Wuthering Heights adaptation; to blockbuster sequels and adaptations, like Shrek 5, Dune: Part III, and Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey. Curious to learn about what could be potential 2027 Oscar bound films—ahem, The Social Network sequel! Ruben Östund takes to the skies with a mega cast! Tune in for more info on these movies, dates for current awards season players with expanded releases and more!
