Babe, wake up, it’s an A24 week! With an absolutely stacked soundtrack, crises of identity, and surrealist nightmare fuel that feels like it was ripped straight out of the 90s, director Jane Schoenbrun held nothing back with her sophomore feature, I Saw the TV Glow. The Pink Opaque is the perfect canvas for us to get into self-discovery, the media we latched onto as kids, and the line between nostalgia and getting stuck in the past. This one seems to be a little divisive, so let us know what you think!

Though it may have been overshadowed by giant sandworms at the box office, Julio Torres did not hold back with his directorial debut, Problemista. In typical A24 fashion, the imagery is quirky and surreal, the characters are complex, and the sense of childlike wonder is unmistakable. Join us as we talk navigating the mazes of parental pressures, soul-crushing customer service interactions, and bureaucratic nightmares that make up adulthood. Because amidst all that, aren't we all just trying to find someone who understands us? Who knows, maybe we’re all just dead instead… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This week, we’re exploring one of the latest A24 films to hit the big screen, The Zone of Interest. Rarely do movies give us the chance to talk about issues that are so relevant to current events, but Jonathan Glazer ensures that we have context to do just that. Join the conversation as we discuss how it feels to be in a home with the commandant of Auschwitz, Glazer’s unconventional filming techniques, and allegories to modern conflicts that are impossible to ignore. Offering powerful reminders about what turning a blind eye truly looks like, The Zone of Interest makes it clear it’s up to us to heed the warning.

It can be difficult to discuss a film with such volatile subject matter, but May December was so thought-provoking that we knew we wanted to talk about it. Rather than retell the story that inspired the movie, May December examines the aftermath of a “scandal” (read: felony) and encourages us to approach the situation in front of us with empathy. Listen along as Carmela and Josh tackle morality in the characters, the importance of words said between the lines, and fame that can result from tabloid-worthy crimes. What do you think about true crime celebrities?
