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?

We’re back with the first catch up of 2024! After a brief intermission, Josh and Carmela are ready to tackle the new year. We’re getting into some housekeeping, like Oscar nominations and our upcoming collaboration, and as per usual, it’s hard to not fall into discussions of our looming 30th birthdays. To make sure we get off on the right foot, we close out with reflecting on the best parts (and movies, obviously) of 2023. We have some big plans for 2024, so we hope you’ll stick along for the ride!
