Film critics and award voters tend to have a particular taste when it comes to the films they like and don’t like. Each year we get a clear vision of what they really are passionate about and sometimes those picks just don’t connect with us. We’re here to discuss those films.
Other topics this week include Paramount+’s rollout, upcoming Star Wars and Marvel shows, and our thoughts on some upcoming collaborations between Ari Aster & Joaquin Phoenix and David Fincher & Michael Fassbender.
Coming Attractions: Before we get into the award-winning/nominated movies we don’t like, let’s discuss one winner that insiders have seemed to turn on but we still love anyway. That film is Gladiator. (00:00)
