I enjoy this podcast hearing all the new films, predictions and film festival reviews.
A spoiler warning would be appreciated, as this happens constantly. We haven’t all seen the movies being discussed!
I really enjoy Screen Talk. The industry insights, the banter, the inside baseball stuff - it’s all great. But for the love of God, please remember that most of your audience hasn’t seen half of these movies yet before casually dropping major/minir story beats like you’re reading from the Wikipedia plot summary.
You guys just flippantly spoiled key moments from both Marty Supreme and The Perfect Neighbor - the latter not just vague details, but literally the fates of both main parties. C’mon. more
Granted, I do skip over most or many of the interviews, but Thompson and Lattanzio provide outstanding perspectives and analyses on a consistent basis. Their top movies of the ‘70s episode is great, and such an intelligent rejoinder to IndieWire’s own…odd in-house list. (Was particularly happy for the callouts to Klute and, surprise, Interiors.) Great podcast hosts.
Anne Thompson has a way with words such that she can lull you into trusting nearly everything she says. Thompson has years of experience in the covering the Oscar race and this podcast is the perfect platform for her.
Thompson’s co-pilot Ryan Lattanzio serves as an interesting foil, providing a younger perspective with a flair for LGBTQ+ content.
I’m a politics guy with an appreciation for film: these two represent different personal perspectives, while sharing their reporting and analysis in a way that’s relatable without being watered down. Most of all - they are rooting for an art form to succeed culturally, not just focusing on the dollar!
