Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Zendaya/Robert Pattinson Collaborative Draft
Q: How will you balance actor-focused versus film-focused picks in a collaborative draft?
They acknowledge the tension between choosing strong performances and strong films, aiming to extract the performance while still valuing the film's quality, and they use a structured veto system to test different configurations.
The Noah Baumbach Collaborative Draft
Q: What makes Frances Ha stand out as Baumbach's best film in your view?
They argue that Frances Ha unlocks Baumbach's maximal output with Greta Gerwig, showcasing authentic dialogue, sharp NYC atmosphere, and a kinetic, episodic structure that feels like micro-scripts—making it feel intimate and genuinely Baumbach.
The Harrison Ford Collaborative Draft
Q: Should Harrison Ford have an Academy Award?
Many believe he deserves at least more nominations, with some suggesting he should be recognized for his significant contributions to film.
