The 96th Academy Awards, Part 1: Best Picture Roundtable

"Spread The Word" Documentarian Amy Nicholson returns to the show for another totemic work of direct cinema, the Maysles Brothers & Charlotte Zwerin's profoundly bleak portrait of door to door Bible sellers, Salesman (1969). We'll talk The Beatles, acting careers, and the true star of Amy's most recent film, Happy Campers.Hosts:Michael NataleTwitterInstagramLetterboxd Tom LorenzoTwitterInstagramLetterboxd Producer:Kyle LamparTwitterInstagram Guest:Amy NicholsonTwitterWebsite Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

"This is the love every woman lives for...the love every man would die for!" Robert Bellissimo returns to the show, this time to discuss the woefully under-discussed Ophuls masterwork, Letter from an Unknown Woman. There's Fontaine, Jourdan, and much more Return of Swamp Thing talk than you might imagine. Hosts:Michael NataleTwitterInstagramLetterboxd Tom LorenzoTwitterInstagramLetterboxd Producer:Kyle LamparTwitterInstagram Guest:Robert BellissimoYouTube Music by: Mike Natale Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

"The wedding night, the anticipation, the kiss, the knife, BUT ABOVE ALL... THE SUSPENSE!" David Bluvband (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Chris Gethard Show) joins the show once more, this time to tackle the one and only film directed by the legendary Charles Laughton, 1955's The Night of the Hunter. Hosts:Michael NataleTwitterLetterboxd Tom LorenzoTwitterLetterboxd Producer:Kyle LamparTwitter Guest:David BluvbandSubstack Music by Mike Natale Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

"We must be doing something right to last 200 years!" Editor Andrew Daniels turns this duo act into a trio as we take a look at Robert Altman's 1975 satirical American epic Nashville. Get ready for Bicentennial talk, favorite character conversations, and a lot more references to R.E.M. than you'd expect. Hosts:Michael NataleTwitterInstagramLetterboxd Tom LorenzoTwitterInstagramLetterboxd Producer:Kyle LamparTwitterInstagram Guest:Andrew Daniels Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

"You-ho-to-ho!"We love talking animation on the show (Mike and Kyle do, at least).

"We all go a little mad sometimes" Patrick Cotnoir (The George Lucas Talk Show) checks in to You're Missing Out once more, this time to discuss Alfred Hitchcock's hugely influential horror film, Psycho (1960). And of course, it wouldn't be a Patrick Cotnoir episode without some Star Wars ephemera talk. So we'll also be discussing the 1985 made-for-TV movie Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, which is arguably slightly less influential than Psycho.Watch the episode on YouTube hereHosts:Michael NataleTwitterInstagramLetterboxd Tom LorenzoTwitterInstagramLetterboxd Producer:Kyle LamparTwitterInstagram Guest:Patrick CotnoirTwitterThe George Lucas Talk Show Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

We're taking our own "movie trip through filmland" as we take a look at the 2023 National Film Registry inductees. Livestreamed on YouTube mere hours after the list was announced, hosts Mike Natale and Tom Lorenzo sat down with friend of the show Anthony DiCaprio (standing in for usual producer Kyle Lampar). Only Anthony knew what films were selected as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress this year. You'll hear Mike and Tom's real-time reactions to the selections, including a few films they themselves submitted to the NFR for consideration.
