This week, with the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice nominations out, we take a look at the nominations and run through some movies we need to at least mention before awards shows start hitting.
Some of the nominations are a little crazy, some are obvious, and we also wanted to cover a few more of the movies getting a lot of attention before we hit you with our Best of the Year lists.
It's a wild ride, tune in and find out what movies you better be aware of, and which ones we don't actually think are that great despite everyone talking them up.

This week we're reviewing Nomadland and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, but we couldn't let an episode this close to various awards go by without some commentary on the crazy world that is this year in film.
I'll also give some hints on what I'm nominating for the Critics' Choice Awards (nominations revealed on the 8th)... and what I'm not.

We're catching up a little this week, and we're covering The Little Things, but also Wonder Woman, The Midnight Sky, and the Critics Choice Super Awards.
We're actually particularly interested in what people though of the Super Awards, especially with the bigger awards season on the horizon.

We've got some quick reviews of recent and upcoming releases this week, but a listener email sent us down the rabbit hole of revisiting our picks for the best films of last year. That's always a scary trip, but it worked out well.
We tackle Mank, briefly, and Soul, The Midnight Sky, and more.

We're taking a look at Freaky this week as theaters slow to a grinding halt, but we'll also give you a quick review of Hillbilly Elegy before we fully cover it, and we'll be looking at other things you can watch while you wait for films to decide their fates.

We check in this week with Honest Thief and wonder at the extent to which Liam Neeson can pull this one together. A somewhat interesting premise isn't given the script it deserves, but with little available in theaters... well, we'll let you know if this is worth your time.
We're also giving a rundown of some of your non-theater options, including some great films and shows that are hitting on streaming services. There's a lot of good stuff out now or on the way.

As more and more movies get pushed back, options that aren't streaming are harder to come by, leading to the infinite cycle of reasons people aren't in theaters. With that, two titles from Netflix are among the biggest possibilities. Enola Holmes and Hubie Halloween offer very different fare, but at least they're options, and one of them is actually quite good.

As the movie world puts everyone in a strange limbo of theater openings mixed with release date pushback, we head to New Mutants to let you know if daring theaters is worth your time.
A strange, underhyped film that isn't getting a lot of attention post-release, but is it any good?

Tenet finally shows up, but the film that doesn't want you to know what it's about hasn't managed to get people swarming against the pandemic. Is it worth heading to the theater? You can catch the curious case of Bill&Ted returning to the screen decades later at home or in the theater, but is it worth either option?
We'll let you know where to put your money.
