Are You Screening? Podcast

It's that time again, and we're letting you in on our picks for the Best of the Year. Of course, we're also taking a look at Alita: Battle Angel, which surprised us a bit, perhaps both in good and bad ways.
It's been a weird year, and especially when it comes to trying to figure out the best film of the year. While the awards have largely gone to films like Green Book and Roma... we didn't really love those, so tune in and figure out what... well, what you should really be checking out... according to us.

The first Lego Movie took us by surprise, but does the sequel have what it takes to deliver on the expectations we have now?
We'll let you know if this one is worth your time, and we're going to catch you up on some more movies you need to know about as we head into the end of awards season.

We weren't especially looking forward to Glass, which makes it a great week to catch up on some more things as we near the end of awards season. While we both wish we could get behind Shyamalan, and considering that Split was not quite the disappointment we expected, we were glad to have a few more things to look at.

With awards season crashing down around us, we take a break for a warm and fuzzy film, The Upside.
We also take a look at the Critics' Choice Awards, where it looks like things are headed for further awards, and try to catch up on other films.
You might be surprised which way we go with this odd, January release, so don't miss out.

We're trying to catch up with a ton movies as we move further into award season, and this week we're looking at Aquaman, A Star is Born, and more. Plus, we'll look at the insanity that was The Golden Globes, and give our take on the wins that shocked the industry.

We're catching up this week from before the holidays, and since awards season has been especially challenging, we'll be catching up for weeks to come.
This week we zipped through several films, including: The Favourite, Blackkklansman, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and more.
In just a few days we will be back with several more awards hopefuls, and our response to the Golden Globes.

It's a strange mix of films as we head into the mad rush that will soon take over our podcast, and What They Had and Wildlife could hardly be more different undertakings. Still, as we will let you know, there is a certainly similarity to the films, though it isn't a positive.
As we get closer to the end of the year, and the dash to catch things that will be nominated for awards, are these two worth your time?
We'll let you know, and we will talk a little about the Golden Globe nominations.

First Man caused a stir in Toronto, though not on its merits exactly. But, people did seem to like it, for the most part. Bad Times at the El Royale somehow flew under most people's radar, despite an impressive cast. 
Are either of these worth your time? We'll let you know, and we'll update you on industry ramblings that catch our fancy.

It's time to once again ask if a Comic movie can pull in viewers who aren't familiar with the subject, and while that effort has seen success, it's a tricky game. Without even a hint of Spider-Man, Venom hopes that people will show up based off its cast and the basic fact that there is a comic out there somewhere... and we like comic movies.
This one is especially tricky, because Venom isn't really a good guy... exactly. Does this one manage to be worth your time? We'll let you know.

You have to love a year with some family-friendly creepiness hitting around Halloween, and Jack Black is taking another swing at the genre, but does The House with the Clock in its Walls deliver?
We'll let you know, and we'll give you a dose of industry news, sneak peeks, and general ramblings.
