On the 68th AwardsWatch Oscar podcast I am joined by Kristy Puchko, Managing Editor of Pajiba and we dig into what we saw at the fall festivals, what we liked and didn’t like with Kristy talking a bit about her recent trip to Fantastic Fest.
We land on a long conversation about A Star Is Born, talking about elements both good and bad and the differences between festival audiences and audiences at large.
Then we move into talk about the year of ‘skater’ movies including Skate Kitchen, Mid90s and how much we both love Minding the Gap, how great Hereditary is (and what it’s like to sit next to Kristy at a movie) and that Toni Collette should be a real Oscar contender.
We also talk at length about stories with female and queer perspective including Eighth Grade and the upcoming Can You Ever Forgive Me? and the fantastic performances from Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant.
Kristy gets super excited to talk about The Favourite, most especially the costumes (which makes sense comes from a fashion maven such as herself).
Making sure we get some Oscar talk in there, we talk about the now defunct Popular Oscar category and why it was a bad idea.
This podcast runs 1h 50m with music.
Opening music: “Sulk” by TR/ST
Closing music: “New York City By Day” by Thomas Newman from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan
