Thoughts from your host…
You would think after so many years of hosting this podcast, I would become accustomed to the way one years movies spill over into the next years shows. It’s the way it goes – the way it has always gone.
Whether we podcasted about C’MON C’MON, ZERO DARK THIRTY, A SINGLE MAN, PHANTOM THREAD, INHERENT VICE, or others – every year begins by keeping one foot planted in the last.
In some ways, I’m happy to do it since it keeps the circus in town just a little while longer. The clock doesn’t have to strike midnight, last call doesn’t have to arrive…we don’t have to go home and we can stay here.
In other ways, it can be hard to start eating right with a pantry full of Christmas candy.
No, I’m not used to it, and I may never be…but I always make the best of it.
Making the best of it is pretty easy when I have guests like Jolie to call on. Her perspective on films like these end of year holdovers is always so enthusiastic and insightful. She shows up to talk about the smallest titles like we are about to discuss the next great Best Picture Winner. I’m a lucky host to call such a guest my friend.
It’s also pretty easy when the cluster of films that arrives at this time of year are as great as they always are. Why wouldn’t we want to keep going back?
So here we are, almost into February and no remote interest in discussing a 2024 film yet. It’s admittedly strange, but a tradition that I don’t see going away any time soon. Remind me I said that in 2025
