I really enjoyed a deep-dive conversation w/ Eli Price about Spielberg's THE FABELMANS. I've thought of the film so often since I lost my father in December. (Fun fact: I mistakenly assumed we were only delivering audio! So I'm not particularly attuned to the camera here.)

Awesome! The more the merrier!

First 3 on your list are on point. I don’t know much about the last two. I’ve heard of Sentimental Value and Rental Family, but I didn’t cover them in the show because I stuck to films with a set release date.

Screen Nerds Podcast @screennerdspodcast.bsky.social · Aug 15

Top 5 films I'm most excited about next 3 months (Sept-Nov) in no particular order:

1) A Big Bold Beautiful Journey
2) The Smashing Machine
3) Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere
4) Nuremberg
5) 100 Meters

Two other honorable mentions:
Sentimental Value & Rental Family
