Also in physical media news, may I present the one and only purchase I made during the Criterion sale. Of course, this one too was inspired by a recent podcast. Hear me and @imhoreviews.bsky.social ease on into THE WIZ this coming week on Close Watch!!

I’m seeing GOOD FORTUNE and THE BLACK PHONE 2 tonight, but with just 10 weeks left in the year, these are the films I’m likely to see (balancing ones I’ll see with my kids, personal picks, and awards contenders). What’s missing, friends?!

This promotional image highlights an episode of Franchise Detours from Crooked Table Productions focused on Before Midnight, the third film in Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy. The collage features the podcast's logo, two stills from the film showcasing Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, and the Crooked Table Productions logo. It also includes a photo of a smiling man in a Pink Floyd shirt and orange sweatband, likely representing the episode’s guest or host, tying together the film discussion and the personality behind the mic.
