Welcome to A24k Gold, the podcast where we celebrate the independent studio that has redefined modern filmmaking and built a legendary filmography: A24. We're a community of fans dedicated to exploring the films that make the studio so unique. In each episode, we randomly select a title from their library and go all in, debating its artistic merits and cultural impact. Join us as we explore the hidden gems and undeniable classics from the revolutionary studio, all leading to one ultimate question: Is this film A24 essential?
How far would you go to get your piece of the pie? That’s the question 2019’s Low Tide wants you to consider, but is it A24 Essential? Join Darren, Nick, Amanda, and Kailyn as they discuss this little-seen film and determine whether it flew under the radar because it’s a sleeper hit or just a flat-out snoozefest. Then, join us as the wheel decides our next pick, which will finally be a more populist film…right? (Crosses fingers!) Support the show

(IYKYK) Find out if Nick, Kailyn, Darren, and Amanda think the enigmatic film The Eternal Daughter (2022) should be preserved *eternally* as an A24kGold Essential, then stick around to see what The Wheel will make us watch next!
