   A Look at the Best Actress / Best Supporting Actress Fields - #312

   For episode 312, I’m joined once again by Kate Schraeder as co-host, back from vacation, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. This is a somewhat shorter episode, as Kate was dealing with jet lag and I had just gotten back from a deeply embargoed screening. Still, we did something fun, as we looked at two Oscar categories! Today, it's Best Actress (my rankings are here (https://awardsradar.com/best-actress/)) and Best Supporting Actress (my rankings are here (https://awardsradar.com/best-supporting-actress/)). Those categories lead to us also once again singing the praises of Mike Leigh's Tender Loving Care (my rave review is here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/05/telluride-film-festival-review-the-need-to-take-care-of-each-other-fuels-mike-leighs-potential-farewell-tender-loving-care/)). Next week, it'll be Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. Throw in some spooky season chatter as well as a quick discussions of what we've seen, led by Whalefall (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/10/14/film-review-whalefall-is-a-survival-thriller-with-big-emotions/)), and it's a very solid episode... As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 312th one to date (here’s to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here (https://awardsradar.com/category/podcast-2/)) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week (or close to it), so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening… or watching!

   #311: Joey and Adam Run Down the Big Debut for 'Artificial' and Talk New Releases Like 'The Social Reckoning'

   For episode 311, I’m joined by Adam Patla as this week’s co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. This time around, the New York Film Festival is in its final stages, so we discuss some of the titles I've seen there since last episode, like Artificial (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/10/06/nyff-film-review-artificial-is-a-funny-yet-also-terrifying-look-at-the-irresponsibility-that-could-lead-to-our-ai-doom/)) and Behemoth! (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/10/03/nyff-film-review-pedro-pascal-gets-a-grand-solo-in-tony-gilroys-behemoth/)). We also get into The Social Reckoning (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/10/07/film-review-the-social-reckoning-makes-a-compelling-case-as-a-worthy-companion-piece-to-the-social-network/)) and Musk (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/10/08/film-review-watching-musk-is-an-infuriating-yet-essential-experience/)), as well as more about You Can See Everything (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/07/telluride-film-festival-review-you-can-see-everything-is-one-of-the-most-jaw-dropping-documentaries-ever-made/)), while Adam tells us about Whalefall. It's a solid episode, which avoids spoilers for all these flicks, for what that's worth...

   Joey and Kate Talk About the New York Film Festival, Potential 'Digger' Audience Reactions, and More - #310

   For episode 310, I’m joined once again by Kate Schroeder as this week’s co-host, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes and, of course, handling TV Topics. This episode features, in large part, Kate and I talking about the New York Film Festival. We compare NYFF to other festivals, as well as discuss what we've seen this year. For me, I get into Bucking Fastard (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/25/nyff-film-review-kate-and-rooney-mara-are-an-hypnotic-novelty-in-the-otherwise-too-thinly-drawn-bucking-fastard/)), Godzilla Minus Zero (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/27/nyff-film-review-godzilla-minus-zero-is-a-sequel-thats-bigger-and-often-better-in-nearly-every-way/)), Misty Green (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/28/nyff-film-review-misty-green-is-an-imperfect-yet-compelling-character-study-from-chris-rock-with-a-breakthrough-star-turn-from-rosalind-eleazar/)) NAZA (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/10/01/nyff-film-review-naza-is-a-chilling-account-of-investigative-journalism-during-wartime/)), and Paper Tiger (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/26/nyff-film-review-paper-tiger-is-a-james-gray-masterpiece-with-phenomenal-turns-from-adam-driver-scarlett-johansson-and-miles-teller/)). Kate talks Making Marie Antoinette (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/29/nyff-film-review-eleanor-coppola-is-a-masterful-observer-in-the-layered-documentary-making-marie-antoinette/)) and Rose (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/22/nyff-film-review-sandra-huller-soldiers-on-in-the-riveting-rose/)). I also chime in on Primetime (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/23/film-review-primetime-features-an-electric-robert-pattinson-channeling-the-grotesqueries-of-chris-hansen-and-to-catch-a-predator/)) as well as talk more about Digger (reviewed here (https://awardsradar.com/2026/09/29/film-review-tom-cruise-and-alejandro-g-inarritu-swing-for-the-fences-with-the-fascinating-misfire-digger/)). The Digger conversation is largely about potential audience reactions, leading to some CinemaScore chatter. Throw in some of your questions and it's another strong festival season episode. Kate will be gone next episode, but back afterwards, so stay tuned to see who joins me next week...
