For Episode 457, Ema Sasic, Dan Bayer, Giovanni Lago and I are back from the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival to deliver our super-sized recap of all the films we saw and what impact they will have on the Oscar race, including this year’s People’s Choice Award Winners (You can also listen to our previous podcasts recapping the Venice and Telluride Film Festivals). We reveal the winner of last week’s poll, where we asked “Which Film Do You Think Is Going To Win The 2025 TIFF People’s Choice Award?” For this week’s poll, we’re asking, “Which Films Are You Most Excited To See From The 2025 Toronto International Film Festival?” We also share our reactions to the trailers for “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” “Christy,” “Song Sung Blue,” “Nouvelle Vague,” answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Thank you all for listening, supporting, subscribing, and voting. Enjoy!
