For Episode 462, Dan Bayer, Will Mavity, and I are here to preview the 2025 AFI Fest in Los Angeles, including the world premieres of “Song Sung Blue” and “The SpongeBob Movie: Search For Squarepants,” and discuss the 2025 Critics’ Choice Documentary Award (CCDA) nominations. For this week’s poll, for the release of “Frankenstein” in theaters this weekend, we’re asking, “Which Is Your Favorite Guillermo del Toro Film?” We also reveal the winner of last week’s poll, where we asked “Which Is Your Favorite Luca Guadagnino Film?” for the release of “After The Hunt.” We also share our reactions to the trailers for “Send Help,” “The Secret Agent,” “Rebuilding,” “Keeper,” answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Thank you all for listening, supporting, subscribing, and voting. Enjoy!
