For Episode 463, Megan Lachinski, Dan Bayer, Alyssa Christian, Tom O’Brien, and I are here to recap the 2025 AFI Fest in Los Angeles, including the world premiere of “Song Sung Blue” and “The SpongeBob Movie: Search For Squarepants,” how films such as “Jay Kelly,” “The Testament Of Ann Lee” and “Train Dreams” played on a rewatch. For this week’s poll, for the expansion of “Bugonia” to more theaters this weekend, we’re asking, “Which Is Your Favorite Yorgos Lanthimos Film?” We also reveal the winner of last week’s poll, in which we asked, “Which Is Your Favorite Guillermo del Toro Film?” for the theatrical release of “Frankenstein” (arriving on Netflix on November 7th). We also share our reactions to the trailer for “Crime 101,” answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Thank you all for listening, supporting, subscribing, and voting. Enjoy!
