Awards Radar: The Podcast

AwardsRadar.com

Welcome to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor-In-Cheif Joey Magidson (that’s me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general. The show will obviously have an awards season slant to it, but we won’t forget about other movies and shows, that’s for sure!

    #270: Oscar Shortlists, the Academy Awards Moving to YouTube, and More

    For episode 270, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, the Oscar gods have given us plenty to dig into. Earlier this week, the shortlists in a dozen Academy Award categories were revealed (seen here), so we get into that. The Academy also announced that the Oscars will be moving from ABC to YouTube after the 100th ceremony, which leads to a spirited discussion. I've caught up with The Testament of Ann Lee (review forthcoming), while Myles has done so with If I Had Legs I'd Kick You and Sentimental Value (my rave review is here), each of which gets a back and forth. Throw in your questions and it's almost exclusively an awards season focused episode...

    #269: Golden Globe Nominations + Debating the Merits of 'Hamnet' and 'Jay Kelly'

    For episode 269, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode features us going over the Golden Globe nominations, as well as a quick mention of the Critics Choice nominations. The Globe nods are where we focus a lot, given how it's the highest profile precursor so far, if not the most Oscar related. Speaking of the Academy Awards, Myles has caught up with both Hamnet (reviewed by yours truly here out of the Telluride Film Festival) and Jay Kelly (which I raved about here out of Telluride), so we debate those films, one of which he's far more a fan of than the other. Plus, he's chimed in on Eternity (my review out of the Toronto International Film Festival is here), giving us a host of movies to talk about. Throw in some of your questions, as well as an opening rant about the whole Netflix/Warner Bros. Discovery purchase, and we have a full episode for you all.

    #268: 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' & a Look at the Early Precursors

    For episode 268, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, we're discussing the beginning of precursor season, alongside some heavy hitter films. I recently saw Avatar: Fire and Ash, as well as Ella McCay, which I detail to Myles. He's seen Zootopia 2, so he can tell me about that one, while he's caught up on Nouvelle Vague (reviewed out of the Toronto International Film Festival here by yours truly) and Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (which I also reviewed here out of TIFF). So, we finally have a more robust discussion of those two. Plus, the precursors have led to some predictions tinkering, which generates more chatter. Throw in your questions and we have a jam packed agenda/episode...

    #267: Giving Thanks as they Talk More About 'Train Dreams' & 'Wicked: For Good'

    For episode 267, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This is our Thanksgiving episode, featuring some Turkey Day awards season chatter. We also spend more time talking Train Dreams (my rave review is here) and Wicked: For Good (reviewed here), now that Myles has seen both. Throw in your questions and you can celebrate the holiday with some film talk, especially as the calendar gets set to turn over to December...

    #266:'Marty Supreme', Wicked: For Good', 'Keeper' & 'Predator: Badlands'

    For episode 266, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode is full of our takes on new/recent and upcoming releases. I've seen Marty Supreme, No Other Choice, and Wicked: For Good (reviewed here), while Myles has caught up with Keeper and Predator: Badlands. There's also your questions, as well as even some theater talk, making for a nice little agenda.

    Awards Radar Podcast #265: Joey Tells Myles About 'The Running Man' and 'Train Dreams' After Debating 'Bugonia' Alongside Your Questions

    For episode 265, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. Apologies for the short one this week, but Myles had to hit the road for a trip, so we squeezed the episode in where we could. This time around, we've both seen some things and are eager to discuss with the other, hence not delaying the recording. Myles has gotten around to Bugonia (my review is here, alongside my interview with writer Will Tracy here), while I've seen In Your Dreams (reviewed here), The Running Man (reviewed here), and Train Dreams (review to come soon). Throw in some questions and this episode, while under an hour, is still pretty packed...

    #264: Early Golden Globe Thoughts

    For episode 264, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode was recorded early last week, so forgive us not having any up to date news/topics. As such, we opted to, after a discussion of The Great Gatsby (it's fun, I promise), look at some very early Golden Globe predictions. You can find my updated predictions for the Globes here, but in the meantime, this does start to get the conversation going. Plus, we bring back a fun game that we teased last episode...

    #263: 'Frankenstein' & 'A House of Dynamite' as Part of the 2025 Halloween Spooktacular (Plus 'Blue Moon' and 'Song Sung Blue')

    Welcome back to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor Joey Magidson (that’s me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general. The show will obviously have an awards season slant to it, but we won’t forget about other movies and shows, that’s for sure!

    For episode 263, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode is our annual Halloween Spooktacular, though horror is hardly all that's on the agenda. Fright flicks include Frankenstein (which I reviewed here) as well as A House of Dynamite (reviewed here), though we also get into Blue Moon (reviewed here) and Song Sung Blue (reviewed here). Myles also has a horror edition of his Letterboxd game, so it's a very fun time.

    #262: 'Die My Love', Cult Horror Classics & 'Black Phone 2'

    For episode 262, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This episode comes one before our annual Halloween Spooktacular, though we're still talking horror movies. In particular, we're discussing some cult classics like A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge and the Sleepaway Camp franchise. We also get into Black Phone 2 (reviewed here) now that Myles has seen it, while I detail my experience with the Jennifer Lawrence film Die My Love (which I like a lot but have some specific comments about). Throw in some questions and it's a nice sized episode...

    #261: Comparing Oscar Predictions & 'Is This Thing On?'

    For episode 261, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, we discuss spooky season viewings a bit, but much more time is given to our Oscar predictions, as well as two big films. One has already opened in Roofman (my rave review out of TIFF is here), which Myles caught. The other is the New York Film Festival's Closing Night selection, Is This Thing On? (which I reviewed as my final NYFF piece for the year here). The early Academy Award picks come at the end of the episode, as these are Myles' first crack for the season, while I talk out what my next update will look like. Throw in some questions and it's a nice long episode for you all...
