    Now this one, this is the big one. It's Brooklyn, the 2015 immigrant drama that saw Saoirse Ronan earn her second Oscar nomination and lay out the template for her movie star career. It's also a movie your hosts like very, very, much. We get into why this is such an endearing picture, along with tangents on Oscars new and old, Florence Pugh, Harry Potter, Brie Larson, Actorle, the literary afterlives of the novel, and the ugly side of black metal.

    After several years negotiating the shift into adulthood via a series of supporting roles, Saoirse Ronan made her triumphant return to stardom by headlining a serious drama at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival which would assert her status as a respected actor and set the course for the rest of her career. This is... not that movie. This is Stockholm, Pennsylvania, a misguided kidnapping drama which was her other attempt at reintroducing herself as a dramatic lead, that also played that Sundance, but would have a hasty release and be quickly forgotten. It's a weird one gang!

    Ballad of a Small Player
    Nov 16 2025
    This week we're back to talking Colin with the second of his two starring roles of 2025. This time, he's playing a gambler at the end of his rope in Edward Berger's Ballad of a Small Player, a potential Oscar play for Netflix that received a chilly reception on the festival circuit and, at time of recording, appears to have been quietly dumped, much to the consternation of both your hosts (this movie's good!). Listen in for a lot of James Bond talk, a lot of Tilda Swinton talk, an awards season check-in, a debate over this film's use of Macau as a setting, and an attempt to figure out why they bend the cards in baccarat (spoilers: it's way dumber than you could ever imagine).
