For Episode 157, Michael Schwartz, Casey Lee Clark, Cody Dericks, Dan Bayer & myself have come to the point you have all been waiting for...Phase One (The Fall Film Festivals). The 76th Venice Film Festival starts August 28th, Telluride begins on the 30th and we're off to the races from there with TIFF and NYFF following in the coming days afterward. We discuss where things stand now, where we think things are heading, what surprises are in store and we also discuss the trailers for some of the films which will be making their premieres over the next couple of days including "Marriage Story," "Motherless Brooklyn," "The Report" (Which premiered at Sundance) and "Bombshell" (which remains an unknown at this time). We also answer your fan questions, go over the polls and more! Strap yourselves in...it's going to be a bumpy ride. *Be sure to order a copy of Cinephile - A Card Game played here on today’s episode here: https://www.cinephilegame.com Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
