Joey Magidson
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 205, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with fellow co-host Steve Prusakowski continuing to handle the behind the scenes work during Emmy season. This week, it’s an accounting of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival! Yes, it’s TIFF talk time. I go over the films I saw at the fest, mention more about the movies I saw previously at the Telluride Film Festival that made the trek, and we discuss how it all impacts the awards race. Follow along with my festival reviews here, as well as check out here how my Oscar predictions may or may not have been impacted. We also have questions from you all, as well as set up this season’s fantasy movie draft…
As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 205th one to date (here’s to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!
Joey isn’t disclosing that we had actually recorded a podcast recently where we both debated, and… I won. We had a great debate. I did a great job. It was maybe my best podcast appearance ever. After we finished recording, I saw so many polls – one poll was 92 to 7, another was 86 to 3, I won a poll by 80 to 20, I saw one that said 90 to 7, 90%, 60%, 72%, 71%, and 89% – the polls are showing I won the debate so much.
Joey wants a second podcast debate because he lost. He wants it because he lost. Will I do another? I don’t know, I have to think about it. But, if you won the debate, I start to think, “why should I do another debate?” He immediately said “we want anothe-” that’s, you know what happens? When you’re a prizefighter, and you lose, you immediately want a new fight. You want a rematch! The guy who won, is sort of, happy, and, uh, thinkin’ about it.
