Sunday Scaries: When Will Hollywood Figure Out Freddy and Jason Like They’ve Figured Out Michael?
The Sunday Scaries are upon us once again! Yes, as the weekend concludes, most of us feel an oncoming sense of anticipatory dread about the week ahead. Anxiety about work manifests itself into a feeling that’s known as the Sunday Scaries. However, we at Awards Radar are here to combat that, by taking back the […] More

Awards Radar Community: Thoughts on ‘Halloween Kills’ and ‘The Last Duel’ This Weekend
This weekend, a pair of very high profile films have opened. One is a potential Academy Award player from Ridley Scott, who has another Oscar hopeful out later this year. It reunites Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, both as actors and writers. The other? Well, it’s a horror sequel (no shade to that, obviously). Yes, […] More

Interview: Demián Bichir Reflects on the Ten Year Anniversary of ‘A Better Life’
Demián Bichir is an actor you just want good things for. A longtime working actor for years, he got his breakthrough in part when he was cast in Che, but it was truly when he landed A Better Life that everything changed. Not only did he get raves for his performance in the film, he […] More

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 […] More

Film Review: ‘Halloween Kills’ is, For Better And Worse, a Horror Sequel
When David Gordon Green and Danny McBride unleashed Halloween on the world back in 2018, it was a surprise. After all, the property was dormant and seemingly used up. They found a way to distill the series down to only what works, which essentially was Michael Myers butchering people, Jamie Lee Curtis, and the classic […] More

Film Review: ‘The Last Duel’ Mixes a Critique of Misogyny with Period Action
On paper, The Last Duel should be a massive misfire. A Fourteenth Century set epic that takes on the #MeToo movement? Especially one largely made by men? Sure, that’ll work. In fact, this film probably should have been a spectacular disaster. Instead, the movie has a deft point to make, one that it hammers home […] More

Welcome back to my Home Movies! Today, we have our best slate in some time. Truly, this week has something for everyone.

The Best Films and Performances of the 59th New York Film Festival
The 59th New York Film Festival is now in the books. After opening up with Joel Coen‘s The Tragedy of Macbeth and seeing Jane Campion‘s The Power of the Dog as its centerpiece, NYFF wrapped up a few days ago with Pedro Almodóvar‘s Parallel Mothers as its closer. Held both in person and virtually, the […] More

Interview: Jason Isaacs Gets Into the Challenges and Rewards of ‘Mass’
Jason Isaacs is often looked at as someone who plays a heavy character, even a villainous one. In Mass, he’s certainly playing someone intense and with a heavy heart, but it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen him do before. It also won’t shock you, if you know my thoughts on the film, that he’s absolutely […] More

Awards Radar Community: What Are Your ‘No Time to Die’ Reactions?
No Time to Die is in theaters. That alone is a bit of an accomplishment. Consider how many times it was delayed last year, along with the anticipation that had grown for Daniel Craig‘s final turn as James Bond. Plus, the 007 movie was speculated at one point to be potentially getting sold to a […] More

Film Review: ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ is a Supremely Entertaining Mix of Old and New
A third Ghostbusters film in the original franchise never seemed like it would happen. Fits and starts over the years amounted to nothing, and when the reboot Ghostbusters was made (which I, for the record, quite like), it only seemed further off in the distance. While the first entry is a classic, rightly so, the […] More

NYFF Film Review: ‘Parallel Mothers’ Sees Pedro Almodóvar and Penélope Cruz Again Navigating Motherhood
Brace yourself for a bit of cinematic heresy: I run hot and cold on Pedro Almodóvar. Now, I always appreciate what he’s up to, but as often as I’m bowled over by him, I’m often left appreciating more than liking his films. Frankly, something like The Skin I Live In or I’m So Excited, decidedly […] More
