Lost Podcast / Last Jedi
Saturday, January 20, 2018 at 10:30AM 
Surprise! The following podcast was lost after a recent move but has been recovered. This podcast was recorded over the Christmas break but the SAG part at least is hyper relevant to this weekend with the Screen Actors Guild Awards hitting tomorrow.
Nathaniel welcomes a particularly grouchy Nick Davis and new guest Teo Bugbee who had just pulled an all nighter to see Star Wars The Last Jedi. We discuss what the hell Laura Dern and Benicio del Toro are doing in it before moving on to SAG's "Outstanding Ensemble" nominees (and other ensemble films we like, too).
You can listen to the podcast here at the bottom of the post or download from iTunes. Continue the conversations in the comments, won't you?

Your podcasts are the best and one of the best ways to get through the dark winter months of January and February.
I knew Laura Dern wasn't a traitor once I saw she was wearing an actual halo. What an interesting costume choice.
I'd be thrilled if Get Out. Lady Bird, or Big Sick won (but especially the first two). Also super great: Beatriz at Dinner, The Salesman, and It.
Glad you guys are back again!
Teo is awesome. More Teo, please!
I don't really understand why people consider the casino planet scene a waste of time. It's the place where the film gets interestingly political about the arms merchants who prop up the First Order. It gives us John Boyega at his most charmingly comedic. It lets Kelly Marie Tran shine with more good stuff to do. Benecio gets to be a degenerate weirdo. And it plants the seed of those future-Jedi kids. All in all I prefer that subplot to a lot of the other bloated parts of the movie.
I'm glad that Nick suggested The Meyerowitz Stories for Ensemble. I agree that in that way it's one of the year's best films.
You guys have been much missed - thanks for this podcast.
So glad the podcast is back and Teo is great! More Teo please!
