Our popular segment from Filmmaker Commentary called "What we've been watching" began to grow in length and kind of started to become its own show. So we have given that segment its own show. Even though we will still have a shorter version of that segment on Filmmaker Commentary. This version allows us to give it the room it deserves. Let us know what you think!

This controversial film, released in 2024, received great critical reviews and garnered two Oscar Nominations. The film is important because it demonstrates that one can still have an artistic voice without creating art that is actually propaganda, catering to an audience for likes.
