Summary

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Dan Bayer & Daniel Howat. Today, we are reviewing the newest film from the Academy Award-winning directing duo Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, "Nyad" starring Annette Bening, Jodie Foster & Rhys Ifans. After their award-winning documentaries "Free Solo" and "The Rescue," the two filmmakers have made their first narrative feature for Netflix, and it carries over many shared themes and elements as the previous stories they've told. What did we think of the story, the performances, the crafts, and how Elizabeth and Jimmy made the transition over to narrative feature filmmaking? Please tune in as we discuss these talking points, the film's awards potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy!
