Summary

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Lauren Cohen & Brendan Hodges. Today, we're discussing the film that has garnered more buzz on the independent film scene than any other this year, and that's Celine Song's remarkable directorial debut "Past Lives," starring Greta Lee, Teo Yoo & John Magaro. Making its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, the small A24 romance movie has captured audiences' hearts and is already generating a ton of Oscar buzz. Please tune in to find out what we thought of the story, the themes, how Song presents each character, the performances, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
