Summary

For our second podcast review this week, Josh Parham & Danilo Castro join me to discuss Paul Schrader's much-anticipated follow-up to his Oscar-nominated film "First Reformed," "The Card Counter" starring Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, Tye Sheridan, and Willem Dafoe. After premiering at the Venice Film Festival last week, the film is now playing in theaters. Nearly fifty years into his long and distinguished career, Schrader is still exploring familiar territory found throughout his filmography while pushing himself in new directions. How does his latest come together? Tune in below to find out what we thought of the performances, story, craft elements, and more. Enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
