Summary

Joe and Chris are back from the Toronto International Film Festival and it’s time to unpack everything we saw. Though we recorded prior to the announcement of this year’s People’s Choice Award winner, we talk at length about this year’s triumphant Hamnet and the word on the ground about the runners up as well. We discuss our favorites of the festival (neither of which world premiered at the festival), our mutual least favorite film Rental Family, and standout performances from the likes of Amanda Seyfried, Sir Ian McKellen, Josh O’Connor, Ethan Hawke, and many more!
