In front of a live audience at the TIFF Industry conference, I was joined onstage by Joel Edgerton, the star and executive producer of the lyrical new Netflix film Train Dreams. We talked about that gorgeous movie but also so much more, from how he and his brother Nash started making movies together at home in Australia to what it felt like to be a "stowaway" on a Star Wars set early in his career to what he's learned from working for Kathryn Bigelow, Baz Luhrmann, Barry Jenkins and many more directing luminaries. Though he may be most famous as an actor, Joel frequently works as a writer, director and producer, continuing to collaborate with his friends from his early days in Australia and even his brother — five days before our conversation, Nash was on set as his brother's stunt double.

Katey reunites with her former Little Gold Men co-hosts David Canfield and Richard Lawson now that they’ve also wrapped up their time at Vanity Fair but remain very much in the thick of awards season. David, calling from Telluride, explains how Hamnet became such a sensation there while Richard, a veteran of the Venice Film Festival, explains why Jay Kelly may have met such a muted response there. They also indulge in a bit of nostalgia for their old podcast now that all three of them have left it— but we guarantee there are even bigger things ahead.

Joyce Eng joins her old podcast co-host Christopher Rosen as well as Katey to look at the slates for the streamers who are diving into the Oscar race. Most of them, yes, are Netflix titles, and some really promising ones at that. But Apple and Amazon both have intrigue ahead— including one of the biggest wild cards of the season.
Then Katey talks to Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg about their longtime directing partnership and how it led to The Studio, which has 23 Emmy nominations and pulls off the miracle of making the Golden Globes far more beautiful than they are in real life.

Live onstage at Televerse, I caught up with the Emmy winning host of Peacock's reality series The Traitors, which just wrapped production on its fourth season. While keeping mum about a few things, Cumming revealed plenty of secrets from within those castle walls, including the odd relationship he builds with the contestants, how he balances his work as a producer on the set as well as hosting, and what he gets to do in character as the show's host that he can't do anywhere else.
Subscribers to Prestige Junkie After Party can watch the full video of this conversation as well as the panel that came immediately before it, where I got to catch up with a truly all-star lineup of Traitors contestants: Bob the Drag Queen, Boston Rob Mariano, Cirie Fields, Kate Chastain, Parvati Shallow, and Phaedra Parks.

Tyler Coates joins Katey and Christopher Rosen to look at the slates for three indie labels owned by studios that all hope to stake their claim in this year's awards race. Searchlight Pictures, the only one of the three to ever win best picture, is hoping to win hearts with Rental Family, while Focus Features is going heavy on auteurs with Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia and Chloe Zhao's Hamnet. Meanwhile Sony Pictures Classics has a tried-and-true formula for getting their films in front of voters, and have a heavy historical drama, Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut, and much more.
The episode also includes Katey's conversation with Stephen Graham about his labor of love turned worldwide phenomenon, Adolescence. He calls the experience of making the show like working with a theater troupe, and talks about how he built the confidence to build the series around a series of astonishing single-takes, and why he thinks the show has hit such a nerve since it debuted on Netflix earlier this year.

David Canfield joins Katey and Chris to kick off our five-part fall preview, in which we take a close look at the lineups for every studio that has won best picture in the past 10 years. We're starting, naturally, with reigning best picture champion Neon, who shepherded Anora from Cannes breakout to best picture juggernaut, and are aiming to do it again this year. Can they continue their winning formula? Are they facing challenges from their fellow indie distributors? And can they finally get Elle Fanning the awards season respect she deserves? We get into it all, and much more. Don't forget that this week brings the launch of Prestige Junkie After Party, where you can get video versions of future episodes and lots of special bonus content.
