General #70: Top 10 New October Films

This month’s list is stuffed with 2018 films. That’s the way things are trending toward the end of the year. It’s also a tiny bit rushed due to some real life factors.

Statistics #82: Battle for Terra

A bit of a backward look at a movie that I have no idea how it got made.

Statistics #81: The Old Man & the Gun

It’s (maybe?) Robert Redford’s last movie. I try a new approach to the Statistics format that, in my mind, works out pretty well!

Review #120: Bohemian Rhapsody

It’s not out for a week, but I’ve got the inside scoop! Not really. I just responded to a free screening e-mail. But here are my spoiler-free Bohemian Rhapsody thoughts!

Review #119: Blindspotting and The Hate U Give

Two important films that touch on the same issue. There are some spoilers toward the end of the episode, but there is a bumper.

Review #118: Halloween

The umpteenth film in the franchise! But really, it’s just a sequel.

Reviews #117: Colette and The Sisters Brothers

Marginally misleading title, as there are 5 films under review this episode: the titular ones, as well as Private Life, Monsters and Men, and The Kindergarten Teacher. Enjoy my 300th episode of The Circle of Film Podcast! And if you listen to the outro music, it’s been adjusted!

Monsters and Men: 11:00

The Sisters Brothers: 24:45

The Kindergarten Teacher: 36:00

Private Life: 44:45

Colette: 54:00

Statistics #80: A Star Is Born & First Man

That’s right, TWO movies in today’s Statistics episode! Is it convenient? No. Will it ever happen again? Who’s to say? Two big prestige films that influence a lot of names on the spreadsheet.

Review #116: Venom

Today’s review dives into Tom Hardy’s version of the titular Spider-Man villain. I also bring along Derek, a friend to join me on this… journey.

Review #115: First Man

Can you really spoil a movie about a thing we all know? I definitely talk about the ending, but I try to avoid some of the lesser known moments.

General #69: Top 10 New September Films

The schedule was thrown off by a mislabeled movie ticket, so no First Man review, yet! Apologies!

Review #$114: A Star Is Born

Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga team up to bring you the musical you’ve always wanted. It’s pretty good, guys. No spoilers in this episode.
