<p>For episode 268, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, we&#39;re discussing the beginning of precursor season, alongside some heavy hitter films. I recently saw <em><strong>Avatar: Fire and Ash</strong></em>, as well as <em><strong>Ella McCay</strong></em>, which I detail to Myles. He&#39;s seen <em><strong>Zootopia 2</strong></em>, so he can tell me about that one, while he&#39;s caught up on <em><strong>Nouvelle Vague</strong></em> (reviewed out of the Toronto International Film Festival <a href="https://awardsradar.com/2025/09/05/tiff-review-nouvelle-vague-finds-richard-linklater-playfully-honoring-the-spirit-of-the-french-new-wave/">here</a> by yours truly) and <em><strong>Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery</strong></em> (which I also reviewed <a href="https://awardsradar.com/2025/09/07/tiff-review-wake-up-dead-man-a-knives-out-mystery-is-rian-johnsons-best-and-most-ambitious-installment-yet/">here</a> out of TIFF). So, we finally have a more robust discussion of those two. Plus, the precursors have led to some predictions tinkering, which generates more chatter. Throw in your questions and we have a jam packed agenda/episode...</p><p>As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 268th one to date (here’s to many more).
