Episode 68: Newish Releases with Adam Nayman and Beatrice Loayza

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Before the onslaught of new fall releases, I thought it’d be nice to tackle three big summer titles. We start with Annette, the long-awaited new feature from Leos Carax starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard; The Green Knight, David Lowery’s medieval fantasy with Dev Patel; and last but definitely not least, the mind-bender Old, from the mind of M. Night Shyamalan. Joining the podcast for the first time is Adam Nayman, a contributing editor at Cinema Scope whose work is published in The Ringer and Sight & Sound and who's written books about Paul Thomas Anderson, Joel and Ethan Coen, and Showgirls. And returning to the show is Beatrice Loayza, a fellow contributor at The New York Times whose work also appears in many other publications.
