"Beyond Utopia" had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received universal acclaim and won the Audience Award for U.S. Documentary Competition. It has now since gone on to receive four Critics Choice Documentary Award nominations, including Best Documentary Feature, Best Director, and Best Editing for the film's director and editor, Madeleine Gavin. It is truly one of, if not the best, documentary of 2023. Madeleine was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about her work on the film which involved a lot of risk, pre-planning and is an ongoing issue for those still trapped in North Korea and seeking escape today. Please be sure to take a listen and check out the film, which will be playing in limited release on November 3rd.

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Josh Parham, Daniel Howat, Brendan Hodges, Giovanni Lago & Isaiah Washington. We are reviewing the latest film from Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese, "Killers Of The Flower Moon," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser & John Lithgow. Premiering earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival, the highly anticipated film from the 80-year-old legendary filmmaker has finally been released theatrically (with a streaming release on Apple TV+ set to come later this year) and has garnered some of the best reviews of 2023. It has drummed up a lot of discussion about how the story of the Osage murders in 1920s Oklahoma was told, by whom, and why such conversations need to be had today. The film richly invites this discourse as we dive deep into its thematic layers, performances, craftsmanship, awards season potential, and more in our SPOILER-FILED review. Can you spot the wolves in this picture? Tune in and find out.

"The Pigeon Tunnel" had its world premiere at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for diving deep into the works and personal life of world-renowned author John le Carré. Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris provides a brisk, thrilling, and captivating 94-minute introspection through his famous one-on-one interview style to give us a fascinating portrait of a man many regard as one of the best novelists of all time.
