Happy Studios Paying Actors What They Deserve Day! Hopefully this is the beginning of a robust season of actors campaigning for their films, starting with a few that Nick and Sophia are here to discuss today. Firstly, Priscilla, Sofia Coppola’s latest stylized film that details the complicated relationship between Elvis and his only spouse, Priscilla, and was adapted from her biography. Then, Alexander Payne’s crowdpleaser, The Holdovers, a melancholy yet hilarious jaunt through the holidays (24:23).

Afterwards, discover two movies now available to stream on Netflix: The Killer (48:16), and Nyad (59:52). Whether you’re in the mood for a tense, yet dryly satirical and potent David Fincher thriller, or an inspirational biopic about the titular swimmer’s 100+ mile hallucinatory odyssey across the Florida Straits, there is definitely something for everyone! Enjoy their in depth reviews complete with favorite moments and how they think each will fare at the Oscars.
