Sophia and Nick are back to discuss more awards contenders with strong performances that will haunt and inspire you. In Rustin, Colman Domingo plays the titular activist who was instrumental in leading the 1963 March on Washington. Listen to hear what they liked about the film, including George C. Wolfe’s direction and a poignant script, before watching the film on Netflix.

Next, dive into the twisted world of Emerald Fennell’s sophomore film, Saltburn, featuring an unforgettably funny, wily, and brilliant cast (19:01). They avoid spoilers as they review the daring film and debate whether The Academy will love this as much as they did Promising Young Woman.
