The 2026 Telluride Film Festival has concluded. Unfortunately, Will Mavity had to leave early, and J Don Birnam wasn't staying with us again this year, so it was just Daniel Howat and me as we take you through all of the movies we saw over the Labor Day weekend. From world premieres such as "The Debut," "Elsinore," "Tender Loving Care," and "The Liberation," to the secret screening of "You Can See Everything," to Sundance and Cannes favorites such as "Fjord," "La Bola Negra," "Club Kid," "Once Upon A Time In Harlem," to Venice crossovers such as "Wild Horse Nine," "Ink," and "Bucking Fastard" and more, we've got you covered. We hope you enjoy our recap. Thank you!

For this week's main podcast review, Giovanni Lago joined me before I left for Telluride/TIFF to review and discuss the latest film from Elegance Bratton, "By Any Means," starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Mark Wahlberg, Nicole Beharie, Josh Lucas, David Strathairn, and Giancarlo Esposito. Following up his feature narrative debut, "The Inspection," Bratton finds himself working within the major Hollywood studio system to tell a true story about a young Black FBI agent who teams up with notorious New York City mafia hitman, Greg Scarpa, to investigate the murders of civil rights leaders in Mississippi in 1966. What did we think of the film? Please tune in, either on video or audio only, as we discuss the story, performances, its themes of using violence to achieve a goal, Bratton's evolution as a filmmaker, the Diane Warren song during the end credits, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
