Set against the Alaskan landscape, it follows a woman whose relationship with her older, divorced boyfriend hits a rough patch just as an old flame reappears in her life. The guys dig into the film, then flag a clearly marked spoiler section at the end if you'd rather wait.

In the second half, three upcoming films get the trailer treatment. Artificial, Luca Guadagnino's OpenAI drama with Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman — dropped by Amazon, rescued by NEON, and arriving Christmas Day. Remain, the unlikely M. Night Shyamalan–Nicholas Sparks collaboration starring Jake Gyllenhaal, now repositioned from spooky October to Valentine's Day 2027. And You Can See Everything, the secretly shot, nearly three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary from Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder that surprise-premiered at Telluride — and whose cast list raises some very interesting questions. Chris closes with his recommendation of the week: Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere on Netflix. Plus a reminder that the Footcandle Film Festival runs September 18–27 in Western North Carolina.

Acme, Venice Film Festival, Trailer Tapas]]>Alan and Chris are back to take on one of the most improbable release stories in recent memory: Coyote vs. Acme has finally made it to theaters. Shelved by Warner Bros. in 2023 as a tax write-off, rescued by Ketchup Entertainment, and now in wide release nearly three years behind schedule, Dave Green's live-action/animation hybrid puts Wile E. Coyote on the witness stand against the company whose products have failed him for decades. Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor star. The guys dig into whether the finished film justifies the fan campaign that saved it — and what it says about the studio system that nearly buried it.

In the news, Alan and Chris cover the latest out of the Venice Film Festival, then run through two new trailers: Club Kid, Jordan Firstman's Cannes-premiering feature debut for A24 about a New York party promoter blindsided by the ten-year-old son he never knew about, and The Sun Never Sets, Joe Swanberg's first feature in nearly a decade, an Alaska-set love triangle shot on 35mm with Dakota Fanning, Jake Johnson, and Cory Michael Smith. Chris closes things out with his weekly recommendation: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Jane Schoenbrun's Queer Palm-winning meta-slasher starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson.

But does "The Guard", starring Brendon Gleeson and Don Cheadle, deliver? Gleeson stars as unconventional Irish police officer Gerry Boyle, quite content with his life and pace of work, while Cheadle plays a straight-laced FBI agent assigned to a drug-smuggling case in Boyle's small town. Sound like the setup for a standard "buddy cop" film, right? Listen to see what Alan and Chris think of this month's film. Plus, in this episode the boys pick through of couple of recent movie-related news items - with a focus on science-fiction as a way of congratulating Chris for his upcoming nuptials. "Footcandle Films" is looking to double your film fix by moving to posting episodes twice a month, so be on the lookout for our next episode in two weeks when we discuss the Best Films of 2011 (as well as some of the worst!).

In honor of that, we decided to tinker with our show formula a bit and do a trio of reviews and skip the movie news. We kick things off with a review of DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, chase that with the discussion of THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT, and complete the triumvirate with talk of THE NORTHMAN. We return somewhat to normalcy and close the show with recommendations of films you should consider streaming from the comfort of your own living room.

Benicio Del Toro stars as wealthy businessman Zsa-zsa Korda who decides to appoint his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a dubious new enterprise (the scheme of the title) he & his daughter become the target of rival tycoons, foreign terrorists, & determined assassins.
