While Izzy is away, Murtada welcomes back critic Karl Delossantos to discuss Ridley Scott messy sequel, Gladiator II. the conversation covers the miscast Paul Mescal, the lazy filmmaking and the bad script. Suffice it to say we are not fans. The conversation starts with awards season and the winners at the Gothams and the New York Film Critics Circle. Then filmmaker Payal Kapadia joins Murtada to talk about her sublime portrait of Mumbai, All We Imagine As Light. Kapadia discusses making the jump from documentary to fiction, her sense of character, the wonderful actresses she worked with and how everyone should take a vacation!Follow the show on Twitter and Instagram: @IMPictureShow.To hear more from Izzy and Murtada check them out on social media: Izzy (Twitter: @bkrewind, IG: @bk_rewind); Murtada (Twitter: @ME_Says, IG: murtada_e).See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Izzy and Murtada take a look at the movie musical event of the season—Wicked! The two discuss their respective histories with the musical and how that influenced their expectations of the film. Together, they try to answer the film’s most pressing question: why does it look like that? We can never be sure. But we can be sure that Ariana Grande is a star and Stephen Schwartz can write a damn tune.

This week, Izzy and Murtada take a look at two films: Emilia Perez, a semi-controversial musical directed by Jacques Audiard about a lawyer who is recruited by a drug cartel boss to assist in locating a doctor for her transition, and A Real Pain, a Jesse Eisenberg film about two cousins who travel to Poland together to explore their family history and rekindle their relationship. While Emilia Perez left the duo wondering what on earth Greta Gerwig’s Cannes jury was thinking, A Real Pain at least stirred some interesting thoughts about how we observe the past today.
