Film Podcast: Oscar Season Opens With Birdman and Listen Up Philip
It's awards season, and the hyped movies are starting to land in theaters. On this week's Voice Film Club podcast, we talk about Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman, starring Michael Keaton, and Alex Ross Perry's Listen Up Philip, and carve out some time to recommend Nothing Bad Can Happen and Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me. All four of those films have received high praise -- though some have been hit with some pretty damning criticism, including the characterization of Iñárritu as a "pretentious fraud," leveled by film critic Scott Tobias of The Dissolve. Amy Nicholson of LA Weekly, along with Alan Scherstuhl and Stephanie Zacharek of the Village Voice, dive into what stirs critics to use loaded words like those when reviewing a movie. Ahh, must be Oscar season.
