HLT 134 with Andrew Taylor
SPOILER ALERT***
This session contains commentary on all ten of the 2023 Oscar nominated films. While respecting the ‘No-Spoiler’ rule at the HLT as much as possible, Andrew and I take the occasional misstep of the cliff and end up face planted on the asphalt below ala Wiley Coyote. This warning brought to you by Acme muting systems.
SPOILER ALERT NUMBER TWO***
Our conversation was interrupted at the 58 minute mark by a combination of technical malfunction and human error. Mostly the latter for which I assume all responsibility. Vowing to learn the advanced techniques of my cell phone (a cheap droid) and get a new one for the HLT, one which actually has a functional speaker mode, I invite you, nonetheless, to join us in the Oscar buzz contained herein.
Andrew Taylor personifies the industry standard calling for a broad range of skills. His 9-5 is as audio-visual coordinator for corporate presentations, meetings, and whatever cutting-edge media mash-ups the Seattle area commercial conglomerates can concoct. A position not for the faint of heart. He is also a filmmaker, currently working on a TV pilot and enjoying the reception his three latest short films are receiving. Cutting to the chase scene, he knows his way around a sound stage, on-location set and the how-to knowledge required of writers, directors, cinematographers, and post production artists. He is a great interview and the first humanoid to appear THREE TIMES on this show. See (listen) for yourself.
THE TEN for 2023 Best Picture award in no particular order.
1) OPPENHEIMER
2) KILLERS of the FLOWER MOON
3) AMERICAN FICTION
4) POOR THINGS
5) MAESTRO
6) ZONE of INTEREST
7) BARBIE
8) PAST LIVES
9) THE HOLDOVERS
10) ANATOMY of a FALL
I have my prediction (Oppie) and Andrew has his (Poor Things). Tell us your pick by March 9 and win a couple of tickets to next years best picture (Dune Part 2) as it continues its run at (both) the HLT (your fave) and the Bainbridge Island Cinemas (The Pavilion).
Cheers.
Kevin
