024 - Awards Race Check-In (EXCURSION - Turbulent Brilliance)

Oh and it's a DEEP dive at nearly 3 hours (drunk face emoji) - we get into films from the first half of the year, the few festival announcements we have thus far, and the movies still to come!

Just a little housekeeping...

Hey there, Garys! Just a note of housekeeping that starting in July, the episode schedule will be changing ever so slightly. Instead of releasing on the 1st and 15th of every month, we'll be switching to a Friday release schedule. You will still be getting the same amount of episodes, of course, but this should hopefully not overwhelm your podcast feeds or our schedules with main feed episodes landing on the same date. So starting next week, this will be your episode schedule:

EXCEPTION...
