The Rolling Tape

Today, we're heading back to Westeros. After more than two years away, House of the Dragon is finally back for its long-awaited third season.
And it's time for the Dance of the Dragons, the war we've been waiting for and the conflict fans have been asking to see fully erupt. The season opens with the absolutely insane Battle of the Gullet and only gets more chaotic from there. We get major character deaths, some major new players to talk through, dragons literally everywhere, and, of course, Rhaenyra Targaryen finally taking the Iron Throne and dealing with all the chaos that follows.
Today, we're going to talk about Season 3 as a whole including the characters, the biggest moments, our favorite performances, and where exactly the series goes from here.

Before we officially get into the buzz of the fall festival circuit, it’s good to take a step back in time and reflect on bygone eras of planetary history. Today in fact, we’re embracing that by going 200 million years in reverse to the age of dinosaurs with David Robert Mitchell and The End of Oak Street. 
The End of Oak Street is written and directed by David Robert Mitchell as his third feature film after It Follows and Under the Silver Lake. It stars Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella and Christian Convery as a family whose suburban neighborhood has been transported from 1982 into prehistoric times.
We review the movie and then blind rank 25 dinosaur movies.

Welcome back to In The Queue, a new show in The Rolling Tape network of podcasts that answers the question “What should I watch this weekend?” Every month, we line up what’s in theaters, what’s headlining our watchlists, and what we recommend adding to yours. 
We kicked off this series all the way back in March and then went on summer vacation for 6 months, who's to blame us? But at long last we are back to report on our findings from the watchlist shuffle and discuss what we've seen recently at home and in theaters.
As always, to keep our own watchlists in check, we end with a recommendation game where we randomly select a movie from each other’s Letterboxd watchlists to watch before the next episode. This month we filtered by romance and comedy to celebrate the one night a year when it's legal for singles to have sex. Listen next month to hear our reports.

In just a few weeks, Venice, Telluride, New York, and Toronto will kick off a new cycle of anticipated awards contenders, with premieres and early reactions that will reshape our already exhaustive Oscar predictions. This is where some of our assumptions about certain films will go to die, or be validated. Who's to say?
Even though films like Digger, The Social Reckoning, and Dune: Part Three will premiere later in the fall and winter, movies like Wild Horse Nine, Ink, The Debut, Behemoth, and Elsinore will be shown to audiences for the first time over the next several weeks. And yet, all of that may feel somewhat moot, because every other film is being overshadowed by the Trojan horse that is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
The big-budget epic has already passed $1 billion at the global box office, including more than $400 million domestically. It boasts a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, an 88 on Metacritic, and a 4.4 average on Letterboxd. Perhaps we're just spinning our wheels here, and Nolan is once again going to sweep the industry awards—we just don't want to admit it to ourselves. Whatever happens, we still have more than 70 slots to fill across 18 categories, and today we're going to focus on half of them.
We're giving you our pre-Fall Festival Oscar predictions for Best Picture, Best Director, all four acting categories, and both screenplay categories. We'll also touch on some of the below-the-line technical categories as an extra treat.
This is our last chance to truly theorize, fantasize, and project our hopes onto some of these films before we've actually seen them. Once the fall festival season begins, we'll have reactions, reviews, and new information that could completely change the race.

You know what's more romantic than living under an authoritarian government where you can only have sex for one night of the year? Finding your true love for life. Time to nut up for Will Gluck's One Night Only, starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner. 
Written by Travis Braun and based on his Black List script. The film follows two hapless romantics, Monica Barbaro's Allie, a hopeful romantic looking for something more, and Callum Turner's Owen, a recently dumped hopeless romantic.
They happen to be two aimless singles navigating the one night of the year when premarital sex is legal in their society. As the night stretches on, what begins as a quest for a hookup turns into a series of awkward encounters, side quests, and run-ins with a society built around enforcing the government's strict rules on sex. Allie and Owen eventually realize that what they really want is each other, and that maybe they don't need to take advantage of the twelve-hour window at all. They can wait until the next morning, or, if necessary, the other 364 days of the year.
Love and fascism are in the air, and to help me celebrate our new puritanical reality, we're going to take a look at One Night Only and some of the greatest romantic-comedy couples in cinema history. We review the latest dystopian romantic comedy and rank some of cinema's best romantic-comedy couples.
