Oscar nominations and February 2025 preview

In this episode, Tim has a chat with the European wing of the Alternate Ending extended family - from France, Gavin McDowell (of the SECTS, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE column), and from Scotland, Andrew Milne (of the Two Friends Watch podcast) - to take a brief look at the newly-announced nominees for the 97th Academy Awards, and then a much less brief look at the films coming out in three different countries across the course of February.

In addition, Tim shares his thoughts on the elegant and subtle Italian character drama Strip Nude for Your Killer, Andrew takes a dive into all four hours of Fassbinder's World on a Wire, and Gavin looks at the recent French-Canadian psychodrama Red Rooms. Plus, stick around for Gavin's pitch for the Alternate Ending Discord Book Club!
