Mistura

Um, guys, we're kind of doing, uh, this would be the earliest we've ever done awards season, but this is the earliest award movie that we've been given.

If we were, like, you know, super famous, we'd be going to these screeners all the time at this time of year.

But we're not, so we're pretty stoked to have this one earlier.

And we'll be honest, this one is not even, uh, we don't even know where it's going to be.

We only know that it's on the short list of a certain country that might make it to be put in the barrel to be nominated for the Oscars.

That's right, folks, that's the level.

Potential.

I'll repeat that again.

It's on a list to be on a list to be on a list.

This movie is on a shortlist for a particular country to then be submitted to a much bigger list for the Academy Awards to maybe nominate, but it's a real tough field, and we don't even know what movies are gonna be out there yet, so yeah.

Yeah.

So there we go.

Um, let's start out with a, a little, uh, geography lesson.

Mariah, do you know where this movie came from? [laughs]

South America.

Nice.

Pat, do you know the country of origin of this movie?

Peru.

Yes, this is Peruvian.

It's Peruvian.

A Peruvian historical melodrama is how the Wikipedia post calls it.

Uh, it's, and it's an interesting thing about movies overseas.

I'm gonna l- let's, let's talk about the whole, like, picking a movie from your country to submit.

Now, us being from the big old bad US of A, we kind of have a corner on the market.

We kinda have, it's our awards, we get to do, most of the movies come from our country or our, from our production studios filmed in other countries 'cause California's too expensive.
