"Oscars and the Con" (Episode 7)

Anne reports from the floor (literally) of San Diego Comic Con, sharing her thoughts on footage from The Weinstein Company's "The Giver," and the pair reflect on the overlap between fan world and the indie sphere. Turning to new releases, they discuss Philip Seymour Hoffman's role in "A Most Wanted Man," and explore whether the late actor could land a posthumous Oscar nomination. They also return to the topic of fall season movies to get a handle on the newly announced Toronto and Venice festival lineups.
