On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films that explore the meaning of tension in two different ways. The first is “The Drama,” a study of a couple about to be married who begin to obsess over something from the past. The other is “Crime 101,” an exploration of the lives of several desperate characters, one of whom embarks on a plan to get rich quick.

Aptly titled “The Drama” is a study of two troubled souls coming apart just when they should be bonding in marriage, Dan Webster says.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two foreign films that are radically unique: the Oscar-nominated Spanish-French film “Sirāt” and the French film “Alpha.”

The Oscar-nominated “Sirāt” takes viewers on a heartbreakingly surreal road trip through Morocco’s desert, Dan Webster says.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss the latest sci-fi space venture, “Project Hail Mary,” a Ryan Gosling vehicle based on Andy Weir’s best-selling novel. They also share their choices for, as they like to say, “their favorite space-travel movies that aren’t ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’”

“Project Hail Mary” takes a serious subject and lightens it up with a buoyant Ryan Gosling performance, Dan Webster says.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss the 98th Oscars broadcast, the wins and the shoulda-beens. Then they discuss another music-themed documentary, this one featuring the former Beatle Paul McCartney, Amazon Studio’s “Paul McCartney: Man on the Run.”

Forget the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs or the SAG awards, it’s the Oscars broadcast that movie fans care most about. On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss the 98th Academy Awards, who is nominated, who has the best chances of winning and who they each think should win.

On this week’s show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss the importance of two cinema giants, artists who in their respective ways represented the best that moviemaking has to offer: the Oscar-winning actor Robert Duvall and the master documentary director Frederick Wiseman.

It’s been two and a half decades, but the documentary “WTO/99” recalls when Seattle’s streets were wracked with protests, Dan Webster says.
