The 15 Most Anticipated Movies at Sundance. Plus: Randy Newman!

We’ve touched down in Park City, Utah, for the Sundance Film Festival and we’re ready to watch some movies. Sean and Amanda break down what it means to be a Sundance movie, the evolving state of the festival, and a few of the films they’ve already seen, including a Taylor Swift documentary and a hair-centric horror movie from the director of Dear White People (1:00). Then they share their lists of the movies they’re most excited to see, from documentaries with grave international consequences to a drama based on a “stripper saga” Twitter thread (19:12). Finally, Sean is joined by Randy Newman to discuss his Oscar-nominated work in Marriage Story and Toy Story 4, his showdown at the Academy Awards with his cousin Thomas Newman, and his long career as a songwriter, composer, and bastion of wit and wisdom (41:55).
