I'm David Remnick.

Thanks for joining us today.

See you next time.

The New Yorker Radio Hour is a co-production of WNYC Studios and The New Yorker.

Our theme music was composed and performed by Meryl Garbus of Tune Yards, with additional music by Louis Mitchell and Jared Paul.

This episode was produced by Max Balton, Adam Howard, David Krasnow, Jeffrey Masters, Louis Mitchell, Jared Paul, and Ursula Sommer.

With guidance from Emily Botin and assistance from Michael May, David Gable, Alex Barish, Victor Guan, and Alejandra Deckett.

You can have all the journalism, the fiction, the film, book and TV reviews, all the cartoons, just by going right now to newyorker.com slash dark.

That's newyorker.com slash dark.

And thanks.

I'm David Remnick, and you're listening to The New Yorker Radio Hour.

Now, this program doesn't have many rituals, but here's one that we observe every year, the Brody Awards.

When Oscars night is around the corner, I sit down with two of our illustrious critics to discuss the year in movies.

The ones that didn't get enough credit, according to them, or maybe the ones that got a little too much.

And maybe not to mention the films that you should see and you might have missed so far.

I'm joined by New Yorker staff writer and co-host of our podcast, Critics at Large, Alexandra Schwartz.

Alex, how are you?

Hello.
