HLT 145 - ANDREW TAYLOR 2025 OSCAR TALK

HISTORIC LYNWOOD THEATRE PODCAST
EPISODE 145 - ANDREW TAYLOR & 2025 OSCAR TALK

We are joined, for the third year running, by local filmmaker Andrew Taylor, who has been a busy best boy. We open the segment with his update on the recently wrapped and locally produced FINDING CHAZ film. Should you be interested in learning more about this local effort, take a listen to my podcast with writer/producer Anisa Ashabi here.

Andrew and I then take our sweet Tacoma time is looking under the hoods of this years shiny new fleet of nominations for the grand prize, an Oscar, the Cadillac of golden statuettes.

Of ten films nominated:

ANORA
THE BRUTALIST
CONCLAVE
A COMPLETE UNKNOWN
DUNE, PT II
EMILIA PEREZ
I’M STILL HERE
NICKEL BOYS
THE SUBSTANCE
WICKED,

five have already had a run at the HLT, two twice, and two more are on the way. Not a bad record for an 88 year old one-screen in Lynwood Center.

You can find Andrew at atayprod.com should you be in need of professional services, or, as I do, to be included on his list of people willing to work as extras in upcoming cinematic events. I have been asked to hone up my chops as a bartender for his next short. Can’t wait for that! 

I could add our respective choices for Sunday’s 97th Academy Awards here, in text, but that would be in direct violation of our No Spoilers Code, and we would prefer you listen anyway.

We would love to hear your comments, critiques, opinions and/or rants or raves about this year’s, or any year’s, films that have been selected as ‘best of’. Or even those that haven’t. As my former boss used to say, “We like people who like movies”. 

Call me at 206.451.4336, e me at Kevin@Frawayentertainment.com or simply make the pilgrimage down to the HLT at your earliest convenience and share your story. Who knows, it could end up in film!

Ciao a presto,

Kevin
