In a recent episode of The New Yorker Radio Hour, David Remnick engages in a thoughtful discussion with film critics Alexandra Schwartz and Richard Brody about the past year's films and upcoming Academy Award predictions. Brody critiques the film "The Brutalist," expressing concern over its trivialization of the Holocaust, and suggests that the musical "Wicked" holds strong potential for winning Best Picture due to the audience's current craving for 'cinematic comfort food'. This episode marks the continuation of their annual tradition of predicting the Oscars.
Brody dismisses "The Brutalist" - a film that merely uses the Holocaust "as metaphor" - and tells Remnick that "Wicked" might win Best Picture. "I think there's a huge desire for cinematic comfort food that makes a billion dollars."
