Speaker 7 (0:04) The Speaker 6 (0:05) city moves fast, but your vibe, that's different. Sharper, smoother, more alive. Speaker 7 (0:15) The new Speaker 6 (0:20) Honda City isn't just made to drive, it's made to feel. The new Honda City, all new vibe. Speaker 1 (0:33) This is The Run-Through. I'm Chloe Mao. And today, our dear Choma is still on vacation, trekking across the Swiss Alps, we hope, like a goat. And I'm joined this morning by podcast regular, friend of the pod, Marley Marius. Hi, Speaker 5 (0:51) CM. Speaker 1 (0:53) A reluctant hello. Today on the show, we have a conversation between Taylor Antrim, Lisa Macabasco, and Liam Hess, our resident cinephiles. Liam was visiting from the UK last week, so we took a rare moment to have the three of them in the studio to discuss fall film festivals, which kick off with Venice next week. Taylor, Lisa, and Liam will all be attending some of these festivals and came on to talk about the most anticipated films of fall 2026. But before we get to that, news from this past week. Speaker 5 (1:29) Yes. I mean, I think the big breaking news moment was finding out that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are returning to the United Kingdom. Apparently this fall, as soon as this fall, their kids are going to be at school. The kids are enrolled. Which is crazy. They're apparently keeping their Montecito house. They're keeping their vacation house in... Portugal, but they'll be back on UK soil, but not as royals, like just as people. And Speaker 1 (1:51) Tina Brown reported this weekend that it was because Meghan got a role in a Guy Ritchie show, but then there's reports that then that was off. So it's all very unclear. But I have to say, I'm a fan of the as-ever jam, and I feel this is not good for my jam supply. Less jamming gonna happen in London. That Speaker 5 (2:13) is a shame, but I think... I think it's so cute, the kids having, like, an English childhood. Somehow that feels right to me. I mean, I think it's confusing. I'm sure the British press have a lot to say about this, but this feels like a nice full circle thing for them in some sort of sweet way. Speaker 1 (2:26) When that news broke, I did gasp. Me Speaker 5 (2:29) too, honestly. I couldn't Speaker 1 (2:30) believe it. I was like, we've been through so much. Speaker 5 (2:32) Literally, this must have been a long, hard conversation between the two of them, honestly, because they knew how this was going to be, like, reacted to. Speaker 1 (2:39) Marlee, what has been your August cinematic? diet? Okay, Speaker 5 (2:45) I mean, great question. Honestly, I've been watching some old things. I recently watched Parades End, like the miniseries from 1800 years ago. Wow. Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall, adapted from the Ford Maddox Ford novels. Anyway, fabulous, amazing, gorgeous stuff. But more recently, or in terms of sort of more recent content, over the weekend, I did watch the new documentary about Novak Djokovic. Oh, Speaker 1 (3:10) which Speaker 5 (3:10) Corey really liked. He really did, and that sort of turned me on to it. He is someone who has sort of been villainized by the tennis media and Speaker 1 (3:19) tennis fans. Speaker 5 (3:19) Which makes me like him. You know, that makes sense. He's a real prankster. You're Speaker 1 (3:24) like Speaker 5 (3:24) a feisty guy. And that is very much explored in the film. It's directed by Jason Heer, who did The Last Dance a couple years ago, about the Bulls and Michael Jordan. Are you watching Speaker 1 (3:38) Furious? No. Everyone's watching Emmy Rossum a little crazed in Furious. I have not seen that. Speaker 5 (3:47) Me neither. But it's nice. I mean, Emmy Rossum feels like a blast from the past, so it's nice that she's having another moment. We love that for Emmy. We really do. I went to the cinema. Yeah. What did you see, Braytel? I Speaker 1 (4:00) saw the Paw Patrol movie. And how was that? It was thrilling. I love going Speaker 5 (4:04) to the cinema. Is this the first Paw Patrol movie or like have they been doing this? Speaker 1 (4:09) No, they've been doing this. But this is Paw Patrol Dino Island. And it was very exciting. And it really was like the rumination on man's ruining of natural environments. It was... Wow. I was moved. Speaker 5 (4:23) And how about your Speaker 1 (4:24) children? Speaker 5 (4:25) They Speaker 1 (4:25) were less moved but equally titillated. Was it a well-attended theater showing? It was not. It was an 11 a.m. and there were like five of us. But, you know, I do think that kids' movies are a great business proposition because you sell double the tickets because every child has to have a chaperone. Speaker 5 (4:47) So true. Wow. Okay, so, Chloe, besides seeing Paw Patrol, what else were you up to this weekend? Speaker 1 (4:53) Well, I... Did a lot of crafting. Oh, what kind? Alice and I were doing collages. And then we went to the Bridgewater Country Fair, which was huge. Speaker 5 (5:05) Okay, what did you, like, get there? Speaker 1 (5:07) There was fried dough, which was exciting. Already got a axolotl stuffed animal from the... balloon dart game. And we, Artie and I, did the most terrifying spinning ride that made me feel so ill. Is Speaker 5 (5:26) that fair, like, one weekend every year, or does it, like, go on for a long time? Speaker 1 (5:30) It is one weekend every year. Oh, wow. Okay. And then there's another fair in Goshen. Okay. Labor Day weekend. Okay, huge. And I also, I went to film for him last week during the Visconti Festival and saw White Nights, which was really, really a Mastroianni masterclass. Speaker 5 (5:48) Wow. Oh, my God. I was thinking about him. I'm always thinking about him. But I was thinking about him specifically going into Venice because his... daughter with Catherine Deneuve, Chiara Mastroianni, has a film and will be there, and I'm just obsessed with her. I'm like, the blood that runs through her veins. I feel like Venice must be like a second home to her. You know what I mean? Like, that's just sort of like her place. So I'm very excited to see her on Melito next week, among actually other things that we're looking forward to. Like, I mean, do you have any films that you're looking forward to this fall, actually? Speaker 1 (6:21) Yes, I loved the... play Ink. I saw it in the UK like 10 years ago with my mother about a young Rupert Murdoch taking Fleet Street. Speaker 5 (6:31) And Speaker 1 (6:32) Claire Foy is in the film adaptation, which is coming out this fall. Who's the actor in that? It's also Jack O'Connell, Guy Pearce. Ooh, Guy Pearce, I think, is playing young Murdoch. Speaker 5 (6:42) And it's directed by Danny Boyle. That will be good. Claire Foy, I think, also is sort of like underappreciated. Don't sleep on Speaker 1 (6:50) Claire Foy. Speaker 5 (6:51) Totally. We love Claire Foy. I mean, so that will be at Venice. I mean, some of the things I'm looking forward to at Venice, there's, I mean, and I think Taylor and Lisa and Liam kind of get into this as well, but there's... Werner Herzog's Bucking Faster starring the Mara sisters, which I'm thrilled about because I love a Rooney Mara sighting in any context, really. They're playing twins. I wonder what that will mean on the red carpet because I feel like they have quite different styles. I mean, I think Rooney is so much more of a fashion girl in my mind than Kate is, so I think I'm curious to see what that looks like during their promotion of that film. We'll have a new Martin McDonagh movie, Wild Horse Nine, with John Malkovich. I mean... Sam Rockwell, Parker Posey. I wonder if we'll see. Love Speaker 1 (7:36) Parker on the red carpet. Oh my Speaker 5 (7:38) God, she's going to be, I think she's going to be living her best life. I wonder if Phoebe Waller-Ridge will be there supporting her man. I hope so. We love Phoebe. What's Phoebe Speaker 1 (7:46) been up to? Speaker 5 (7:47) Great question. I think the world would love to know. Speaker 1 (7:51) Speaking of red carpets, big. Honestly, the reaction in the Vogue Slack channel was like everyone grabbing their holsters at the same time when Margaret Qualley stepped out with the barefoot Chanel. It was, you know in Slack it says Marley Marius is typing. It was like everyone typing at the same time. During the Chanel resort show in Biarritz, there was a barefoot sandal, which is basically a half a sandal. It's just a heel cap. And no toe support at all. It's just a little ankle support. It's a little ankle cup. And with leather twine tied around it. And Margaret Qualley stepped out in these on the red carpet of dog stars. And a lot of debate in our office. Indeed. I really want someone to try wearing them. We need to test drive them. Speaker 5 (8:49) But, I mean, I don't know what the other applications are for such a shoe. Well, we have been Speaker 1 (8:52) talking a lot this summer on the fashion team about barefoot light, almost barefoot shoes. Like the zero sandals is supposed to be the closest to barefoot you can get. Max Berlinger has been trying these out. So there is a trend of foot. Oh, my God. Speaker 5 (9:15) Totally. Speaker 1 (9:15) Totally. But no, I do feel like Venice is a great red carpet fall kickoff. Speaker 5 (9:21) Yeah. I mean, is there anyone in Speaker 1 (9:22) particular you're looking forward to seeing? Well, we love an Amal Clooney sighting, and George Clooney is getting an award. So I hope there's a great vintage moment for Amal, who's very good at that. Speaker 5 (9:35) Actually, something that Radhika Seth, our colleague at British Vogue, wrote about a couple weeks ago is how... In fact, like, some of the big, some of the movies that we're expecting to be Oscar contenders in the coming year are skipping Venice, like, and just going to, like, the New York Film Festival, going to, like, Toronto. Because, like, her argument, which I thought was sort of compelling, was that, like, the critics in Venice can be kind of tough. And if you get a bad review there, it can kind of just, like, set these movies up for failure going further into the season. Like, a year ago, that was when Luca Guadagnino and... Julia Roberts and Io Debrey were in Venice promoting After the Hunt, and it was not really well-received there, and that sort of set it up for a kind of failure going into the season. It was kind of hard for it to regain momentum after that, and so Rad's thinking was that some of these bigger movies that definitely want a shot during awards season are going to kind of wait until they have sort of friendlier press opportunities in New York, in like North America, ultimately, rather than in Europe, because in Europe they're just kind of a bit. Maybe these films are under a bit more scrutiny is sort of the argument. Which is to say, it's not until New York Film Festival that we're going to see like Julianne Moore's movie with Jesse Eisenberg called The Debut. And there we'll also see like kind of a bunch of sort of starrier things, dare I say. Speaker 1 (10:54) Okay. Yeah. Speaker 1 (10:57) One last thing. We are taping on a Monday morning, but by the time this airs, it'll be August 25th, the day we are celebrating our Vogue September issue at Casa Magazines here in New York City. From 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., we will have a special phone booth set up where you can leave your questions about Fashion Week, the September issue, or Vogue. And while you're there... Enjoy a popsicle on us exclusively for Vogue subscribers and app users. Plus, stop by for a chance to get your issue signed by Kaia Gerber and Homer Gear from 5 to 6 p.m. First come, first serve. The Run-Through will be back in just a moment. Speaker 7 (11:55) The Speaker 6 (11:55) city moves fast, but your vibe, that's different. Sharper, smoother, more alive. Speaker 7 (12:06) The new Speaker 6 (12:10) Honda City isn't just made to drive, it's made to feel. The new Honda City, all new vibe. Speaker 6 (12:22) I'm Vincent Cunningham. I'm Nomi Frye. I'm Alex Schwartz, and we host Critics at Large from The New Yorker. Each week, we pick a starting point. The new novel you can't stop thinking about, the movie everybody's seeing this weekend, and we kind of go galaxy brand with it. Right. We take the ideas at the center of these things and trace them across history, across mediums, all to get to the bottom of why this particular text is important right now in politics and culture and also in your everyday life. Speaker 1 (12:50) We go highbrow, we go lowbrow, we go everything in between. Speaker 4 (12:54) Food culture to meme culture. Charlie XCX to Speaker 6 (12:57) Toni Morrison. K Speaker 1 (12:58) -pop to the Speaker 6 (12:59) Kennedys. From horror movies to heated rivalry. From the Oscars to the Met Gala. The Golden Bachelor
