In the Queue: September Recommendations, Buddy (2026) & Watchlist Shuffles for Horror Movies
Oct 2, 20261h 20m
Welcome back to In The Queue , a new show in The Rolling Tape network of podcasts that answers the question “What should I watch this weekend?” Every month, we line up what’s in theaters, what’s headlining our watchlists, and what we recommend adding to yours. With Practical Magic 2 , Buddy , and Resident Evil getting us in the fall and horror mood to start the month, we end with a recommendation game where we randomly select a movie from each other’s Letterboxd watchlists to watch before the next episode. This month we filtered by horror to celebrate the upcoming spooky season. Listen next month to hear our reports.

The Awards Tape: Twenty Years of The Departed & The Legacy of the 2007 Oscars ft. Ryan Casselman
Sep 30, 20261h 43m
Break out your cranberry juice, your microprocessors, and your Nokia flip phones, because we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of Martin Scorsese's The Departed with special guest Ryan Casselman ! One caveat, though: the film was released theatrically on October 6, 2006, so upon release, we're still six days away from the actual anniversary. But we do have an amazing retrospective planned for next week, so consider this killing two rats with one bullet. Anyway, The Departed is Scorsese's 20th narrative feature and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen, and Alec Baldwin. The film was written by William Monahan, who adapted it from Andrew Lau and Alan Mak's 2002 Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs . The Departed grossed approximately $291 million worldwide, making it Scorsese's highest-grossing film at the time, until it was eclipsed by The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013. For our conversation on The Awards Tape, we'll also breakdown how it became an unexpected awards contender. Associate producer Emma Tillinger Koskoff recalled that Scorsese initially assumed the film had little chance with the Academy, saying, "Here's the good news: we're not going to be traveling the world and hitting the pavement on the awards circuit because there is no way — this movie is so vile and violent." Obviously, he was wrong. At the 79th Academy Awards, The Departed won four Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director for Scorsese, Best Adapted Screenplay for Monahan, and Best Film Editing for Thelma Schoonmaker. More importantly, it earned Scorsese his first Best Director Oscar after five previous nominations. So, do we love The Departed as much as the Academy did? Maybe, maybe not. Stay tuned to find out how The Departed became Warner Bros.' unexpected awards contender. Our guest: Ryan Casselman On this episode: Paul Rai Patrick J.

EP 208: Primetime (2026) & Blind Ranking Robert Pattinson Performances
Sep 28, 20261h 26m
“You know how this looks right?” Primetime premiered in the main competition of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2026, where it competed for the Golden Lion. It has since been released theatrically by A24 as of September 25. Primetime follows the production of the hit NBC reality television series To Catch a Predator where Robert Pattinson stars as series host Chris Hansen pushing the ethical boundaries of the show to increase ratings. Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, and Phoebe Bridgers play supporting roles. Today, our normal host Danny unfortunately got caught up taking a last-minute double-pay job to transport a high-priority organ cooler through a snowy mountain pass. We wish him the best. In his stead, Adam and Gabe review the Lance Oppenheim-directed film and blind rank Robert Pattinson's filmography.

The Awards Tape: TIFF 2026 Recap & Post-Fall Festival Oscar Predictions
Sep 23, 20262h 54m
*TIFF Recap recorded BEFORE the People's Choice Announcement* See all of The Rolling Tape's TIFF 2026 coverage here . By the time you're listening to this, the 51st Toronto International Film Festival will have wrapped up its 11-day run, which featured world premieres of Siân Heder's Being Heumann , Chris Rock's Misty Green , Peter Farrelly's I Play Rocky , and many more films coming off festivals like Sundance, Berlin, Cannes, and Venice. Famously dubbed the "People's Festival," Toronto gives movie fans and critics the opportunity to see some of the most acclaimed films of the year. This year, The Rolling Tape also had the privilege of having five of its members on the ground in Toronto: Cameron Ritter , Nadia Arain , Kasey Dunifer , Jacob Diedenhofer , and Evan Miller . This year's winners have already been announced, with Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo's La Bola Negra taking the People's Choice Award, Peter Farrelly's I Play Rocky finishing as the first runner-up, and Siân Heder's Being Heumann finishing as the second runner-up. Since 2008, 16 of the 18 People's Choice Award winners have gone on to receive Best Picture nominations at the Oscars, with Slumdog Millionaire , The King's Speech , 12 Years a Slave , Green Book , and Nomadland ultimately winning Best Picture. Today, we're going to recap some of the films that played, the reception they received, and what we think their prospects might be heading into the rest of awards season. We'll also bookend the episode with an abridged conversation about our post-fall Oscar predictions across several categories.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
