Aaron West hosts The A24 New Wave Podcast, a series that serves as an audio companion to his book of the same name. Rather than just offering straightforward reviews, each episode digs into the fabric of the studio's influential work, connecting contemporary films to the broader currents of cinema history. You'll hear conversations with a range of voices, from the directors shaping these movies to the academics and critics who analyze their impact. The discussions explore how A24's distinctive projects-from intimate dramas to genre-bending spectacles-both reflect and challenge traditional filmmaking, creating a modern movement worth chronicling. This podcast acts as a living record, following the evolution of this creative wave in real time. By weaving together analysis, interview insights, and historical context, the show provides a deeper appreciation for how today's most talked-about films resonate with the past while charting a new path forward. Tune in for thoughtful, evolving dialogue about the studio that continues to redefine what movies can be.
