In the middle of all this noise, Netflix has remained silent. The studio is sitting out the festival circuit this year, but appears to have plenty of Oscar hopefuls in the pipeline, such as David Fincher’s “Mank” and Charlie Kaufman’s “I’m Thinking of Ending Things.”

In this week’s Screen Talk, Eric Kohn and Anne Thompson explore that strategy, as well as how the company became the new standard-bearer in Hollywood. They also touch on Disney’s recent earnings call and the struggling studio’s decision to put “Mulan” on Disney+, and close out by touching on two new movies coming out this week: “An American Pickle” and “She Dies Tomorrow.” Listen to the full episode below.  Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news!
