This week marks the end of another SXSW Film & TV Festival, where IndieWire’s “Screen Talk” co-host Ryan Lattanzio was on the ground to review and cover films including Nicole Kidman’s suburban satire “Holland,” A24’s horror-comedy “Death of a Unicorn,” and Matthew McConaughey’s first film role in six years with the bluegrass-tinted Oklahoma Western “The Rivals of Amziah King.”

We recap the festival on this week’s “Screen Talk” episode, where documentaries including “The Python Hunt” (the first nonfiction film from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Artists Equity) and the UFO investigation “The Age of Disclosure” popped on the ground. “The Python Hunt” centers on a snake-hunting contest in the Florida Everglades and has earned comparisons to “Tiger King.” Meanwhile, while “The Age of Disclosure” wowed audiences with its talking-heads access (including a pre-Secretary of State Marco Rubio), this inquiry into the U.S. government’s coverup of alleged alien spacecraft crashes could’ve used a tighter edit and better surveillance footage. Both are looking for acquisitions out of SXSW, and should have no trouble finding them based on reviews.

Also on “Screen Talk,” co-host Anne Thompson digs into why Universal Pictures should’ve released “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” the fourth film in the franchise based on Helen Fielding’s novels, in theaters. While the Renée Zellweger-starring romantic comedy made $100 million in 71 countries overseas so far and counting, the film went straight to Peacock in the U.S. That’s because even though it’s a pre-branded sequel, Universal decided to save marketing dollars and back-end payments and go straight to streaming.

As Anne explains, the studio has every right to defend its bottom-line spending. But what if there’s a new mandate for the studios, if not Netflix, which was never in the theater business: Feed the theaters. Keep moviegoing alive. A big studio like Universal might only recoup $10 or 15 million in domestic theatrical rentals on a $50 million movie like this, and spend as much to market it. But we need the studios to support theaters whenever possible. If they just serve their own pocketbooks and streaming platforms, we may wind up with no theater business at all.

Later on the podcast, we also look at two hot new TV series: Seth Rogen’s Hollywood-centric “The Studio” over at Apple TV+ and Netflix’s harrowing four-part crime drama “Adolescence,” from Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham. It’s centered on a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering a classmate, and each episode unfolds in a single take. If viewers tune into “Adolescence,” this could be the next “Baby Reindeer” in terms of zeitgeist appeal out of the U.K.
