In 2022, Noah Baumbach follow-up up his biggest Oscar success, Marriage Story, by tackling Don DeLillo&#8217;s unadaptable novel White Noise. The satire stars Adam Driver as the leading professor in &#8220;Hitler studies&#8221; whose family faces chaos and confusion from a cataclysmic disaster known as the Airborne Toxic Event. Prestigiously opening NYFF (after also opening Venice), the film left many scratching their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode, we talk about our hopes for Baumbach&#8217;s upcoming Jay Kelly and the history of NYFF openers. We also talk about the film&#8217;s closing sequence set to LCD Soundsystem, Greta Gerwig&#8217;s acting return in the film, and the film&#8217;s large budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics also include 2022 Original Song, Little Hugs (which we incorrectly call Huggies), and the film&#8217;s production design.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_8424\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1334-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_343_White_Noise.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_343_White_Noise.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_343_White_Noise.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_343_White_Noise.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=1334-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_343_White_Noise.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_343_White_Noise.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Festival Fever comes to an end this week with a look at the last major film festival of the year, the New York Film Festival.
