Mark Johnson joins the Water Cooler as he and Joey reveal everything that went down at the 2025 Middleburg Film Festival.

Joey returned from his third year covering the Middleburg Film Festival for The Contending. This week, he and podcast special guest Mark Johnson dish on the details of the festival. Hosted at the luxurious Salamander Resort and Spa, the Middleburg Film Festival offers a wide array of Oscar-friendly features, documentaries, and more in the hills of Virginia. What films did this audience love? Were any films poorly received? And what did the panels reveal about the players in this year’s Oscar race?

Plus, Megan gets ready for her annual trip to the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. What can we expect from her coverage of this beloved film festival? Plus, check out her recent SCAD prep podcast!

We close our podcast with a Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.
