Walking the Venice Red Carpet (and getting ignored) + The Best Performances of the 21st Century

from Fred Asquith On Film

This week on FoF we have a deep dive into my Venice Film Festival VIP experience, including being ignored on the red carpet, the most annoying MC ever, and my attempts at celebrity spotting. We also discuss the movie itself "No Other Choice", as well as cover some recent news from the worlds of Bradley Cooper and Harry Potter. We then finish off with some of my favourite picks from The Ringer's Top 101 Performances of the 21st Century list, which you can find here. Explore the FoF socials/YT via my creepy website HERE.-TIMESTAMPS00:00 TikTok/Insta @fredasquithonfilm - THANKS FOR 10k!00:26 Agenda & Full Disclosure-My VENICE FILM FESTIVAL experience!01:44 Venice is strange04:29 The Bezos wedding must have been a nightmare05:37 Zero nightlife other than on super yachts06:37 Celebrity Spotting08:29 The vibe-killer lounge bar MC10:58 The Premieres are all on this pop-up island11:55 This was my first PROPER red carpet14:15 My shoes let me down.
