They clearly don’t have a set calendar for eligibility. You have Civil War from April 12 2024 through Bring Her Back on May 30, 2025. Their press release didn’t bother to explain, so we’re left to wonder. But that’s the most interesting thing about this slate. Strong critical reception (I Saw the TV Glow) didn’t translate very far. Not much else can be said about these.
