The 2025-26 University of Illinois College of Media Roger Ebert Fellows discuss “One Battle After Another”.

Thursday night December 28 at 7:00 on WILL-FM 90.9 “The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival” is pre-empted to bring you a holiday special: “The Film Score: Music for the Winter Holidays”. At 8:00 it’s “The Middle”: a weekly, non-partisan call-in talk show on politics.  

Not all holiday movies are created equal, certainly not in the eyes of the 2022-23 U of I College of Media Roger Ebert Fellows.

In this web exclusive, Roger Ebert Fellows Hal Burgan, Coltrane Zerai-Che, and Xinyi Li preview some of the films nominated for Best Picture in the 2020 Oscars and pick out some of the biggest snubs from this year's awards. 

A conversation with WILL's Lisa Bralts and Tim Meyers, co-creators of the documentary looking at the history of Roger Ebert's Film Festival at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign. The new documentary, premeiring April 4, also previews the 18th annual Ebertfest, April 13-17.
