Oscars & Cinema Love, Hate, Love - Why, What and How; an editorial

About this episode

The hosts discuss their thoughts on the Oscars and the state of cinema in a special editorial episode.

For their 230th episode, two golden critics, two statuesque dads, and centrist school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, continue their return from a short sabbatical with a special editorial episode. The recent 98th Academy Awards came and went recently. While the two-horse battle between "One Battle After Another" and "Sinners," made for decent Oscar drama, our podcast hosts didn't watch the show and found themselves over what they used to love. They discuss what's wrong with the Oscars and ways to fix them. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate.
