While hosts Sarah and Jennie have always promised that Screen Cares isn’t just another movie podcast that provides lists and critique, the upcoming 95th Academy Awards Ceremony is the “elephant in the room” for a podcast that is centered on cinema. Jennie and Sarah share their experience with the Oscars and explore ways to make deeper connections using this years’ nominated movies by using the Screen Shares Rating system.

Screen Shares Winners: Want to use this year’s Academy Award nominated movies as a bridge to forge connections or interesting conversations with the people in your life? Check out your favorite movie podcast hosts’ Screen Cares Rating System as a way to guide your movie-watching and chatting experience this week:

• Solo Screen- For introspection and a movie to enjoy alone, we encourage you to check out Everything, Everywhere, All at Once and Marcel the Shell With Shoes On.
• Buddy Screen- When you’re looking for a great movie to watch with friends, watch Causeway and Banshees of Inisherin for interesting friendships. 
• Work Screen- While it may not always feel natural, recommending movies to colleagues is a great way to spark a great conversation. For these great professional watches, stream both Elvis and The Elephant Whisperers;
• Family Screen- To engage with your family for a fun movie night, we suggest Marcel the Shell with Shoes On and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
• Little Screen- Movie watching with the special kids in your life can encourage precious conversations, like those found in The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse.
• Love Screen- Watching movies with a significant other or potential significant other is a wonderful way to consider compatibility, love, weirdness, passion and whether your partner is documentary-watching-material or not, so grab your romantic partner and watch Fire of Love and Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
