Well it has been a big week for hot takes. Our heads are spinning, but we’re making sense of all the ways the world reacted to “the slap” at this year’s Oscar ceremony. If you’re wondering what else happened on the night, good news; plenty of good stuff. We’ll wrap on the big highlights and most moving moments. And debrief on the best lewks on the red carpet. The Academy Awards has sucked up a lot of time this week, but don’t worry we’ve found a corner to chat about the Vulva Spacecraft. And we’re banging on about After Life and a couple of fun Wordle offshoots.
