Get ready to activate and make irreversible decisions as we discuss expectations of women in Hollywood, parallels to other horror films, mother/daughter casting duos, and if this film will open up the door to more horror being positively recevied by the academy.

Join us for a breakdown of the 215 minute epic (intermission not included in this pod) where we discuss what really is brutalism, the cost of the American dream, how AI could be the future in cinema, and if the academy prefers technically skilled films over screenplays for a best picture choice. Thanks for listening and enjoy the movies!!

Chris rewatch/Corissia first watch!! It's time for the 35th anniversary of a Scorsese classic as we determine where this sits in his hall of fame, if the Soprano's would've existed without this film, if movies need rootable characters or not, and how good of an actor you need to be for us to not pay attention to your characters age. Thanks for listening and enjoy the movies!!

Catch us with our very impromptu reactions after the 97th Academy Award nominations were announced. We'll do a quick dive into our initial thoughts, what we still need to watch, what we hope might soar through with a win, and why this matters so much to us.

Thanks for listening and enjoy the movies!!

It's the 20th anniversary and join us to discuss Philip Seymour Hoffman's oscar winning performance and the characters motives, if true crime has taken over too much over our media consumption, where non-fiction books began, and where does dramatization override the facts (and does society care?)
