In honor of all the Oscar nominations for "Get Out," I'm reposting episode 337 from February 27, 2017, recorded right after I watched it for the first time. I went on to name it the top film of the year and am currently freaking out about all those nominations.

Is "Get Out" still a horror movie because it got so many nominations? Is "Shape of Water" a drama with a monster because it got 13? Is "Three Billboards" a 100% good movie or just 3/4? Andrew answers these questions AND operates his car at the same time. Get more on Instagram @cinemandrew

Is "It" really any better than other modern horror flicks like "The Conjuring" and "Insidious"? Why did it make the mega millions and garner such a huge fan base? Two horror fans - one who raced out to see "It" and one who decidedly did not - explore possible reasons for it's success.

Unlike most top 10 movie lists you'll see, mine isn't full of fancy-pants stuff that still hasn't been released where you live. Okay, maybe one or two, but for the most part, you've either seen these or you can do so without much hassle. I'm ok if you eat popcorn during this podcast, but please keep the phone on silent.

"The Shape of Water" doesn't contain any more violence than the average PG-13 action or horror movie. So why is it rated R? Because someone finally made a monster movie for grown-ups, that's why. Andrew gives the details without spoiling too much. Follow @cinemandrew on Instagram and stuff.

For this season's final CultCure episode, Andrew and Kate chew on the 1977 Italian shocker, "Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals," also known as "Trap Them and Kill Them," starring the inimitable Laura Gemser in the title role. WARNING: This recording is not for the faint of heart or sensitive of stomach!

Should "The Last Jedi" have been split into two movies? When will we see Kylo Stimpy? Best pals and former video store clerks Andrew and Sam engage in a spolier-filled lightsaber duel in honor of the latest in the "Star Wars" franchise that has fans polarized.

Andrew is joined by Dayton, Ohio's hardest-working independent filmmaker Henrique Couto for this look at "The Disaster Artist" and re-evaluation of Tommy Wiseau's "The Room." Couto's latest film "The Devil's Trail" is now available on DVD and Amazon Prime. Follow Andrew on Instagram @cinemandrew

With the unique way it presents childhood and adulthood by way of summer outside the Magic Kingdom, “Tangerine” director Sean Baker’s new movie “The Florida Project” is unlike anything you’ll see this year. Lots of feels with this one. Follow Andrew on In
