An Oscars veteran (me) and an Oscars virgin (my sister-in-law) talk all manner of controversies and happenings surrounding the 97th annual ceremony - Sofia Gascon tweets, Adrien Brody's gum, Sean Baker's sweep and the cat from Flow - it's all covered by two people not really qualified to be this opinionated!

Uni is done for the year, so I had some extra time to recount the memes and memories of the year with one of my nearest and dearest friends, Maddie. Listen as we cringe over viral culture, condemn cancelled celebrities and go on completely random tangents because of who we are as people. We promise this won't ruin the tour.
