This week we are beginning to look at this year's Oscar nominees. Because of the delay, we are not sure exactly what "Anora" will be nominated for, but we are pretty certain it will be a lot of noms because this movie rules! We discuss the making of the film, and Mikey Madison's creation of Anora. We then dive into the film itself focusing on the filmmaking and performances. We finish the episode with a pair of double bills for your viewing pleasure!

It's OSCAR SEASON!!! We are beginning our annual Oscar Season with the 75th anniversary of "All About Eve." We talk a lot about this movie, so much so that we broke the SD card toward the end, and the sound got a little messed up. We are still proud of this episode, and the problem has now been fixed. There are a few missing sentences toward the end, but the beginning may be our best movie history ever! Enjoy as we gush over "All About Eve."

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This week we are uncovering the many mysteries of Stanley Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut." Spike says it is rare to read this much about "Eyes Wide Shut" and not be a nutjob. Decide for yourself whether that is true or not. We cover the long road to making this film, the scriptwriting process, and the longest production of all time. Then, we dive into this Christmas classic plot point by plot point and try our best to sell you on the idea that this movie rocks!

We finish the episode with a couple of double bills that may elucidate the film further or just give you a nice double bill to watch.
