The 1001 by 1 crew gets ready for Oscar season by briefly discussing the polarizing film from Jacques Audiard on Netflix “Emilia Perez”. We break the few things that do work (notably Zoe Saldana), the many things that don’t work (trust us, there are oodles), and what the film’s Academy Award chances are. Afterwards, we each give three movies that when we finished made us the ask the question (for better or worse), “What the f**k did I just watch?”
