Not sure what to watch? Your next big read? The inaugural episode of The Hive with Buzz Books shares the stories we're buzzing about this week in film, television and books. Host Malena Lott shoots the s**t with film critic Phil Bacharach on the Golden Globe awards, the movies he thinks you MUST see before the Oscars and what's on his bedside table. Reading material, people.

A few more highlights:

George Clooney - a shoe-in for best actor or will a “silent film” actor take his place? Can the Descendants beat The Artist for top spot? Why Phil thinks you should give Tree of Life a shot, even if it feels like it’s 22 hours long. Why great sports movies usually aren’t about the sport. i.e. Moneyball Why watching “bad” feels so good. (Justified, Breaking Bad.)
