The Simplistic Reviews Podcast: 2013 Oscars Special

 In this very special edition of The Simplistic Reviews Podcast we break down the 2013 Academy Award, this Sunday, February 24th.  Will "Argo" make The Academy rue the day they didn't nominate Ben Affleck for a best actor award for "Gigli?"  Will another French Revolution occur with "Amour?"  Will we ever get to see the SyFy Original movie, "Zero Dark Thirty-One: The Return of bin Laden?"
