When Nate is away the mice will play! Or at least stumble through a solo recording and editing session. In this episode, Julia talks about a few films that got Academy Award nominations but that were short-lived or not-at-all-lived in theaters. And good news— some of these have special screenings coming up around town! Listen for more about:

* when distributors prioritize certain films over others

* you still have a chance to see the Andrea Gibson doc not on Apple TV+!

* motorcycle-riding feminists

* the most beautiful film of the year was cheated from its silver screen moment

* Oscar-themed Playweek merch!!!! Shop the Golden Statue Collection here.
