In this week's episode, me and Emma take a look back at some of the films that were nominated for best picture but then wrongly snubbed! This episode doesn't contain any impressions of any kind... (i know that's what you listen for, sorry!)

In this week's episode, we talk about sci-fi films that arent Star Wars and give some love to the sci-fi genre. We also talk about Emma's encounter with William Shatner, Cos-Play chickens, and growing old!
