It’s awards season, and Hollywood with Matty and Alex is officially in its Oscar era. 🏆✨

This week, Matty and Alex break down the Oscar nominations — the snubs that hurt, the surprises we didn’t see coming, and the categories that sparked immediate debate. From major acting races to Best Picture chaos, nothing is safe from our hot takes.

Who deserved more love? Who got in by the skin of their teeth? And which movies are about to dominate the conversation until the big night?

Grab your ballots, cue the dramatic music, and join us as we unpack Hollywood’s biggest morning of the year. 🎙️🍿

This week, we’re jumping into a chaotic grab-bag of comfort movies, nostalgia picks, and absolute cinematic curveballs. 🐭👑🔔

From the mystery vibes of The Great Mouse Detective, the musical magic of Anastasia, and the emotional powerhouse that is The Hunchback of Notre Dame, we’re unpacking why these animated classics still hit so hard.

But we don’t stop there — we’re also diving into:

✨ Stranger Things

✨ Gone Girl

✨ Beautiful Boy

… and whatever else we got sidetracked with (which is… a lot).

If you love nostalgia, unhinged tangents, and three friends who cannot stay on one topic, this episode is for you. 🎙️💚
