Listen to a PREVIEW of the fifth episode of How Did They Win, a special bonus series you can hear on the And the Runner-Up Is Patreon exclusive feed!

How Did They Win is a series in which Kevin is joined by special guests in breaking down a notable Oscar category outside of Best Picture. In this episode, Kevin speaks with Tom O'Brien and Amy Thomasson about Bong Joon-ho winning Best Director at the 2019 Oscars. This episode includes a breakdown of each nominee, a discussion of why they were nominated, why four of them lost, why Bong won, and all the notable snubs.

You can listen to more bonus episodes by going to patreon.com/andtherunnerupis and contributing at the $3 per month tier.

Please note that there are parts of this episode where my voice is a bit muffled. I had to do a little extra editing this week by adding in my individual voice feed to all the points where I'm talking on my own, but I couldn't quite work around some of the crosstalk. Just giving you the heads up!
