Now that the Oscars are over and the Ghibli-thon is winding down, Adam and Kyrie are back to their regularly scheduled programming with another Arts vs Charts! Adam wanted to revisit 2023's Past Lives and opted to pair it with another film about lost love, the classic Casablanca. Kyrie also got to see the new hit, Project Hail Mary and gave some thoughts. Adam is planning to see it next week in 70mm IMAX and will weigh in then!

Kyrie and Adam are back with a bit of a shorter episode before diving back into the regularly scheduled programming. But they of course had to discuss the OSCARS! A few surprising moments, a few less surprising moments, and they discuss what next year might look like with it being on YouTube. They also talk about the highly anticipated Project Hail Mary coming out this weekend...possibly the first Oscar contender of 2026?

Kyrie and Adam weigh in on some new releases, discussing Hoppers, Wuthering Heights, Crime 101, and Pillion. And then the get into what we all want to talk about: The Oscars! Adam is mad man and successfully watched every single film that is nominated from 2025, all 50 of them! Kyrie shares predictions, with Adam giving some input. And Adam offers perspectives on some of the lesser known films and categories. All in all, this will be an awards ceremony to remember!

The Studio Ghibli journey continues as Adam and Kyrie just can't seem to get enough of these films! They focus on another one of the central themes throughout the studio's movies: war or, maybe more appropriately, anti-war. The get into some of the beloved classics like Castle in the Sky, Porco Rosso, How's Moving Castle, and more! And don't forget...the Oscar's are coming up fast, so get those last minute watches in and have your predictions ready to go!

Adam and Kyrie continue with the February theme of love and romance by diving into their top 3 romantic comedies! They each have some honorable mentions that they chat about a little at first, but then they really discuss the cream of the crop. And Kyrie realizes that there's a lot of work to do in actually watching more good rom-coms. Adam also talks about some of the new releases that he caught in theaters and which ones are worth watching, while Kyrie continues to drown in schoolwork.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so Adam and Kyrie opted to go for a couple of romance films for our Arts v Charts picks this month. One of Kyrie's favorite romance movies is the beautifully sapphic, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, so, of course, that one had to be discussed. And it's paired with the beloved classic, Pride and Prejudice. They're also gearing up for the Oscar's, so make sure to keep your eye out for those episodes in the coming weeks!

Long story short, Adam and Kyrie can't get enough of Studio Ghibli, so now the aforementioned "Studio Ghibli episode" is now a series of episodes where they discuss different themes. And a major theme that shows up in many of these films is environmentalism. So, they discuss Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Pom Poko, and Kyrie's personal favorite, Princess Mononoke.

At long last...the start of the Ghibli episodes! Adam and Kyrie share some of their history with Studio Ghibli and their experiences watching them in preparation for these episodes. They also give some background on the creation of Studio Ghibli and the creators themselves. Then they dive in and share their thoughts on Earwig and the Witch, My Neighbors the Yamadas, Ocean Waves, Tales from Earthsea, and The Cat Returns.

Adam and Kyrie are back with another Arts vs Charts and Adam really decided to dive into the deep end with their first Lynch film! Looking at Mulholland Drive and Memento, they talk about memory and dreams and how aspects of those play out in these two movies. They also spend some time talking through some fun theories, particularly with David Lynch's film. And don't forget to check out the newly released Oscar nominations!

While last week Adam and Kyrie recapped all things 2025, this week they look ahead to what's coming out in 2026! They touch on things like the new Looney Tunes film Coyote vs Acme, Project Hail Mary, Wuthering Heights, and that's just the start! They each also share their top 3 films that they're particularly excited to see come out this year.
