We kick things off with Florian Zeller's debut feature The Father (1:57), Aaron Sorkin's historical courtroom drama Trial of the Chicago 7 (12:34), and Emerald Fennell's thriller Promising Young Woman (23:50).

We're catching up on the Best Picture nominees as we get into April!

Sho tackles Riz Ahmed's career-best performance in Sound of Metal (3:18), David Fincher's latest in Mank (13:30), and the latest blockbuster to hit theatres/streaming services in Godzilla vs. Kong (25:10).

Plus, some - probably entirely unnecessary - day-after musings on the alpha titans' grudge match (35:40)!

With the Oscar Nominations officially out ahead of next month's ceremony, Sho discusses some of the issues (snubs, namely) with the 2021 Nominations so far.

Afterwards, he brings on friend and film buff James Mackin to further dissect the year's proceedings (13:59).

We go from one end of the movie spectrum to another in this episode, as Sho discusses Chloe Zhao's highly praised Nomadland (4:04) and Disney Animation's latest creation Raya and the Last Dragon (14:05).

Finally, with the Snyder Cut upon us, Sho reviews the four-hour superhero epic, Zack Snyder's Justice League (23:50).

Sho actually lives up to his end of the bargain, and puts out a second episode before the end of February (shocker, I know)!

He tackles five films, including the biographical drama Judas and the Black Messiah (3:10), Netflix's Malcolm & Marie (12:00), Amazon Prime's disaster flick Greenland (21:15), the space opera Space Sweepers (28:19), and Lee Isaac Chung's semi-autobiographical Minari (35:42).

The New Year is here, and with it comes a new episode (it's February, I know)!

Sho kicks things off by going over some great new TV shows that have been keeping his attention (hello, HBO/Cinemax's Warrior), and also discusses the long career of Christopher Plummer, who passed away at the age of 91 (12:35).

Afterwards, Sho gets into DC's Wonder Woman 1984 (16:25), Disney/Pixar's latest in Soul (28:18), and Chadwick Boseman's last film role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (37:08).

With the news coming out of the Disney Investor's Call regarding the House of Mouse's plans for Star Wars and Disney, Sho breaks down some of the announcements (3:07), including how it all ties together across the various cinematic universes.

Afterwards, some incendiary comments from directors Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve towards the 2021 HBO Max streaming decision are in the news, and Sho discusses the latest from Warner Bros., and how it affects the film industry going forward (27:45).

We're (almost) into November, so Sho looks back and tackles three streaming movies (despite their limited theatre engagement, certainly) - Sofia Coppola's first outing for Apple in On The Rocks (27:35), and two Netflix offerings, Enola Holmes (10:14) and The Devil All The Time (17:44).

Sean Connery, the legend behind James Bond (among many, many roles), also passed away at age 90, so Sho looks back on some of his favourite Connery roles as well (1:30).

Sho tackles two of the most recently released blockbusters, Disney's Premium VOD outing of Mulan (6:25) and Christopher Nolan's latest mind-bender Tenet (18:10), and also offers up a few thoughts on the passing of Chadwick Boseman.

TIFF 2020 is in full swing, and Sho also took in some digital screenings of Mads Mikkelsen's Another Round (27:56), Idris Elba's Concrete Cowboy (35:10), and Regina King's directorial debut, One Night in Miami (43:56).
