Just Say Talk!

In today's episode, we discuss the Naughty Dog hit videogame turned HBO Max hit show - The Last of Us! The season is halfway over, so the team and I recap the past 5 episodes, relive our favorite moments, and share our predictions for the future. Season 2 is already on the schedule, baby!

In today's episode, I have a conversation (and semi-interview) with a friend from grad school - Lane Fortenberry! He's been my movie talk buddy for a few years now, so I decided to finally use our friendship to my own advantage and have him on the pod. 

We discuss our love of cinema, best/worst movies of 2022, and his own personal journey into filmmaking! And of course I get his award season opinions :)

Sorry for the 3 week hiatus, I was very tired. Capitalism is hard!

Anyways. In today's episode, we FINALLY get to discuss the recently released Oscar Nominations for the year of our lord and savior - 2023! A lot of them actually turned out surprisingly well... and then our luck ran out.

There are snubs. There are some shocking revelations. And much more. Let's get into it :)    

**Some audio cut out with us talking about Best Supporting Actress - which is why we were giggling about Ms. Jaime Lee Curtis**

We are back again to discuss this year's new crop of films! The good, the bad, and the absolutely unwatchable. Hopefully we can help diversify your film tastes, and find your new favorite movie :)

ft. my homies - Ethan and Joy - as always, enjoy!

In today's episode, I do one of my favorite things... complain about the Academy! You know the one. In charge of the Academy Awards/Oscars. Every year it gets messier and messier, and I absolutely live for the drama.

We also play a new game I just made up for the podcast, completely 100% my idea and no one else's - Smash or Pass: Movie Edition!

Outro song: "No Time to Die" - Billie Eilish (Best Original Song Academy Award nominee)

Welcome back. As you can tell by the title, I have a bone to pick with the (for now) Governor of Texas.

Greg Abbott is going after the trans youth of Texas and their families. It's another tale of ignorance, hubris, self-preservation, and politically-motivated opinions that only serve to persecute/harm marginalized communities. Let's get into the absolute tomfoolery!

Outro song: Civil War by Peppermint (Drag Queen & trans icon)

Told you this episode would be more fun! 

The Academy Awards/Oscars recently announced nominations for the year of our Lord and savior, 2022. So of course, I got together the other three people I know are just as obsessed with awards season as I am for a second year in a row!

My dear friends, Joy Puder, Austin Heath, and Ethan Beach are here to discuss who we think will take home those coveted golden statues, who was snubbed, and who... definitely pulled some favors to get their nominations. Hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did recording it! :)

End credit song: "Be Alive" - Beyonce

The best way to kick off the new pod? Talking depression, anxiety, and religious trauma! Forgive me for the sound issues, I have since figured out WHY MY MIC WASN"T CONNECTED :(  so next time it'll be much better :)

I swear the next episode will be fun...
