Legendary journalist—and Reason's resident movie reviewer—Kurt Loder talks with Nick Gillespie about this year's Academy Awards, which take place on Sunday, March 4, starting at 8:00 P.M. E.T.

The Rolling Stone and MTV veteran discusses why he loved best-picture nominees Lady Bird and Get Out but found The Post a total snooze-fest; ruminates on the singular career of best-actor nominee Gary Oldman, who has played Winston Churchill, Sid Vicious, and Lee Harvey Oswald, among nutjobs; how Wonder Woman and Black Panther benefited from having a female and African-American director, respectively; and explains why he thinks Harvey Weinstein should burn in hell but also that the #MeToo movement in Hollywood has gone too far in chucking over due process when it comes to James Franco. Loder talks about—and welcomes!—the end of baby-boomer cultural hegemony, how horror and moster movies captured his generation's heart, and what a recent biography of Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner got wrong.
