The Big Short is astounding. It gets it right where it needs to be and makes you root against the evil housing market and everyone involved. Although Joey goes on a political tangent and Scott has to bring us back a couple of times, it's worth it.

If I didn't dig Irish chicks and redheads I probably wouldn't have shown up for this one. Seriously, a total snooze fest. If you like movies about the 50's, immigration and the most boring love triangle between two continents, this movie is for you.

From the title, you know there are spies and a bridge involved somewhere. A recipe for Oscar nominations involves either Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg or the Coen brothers. This film has all three. Would it help? Nope. It won't win and it shouldn't.

Better late than never I guess. Although this is our 200th episode, we recorded it on April 7th 2016. Why the wait? We tried to do something nice but failed miserbly. Instead, enjoy a SPOILER filled review of Batman v Superman! You've been warned.

Although not a bad film, its been recognized and touted by subject matter alone. Nothing new has been brought to the table cinematically and it's dreadfully formulaic. Without the subject matter, mediocre and probably not a Best Picture nominee either.

It's rare when a novel is adapted into its cinematic counterpart leaving you with all kinds of emotions. It's even rarer when the author writes the screenplay for said film and the result isn't a giant steaming pile of...you get the idea.

Our favorite film from all the nominees and definitely what "should" be the clear cut winner. A near perfect film and under an even deeper analysis, it probably is. Innaritu will probably win Best Director as they will definitely split on Best Picture.

With Mad Max being a sequel it's surprising it was nominated for Best Picture. What's not so surprising is just how damn good it is. Should it win? Probably not. Would we be disappointed? Not really.

The Oscar season begins for Scott and Joey and what better way to kick things off than to review the film The Martian. This review Isn't totally spoiler free, just a heads up. Also, the lack of black Oscar nominees is discussed.

Scott gives a spoiler free mini review of the horrible film The Forest. We also go in deep for this year's 2015 Oscar Nominations. A favorite of the show.
