Once Upon a Time at the Oscars

Steven Spielberg steps into the world of musicals, something his enormous career has yet to tackle. And true to his style he goes big with one of the most popular musicals of all time. Impressive performances, gorgeous colors, and cinematography not normally found in the musical genre make this a film worthy of the best picture nomination. But does it have what it takes to take home the statuette? Find out on today's episode!

Perhaps the most surprising nomination this year, Adam McKay's satirical comedy left audiences and critics as divided as it's characters. It's hard to say if this film is truly worthy of a best picture nomination, or if the Academy's need for it's 10 slots to be filled gave it a fighting chance. Is this comedy too late to the game? We find out today!

Ryusuke Hamaguchi has made history this year with the first Japanese film nominated for Best Picture. And he did it with style! The little red Saab will no doubt become a classic film car, and this film will follow suit. After Parasite's win 2 years ago, a win for Drive My Car doesn't seem so farfetched. Listen along as we dive into this 3 hours masterpiece of a film. Don't worry, it only takes us like an hour.

The nominees are here and we're starting things off strong with Jane Campion's neo-western drama, The Power of the Dog. With a whopping 12 nominations this year it is leading the Oscars with the most nominations of all the films. But is this one getting a little more hype than it deserves? One of your hosts thinks so! Find out who on today's episode!

*Please note that this episode was recorded before the nominees for the 94th Academy Awards were announced. Therefore certain details, such as which categories this film received nominations for, are left out of this episode. Consider it more as a prediction episode that got at least the Best Picture nod right!*

The incomparable style of John Seitz, the tragedy of lost film and the lack of effort to restore Academy honored movies, and the merits of melodrama are all topics we cover on today's episode. Are these older stories that have been redone in one form or another worth revisiting? Or is an Oscar nominee not enough to support the longevity of a film?

Here we are, back where it all began (or at least close to it!). Our first film of 1931 is packed full of racism, sexism, and insensitivities. But is there still reason to watch Cimarron in the 21st century? Is it worth forcing your way through the many issues to find the value? That's ultimately up to you to decide, but find out what we thought on our first episode of Season 2!

Country. Noir. 'Nuff said right? Jennifer Lawrence looks for her Maltese Falcon in the shape of her missing father. But is this bleak, flannel filled mystery worthy of a best picture nominee? Or are we better off just forgetting it, that's Ozark-town. Either way, the cheap noir jokes end here, and the episode begins!

In a screenplay that feels built for the Coen Brothers, but somehow also the furthest from their usual style we get one of the best westerns of the decade! Comedy, interesting and likeable characters, and a beautiful look of the American West presented to us through the lens of Roger Deakins makes this an instant classic. And look, I didn't mention the world building in the episode. But the world building in this is subtle but amazing! Talk to me about it on Twitter or something! But only if you think you have grit!

Are animated films able to convey stories with the same impact as a live action movie? Why don't elements like cinematography and editing get more praise in animated films? And do you all ever wonder what happened to the shark toy from the first movie? He has that great moment wearing Woody's hat, and then he's gone forever. I think about him sometimes. I just hope he's happy, wherever he is ya know?
