Oscar Buzzkills

To anyone still listening, we love you. Besides SLAYING every transition in this episode, Mari and Jeff chat about the Fyre Fest documentaries, vomiting in other people’s rooms, Rent Live, and the SAG AWARDS! They go through all the winners and chat about what these wins mean for the Oscars. Plus, they take a break from movies and chat about the SAG TV award wins, too – and they can’t stop talking about the Assassination of Gianni Versace. The episode wraps up with a chat about Can You Ever Forgive Me? and the recognition Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant are getting for it. Mari needs to not like more movies.

P.S. If you actually liked Green Book, please tell us why we should watch it.

OSCAR NOMINATIONS ARE FINALLY HERE, and people are rightfully losing their minds. Mari and Jeff break down their predictions for the top awards, and we determine that Jeff is the perfect Oscar nom announcer. Plus, Mari overthinks the Supporting Actor category. And nobody cares about Animated Shorts, right? They also talk about the equally important Razzie Awards, honoring the worst in film from the past year, and go through the nominations and chose their picks for the winners… wait, losers? Mari and Jeff wrap up the episode with a discussion on If Beale Street Could Talk and how much of a vision Regina King is. Disclaimer: Mari keeps referencing that If Beale Street Could Talk is based off a true story and it for sure is not. Jeff doesn’t didn’t bother to correct her until way too late in the pod…

It’s not only Oscar nomination day… but you also get a brand-new Oscar Buzzkill episode! Mari and Jeff (or is Jeff actually acclaimed marine biologist Pete Renfro??) give you their favorite and least favorite wins of the Critics’ Choice Awards & Mari gets confused about why there were ties. Then they spill the tea about Oscar gift bags and let me tell you… these are not your average 8th grade birthday party gift bags. Jeff “unboxes” the 2018 gift bag and Mari gets angry! Your favorite award show duo also chats about BlacKkKlansman and are deeply unqualified to do so. Finally, Mari asks Jeff questions about Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse and they rate all the past Spiderman actors from best to worst. Spoiler: Andrew Garfield's hotness sways Mari's vote.

Mari and Jeff DIVE HEADFIRST into all things Golden Globes - Andy and Sandra, the jokes that landed and the jokes that didn't, the Fiji water girl, the red carpet, and of course the winners. We also ask the question that's been on everyone's mind: did Justin Hurwitz also score Disney's Jump In with Corbin Bleu? And what did Amy Adams do to make the Hollywood Foreign Press hate her?!? They wrap up the episode with a conversation about Vice, how young they were during the Bush administration and how scared they are of Dick Cheney. Thank you to Satan for the inspiration on this podcast. #AdamMcKaycontinuity

It's 2019, and the movies and awards WON'T STOP ladies and gents! Jeff and Mari break down how the Oscar voting system works and what exactly needs to happen for a movie or person to be considered and win an Oscar - follow along with us on the 7 Step Journey, won't you? (Mari also has an existential crisis when she realizes how similar the process is to sorority recruitment...) They also break down The Favourite and Mary Poppins Returns. Will Jeff finally hop on the Mary Poppins train or will he shit on it once again like a Burger King toilet?

Merry Christmas, movie lovers! Mari's recovering from laryngitis and her and Jeff had to re-record this episode cause Mari's computer crashed, but it's all the the spirit of Christmas right?! The show must go on! Jeff and Mari talk about the Oscars Shortlist and the Critic's Choice Awards noms. They also DEEP DIVE into Beautiful Boy (and Jeff FINALLY hopes on the Timothee Chalamet train, kinda) and Roma (pure cinematic beauty).

Episode 2 of Oscar Buzzkills is all about #continuity, so of course we break away from our regular format to chat NOMS NOMS NOMS! The Golden Globe Awards and SAG Awards nominations are out, so Mari and Jeff take a deep dive into all the movies and actors! We also share our faves for Oscars predictions. Kevin Hart ISN’T hosting the Oscars? Adam McKay wasn’t Batman in the 1960s?? The Academy has an ass up their ass?! Let’s get GLOBEY and SAGGY.

And the Oscar goes to... Mari and Jeff for finally finding an outlet to talk about the award show season. On the first episode of Oscar Buzzkills, we give a recap of the awards that have been given out so far, chat about A Star is Born and Bohemian Rhapsody (ooo musical movies) and give our early predictions.
