In this very special episode, I'm recapping the 2026 Oscars with NO ENCORE wunderkind host Dave Hanratty and discussing the downfall of Timothée Chalamet's Oscar campaign, the justice of Amy Madigan taking Best Supporting Actress, the inherent pointlessness of awards season in the wider context, and basically just yakking about the whole thing.

Elsewhere, we get into a thorny enough subject - influencers and content creators in the film space. Are they simply mercs-for-hire by studio marketing machines, or are they simply an evolution in the age of social media from journalists and critics? Would you trust a review from an influencer over a journalist or critic? Let us know what you think in the comments and don't forget to like and subscribe! See, I'm no better than any of them looking for engagement like this. Christ, I make myself sick sometimes.
