Popcorn and Hemlock

The snubs! The not-snubs! Everything that falls somewhere between a snub and a not-snub! We're breaking it all down for you in this special 2015 OSCAR ROUNDUP edition of Popcorn & Hemlock. We tackle such meaty questions as: Can anything beat Boyhood? Why was Whiplash nominated in the Adapted Screenplay category? Who will win the Big British Biopic Battle? Should "biopics" even be a thing? And WILL we get to see The Lonely Island perform the song from The Lego Movie at the ceremony?! This and more! Come listen!

From Game of Thrones to MasterChef Junior, it's all about TV on today's episode of Popcorn & Hemlock. We talk about some of our favorite shows old and new, giving you a ton of options for what to watch during the summer TV lull.

We also cover some important philosophical questions, such as "who has it worse -- the characters in Game of Thrones or Louie?"

The episode ends with a roundup of some recent movie news (Harrison Ford broke his foot filming Star Wars?!!! Channing Tatum is maybe gonna get an Oscar?!?!!?!!!!!). Listen in for more!
