Cody is gone :'( but the podcast soldiers on. Hopefully we can soldier on better than 1917 did at the Oscars. Special guest Zach (star of the lost Star Wars episode) rejoins the pod to help Evan break down an Oscars Sunday full of bad music and *mostly* good surprises.

We decided to talk Bad Boys after all. Evan and Cody dive into the franchise and discuss what they liked, what they didn't like, and what they feel worked. There was surely some disagreement if you are into that sort of thing. And if the Bad Boys franchise is not enough to get your fill, we also have a short general segment on franchises and where certain franchises compare to this modern day of the film industry.

2019 was great, but man is 2020 going to be even better. To kick things off here at STR we want to fill you in on what we are looking forward to being released this year. And from these known films, what we here at STR are most excited for, or not excited for. Evan still not jumping on that Disney train. But that's ok, for we are both full steam ahead when it comes to this season on the STR podcast. And we just want to be here to bring a little bit of our foolish selves when we discuss these movies. So stay tuned, stay engaged, and enjoy the same us here in 2020!

It's 2020 and a new season is finally under way here at Spinning the Reel! (Apologies for the hiatus.) But we are glad to be back and have plenty in store for our Reelers, new and old, for this year. In order to move forward however, we need to look back at 2019 and discuss all the Oscar nominations, or lack of. But one thing for sure that isn't changing is the ongoing jokes, rants, and discussion amongst Cody and Evan are never ending.
