We’re updating our 2026 Best Picture predictions! In this episode, we break down the top contenders—Sinners, Sentimental Value, Marty Supreme, and Jay Kelly—and re-rank them based on critical buzz, festival potential, box office strength, and industry momentum. We also talk about the Oscar Expert app and how it’s building a new kind of Oscar prediction community. With festival season just around the corner, we’re getting bold with our picks.

From indie hits to viral web series, a new generation of female and nonbinary filmmakers are rewriting the rules of Hollywood. We dive into how creators like Celine Song, Rachel Sennott, and Cazzie David are telling real, raw stories—and why original voices matter more than ever.

In this episode, we dive into Saltburn — Emerald Fennell’s twisted, hyper-aesthetic tale of obsession, privilege, and seriously unhinged behavior. We’re talking Barry Keoghan’s wild performance, Jacob Elordi’s rich-boy allure, and that final scene. Is it deep? Is it dumb? Let’s unpack the mess together.

We revisit the film adaptation of RENT — the iconic rock musical that once defined a generation. Does the raw emotion and rebellious spirit still resonate, or has its edge dulled over time? Let’s talk legacy, love, and whether "No day but today" still hits the same.

This week, we dive into The Edge of Seventeen — a brutally honest, unexpectedly hilarious coming-of-age film that still hits just as hard. From awkward crushes to deep grief, we unpack why Nadine’s chaotic teen spiral feels so real, and what this movie gets right about growing up when you feel like you don’t belong anywhere.

We’re diving into The Map That Leads to You, a romantic travel story that blends wanderlust with real emotional stakes. From golden-hour hookups to gut-punch revelations, we unpack why this adaptation hits harder than expected—and why it might just inspire your next big detour.

Before Nike was king and Air Jordans ruled the world, it was just a scrappy company betting it all on a rookie named Michael Jordan. We break down Air — Ben Affleck’s sharp, fast-talking sports drama about business, branding, and the power of belief (plus Viola Davis being iconic, as always).

In this episode, we dive into The Greatest Hits — a dreamy, emotional spin on love, loss, and time travel through music. What happens when songs don’t just bring back memories, but literally take you there? Let’s unpack Harriet’s journey, vinyl by vinyl.

Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore go head-to-head in Todd Haynes' May December — a twisted, campy, and unexpectedly emotional look at performance, power, and scandal. We dive into the layers of identity, morality, and why this film has everyone feeling a little uncomfortable (in the best way).

We’re revisiting Kathryn Bigelow’s war thriller The Hurt Locker — explosive set pieces, raw realism, and one reckless bomb tech at the center of it all. But does the intensity hold up when the dust settles? Let’s break it down.
