We return to a theme that we haven't done in a while.  Would you believe that neither one of us had seen The Searchers or Shane? Well, this week we correct that injustice. We talk about The Duke and his playing against type, watching these movies in 2023 and how Shane got all of those Oscar nominations.

Showtime, A-holes!  The Guardians are back for one last adventure in this configuration, and they have to deal with Adam Warlock and a guy who is channeling Katherine Helmond's facelift from Brazil.

We wade into the mind of Ari Aster (maybe too far?) and his take on mommy issues and anxiety.

We finally have gotten around to our favorite films of 2022! We each count down our favorites and sprinkle some honorable mentions in there. Paul also talks about finishing up his run of performances in Richmond!

We go through the big categories for the big night and pick who we would vote for and who we each think will win.

We catch up with Scott Lang and his family mostly in the quantum realm and get to see Jonathan Majors once again as Kang. Then we sprinkle on a bit of our perceptions of Cocaine Bear. Watch us on YouTube Here

This episode we focus on Sarah Polley's new film focusing on the the importance of being heard.  We get into why this needed to be a film instead of a play, how the cinematography and shot selection contributed to the narrative and which scene should have gotten Jessie Buckley an Oscar nod.

This week we are finally getting to two spectacle movies that definitely benefit from being seen in the theater. Babylon is uncompromising and ambitious and Top Gun: Maverick lived up to the hype, in spite of its seemingly "lazy" concept. The movies are back! (fingers crossed)

We are back with a quick cuts episode of what we have been watching. How many of these will get Oscar noms?

We look back at Steven Spielberg looking back at his young life through a well-lit, richly textured lens. Josh enjoyed the journey while Paul was left with questions... Check out our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@actorandengineerpodcast9968
