For the 80th anniversary of its release, the show revisits the classic film Casablanca. Izzy becomes mesmerized by Ingrid Bergman’s glow while Murtada is firmly team Humphrey Bogart’s Rick and has no time for Paul Henried’s Laszlo. Joining the conversation is film professor Noah Isenberg, author of the book We’ll Always Have Casablanca, who talks about the film’s enduring legacy and the immigrants and refugees who made it.

While Izzy and Murtada mourn TÁR’s total lack of Academy recognition, they delight in Everything Everywhere All at Once’s cultural resonance and its actors’ triumphant end of the Oscars season. Murtada questions the uncritical gaze of Navalny, while Izzy wonders why Bette Davis wasn’t featured in the Warner Bros centennial tribute. Plus favorite speeches and other moments from the Oscars show!

In their second podcast episode EVER, Izzy and Murtada discuss the acting nominees for the 2022 Academy Awards! Murtada succumbs to biopicitis, and Izzy actively tries not to award everyone in The Banshees of Inisherin. Both unequivocally, yet again, support Ms. Blanchett but try not to be annoying about it. And it all starts with Angela Bassett, of course.
