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.

Things we mention in the podcast: 

Murtada’s review of The Whale and Brendan’s Fraser’s performance @ AV Club 

Murtada’s review of Aftersun and Paul Mescal’s performance @ AV Club
