The Lost Signals

It’s MOTScars season again, and anarchy reigns as TLS proceeds without a show-host in their discussion of the good, the bad, and the snubbed films of the 2019 Oscars.

Join us for this very special episode as Steevo and Scott try to balance Ian’s shame with Chris’ insufferable monologues.  Cue the music!

Another year, another Oscars discussion with returning friend of the show, Morgan Goldin. We go in depth about the nominees, what we liked, what bugged us, and what films we thought were snubbed.

Morgan is a filmmaker himself and his work can be found at www.morgangoldin.com.
He also does an annual supercut rundown of his favorite films from the year before. Here is his 2018 video.
