There Goes That Award

We’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take this anymore!! Join your hosts Benny and Rhiannon to discuss the Oscar winning masterpiece Network, directed by our mate Sidney Lumet. In this episode we discuss the eery relatability of the film’s plot, the tragedy of Howard Beale and the iconic, diabolical breakup scene of Max and Diana. Enjoy our episode and remember, the world is a business Mr. Beale. 

Rhiannon and Benny are back with a new miniseries: Snubbed and Omitted, where we discuss the films we think the Academy unjustly ignored. This week we discuss the masterpiece that is May December and how Benny was in the trenches fighting for this film during the 2024 awards season. We discuss what we loved about this film and the nominations/ wins we thought it deserved. Justice for Charles Melton!

We’re back! Join your hosts Rhiannon and Benny as we both reach for the gun in the first off-season series of the podcast named Anatomy of a Win. In this series we discuss the most interesting Academy Award winning movies/ performances (or maybe just our favourites) - starting from the last movie musical Best Picture winner, the dazzling Chicago. And that's showbiz. kid.

It’s officially the end of the road for the the 2025 awards season and what a journey it has been. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried and we’ve ranted about Emilia Perez. Join Rhiannon and Benny as we give our reactions to this years wins, red carpet moments and musical performances. We also ponder the question: was Conan O’Brien funny or did Rhiannon just drink too many Bellinis? 

It’s the end of the road for our 2025 Oscars deep dives, and we’ve had a wild ride. Join Rhiannon and Benny one last time before the ceremony to discuss the last five Best Picture nominees: A Complete Unknown, The Substance, I’m Still Here, The Brutalist and Nickel Boys. We discuss whether of not we would take the substance, once more debate over the likability of Bob Dylan and gush over the filmmaking of I’m Still Here and Nickel Boys. We’ll see you all on the other side!
