This year’s Best Picture nominees are a huge investment of time, but it certainly makes watching the Oscar’s that much more fun when you’ve got some skin in the game.  We know most people don’t have the time, energy or even interest to sit down and spend an entire day (and night) watching these acclaimed films.  Let’s be honest, several of these movies weren’t box office hits,  and most people might not even know the premise of some of them, so we took the last two weeks and watched each and every movie to share our cliff notes with all of you.  Full disclosure, there were a couple of films that took us days, as in multiple days, to finish watching because of the heavy subject matter coupled with our heavy eyelids.

In an extraordinary video to Tik Tok, singer and rapper Doja Cat admitted to her 27 million followers that after throwing shade on Timothée Chalamet for his Opera and Ballet comments, that she’s never been to either shows and was just trying to garner clicks and approvals.  It was an incredible display of humility and vulnerability rarely seen today and we hope everyone can take something away from her willingness to admit fault with an open heart and an open mind.

It’s been exactly two weeks since retired Major General William Neal McCasland disappeared from his New Mexico home. His disappearance is gaining national attention because the Air Force base he commanded was once the headquarters for a military program that oversaw U.F.O. investigations.  Authorities believe General McCasland left his home with his wallet, his hiking boots and his gun, notably leaving his cellphone and prescription glasses behind.  Now federal officials and his wife - who addresses the alien theories - are asking for the public’s help in finding him.

After nearly 3 full weeks of testimony, where jurors heard accusations of a poisoned Valentine’s Day sandwich, a fentanyl spiked Moscow mule along with damning internet searches and a heartbroken ex-lover, the defense shocked the courtroom by not calling a single witness.
