As promised, we are back with our raw, unfiltered thoughts on all the 2026 Oscar Nominees! And by we, we of course mean David, because Brandon hasn't seen a single one of these films.

This week, we are joined by special guest Dante, who is here to spread positivity and love through the most Canadian movie we've watched. And for good measure, he also brings an album that makes David have a realization: maybe there's more to Indie music than a 3.5/5.

Music: Swimmer (2020) by Tennis

Film: The Kid Detective (2020), directed by Evan Morgan
