What's your murder mystery movie watching style? Trying to guess who did it along the way or waiting for the answer to unfold?

Yep, we ate too many snacks last night and watched our faves take home their gold for approximately 47 hours.

Join us as we reminisce on yesterday's event with varying degrees of enthusiasm, cynicism, and nostalgia.

The 98th Academy Awards aka The Oscars (2026)
hosted by Conan O'Brien

Grab yourself a Xanax and a warm blanket, and let Rose Byrne's masterful performance tuck you in for an anxiety-fueled, Safdie produced ride.

Let's talk about bad therapists, the relief of finding a good therapist, and how many times we've collectively fallen through ceilings. And how jarring was it to see Conan O'Brien pop up in a surprisingly cold role?

So you've just lost your job. You can either give away your Golden Retrievers... or sell your possessions. Choose carefully.

What you do next may not quite mirror Man-su's journey throughout this film, but who are we to judge. And it sure was fun to watch. We're still unpacking this one, weeks later.

Midlife crises, classy riverboats, and the struggles of starting an RV battery... This movie has it all!

Join us as we discuss the scrappy nostalgia of making films with friends, the underrated experience of going to a cinema, and the fact that Paul Rudd doesn't age (until now!). We're ready to remake a pretty eclectic collection of films, including a miniseries. So hop in the van - we're going to Prince Edward Island tonight!

Anaconda (2025)
dir. Tom Gormican
writ. Tom Gormican & Kevin Etten
starring Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior, Selton Mello

If you haven't heard about this film, we highly recommend it! Make sure you begin by watching Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" if you haven't seen it before. It's available on HBO Max. And then you can hop over to Netflix for Richard Linklater's "Nouvelle Vague," a biopic-adjacent account of the making of "Breathless."

Join us for our first ever director double dip on this podcast (we covered Linklater's "Blue Moon" back in November). And let us know your favorite Linklater film!

Nouvelle Vague (2025)
dir. Richard Linklater
writ. Holly Gent & Vincent Palmo Jr.
starring Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch, Aubry Dullin

Step up your filmmaking game, folks. If your government hasn't given you a cease and desist, you've got work to do.

Are you team Hamid, team Vahid & Shiva... or team dog from the opening sequence? And let's talk about Alex's pastry truck memory for a second. Ice cream trucks are great and all, but if a truck showed up in our neighborhood with fresh baked croissants? Next level.

It Was Just An Accident is now available to rent or buy via several services, including Apple TV. And shout out to Some Like it Reel for recommending this film!

The fact that none of the kids in this film were nominated for Oscars is criminal.

Get ready for middle school flashbacks, the smell of chlorine magically wafting off your screen, and a score that will make you feel like you're in a horror movie.

The Plague is currently in theaters.
