For Deleted Scenes XXVIII, Kat gets the Oscar nominations right (in November), Marc dissects the bro-ness of the "Rocky" franchise, and Vanya talks Cronenberg.

Marc thought we’d get a simple, sleepy Tuesday morning. He was wrong! Kat & Marc discuss 2024 Oscar nominations: what they got right and what they got wrong. Also, the gang reviews 1978’s “An Unmarried Woman” and “Girlfriends” (spoiler free). (Yes, we know you probably haven’t seen these movies. But they both are great. Go buy them or rent them from your local library!)

For Deleted Scenes XXVII, Kat, Marc, Greg & Kelen discuss actor’s careers after “Sunset Boulevard”, Tom Cruise on Broadway, an early mixed bag for 2023 movies, and how Kat was introduced to Wes Anderson films.

To kick off the 2024 awards season, Marc & Jamila (of the Read It & Peep podcast) discuss the winners and losers of the 81st Golden Globes. Also, they question if “The Color Purple” 2023 musical surpasses the 1985 feature film.

For the 150th episode, Marc & Kelen discuss cultural staples “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Dreamgirls”. They dive into iconic performances from Meryl Streep and Eddie Murphy, debate who was right between Andy & Nate, and Marc coming to terms with Jennifer Hudson (a little bit).

The only Christmas film we’re covering this season involves a rough and rugged New York cop getting justice his way. And, no, we are not covering “Die Hard” again.

For the second part of our recording, Marc & Vanya discuss “The French Connection”, Gene Hackman’s incredible career, and Jimmy McNulty.

Last, but not least, rest in peace, Andre Braugher. 

This episode was originally recorded December 4, 2023.

In the first of a two-part episode, Marc is joined by our friend from the North again Vanya Garraway to discuss “In the Heat of the Night.” The gang talks the Oscars in the wake of MLK’s assassination, copaganda, question if things have really changed.

What happens when *the* symbol for masculinity, strength and determination is actually the sweetest bean? Is it possible we’ve finally discovered the perfect movie? Kat & Marc discuss 1976’s “Rocky” and “Network”. Also, they discuss a monster Oscars year, impeccable fashion, and Sylvester Stallone’s best performances.

Is 2023 the year fun died at the movies? Does anyone hate men the way that Martin Scorsese hates men? Can ableism obscure great performances? Kat & Marc answer these questions and much more by way of 1986’s “The Color of Money” and “Children of a Lesser God”.

Everything is content, bbyyyy. For Deleted Scenes XXVI, Kat, Marc & Seth talk racial tropes in films, the two saddest things about “Oppenheimer”, bad closed captions in film and TV, and (very soft) thoughts on "Saltburn” and “The Holdovers” (spoiler free).
