Join Umnia, your Editor-in-Chief, as she shares her thoughts and makes some oscar predictions for the upcoming academy awards, including why Sinners is primed to sweep the ceremony. Get ready for some top-tier yapping and see if your predictions align with hers for the biggest awards night in movies! Then, we get into the Paramount and Warner Bros Merger – what it is, what it will affect, and how indie film as it currently exists won't save us.
