It's part one in a three-part series, in which we discuss all of the films nominated for Best Picture at the stuffy, overly formal 2018 90th Academy Awards to save you from having to bore your own pants off. Pablo takes on the persona of Paula Abdul as Erica goes full Simon Cowell to chat about a great deal of melodramatic period pieces. This episode contains Lady Bird, The Post, and Darkest Hour.
