We did it! We watched all of these pretty uneven movies, and now we get to watch what was quite possibly one of the most bizarre ceremonies ever, not because of any shenanigans like streakers or political statements, but just because ABC made some incredibly odd choices in their first year broadcasting the Oscars. But while we raise eyebrows at the ceremony, we’ll also talk about the winners, the losers, and if we think a certain movie about mental institutions deserved all of the awards it was given, or if a big ugly shark should have taken the gold. We close out Oscars ‘75 this week on Macintosh & Maud!

PLUS: Reviews of the new films The Father, Another Round, Pieces of a Woman, Hillbilly Elegy, The United States vs. Billie Holiday, and The White Tiger.
