0:40

Richard. Brian. Boys, how we

0:42

do know night sorry listener by the

0:45

way, This episode little late this

0:47

week because we're dealing. With.

0:49

Some flu Ryan got the forever

0:51

the Sickest Brian: how are you

0:53

Grew to the woods? Personable, And

0:57

Never get the flu. I never get my

0:59

flu shot because why would I do that

1:01

if I never get the flu? and I

1:03

think maybe this years change my mind on

1:05

that. Yeah, thugs, not a fan, Not a

1:07

big fan of the flu. Person's.

1:09

Not really controversy or but. Now.

1:12

Great! So they serve bear with me. Were

1:14

courting couple days late in the appreciate. Prejudge.

1:17

You boys being flexible on it and

1:19

I'll try my hardest not to. Hacker.

1:21

Belong on the air like a did in

1:24

the fall, but that's my effort for tonight.

1:26

And when trying to give you guys. Well

1:29

as you guys know, I. Call

1:31

you. As. Soon as the sun

1:34

breaks over the horizon they know whether

1:36

you lose the awards rate. So.

1:38

I call you and I think

1:40

it was three forty four am

1:43

this year, right? right? Yeah, when

1:45

they had to get this out

1:47

there and and. Lotta.

1:49

Headlines I can. Hear.

1:53

The. Great again riding already him running

1:55

this might get bad by the time

1:57

the actual ceremony gets here. Him: Greta

2:00

Gang is living. We'll discuss that. What we're

2:02

going to do here, go

2:04

over the nominees. We're each going to say

2:08

who we think is going to win and

2:10

then who we want to win. Okay,

2:13

very simple. So let's go through this.

2:16

Let's start with

2:19

cinematography. The

2:21

nominees are El

2:25

Conde. Haven't seen

2:27

that. Killers of the Flower Moon,

2:29

my show, Oppenheimer, and Poor

2:31

Things. Brian, any snubs

2:33

here and who do you want to win? I'm

2:36

sure there are some snubs. No

2:38

idea. I

2:41

don't know what El Conde is. I know

2:44

that probably shows me to be a

2:46

fake film snob. It's Spanish

2:49

for the Conde. Okay, cool.

2:51

Thanks. That helps. It

2:55

does feel like a week here for cinematography. This

2:57

is not a great. I didn't feel like there's

2:59

a lot of great cinematography in this list. So

3:01

for me, this is Oppenheimer in

3:03

a pretty big way. Richard?

3:09

I think Oppenheimer will win. I

3:11

think the second half of Maestro

3:13

should win. But unfortunately,

3:15

the first half of Maestro exists

3:18

where they black and white it

3:21

for no good reason at all and kill

3:23

a lot. I mean it's still cinematic, but

3:25

like the second of Maestro really pops, there's

3:27

some great shots in that movie. I

3:29

think if the whole movie was that, it could have

3:32

a real case. But Oppenheimer. I

3:35

don't know what my grade for Maestro is, but I feel like it's going

3:37

to be a D- by the

3:39

end of Oscar season. Oh,

3:41

over this movie already? Anyway,

3:43

sorry. It took you

3:45

six years to come up with that. Yeah. The

3:49

Discord I have seen is not a fan of

3:52

Maestro, and it's pretty

3:54

fun to witness that. But

3:56

I agree, Richard. I think the kind

3:58

of Paul Thomas Anderson. any looking stuff

4:00

in my show was great, maybe if

4:02

they did more of that. It

4:05

really pops, like that. I think of that

4:07

scene in his garden or something, when he's

4:09

talking to the journalist, you're like, this is

4:11

shot awesome. This should be the

4:13

movie. Why is there not

4:15

two hours of this? And

4:19

I think who's gonna

4:21

win is probably Oppenheimer, but

4:23

I would probably say poor

4:25

things has a chance, just given

4:27

Dorgos' unusual

4:30

style. Sometimes

4:33

the Academy appreciates that, and Killers probably

4:35

has a chance too. Watch

4:39

El Conde win. Cool,

4:42

I hope it does. I hope it's all right.

4:44

All right. All right, yeah. Sign on, see. Best

4:47

original song. It never went

4:50

away from American Symphony. I'm

4:52

Just Ken from Barbie. What

4:54

was I made for? From Barbie.

4:58

This is not a joke. The Fire Inside

5:01

from Flamin' Hot, from

5:04

Diane Warren. Not

5:06

a joke. We should write a movie about

5:08

sour cream and onion. Doesn't

5:13

matter if it's fictional or not.

5:15

No, we'll just make up that the underrepresented,

5:20

underrepresented Russians came up with sour cream

5:23

and onion. It was a janitor. Original

5:27

track this from OK

5:29

Go from The Beanie Bubble, and

5:35

I made that one up. That's a

5:37

song. Wah-hazy,

5:42

song from My People, from

5:44

Killers of the Flower Moon. It's gotta

5:46

be between the two Barbie ones, but

5:48

you know, never count out Flamin' Hot, that's what

5:51

I always say. Never

5:53

count out what Diane Warren. Which

5:55

one of those two you think it'll be? I'm

5:58

Just Ken, one at The Globe. Or

6:00

the critics choice, I can't remember. I think

6:02

it was the Globe. Critics choice. Yeah, I

6:04

think maybe both actually. Critics choice. I think

6:06

Billy won the Globe, right? Okay.

6:10

Whichever one it was that it won, it was

6:12

clearly not well received in the room. Even

6:15

Gosling was like, nah, it should have been the other one. I'm

6:18

going to lean towards the

6:21

Billy version. I love, I

6:23

think I'm just can work so well within

6:25

that movie. I re-watched that movie today just

6:28

for funsies. Like

6:30

every Thursday. Yeah, it's a

6:32

Thursday. And

6:34

so that's my tradition and I

6:36

hope you guys will respect it. I

6:39

think that works so well within the movie but the

6:42

Billy song is actually a really great sweet,

6:45

sobering, somber kind of song. And

6:47

I think it's used well

6:49

within the movie. I do feel like that, I've said

6:51

this before, I feel like that should be a requirement.

6:53

I think if your first song would be nominated, it

6:55

actually has to be something that happens in the movie

6:57

not just like over the

6:59

end credits or whatever that kind of drives me crazy.

7:03

But anyway, I'll take Billy here

7:05

for the win. Awesome.

7:08

Yeah, I agree. I think Billy is

7:11

going to win. Did she

7:13

not win for the Bond one or did she? Yeah,

7:16

she did I believe and that's what was

7:18

really the next one. The easiest Oscar to

7:20

win is your second Oscar. A

7:23

hot take I have. Because

7:26

then they start looking at your stuff through

7:28

the lens of Oscar stuff. More nomination than

7:31

winning but yeah, I feel like she'll win. Now

7:34

you're in the club. Yeah, I think

7:36

so too. That was a great song. Alright,

7:39

here we go. Original

7:42

score. Killers. Flower

7:44

Moon. Oppenheimer. Poor Things. Indiana

7:47

Jones and the Dial of Destiny. John

7:50

Williams. Never Fails. This

7:53

is the 99th Academy

7:55

Award nomination. Won

7:58

for every year of his life. Iirc

8:00

and Fiction. Avatar

8:02

Oppenheimer here. I'll be very surprised when

8:04

I think why they loses. It's. John

8:07

Williams to win because in this is last score.

8:10

Now. He's near he said he is I

8:12

might be doing something else. Yeah he is

8:15

willing to do stuff severe if it happens.

8:17

If you see these days he basically you

8:19

up to every good director for it's yeah

8:21

for it. Yeah.

8:26

So. I hadn't gone with Oppenheimer for

8:28

the win, but once. In

8:31

Rugby, roberts and Killers the farm in Give It To Me.

8:34

Nice that we are really cool. Score! Go

8:37

for and richard with what you think. I'm

8:40

going Oppenheimer as the Oppenheimer for me

8:42

as a good big score was awesome

8:44

of that, but I liked that Robbie

8:46

Robertson choice of years pressure. But yeah,

8:49

narrowly I'd either good big will win

8:51

for Oppenheimer that he said when, but

8:53

they're. Bright. Taken.

8:56

Off and I'm and probably I mean just

8:58

as a sentimental Vernon Ali Ali like see

9:01

Jungle and when. I. Didn't I

9:03

think that killers that years ago? Ironically

9:05

there. So he

9:07

tell you to feel sentimental. there's this is

9:09

the safest with her. One of my criticisms

9:12

of killers was of the farmers and I

9:14

didn't think it had enough. Score side and

9:16

I don't really even like this nomination if

9:18

I'm being on said the like needed more.

9:21

It is. We can do that like let's have some

9:23

score. In this day I thought I could use and

9:25

more. Yeah, but that's it. Was a guy. mean I'm

9:28

certified adjust. It. Was weird that he

9:30

just have these in sympathy for the devil.

9:32

I prefer percent of the score in every

9:34

city over and over and says lot of

9:36

money to Vienna for. Twenty. Five

9:38

or that to have an apple hours with. Best. Visual

9:43

effects, The. Sigurd? What?

9:46

The. Creator. And

9:48

nomination. Godzilla minus

9:50

one. Nominated:

9:53

Guardians Three. Mission.

9:55

impossible dead reckoning part wind

9:58

which i've seen it Advertised

10:00

recently as dead reckoning. So

10:02

are they shifting? Yeah,

10:05

they're thought it in We shall

10:07

see it's going to paramount as dead reckoning. So I think

10:09

the new one will have a new title Yeah,

10:13

we all have to get to that in a separate

10:15

news rumors rumblings episode because

10:19

We sent you about Tom

10:21

Cruise changing the score on rogue nation and

10:24

it totally changing the scores of no pun

10:26

intended of the film in testing I

10:28

saw it in that somebody put it in the

10:30

discord and I was like, that's crazy Freaking

10:34

genius we can all make fun of him as

10:36

an actor Rightfully in some scenarios,

10:38

especially in dead reckoning in some parts, but

10:40

he's the best film producer maybe of all

10:42

time Like

10:44

legitimately the best producer ever he's

10:47

up there. I love

10:49

if he directed I just want one

10:51

cruise like I'm shooting the wonder why

10:53

he hasn't yeah, I know right Probably

10:57

because there's more money and just

10:59

producing it would just be cool If he just

11:01

made his like if he was like

11:03

I'm winning an Oscar as a director That's

11:07

what I cool just put it out there Tom Cruise. We'll all

11:09

really like you if you do that We

11:11

shall see but we'll again. We'll talk about that

11:13

on another episode. There's a lot going on with

11:15

Paramount's and Tom Cruise all

11:17

that kind of stuff. It's

11:19

a lot a lot of shake-up in the biz right

11:21

now Exciting times as we head

11:23

into 2024. I think oh I didn't finish Napoleon

11:30

also nominated for visual effects, which we

11:33

just reviewed on the VIP feed last

11:35

week He would like our review of

11:38

that. We all like the visual effects too. So

11:40

cool to see it nominated for

11:42

that Ron Howard's Oversight

11:46

on the Beanie bubble actually nominated

11:48

as well for the work

11:50

they did on that Galifian achas Yep,

11:54

he was great. We got rid of that beard and

11:56

post So

11:59

I'm going with Who

12:01

I want to win. His

12:03

Godzilla my a swine flu I think it's

12:05

gonna win. This

12:08

Is a cellphone because I can't believe

12:10

Oppenheimer's my nominated here photo. Shoot

12:14

at Mission Impossible. Maybe.

12:18

Let's. Go There was go. Mission impossible for

12:20

the win. But. I would godzilla

12:23

to win. Road. Zero.

12:25

Ah, this is a military. This is

12:27

like a wide open Calgary Ounce Hague.

12:31

I'll say Godzilla for the when. And

12:34

that's a good. I mean I loved that movie that's going

12:37

to be top ten of the year for me for sure.

12:40

I. Honestly,

12:42

the creator almost wish that it

12:44

was nominated and production. Design.

12:47

As much as anything. But.

12:49

Since it's not, I. I guess

12:52

I you're gonna love that all. and I I

12:54

love the world creation in that movie so I

12:56

think that's what I would be rooting for. But

12:58

so. Yeah. Of us a Godzilla.

13:02

Is a serious get. I. Want

13:04

gazelle it away. but I think

13:07

mister possible when. Jeff

13:10

Any chance nearly Napoleon wins and army

13:12

as it is I'll him so we

13:14

so Thailand malaysia me guardians of the

13:17

chance to and is a meal. Still

13:19

it does look great in. It's

13:22

the only guy would have been looking good.

13:24

I'll get Moto X Ray Mccallum. he can

13:26

be like a This is our honoring them

13:28

are moving on minutes. Sure I can see

13:30

that I decide to get a just keep

13:32

giving Tucker's movies any oscar they care for.

13:34

Saving the business for catheters, that's that's very

13:36

true. That's why they did. I

13:39

agree. Or a

13:42

screenplay original. The A

13:44

Pass Whites made December maestro.

13:47

The. Holdovers. And anatomy of

13:49

fall. To. I think's gonna

13:51

win. Past.

13:56

Lives. who

13:59

i want to win The Holdovers. Brian?

14:01

Yeah, I think I'm going to go

14:04

with you on that. I think that's probably the right – We're

14:06

all aligned. Yeah, we're right there with you. Okay, perfect. Adapted

14:09

to move on to here. American

14:12

fiction Barbie adapted from a toy brand.

14:17

Stupid. So dumb. By the

14:19

way, I was watching The Simpsons the other day. I

14:22

hadn't seen the episode in a while. I can't believe

14:24

I didn't make this connection. The Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy

14:26

episode, go back and watch that. A

14:30

lot of similarities. Maybe

14:32

it's adapted from that. Oppenheimer.

14:36

Poor Things and the Zone of Interest. It's

14:39

got to be Barbie or Oppenheimer. Peaton

14:42

head-to-head probably. So

14:45

that means the winner

14:47

is going to be Poor Things,

14:49

but I want – Barbie. What

14:52

about you, Brian? I'm rooting for Barbie. I

14:55

also think that this is where they do the –

14:58

Oh, so sorry we didn't nominate you for

15:00

all these other things and give the award. So

15:02

I'll take the odds on Barbie there as the one.

15:05

And forgot to mention, Kristen Gore adapting

15:07

the great Beanie Baby Bubble, Mass Delusion,

15:12

and the Dark Side of Cute by Zach Bissonette. Also,

15:15

I'm not going to say that. I'm

15:18

going to go Who I Want to Win is American Fiction.

15:22

I hope I'm going to see that tomorrow. And

15:25

What I Think Will Win is

15:27

Oppenheimer. That's a good category. That's

15:30

a good category. American Fiction is so good,

15:32

Brian. I can't wait for you to see

15:35

it. Nice. Nice.

15:38

Animated Feature. The

15:40

Boy and the Boy. I'm going to

15:42

go with American Fiction. Nice. Nice.

15:45

Animated Feature. The

15:48

Boy and the Heron. Elemental. Nimona.

15:51

Moana spelled backwards? No. Robot.

15:54

Rock is in it. Yeah.

15:57

Robot Dreams. Don't know what that is. In Speed. Spider-Man

16:00

across the Spider-Verse. Huge

16:02

snub for Ninja Turtles,

16:05

what's going on, folks? We

16:08

had to get that robot dreams. Huge snub

16:10

for Chicken Run. Chicken Run, Dawn of

16:12

the Nugget too. That was one of my

16:15

favorites. Same, you will

16:17

hear about that in my top 10 videos. Yeah,

16:19

maybe, maybe me too. So,

16:21

I'm going with Elemental,

16:26

maybe for the win? Win

16:28

here, maybe? I

16:30

haven't seen Boy in the Heron yet though. But

16:33

I want Spider-Man. So,

16:36

I'll go with Elemental with Spider-Man. I

16:39

think it was, I want Spider-Man, I think Spider-Man will

16:41

win. Yeah,

16:43

same here. Yeah, if anything upsets to me,

16:45

if anything upsets Spider-Man, then it'll be the

16:49

Miyazaki film, the more there,

16:51

the button there. Yeah. All

16:55

right, let's go to Best Director now as

16:59

we move into the big categories for

17:01

this year's ceremony. Big

17:04

snub, of course, Greta. Not

17:06

getting in. That's the biggest snub to me

17:09

than Margot. Yeah. Can we talk

17:11

about that for a sec? Like, not trying to be, I

17:13

mean, I would have been totally cool if Margot was nominated.

17:15

I'm not Hater, but you're like,

17:17

Greta, there's a lot of great performances in

17:19

that. It's shot fun. I

17:23

don't know. I don't think

17:25

the competition was a step either,

17:27

and I'm cool if Jonathan

17:29

Glazer isn't nominated and stuff. I

17:32

don't know. What'd you guys think?

17:34

I take, I'm kind of the opposite

17:36

route. It's to me, Greta

17:39

would have been in my, I mean, no doubt would

17:41

have been in this list for me if

17:43

I'm turning my ballot, but

17:45

I think that there are, I

17:48

think you can make a case for 10 or more directors

17:51

there, and

17:53

that's kind of setting aside that

17:55

I haven't seen. You're not a

17:57

naive guy though. You haven't brought him in. No. That's

18:00

my deal is like when

18:03

we get to the actors, like that

18:06

I mean that nomination is

18:08

the kind of nomination that you get in

18:12

years where there's just not five

18:14

performances that really stand out, you

18:16

know? And that's, I

18:18

don't mean that really even as a knock on

18:21

Annette Bening or whatever else, but like there have

18:23

definitely been years where best actress due

18:25

to the way the Hollywood works, where the best actress field

18:27

is like, boy, can we

18:30

get five decent, good performances in

18:32

good movies, I guess it's like

18:34

almost by default. Hey, there's the

18:37

nomination for a movie no one saw and

18:40

it is what it is. There's,

18:44

I don't see a, I don't

18:47

understand the thought

18:49

process of keeping Margot Robbie

18:53

out of that conversation, out of

18:55

that top five. The

18:57

only thing with Greta, like I said, is just I

19:00

think there were several really good movies this year so

19:02

you can make a case for blah, blah. I'm with

19:04

you Richard, I think that the

19:06

work, I

19:08

think that Greta's work as a director

19:11

is probably better than Margot's performance as

19:13

an actress in that situation. I just

19:15

think that the field dictates

19:17

things a little bit here and

19:20

there. But all that said, saw

19:23

Anatomy of a fall this week and I

19:25

thought it sucked. No, not a huge fan

19:27

of that. No one has seen Zone

19:29

of Interest because they made it impossible for anybody to

19:31

see it. I've seen it. Oh,

19:34

you have? Nice, see there. Because I'm an Amos

19:36

guy. Okay, it's

19:38

good. So I was excited for that one.

19:40

It was a delight, you're gonna love it.

19:43

No, I'm sure, I'm sure. Such a fun

19:45

experience. It's a blast. I

19:47

should say, I didn't think Anatomy of a fall sucked. I thought

19:49

it was like fine. And I

19:51

was kind of like, really, this is the thing

19:54

that we're, okay, all right. But

19:56

then have a- Scorsese, yeah. In Scorsese,

19:58

too, it's like, I don't- I don't have, this

20:00

is what I said in the Discord was, if

20:03

you think that Killer's in the Flower Moon is the best movie

20:05

of the year, that's totally fine. I've come up

20:08

on it a little bit since we

20:10

did our review, to

20:12

the point that I had it on my

20:14

ballot, for like my fake ballot for the

20:17

best picture. I

20:20

think my problem with that is

20:22

that it felt like, it

20:26

felt like that was a lock

20:29

for nomination in all these categories

20:31

in like July. That,

20:35

I don't know, I find that, I don't

20:37

like that. That feels a little problematic to

20:39

me, where it's like, well, Scorsese's

20:42

putting out a movie, so that means there

20:44

are four director slots available. Same

20:47

for when Spielberg puts out a movie, or

20:51

Fincher, whatever, that class of directors,

20:55

like if they have a movie out there, it

20:57

has to be a bad movie in order for them to

21:01

not get secure nomination

21:03

on that. That's the thing that I don't like.

21:06

I would like for it to feel

21:08

like an open slot. There's

21:10

five slots, and we're all competing for

21:12

those spots. Not, you gotta, you're

21:14

gonna have to, you gotta

21:16

hope to hope that Scorsese makes a bad movie

21:18

in order for a slot to open up

21:20

there. I don't like that, I don't like that vibe. This

21:25

year, there was three you had to nominate. You

21:28

had to nominate, Scorsese, you

21:30

had to nominate Chris

21:32

Nolan for Oppenheimer, you had to nominate Damian

21:35

Kulos Jr. for the Beanie bubble, and

21:38

then outside of that. And you knew that coming in,

21:40

you know? Outside of that, it's

21:42

wide open. I'm

21:45

with you on Anatomy of a Fall. It

21:48

feels like, ever since

21:50

Parasite, it's just, if you

21:52

win the palm door, you're

21:55

gonna get nominated for Best Picture, regardless of mass appeal,

21:58

critical. acclaim,

22:00

all of the

22:03

above. Some

22:05

of the most off-putting,

22:07

weird, genuinely don't want

22:09

to watch them again type

22:12

of movies of the past three

22:14

years with Titane, Triangle of Sadness and

22:17

this one. So yeah, it just – they're

22:20

not bad but like it

22:23

feels like it's

22:25

something that the Academy

22:27

has really focused on

22:30

is including those

22:32

types of movies. And it does –

22:35

it reeks of I don't know

22:37

pandering to the film

22:40

bros of the world instead

22:42

of like who

22:45

are we trying to please here I guess is my question. Yeah,

22:49

no totally. I mean and to be

22:51

– from being totally fair like I

22:53

thought that the direction on Poor Things

22:55

was kind of bad too. So Poor

22:57

Things was one of the funniest movies I've

22:59

seen this year and also

23:02

it felt like the third act was a

23:04

complete disaster and that – it

23:07

felt like a movie where despite

23:10

some great performances and some really

23:12

funny dialogue especially, it felt

23:15

like a director couldn't quite get out of his

23:17

own way. So I'm not a big Your Goes

23:19

guy so maybe I'm coming in biased on that

23:21

but wouldn't have been

23:23

on my short list to begin with. So

23:26

it's a – I don't know. There's a lot

23:28

of really good movies this year so it's

23:30

never going to be perfect but this – I

23:32

found the director thing this year to be

23:35

a little bit confounding overall. Yeah,

23:38

I mean the Greta thing. Sure,

23:41

well there will be plenty of talk about

23:43

that. Yeah, Alexander Payne, Hugh Doolittle, with Celine

23:45

Dion, Alexander Payne. I mean it's

23:47

a weird – anyway, I'm Oppenheimer – I

23:49

think Oppenheimer wins and that's what I'm rooting

23:52

for by pretty easily. I

23:54

mean honestly – It's going to be tough but –

23:58

Honestly, I said it in the episode. But

24:00

I would rather have

24:02

seen Bradley Cooper nominated here than for Best

24:05

Actor, but it is what

24:07

it is. And we'll continue to

24:09

talk about that. So let's get

24:11

to supporting actress Devine

24:14

Joy Randolph, The Holdovers, Jodie

24:16

Foster, Niaad. We'll talk about her a little

24:19

bit more later when we talk

24:21

some true detective at the end of the episode, so stay

24:23

tuned for that. But I guess

24:26

I got to see Niaad because

24:28

it has Jodie Foster, but there's no way to know what

24:30

it is. I've been Googling, looking,

24:32

can't figure it out. And if

24:35

there only was a way to know, please email

24:37

me and I'll figure it out.

24:41

Double nomination here for

24:43

this movie, both Sarah Snook and Elizabeth

24:45

Banks for the Beanie Bubble get

24:48

nominations. So

24:51

I'm going with Shiv. America

24:54

Ferrera, Barbie, Emily

24:57

Blunt, Oppenheimer, and Danielle Brooks for the

24:59

color purple. So

25:01

I think – shoot,

25:04

Devine Joy Randolph's going to win. And

25:07

I want her to win because I think she had the best performance of this

25:09

group. Universally around,

25:12

I think. Easy. That

25:14

should be an easy – that's like the – yeah, that's

25:16

an awesome one. That's a

25:18

really – I'm excited for her to win.

25:21

Yeah. I'm bummed Viola Davis wasn't here

25:23

for air, but she was so good in that kind

25:26

of – Yeah. True part

25:28

of that movie. That's a release date. Yeah,

25:31

for sure. That came out six months

25:33

later. Yeah.

25:36

But you can't – you know, you

25:38

can't fight that – the NIAID nation

25:40

is just – you know what I

25:42

mean? So much momentum. Just so much

25:45

momentum. Perfect timing. Yeah. Hard on that

25:47

wave. You can't go to the water cooler without somebody trying

25:49

to talk to you about NIAID. I'm in this new office

25:52

up in Plano and it's just NIAID, NIAID, NIAID. And like

25:54

some guy will come up to me and he's like, hey,

25:56

don't want me to hit you in the NIAID's. And then

25:58

it's like, oh, we laugh. Now

26:00

ad nation what up? Yeah? Yeah, like

26:03

I'm in cool. Yeah Look,

26:05

I love Jodie Fox. I thought she was more

26:07

deserving than than in that

26:09

binning for sure As

26:12

one person who saw probably always is only

26:14

pronounce it. Yeah In

26:19

four eyes voice Very

26:23

competitive Category coming up here best

26:26

supporting actor always always always is

26:28

but this year I mean good

26:30

grief It

26:32

is ridiculous, so Mark Ruffalo for

26:35

poor things Turns

26:37

out he was the poor thing the entire time

26:42

There's kids Ruffalo

26:44

for poor things Gosling for

26:46

Barbie Downey for

26:48

op the Nero Gets

26:51

an arm for killers of our moon and

26:55

Sterling K Brown American

26:58

fiction Very

27:00

competitive who do I think is gonna win

27:02

Robert Downey jr. Who do I want to

27:04

win? The

27:10

guys Hey Yeah,

27:15

I'm rooting for the guys ruffalo would be my

27:17

second choice there despite how great Downey

27:19

is and an op and I'm I think it's

27:21

I think Downey wins But

27:24

guys would be my Be my

27:26

pick and just be fun to see the Academy Award

27:28

a Gosling is a great actor would be

27:30

hey a comedy can win it Oscar. That'd

27:33

be cool I'd like to see that

27:35

but not too bad. Not too bad. I Think

27:38

no Berlin how it in though. Sorry. Sorry Richard.

27:40

Sorry. I know that's all good man true

27:46

Blackberry big shutout. I

27:48

know I wanted to do it. I

27:50

wanted to be nominated but flimmin cool But

27:53

I'm gonna go rdj for an actor

27:56

in a sporty role and I'm gonna go. This is

27:58

a new one. I would have said That's who I

28:00

think will win. I wanted to win was someone

28:03

else, but I'm going to say recent

28:05

things have changed. I wish Sterling K. Brown would

28:07

win for a grand fiction. Nice. Very

28:10

good. Awesome. We'll

28:13

start it for you guys. Let's do that one. Yeah,

28:16

hopefully I get it in before next week's final

28:19

episode. By the way, I need to tease

28:21

the end of the winter movie draft too,

28:23

so stay tuned to

28:26

an upcoming episode to see who

28:28

won the winter movie draft. All

28:30

right, big three categories here. Best

28:33

actress, Annette

28:36

Bening for Nia.

28:39

Nia. Lily

28:41

for killers. Sandra,

28:44

Huler, Anatomy of the Fall,

28:46

Carey Mulligan, Maestro,

28:50

Emma Stone, Poor Things, and

28:53

Margot Robbie for bar – no, that's

28:55

where my mind automatically went there.

28:57

She's not nominated, sadly.

29:03

I think Lily Gladstone has this thing pretty

29:05

much wrapped up. But

29:08

watch out for Emma Stone. Yeah,

29:16

I think Lily wins. That's who I would

29:18

pick as well. Emma's

29:20

the only other one of

29:22

the five that I feel like has

29:25

a real case. Again, not Anatomy of

29:27

the Fall fan. I

29:29

actually did like hearing Mulligan in Maestro quite

29:32

a bit, but not enough to feel like

29:34

she was better than these. And Annette Bening

29:36

was fine. I mean, I don't know.

29:38

I just don't understand. I

29:41

understand how that nomination happens when you've got Margot

29:43

Robbie. Also, when you've got Greta Lee with Past

29:45

Lives. I thought she was fantastic

29:47

in that movie. I mean, you've got to

29:49

hand it to Netflix because

29:51

their movies got nominated. It's like crazy.

29:54

So they must have done something right

29:56

on that standpoint. What's

29:58

funny though is- Is

30:00

they how did they how they end

30:02

up with these nominations for nyad and

30:04

none for may december which was such

30:06

a better movie Yeah, acting wise and

30:08

constant. I mean just all of it

30:10

was better. She's a mother to all

30:12

of us is the problem exactly Yeah

30:15

So and it's odd that may december got

30:17

a freaking like a script nomination, but not

30:19

I don't know. It's just odd I don't

30:21

I don't really get it Even

30:23

I mean, I didn't love for sylla, but even Kaylee

30:26

spaini, I think she was the other spot here much

30:28

more so than some of these other hits This is

30:30

a this was a weird one. It was a weird

30:33

one same. I'm gonna go lily glass.

30:35

So we'll win I think

30:37

I would go with glass. That would be my

30:39

pick to karae mogan was great I apparently I

30:41

don't know if you guys did you know Bradley

30:43

Cooper's in maestro? No, no,

30:45

really. Yeah, I thought it was just about karae mogan

30:48

the whole time. Um But

30:51

apparently there's another whole part that I almost just

30:53

kind of tuned that out. But yeah If

30:56

he wasn't, you know, I think he was just so understated, you

30:58

know Right just the

31:00

chameleon kind of yeah, exactly. She's blinging the

31:02

wallpaper. So you just focus on her. It's

31:05

just she's the maestro, you know Somebody

31:09

went off on him, but she was the

31:11

maestro of his life. Oh, if

31:13

you got the all right Got it.

31:15

All right That's all I

31:20

Changed my grade now. I love how much

31:22

how angry this makes richard This is short circuiting him

31:24

for a month and I love it. This is his

31:26

new the post He's looking

31:28

so forward. Same writer I'm

31:31

just saying war with josh bigger josh. You and I

31:33

are at war. Yeah best

31:36

actor Bradley

31:38

cooper as mentioned Coleman

31:41

domingo rustin

31:46

Uh zack gallifian achis the beanie bubble

31:50

This is such a good I

31:53

mean if you've seen it, you

31:55

know Paul

31:59

giamatti The Holdovers,

32:02

Killian Murphy for OP, and

32:05

Jeffrey Wright, American fiction.

32:08

Should have gotten nominated for Asteroid City

32:10

as well. Big snub, Asteroid City in

32:14

2023. I'm going to go

32:17

Killian for the win, but

32:22

love to see Paul win. What

32:25

about you, Brian? I think

32:27

I'm going to flip that. I think Giamatti wins.

32:30

Oh, man, he's great. Don't get me

32:32

wrong. It was great performance. I will

32:34

be rooting for Killian. I feel like

32:37

this is a great

32:39

actor that has been, not

32:42

that he's been slighted by the Academy or

32:44

anything like that, but it feels like he

32:46

deserves this here. I

32:48

am bummed. I knew it wasn't going to happen.

32:50

We talked about it on the episode a couple

32:52

of weeks ago, but I'm bummed that Zac Efron's

32:54

not here because I just think that, again,

32:57

is the kind of performance that I don't know how

32:59

many more times in his career we're going to see

33:01

a performance that's that good.

33:05

Yeah, and I, again, I'm with you

33:07

guys. Like, the

33:09

directing – Bradley Cooper's

33:11

direction on Maestro is

33:13

so much better than his acting, unfortunately. I

33:16

don't – I would have liked

33:18

to have seen him not get nominated as sort

33:20

of a rebuke to this whole bit

33:23

that we're doing at the moment. I'm

33:26

not going to have done this. This just reinforces

33:28

any other actor that's going to have this itch

33:30

to get $200 million and go

33:33

ham with Netflix. We

33:35

shall see. Go ahead. I think Killian will win

33:38

and – oh, okay.

33:41

Did you guys know Bradley Cooper was in my – I didn't

33:43

know he was in Maestro. I was

33:45

just going to blow my mind. But

33:47

I actually wish Jeffrey Wright would win. Nice.

33:51

Nice, nice. So teasing my favorites

33:53

of the year. He doesn't miss. Jeffrey

33:55

Wright does not miss. He elevates almost

33:58

everything he's done. All

34:02

right, best picture of

34:04

the year starting

34:06

in alphabetical order, American

34:08

fiction, anatomy of a fall,

34:12

Barbie, Beanie Bubble,

34:15

holdovers, Killers of

34:17

the Flower Moon, Maestro,

34:20

Oppenheimer, past lives, poor things,

34:23

and the zone of

34:25

interest. And then Beanie Bubble again. He

34:27

got two mils. Yeah. Yeah,

34:30

it was the German ace. Yeah, the German dubbed. I

34:34

love the idea that

34:36

somewhere... I

34:40

would watch that. That's

34:44

what... That's

34:47

what... That's what... It

34:50

won the Palme d'Or. I mean, it won. It

34:56

just blown away by Galifianakis like, this

34:58

guy, who is he? 37

35:00

minutes standing ovation? What? That's

35:04

Beanie Bubble. That's one of your

35:06

best ones. Good job. All

35:11

right, man. Yeah. Feels

35:13

like a lot of movies nominated again. Dude,

35:17

our ex-classmate James Wilson is nominated for

35:19

zone of interest. Is

35:22

he? I don't know. That's the

35:25

name of the producer. Oh, nice. Could be.

35:28

Man, who do I think is going

35:30

to win? Oppenheimer, who

35:33

do I want to win? What's

35:38

the most chaotic win that could happen?

35:40

Maestro, so give me that. Yeah.

35:44

Let's wheel, let's wheel war in

35:46

Beatty out. Let's go full Naiad.

35:50

We don't bow. They would give us a

35:52

Naiad. They're not even nominated. I'm

35:55

going Oppenheimer and Oppenheimer for me. Of

35:58

these, I mean, there are actually... not to

36:00

spoil one the two movies that I find

36:35

out in July or August when the

36:37

ceremony actually happens. So, yes, so, until

36:40

I fourth weekend, it's gonna be well.

36:42

Oh, sweet. Awesome. Yeah. Yep.

36:46

Man, cannot wait. Before

36:48

we hit week recommends and

36:51

get out of here, we wanted to

36:53

discuss the premiere, the new season

36:56

of True Detective, fellas.

37:00

It's back. Fourth

37:02

season has come starring

37:05

Jodie Foster. It's called Night Country

37:08

this time around. The first season with a

37:11

subtitle kind of thing going

37:13

on. So, where

37:15

are you looking forward to this, Brian? And

37:18

general thoughts slash review of

37:20

the first two episodes? I

37:24

was looking forward to this. True

37:27

Detective season one is, I mean,

37:31

truly, I mean, I think that's one of the

37:33

like all time great seasons of television and with

37:36

such a cultural

37:39

touchstone too at the time. You

37:43

get these two great actors and then hitting

37:45

right at the right time, right as the

37:47

reconnaissance is coming around and all

37:49

that stuff. I wanted

37:52

to go back and rewatch season one before the

37:54

start, but I didn't get time to do it.

37:57

Yeah, that was like a huge achievement, I

37:59

felt like. in TV.

38:02

Second season was just a complete

38:04

disaster. I don't think I ever finished

38:07

that season. I don't think

38:09

that's another completist. Yeah, I

38:11

know. For me to not complete a

38:13

season of TV that I started is pretty rare.

38:16

It was awful awful. The third

38:19

season was just really boring and

38:21

just kind of felt like, okay, what are we doing here? The selling

38:24

point for this was number

38:27

one, it seemed

38:30

like what's his name? Pizzolazzo.

38:36

Maybe I'm saying that wrong was like

38:38

taking it back. Iza Lopez is the

38:40

sort of, I don't know if she's

38:42

co-showrunner or full showrunner in this, but

38:44

I think that it was important to

38:46

have another voice in the

38:48

room. Number two is Jodie

38:50

Foster. I freaking love Jodie Foster. And

38:52

number three, this setting is really cool

38:55

to me. I find this to

38:57

be a really interesting

39:01

and also terrifying kind of

39:03

concept. Setting this in the

39:06

dark of Alaska, the long winter and

39:08

stuff is a really interesting

39:10

spot to be. So yeah, I

39:12

was pumped for this. Two

39:15

episodes in, it's delivering.

39:17

It's everything that I wanted

39:19

it to be. There's a

39:21

ton of references, some subtle

39:25

and some maybe not so subtle to The

39:27

Thing, which I think is the best horror

39:30

movie of all time. And I love

39:33

that too. I think it's cool that they're kind

39:35

of paying homage to

39:38

that movie. But

39:40

more than anything, again, I don't know how you all

39:42

feel about this, but the

39:44

setting for this is so creepy and

39:46

unsettling, but to me also very, very

39:48

interesting. So I'm really into this. I

39:51

think it's been great. Two episodes through.

40:00

review the first two episodes and were you looking

40:02

forward to this at all? Pretty

40:04

much one of the few shows I

40:06

look forward to anymore of these, to

40:09

Brian's point, a lot of that

40:11

is the legacy of the first

40:13

season, which was so excellent and

40:16

despite season two and season three, which is

40:18

a very good kind of

40:20

anthology season of television, does

40:23

not live up to season one, which seemed

40:25

like really kind

40:27

of paradigm shifting and really

40:30

brilliant. That's something

40:32

that could have been a best picture nominee if

40:34

they allowed 14-hour movies or

40:36

whatever. But what I'm

40:39

excited for is Love and Jodie Foster,

40:41

especially Love and Jodie Foster, as we

40:43

talked about as they're investigating things. And

40:47

yeah, it's lived up totally. I'm

40:49

very interested. I'm totally mystified

40:53

in a good way as to where it's

40:55

going and all that. So yeah, I'm excited.

40:59

Yeah, I agree. The setting

41:01

is awesome. I mean, I love a

41:03

– I mean, it's – I

41:05

love an arctic kind of

41:08

thriller. Does that make

41:10

sense? And

41:13

this is perfect. I think Jodie Foster fits

41:15

right in here. I mean, the only difference

41:17

between this and Fargo is the accents. I

41:19

think it really is kind

41:21

of that tone and setting. Where

41:24

is it going? I have no idea. I

41:27

think it's wide open at this point. I

41:29

mean, it could

41:32

go paranormal in

41:34

my opinion. It could go

41:37

super explainable without getting

41:39

into spoilers like this is just

41:41

a murder scenario type

41:43

thing or it could get – it could get real

41:46

weird or it could get not real weird. So

41:49

I like the ambiguity of the first two

41:51

episodes, the way they set it up. I

41:53

don't want to get into spoilers. And

41:56

it's not a spoiler to say. The

41:58

ice rink stuff is awesome. I've

42:00

never seen anything like that before. I wonder if

42:02

that's based on any kind of fact or what

42:05

would actually happen, but that's

42:09

kind of crazy and weird. And

42:11

I like this rival cop scenario

42:14

that they've got going on with Jodi

42:16

and her coworker

42:18

that they seem to have fallen apart over a

42:20

case that didn't work out and now they're trying

42:22

to mend things so

42:24

that they can solve this other case that might be

42:27

related to the case that they didn't solve. There's

42:30

a lot of good storylines going on here,

42:33

but man, Jodi,

42:36

apparently this is the first TV

42:38

stuff she's done since she

42:40

first started acting. So

42:42

it's hard to believe that. Wow, yeah.

42:44

She's never really done any kind of

42:46

TV stuff with it. It's

42:49

just crazy. And

42:54

just wrap up the Emmy right now. She's gonna

42:56

win that. And

42:58

I think this looks incredible.

43:01

I don't know what's going on. The setting

43:03

is so cool and they are

43:05

highlighting the setting beautifully, I

43:08

feel like. The cinematography's great, but

43:10

the color correction on this, whatever

43:13

they're doing there is

43:15

some of the best I've

43:18

seen. The clothes pop, the

43:20

settings, you're right. The

43:23

actual houses, like interiors of the

43:26

houses, it's great.

43:28

I mean, it looks crystal

43:30

clear. I mean, I don't know what they're doing there,

43:32

but hats off to whoever shot

43:34

this. Yeah, it's like the exact opposite of

43:36

the last season of Game of Thrones where

43:39

you just couldn't see anything that's happening on

43:41

screen ever. Yeah,

43:44

that was something that stuck out to me right

43:47

off the bat. Because I had some concern of that. I was

43:49

like, all right, we're gonna be in the dark. Is

43:51

it gonna be that way where I can't see anything? No,

43:54

it's lit beautifully. It looks awesome.

43:56

All the interiors, or the

43:59

comp. that they're investigating

44:01

in is a really cool

44:03

space and kind of

44:05

eerie and well done. Man, it's really

44:08

big. And I like

44:12

how they're just kind of playing with

44:16

the concepts of some paranormal

44:19

activities without it being like

44:23

a full-on sci-fi fantasy kind of thing. This

44:25

could be the thing or it could be

44:27

a true detective again. I think

44:30

there's a – I think it's

44:32

episode two where

44:34

one of the – just on the side

44:36

characters tells the other cop like, hey,

44:38

you've been here your whole life, you

44:40

know that there's stuff out there. You

44:42

know that you see people out there.

44:45

And it just kind of gives like a little

44:47

bit of life of like, is

44:50

this folklore or is it real? It doesn't

44:53

really matter because the people believe that it's real,

44:55

you know, and it's not a – we're not

44:57

playing on that heavily. It's just kind of –

45:00

it gives it some space of like different places to

45:02

go. It reminds me a little bit of Fargo season

45:04

two in that way as well. Yeah,

45:07

I think that's a smart way

45:10

to approach that stuff. Yeah,

45:13

I like the ambiguous timeline. I imagine

45:15

it will connect heavily

45:17

to the other seasons of the detective

45:19

in significant ways along

45:22

the way. I'm like some conspiracy

45:24

or fan theory that the

45:27

dead guy that led her out into the ice

45:31

is Russ Cole's dad, which I

45:34

generally think all that kind of stuff is stupid because we

45:36

– TV viewer or

45:38

movie fans or whatnot, like it's just like

45:40

a thing. It's just to connect the dots

45:42

on everything. I don't necessarily think that that's

45:45

a deal, but it was a fun – like, oh, okay, that's

45:47

kind of interesting. As

45:49

long as Alexandra D'Addario shows up at some

45:51

point, we're good. Yeah,

45:54

I agree, man. The first season

45:57

was great. My

45:59

wife and I were watching the show. watching this new season and she

46:01

was talking about that first season too and just how

46:03

great it was and we were talking about going back

46:05

and watching it because of

46:07

how memorable that experience was. Can you

46:09

believe that this has four seasons and

46:11

Fargo has five and it feels like

46:13

they never make this show and it

46:15

feels like Fargo's just kept going. Isn't

46:18

that weird? It

46:21

is interesting. They're almost the same. Would've

46:24

thought that they would have way more Fargo at this point because

46:27

this show feels like it's constant

46:29

hiatus or they're always figuring out what they

46:31

want to do with it but here we

46:33

are with season four. Yeah,

46:37

it looks like it's gonna be eight episodes

46:39

so we've got six left. It could go

46:41

any direction. I wouldn't be surprised, Brian, if

46:43

it does go paranormal and it goes kind of a

46:48

X-Files direction. Yeah,

46:51

yeah, it could be. It's got a tone

46:53

of, with Jody especially, of Silence

46:56

of the Lambs. Mm-hmm, yeah,

46:59

love that. Gosh, I love Jody Foster. She's

47:01

great in this so far. She is, yeah.

47:03

Speaking of people who can't miss, Jody Foster.

47:07

Rarely, with a miss. Can I add, you

47:10

know, the exception. We'll let that

47:12

48:11

hit a quick weekly. Weekly Recommends.

48:17

Alright, what you got for us this week, Richard? Yeah,

48:22

I've got a new Smile album. Nice.

48:25

I do listen to this, yeah. So,

48:27

that's an easy one for me. One

48:29

of Ken and I's favorite bands that

48:31

we saw live together. Yeah, so I

48:33

will go, I will make that an

48:35

easy Weekly Recommend and

48:38

while it's timely. And

48:41

I will do the new Smile album, which is

48:43

Wall of Ice. Yeah,

48:47

for sure. You know, big

48:50

Radiohead vibes there.

48:53

So, if you like that, you'll like

48:55

this Smile for sure. I'm

48:57

going to recommend a movie that

49:01

I think you guys have probably seen, not sure

49:04

if the listener has, because it's a pretty old

49:06

one. It's directed

49:08

by American treasure, Danny DeVito.

49:10

And it's got

49:13

Billy Crystal. And

49:15

it's a late 80s comedic kind of

49:17

thriller. It's called Throw Mama from the Train.

49:19

Have you guys seen this one? I

49:22

have, long time ago. Long time ago. Been

49:25

a really long time. It's got

49:27

a little Hitchcock influence to

49:29

it. So, I don't know

49:31

if you've seen Strangers on a Train before. But,

49:36

that movie is a big influence

49:38

on this movie. Where,

49:40

you know, the

49:43

big, I guess, plot of Strangers on

49:45

a Train is these people meet on

49:47

a train. They both want

49:49

somebody dead and they decide, let's

49:51

switch murders. I'll kill the person you want dead. You kill

49:54

the person I want dead. And there will be no way

49:56

to trace it. So, they... Figure

50:01

that out in the movie based on the Hitchcock

50:03

movie and they play that scenario

50:05

out with the mother in this. And it's

50:07

got a comedic kind

50:09

of crime thriller tone. But Danny

50:11

DeVito directs it. Really fun. Late

50:14

80s kind of comedy. Rob Reiner pops

50:16

up. Yeah. So

50:19

check that out for some prime DeVito

50:22

crystal action. What you got for

50:24

us this week, Richard? Richard

50:28

was smile. I mean, Brian. No

50:31

worries. Mine, I've

50:34

been binging a ton of movies the last

50:36

couple weeks trying to finish up everything that

50:38

we can before our

50:40

end of year episode. Next week, I

50:42

saw some good ones. I saw a

50:45

few movies that are going to maybe

50:47

even creep into the top 10 or very

50:49

close. I'm

50:52

going to give you looking

50:54

through my list here. Let's go with this one. Let's go the

50:57

Kane mutiny court martial, which

51:01

I believe you'll have to figure out how

51:03

to get Showtime or

51:06

to get Showtime through Amazon Prime

51:08

or something else. That

51:13

and stars. I don't know how anybody ever ever

51:15

finds it. It took me an hour to figure

51:17

out how to see this movie, but it was

51:19

really good. It's really showtime on the plus, right?

51:22

Yeah. Yeah. But

51:24

you have to up to that up

51:26

to your version of

51:29

the Paramount Plus. So you can do

51:31

that. You can try that. That's

51:33

not a William Freakins peacock, right?

51:37

No, I don't think so. Okay. Yeah.

51:41

It's William Freakins last movie before

51:44

he died earlier this year. I guess

51:46

last year, it's Kiefer

51:48

Sutherland. Jason Clark might

51:51

have been deserving

51:53

of Oscar nomination personally. I think it was

51:55

really, really good. It all takes place in

51:58

one room. It's like a bottle episode. or

52:00

like a one scene

52:03

play basically and it's

52:05

all just the it's it's the court

52:07

march trial I love a love a

52:09

courtroom drama love a trial as

52:11

long as it's not a mat anatomy of a fall

52:14

and yeah just really simple

52:16

there's you know six actors

52:18

in the movie basically and it it moves

52:20

really well it's got a great monologue a

52:22

couple times here and there it's I

52:25

really dug it it's not gonna make my top ten but it's it's

52:27

sort of the just probably

52:29

the tier below what that's gonna look like at

52:31

the end of the year but I really I

52:33

really enjoyed it and if you like courtroom dramas

52:35

then this is an easy sell for you I

52:37

would think heck yeah who

52:39

doesn't yeah

52:41

like there should be a

52:44

resurgence of those John

52:46

Grisham yes

52:49

style stuff yeah all

52:52

right it's Richard on that a few

52:54

months ago of what why would we not

52:57

if you're John Grisham why would

52:59

you not create like an amalgam

53:01

character through 10 or

53:04

20 of your books because he has 700 books and

53:07

pitch that as a Netflix series like

53:09

just have him go through instead of

53:11

making a movie for

53:13

the firm a movie for I don't

53:16

know the partner or whatever else you just like

53:18

do that as a Netflix series just have a

53:20

have a character that does all that goes through

53:22

all of these that's like that's an easy

53:25

one I'm gonna send him a letter try to pitch that to

53:27

him so yeah

53:30

for sure sure be on the lookout yeah

53:32

all right well there you

53:35

go there's some Oscar talk for you
