Episode 182: 2023 Oscar Nominees & our top 10 of the Year (part 1)

The Wages of Cinema

Whoa! This past year went by pretty fast, eh? Seems like it went the speed of a Lydia Tar musical concerto - or a Pete Mitchell flight (who's he? Look it up, it's easy to do)- or an Elvis wiggle - or an Evelyn hot-dog finger fight! Or... okay, we didn't go with the obvious of women talking so fast (which they don't really don't do, that's not our problem with that movie, or do we have one...) Point is, we finally come to look at the nominees for Best Picture of the year for the upcoming 95th Academy Awards! This is part 1 where we break down the various nominated actors, writers, producers, and why RRR didn't get a nomination in foreign film (nooootu!) You can also hear Jack and Korey break down WOMEN TALKING and Jack just got back from ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT 2022 (and boy are his arms... okay we can't even make a joke about amputation, can we?) ---Stay tuned for part 2 where we break down our top 10 films of the last year 2022! [e-mail] (this episode contains mild spoilers for some of the films, and there's clips from the trailer of Women Talking, music cues from All Quiet, a clip of Austin Butler's speech from Elvis, and a clip from the Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams live reading of the nominees - plus the public domain Duke Ellington "Jubilee Stomp" musical bumper for our show)
