Bros, up as what?
And welcome to the All Bros Podcast.
I am Jonathan and I'm Caleb.
I'm not giving you the satisfaction of bringing that up.
God damn it.
Well, it's worth a shot.
And welcome to the All Bros Podcast where we are a couple of aspiring filmmakers that
love to watch and critique movies, but also enjoy a lot of it of the nerd life.
This week on the podcast, due to some unforeseen events, I don't know why I'm saying it like
that.
It's called a...
No, it was pretty foreseen.
Yeah, that's fair.
So yeah.
Anyway, due to what happens in my life, both of us did not get a chance to...
One of us did not get a chance to watch West Side Story this week, ergo me.
And so...
Yeah, and I realized that I needed more time to think about this movie.
Yeah.
So you know what?
It kind of worked out.
So instead of breaking down West Side Story this week, and since we didn't hear back from
that director yet, we are going with plan Z.
And that is where we'll be talking about the 2022 Oscars.
Yeah, we'll actually be talking about the movies that won, just not...
Not all the stupid ass drama.
Yeah, just movies.
That's all we're talking about.
But before we get to that, we got a movie to talk to you about...
Oh my god.
Caleb, I need to sleep.
We got one movie to talk to you about in 4K spotlight, and then with Through the Wall,
we got some news about a movie that literally Sony just basically gave up on.
So we'll definitely be talking about some news with that.
And then, like I said, we're moving on to our headliner of the evening, which will be
our breakdown of the 2022 Oscars.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, so what do you say we get us started?
Say let's do it.
I forget whose turn it is.
Hello, my name is Brecker Nurse, and I want to tell you about my fun horror movie podcast
called Autopsy for Horror Movie.
On my show, I like to have fun dissecting out what makes a horror movie scary, what
worked for it, what didn't, what types of fears does it play off of?
Is it an allegory for any sort of message?
I don't know, but let's find out.
Also, I like to watch slashers.
I'm a big slasher guy, so I'll watch a slasher and do a kill grade for it.
I will cover the kills and I will tell you how I would grade it based on shock, methods,
style points and a fourth category that is a reflection of the movie.
Besides those, I'll have fun with special topic episodes, commentary tracks, interviews
with guests, including some shuttered directors.
So I just like to have a fun time over here.
If any of this sounds interesting to you or you want to come check me out, please head
over to Spotify, Apple Podcasts or anywhere they listen to podcasts and search for Autopsy
for Horror Movie.
Also be sure to find me on Instagram at Brucker Horror where you get fun updates and some
cool little posts that I do.
Thanks for listening and I hope that you get to enjoy the show and I'll see you on Instagram.
Bye.
All right, so starting off with 4k spotlight, we got a new horror film coming out and even
though it's called Scream, we're going to call it Scream 5 because that's really what
it is.
I'm sorry to break it to you.
You couldn't just do Scream 5, like come on.
Yeah, like was it really that hard?
Because it's not like, okay, because Halloween made sense because it literally just ignored
all the other sequels except for the original.
It takes place 40 years later, whereas with Scream, Scream 5, all of the other sequels
happened.
It doesn't replace any of the other sequels, it doesn't wipe them away.
No, all the other sequels happened.
So why not just call it Scream 5?
Yeah, I'm freaking dumb.
I don't get it.
But anyway, so this will be coming to 4k and Blu-ray this week.
You can either get it.
Well, Paramount is like getting, not lazy, but they're like really cheaping out now with
their physical releases because with the 4k, now all you get is the 4k disc plus the digital
code and then with the Blu-ray, all you get is just the Blu-ray plus the digital code.
You don't get a Blu-ray plus DVD plus digital copy anymore and you don't get a 4k plus Blu-ray
plus digital copy anymore like most studios do.
So Paramount, what the hell?
Freaking hell.
I mean, I pre-ordered the Steelbook, which you know, shocker there.
I don't think it's exclusive to Best Buy, but that's where I pre-ordered it.
I think you can get it honestly anywhere.
Yeah, so it's not exclusive anywhere.
But you know what?
I just realized it's the same situation.
It's just 4k plus digital copy.
Oops.
Well, it looks like I might just have to buy the Blu-ray on its own also.
Well, wait, no, I got it on Paramount Plus.
I can always watch it there.
But yeah, see, I hate that they do that.
I think it's kind of dumb.
But yeah, so there's that.
And then apparently I just found this out that there's also a Walmart exclusive that
comes with an exclusive poster.
Whoop-de-doo.
But I mean, it is a cool poster.
It's like a close-up of Ghostface holding a bloody knife with the moon in the background
of him, and it says, it's always someone you know.
Don't see it alone.
And that has the rated R for yadda yadda yadda yadda.
So not gonna lie, kind of cool poster.
Will I buy that version?
Probably not, because I don't think I really need to own this movie twice.
Nothing against Scream, because this was a great sequel.
It's just, usually I only like to get different versions if it's like different covers or
any stuff like that.
That's usually how it goes.
Just watch.
Next week I'll be reporting that I did actually get it.
Let's face it.
That's usually how it goes.
The joys of being a collector.
Don't get into it, guys.
If you collect physical media, get the hell out of it right now, because it's just not
worth it.
I love how you're just kind of giving up.
Just go digital.
You get everything early anyway.
Frickin' Spider-Man No Way Home's already out on digital, and we, us physical media
collectors have to wait till, what is it, I think like April 16th?
April 12th.
Dude, that's such bullshit.
Just release it at the same time.
Yeah, but man, they need that money.
They're just like, hey, D-Wall, I'm gonna wait to get the digital.
Yeah, but think about it.
The people who are gonna purchase it on a hard copy of it, they're gonna buy a hard
copy of it no matter what.
I have seen many people actually, they'll buy the digital first just because they really
want to watch it again, and then they'll also buy the physical version when it comes out.
Yeah, exactly.
Why wouldn't they do it at the same time?
Well, because, I mean, that way, because most versions come with a digital copy, so it would
kind of defeat the purpose of them buying it digitally online.
Okay, I'll give you that.
So they're just like, we gotta milk every last cent we can out of Spider-Man No Way
Home, especially.
Okay, I'll give you that.
I'll definitely give you that.
Because we all know how Morbius is going to do, so, you know, Sony's still banking on
Spider-Man No Way Home.
They gotta keep it going, man.
They gotta keep it going.
Yeah.
I mean, hell, and people were giving Black Widow a time about not being worth the wait.
I mean, I'm going in-
I don't like Black Widow.
I know, I really liked it too, but everyone, like, that's like the running joke about it.
It's just like, like, they were talking about, like, the movie, or they were putting, like,
different titles and, like, the logo style, and they're like, the not worth it in the
Black Widow style, the, eh, it was okay in the Eternal style.
Oh, wow.
Best MCU movie to date was Shang-Chi, and then best Spider-Man movie to date was No
Way Home.
Okay, well, best MCU movie to date, my ass.
Dude, Shang-Chi was pretty good.
But, okay, to date, like, it's the best one ever?
That's what they were saying.
Or, maybe it was, like, best of phase four or something.
I was going to say, did everyone forget about Avengers Endgame?
And no, like-
Or Avengers Infinity War?
I'd have to look at the picture again, so it might have been, like, to date or just
been, like, best of phase four.
Okay.
Which, if it's best of phase four, I will definitely agree to that.
See, a lot of people are going to hate me because, like, phase four so far, Shang-Chi
is, like, my least favorite.
I'm sorry.
I mean, it's not for everyone.
Yeah.
But, like, what's your top phase four so far?
Is it just the three?
Oh, wait, no.
Well, Spider-Man technically counts.
Okay, so it does count?
Okay, so, okay, Spider-Man Far From Home counts.
It's Far From Home, then Eternals, then Black Widow, and then Shang-Chi.
Okay.
Geez, this one's hard, just because with No Way Home, this does feel like it could be,
like, a- it felt like a finale to Spider-Man in a way.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Or, in, like, in a certain way, it felt like a Spider-Man finale, which I'm not for.
Like, I want more Spider-Man.
In ways of stuff that gave me more things to look forward to, I'd- I'm bare- it's so
close, like, it honestly coin-flipped, but, like, today I'm- I'm- I'm on with- I am thanking
its Eternals, because I think Eternals opened up so many freaking doors.
That's fair.
I mean, they opened up just the Celestials, or just, like, the World of the Eternals in
general, because I feel like they could just introduce so many different Eternals.
Oh, absolutely, yeah, absolutely.
They opened up the Black Knight box for us, the Blade box.
I feel like they opened up another one.
Those are, like, the big two, and supposedly we're going to be able to see Blade and Black
Knight in Moon Knight, eventually, later in, so I think that'll be freaking dope.
Hell, yeah.
We'll see, but, yeah, I think Eternals just opened up so many doors.
With- and with Shang-Chi, like, yes, it was, like, an amazing film, but as for doors that
they opened, they really just kind of left us hanging with, like, oh, we need to figure
out who created these rings, and then left us hanging.
Didn't his sister take over from his dad?
Oh, that's true.
I did kind of forget about that.
I did too, up until-
We started talking about it.
But now I'm just kind of like, do I really care all that much about the Ten Rings?
You know, fair enough.
Fair enough.
I hope, eventually, I'll get to the point where I care about them, but as of right now,
I don't.
Oh, shit.
Well, so, yeah, that's literally it for 4K Spotlight.
Yeah, if you guys want to pick up Scream, it comes out tomorrow.
Comes out tomorrow-
I love how you just didn't, like, talk about it.
Yeah, I know, right?
Talking about horror movies to frickin' the MCU, that's a huge jump for us.
Okay, so it's releasing on April 5th.
That is when Scream releases.
Moving on, unless you- do you have anything else you want to add about Scream, Caleb?
Nope.
Okay.
Ooh, I got something to add, though, really quickly with 4K Spotlight.
So you know, Sing 2 came out, technically, to you guys, it'd be last week, but to us,
it's still this week.
Yeah.
So, I went to Target because I was just going to get the Target exclusive that comes with
the collectible cards, and then I was just going to get the 4K later on, when it's, you
know, a little bit cheaper.
So I get the last one that's there, and I take it home, and I don't know who frickin'
packaged it, but literally, they had stuffed the box so badly into where the Blu-ray sits
that literally, as I was, like, it would not come out of the box, and then when I finally
did get it to come out, literally, the back of the Blu-ray case was, like, the plastic
that holds in, like, the cover art was basically ripped up.
And, yeah, it was bad.
Dude.
Thankfully, Target being as cool as they are, let me exchange it, and even though they didn't
have any more of the exclusive, the guy said, hey, you know, since it's just the regular
Blu-ray, DVD, digital copy, if you just want to go grab one of those, you can just exchange
it like that.
And he let me keep the cards.
So...
Noise.
Yeah.
So, but yeah, that was my fun 4K, well, technically just Blu-ray adventure this week.
Yeah, that was a lot of fun.
But, you know, hey, it worked all out, and, you know, I can watch Sing 2.
So noise.
Everything works out.
Alright, so moving on to, sorry, Through the Wall.
Morbius.
The movie that, I don't know how this movie is going to do with the box office, but with
how Sony has literally just given up on this movie, I don't think good.
Because the director, and I don't even know what the hell his name is.
Do you know the director's name, Caleb?
Not off the top of my head.
But I was online during his Twitter Q&A.
Oh, but that was fun.
It was extremely fun, dude.
Daniel Espinosa.
That's his name.
Yeah, he just completely, I don't know what happened, dude.
Like, he either just like lost his mind, or just like no shits given or something.
But he was on one that day.
That's what I've heard, because yeah, literally he spoiled the whole damn movie, including
the post-credit scenes, which are already leaked on YouTube.
Well, I saw the leak on TikTok.
But yeah, as far as I know, they're also on YouTube, and the movie doesn't even come out
until for us two more days, or day and a half, whatever.
So yeah, I don't know what to think about this movie anymore, because literally, it's
sitting at, last I checked, it's sitting at a 22% right now on Rotten Tomatoes.
Not a lot of reviews have come in yet.
It's I think 11 reviews so far.
So it just seems that Sony is literally just abandoning Morbius and whatever it makes, it
makes, and they're just gonna give up on this character, and just gonna keep rolling along
with Spider-Man.
Yeah, it's been real fun.
I don't know how to feel about this, but I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be super hyped.
I'm going to try my hardest to go into Morbius and just set aside my, what I've heard about
this movie, and any thoughts and feelings that I've had prior, and I'm going to try
and go in with as clean of a slate as I possibly can.
I'm gonna try to do the same thing too.
We'll see if that actually works.
Yeah, fingers crossed.
I hope I don't fall asleep.
Because apparently I do that a lot now.
Yeah, being an adult freaking sneaks up on you, dude.
But anyway, so will we, I mean, spoiler alert for this episode.
That's what we're gonna be breaking down next week.
So we'll bring back the report and see if it's nearly as bad as we're made to believe
that it is.
Yeah, I don't know what I was gonna say.
Dude, 60 hour weeks, we'll do this to you.
Yeah, they'll fricking whoop your ass, bro.
Are you doing okay though?
I'm doing alright.
Okay.
We'll talk after.
But that, I don't really know what else to say about Morpheus.
Until next week, I guess.
Yeah.
As for right now, just fingers crossed it's better than we're being made to believe it
is.
I don't have high hopes.
But let's move on to our headliner of the evening, shall we?
I say let's do it.
Alright so, with this week's, oh my god I almost said main event.
Oh my god.
This is like the worst I've ever.
Dude, we've been doing this for like a year.
This is like my worst episode ever and I am so sorry.
Headliner, headliner of the evening, us talking about the winners for the 2022 Academy Awards
or Oscars, whatever the hell you want to call it.
It can go both ways.
What do you usually call it, Oscars or Academy Awards?
I usually say Oscars.
I feel it's so confusing saying Academy Awards versus Oscars because it makes me feel like
they're two separate events.
I mean, isn't it the thing that they get is called an Oscar but it's the actual event
is called the Academy Awards?
Isn't that how it goes?
Yeah, but then everyone just started calling it the Oscars so I don't give a shit.
It's some stupid bullshit award system and we're going to figure that out like real soon.
So starting off, so I'm just going to read how they have it in order of on the actual
Oscars website.
So I believe best picture is at the bottom so we'll finish with that.
But the first award, and this was the one that caused the most controversy, actor in
a leading role.
You ready for this, Caleb?
I have the results up.
I know who it was.
Oh, you did?
Oh, damn it.
I wanted it to be a surprise, you bitch.
Well I wanted to see who the nominees were too so that's why I had it pulled up.
So the nominees were Will Smith in King Richard, Javier Bardem in Being the Ricardos, Benedict
Cumberbatch, The Power of the Dog, Andrew Garfield, Tick Tick Boom, and Denzel Washington,
The Tragedy of Macbeth.
And the winner is Will Smith.
I'm pretty sure we would just be beating a dead horse if we brought up why that was such
a big deal.
If you don't know, you live under a frickin' rock.
Yeah.
So I mean, whatever.
I personally did not see King Richard.
I didn't but I really wanted to and I feel if none of this would have happened, I feel
that I'm sure a lot of people would be saying that he deserved it because Will Smith is
a very, very good actor.
Like, oh my god, he's amazing.
But just what he did, the whole situation, that really just screwed up this award.
And yeah.
I almost turned it on after, like I consider turning it on after watching West Side Story.
But as I started lingering over it, I was just like, it just kind of feels dirty.
That's right.
Dude, so my first thing that I saw was, nevermind.
That's another award.
But after that, the whole thing with Will Smith started to pop up in my news feed.
I'm like, wait, what the hell?
So I look up the video and then of course, like in the US version, it's all bleeped.
Like it's complete silent because they're cursing.
And so someone had posted the non-censored version because they premiered it in another
country.
And all of a sudden, I just hear Will Smith shout, keep my wife's name out your fucking
mouth.
I'm like, what the fuck just happened?
Yeah.
Freaking, so dumb.
Like we said, I don't want to get into it.
But I think it's just total horse shit.
The whole situation is just bad.
And like I said, for me, it just tainted that movie.
I don't want to watch it now.
Yeah, that's absolutely fair.
Yeah, honestly, I don't think I want to either.
I think another part of it is just like I've seen so much of Will Smith the past couple
days.
Like, just like I'm sick of it.
That's right.
You're kind of tired of his face?
Yeah, a little bit.
Tired of the fresh Prince of Bel Air?
Yeah, I think this is like scrolling through all the nominees, I'm starting to realize
just how many movies I haven't watched.
Dude, same.
I've been meaning to watch Being the Ricardos and Tic Tic Boom.
Like they're on my list of things to watch.
I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Tic Tic Boom is on Netflix, right?
Yes.
Okay.
And I wanted to see that just because I freaking love Andrew Garfield.
Oh yeah, incredible actor.
Alright, next up is actor in a supporting role.
And the nominees were Troy Kotzer for Coda.
I'm going to butcher this.
Ciaran Hens for Belfast, Jesse Plemons for The Power of the Dog, J.K.
Simmons for Being the Ricardos, and Cody McPhee for The Power of the Dog.
And the winner was Troy Kotzer for Coda.
And as far as I know, isn't he, I believe he is deaf, isn't he?
Yes, he is.
So it was kind of a big deal for him to win.
Yeah, and I think that is so awesome.
And I mean, I haven't seen Coda.
It's an Apple TV exclusive, so I don't have Apple TV.
Dude, freaking Apple TV can freaking shove it up their ass.
So I'm just waiting for it to come out on Blu-ray.
I'm sure it's going to.
So I'll definitely check it out when that happens.
But yeah, I think that's awesome.
I haven't seen any of these movies.
I feel so bad.
Yeah, it was the same ones.
I was so horrible.
The only different one was like Belfast and Coda, which, like we said, have not seen.
But I really want to see Coda.
Yeah, I really want to see Belfast.
I actually, you know, I think I'm going to blind buy that because it's on sale this week.
So I'll send you the code.
Okay.
Is that one a horror movie?
No, it's about, I think it takes place in like the 1920s.
It's about like a family that has to like leave their home and like everything that
they've known and they don't know where to like start over.
Okay.
Sounds interesting.
There's a horror movie that came out recently and like I'm confusing it with that.
I just don't remember the name of it.
But anyway.
So congratulations to Mr. Troy.
Next up, actress in a leading role.
The nominees were Jessica Chastain for The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Olivia Colman for The Lost
Daughter, Penelope Cruz for Parallel Mothers, Nicole Kidman for Being the Ricardos, and
Kristen Stewart for Spencer.
I never thought I'd see Kristen Stewart being nominated for an Oscar, but here we are today.
Dude, okay.
This has me so intrigued because there's not a single thing that Kristen Stewart's been
in where I'm like, wow, that was amazing acting.
That's fair.
And I've seen quite a bit of her stuff.
It's just like she's so dry and everything.
So this has me wanting to go see Spencer so bad.
I'm like, I got to see what the hell this was about.
Maybe the character was written to be dry, so that's why she's so good.
That's so, that's effed up to say.
It's probably, it might be true, but.
I mean she was the brightest spot of the reboot of Charlie's Angels.
Like she was the best part.
Dude, that's not setting a high bar.
Yeah, good point.
It's like, hey, everybody in this movie failed, but you kind of failed less.
So good job.
We're proud of you.
Goddamn.
So that's definitely one I want to check out.
Not really the biggest Jessica Chastain fan.
And then like I said, I really want to see being the Ricardos.
Like I almost turned that off today too.
So what is that on?
I think it's on Amazon.
Oh, hell yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
That one looks so freaking good.
Yeah.
That's, that's well, since you know, Jesse, since Caleb doesn't like Jessica Chastain
or doesn't, you know, not the biggest fan, I guess to his dismay, she did win.
Yeah.
Well, it's not that I don't like her as a person.
It's just, I'm not the biggest fan of her.
Like there's some people I definitely feel that way, but, but no, like she seems like
a really nice person.
Like she's good in everything.
She's just not my favorite.
Oh, that's fair.
Um, wasn't she in Zero Dark 30?
I don't know.
I did not see Zero Dark 30.
Dude, watch it.
It's so freaking good.
Is it a military movie?
Yeah.
It's about the assassination of Osama bin Laden.
Yeah.
I'm so uninterested in military movies now.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
But you get to see them blow his head off.
Well, not off, but you know what I mean.
I feel it's worth it for that alone.
Yeah.
Well, well probably not still like, like I said, I, after being in the military, military
movies just don't do it for me.
Like they used to.
Oh, that's fair.
I get like, I used to be super into them, like loved everything.
And now it's like dragging or pulling teeth with me whenever Braille wants to see one.
Did you feel that way with 1917?
That's that one's weird for me.
Okay.
You gotta explain that though.
You hit, you hit it like right on the head with like an exception.
It's hard for me to consider that like a military, like modern military.
Modern military movies I'm not a big fan of, but ones like 1917 or ones based in like any
of the world wars.
Like I'm.
Saving Private Ryan?
Yeah.
I actually really liked Saving Private Ryan, but I saw that one before I joined the military.
So I still have not seen that movie.
Yeah.
Anything like modern military I'm not all about.
But I love historical military movies like 1917.
Okay.
Cool.
Next up, actress in a supporting role.
The nominees were Ariana DeBose for West Side Story.
You know you always say the winner first.
Yeah, I should probably start going mixing this up.
Sorry.
I was just noticing that while you were going through, I'm just like, you keep saying the
winner first.
Shut up.
No, it's fine.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know if we need to go through like, like we should go through everyone, but it
doesn't need to be like how they do it.
Oh, okay.
I don't know.
That's just me.
I just think we could say, all right, winner of whatever.
This is your show.
Handle it.
No, this is our show, Caleb.
My show is the Gacy Gazette.
This is our show.
True.
Anyway, continue.
Start being a team player, damn it.
So actress in a supporting role.
The nominees were Jessie Buckley for The Lost Daughter, Judy Dench for Belfast.
I had no idea.
Gia.
I had no idea that Judy Dench was in Belfast.
Kristen, Kristen Dunst for The Power of the Dog.
God, I haven't seen her name in forever.
Anjaneu Ellis for King Richard and Ariana DeBose for West Side Story.
And the winner was Ariana DeBose for West Side Story.
I really didn't make it that much better because I said her name last.
Oh my God, Jonathan.
Whatever.
Just like, whatever.
Just run with it.
Yeah.
So, at least I haven't seen West Side Story yet.
But Ariana DeBose is an incredible actress.
She was amazing.
The only other movie I've seen her in is The Prom and everyone knows how much I freaking
love that movie.
It's one of my favorite movies of all time, honestly.
And she is amazing as Alissa.
And oh my God.
Yeah.
So I am very happy that she won.
Yeah.
Like I said, I haven't seen the others, but I did just watch West Side Story.
She did a really good job.
Like really well done.
Like she was one of the more powerful performances from West Side Story.
Oh yeah, cool.
Kind of a slow burn though.
Yeah.
And we'll get into this when we eventually break this movie down.
A bit of a slow burn.
I wasn't super impressed with her at the beginning, but as we got more and more into the story,
she really started showing her acting ability in such a positive way.
It was great to watch.
Hell yeah.
Awesome.
So yeah, big round of applause for her.
She was awesome.
I really want to see Belfast now, now that I know that Judi Dench is in it.
Definitely going to be checking that out soon.
Next up, I actually really want your opinion with this one because I wonder if you agree
with the winner.
Because I agree with the winner.
But next up is animated feature film.
And the nominees were Flea from Jonas Poe Rasmussen, Monica Hellstrom, Syne Bagri Sorensen
and Charlotte De La Gornary.
No, I butchered those.
Luca Enrico Casarosa and Andrea Warren, Encanto, Jared Bush, Byron Howard, Yvette Moreno and
Clark Spencer, The Mitchells vs. The Machines, Mike Rionda, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller
and Kurt Albrecht, and Ryan the Last Dragon, Dawn Hall, Carlos Lopez-Astrada, Osnet Shurer
and Peter Del Vecco.
And the winner was Encanto.
Is anyone surprised?
Probably not.
Not even a little bit.
Am I super happy?
I absolutely am.
I mean, I don't...
It's hard to be upset.
Like, if any of these would have won, I probably would have been fine.
Okay.
I mean, I've never...
I've never seen Flea.
So from what I understand about Flea...
Oh, shit.
I don't want to talk out of my ass with this one, so let's see.
Okay, this is kind of cool.
So it's Flea's story of Amin Nawabi as he grapples with a painful secret he has kept
hidden for 20 years, one that threatens to derail the life he has built for himself and
his soon-to-be husband.
Recounted mostly through animation, he tells the story of his extraordinary journey as
a child refugee from Afghanistan.
It does, and I definitely want to check it out.
It has very interesting animation.
I gotta look this up right now.
It almost feels like it could be from a book, which I'm sure this is based off a book somehow.
It looks like it's on Hulu right now.
So Amazon.
Or at least that's where it's telling me where I can watch it.
Yeah, mine says Hulu.
I mean, it could be on both simultaneously.
Yeah.
Yeah, can we just say how freaking weird it is that movies are doing that nowadays?
Like West Side Story is on Disney+, but it's also on HBO Max, too.
Yeah, that's weird.
But yeah, I definitely want to check that out, because if it's up there with like freaking
Rey and the Last Dragon, Luka and the Mitchells versus the Machines and Incanto, it has to
be good.
I was going to say, don't leave out Incanto, you mother effer.
So it's hard for me to disagree with Incanto.
I just have a real soft spot for the Mitchells versus the Machines.
You know what, honestly, I went back and watched that movie again, and I don't know what...
I had such a better time watching it the second time.
Like, honestly, I think my score might have gone up a little bit.
Dude, it is so good.
It really is.
Yeah, it was so good.
But yeah, when you're talking freaking Disney movies, you can't freaking beat Incanto.
No, you cannot.
It is so freaking good.
Yeah.
Like, if...
I know that it technically doesn't...
It wouldn't have counted for this Oscar, but if this would have gone...
If Incanto would have gone up against Turning Red, I probably could have argued my way into
thinking that maybe Turning Red should have won.
I'm still thinking Incanto would have taken it.
I think ultimately it would have, but I would have made a damn good argument for Turning
Red.
Fair enough.
Yeah, but Incanto aside, I probably would have given this to Raya.
See, I'm completely different than that, because don't get me wrong, I like Raya in The Last
Dragon.
It's good.
Don't get me wrong.
If I had to have a second choice, I'd probably give it to Mitchell's Versus the Machines.
I would not want to argue with you on that at all.
I love that movie.
But yeah, it's that good.
Dude, who won last year?
I think...
Sol, I'm pretty sure.
Sol?
I want to look something up real fast.
All right.
Yeah, I'm looking up...
Yeah, I'm looking up the winners for animated movies.
There are so many Disney movies.
Are you getting Pixar into that too?
Yeah, no, I throw Pixar into the Disney bundle.
So for the 2020s, it was just Incanto and Sol that won.
That's just 2020s so far.
For the 2010s, the only not Disney movies that won Disney slash Pixar were Into the
Spider-Verse and Rango.
That's so sad.
Every other...
Both of those are really good though.
So in the 2010s, out of 10 years of movies, only... or eight of them were freaking Disney.
Wow.
Then let's see, for the... just the 2000s?
Okay, this one had a bit more.
Is Happy Feet Disney?
No, that's 20th Century Fox.
Okay, it was at the time.
Or wait, no, maybe that's Sony actually.
You sure?
Maybe it is...
No, I think it is 20th Century Fox.
I know it's not Disney.
Yeah, so in the 2005 Disney movies won.
And they had the most because the winners that weren't Disney were Shrek, Spirited Away,
Curse of the Were Rabbit, and Happy Feet, even though I'm sure I've seen that on Disney.
Oh, well they did...
Happy Feet is like the one movie I feel it didn't deserve to win because I don't know.
No, dude, it freaking beat out Cars.
I probably liked Cars better than Happy Feet.
Dude, the freaking top...
I'm not sure if it's like top three or nothing.
Actually, no, it's just other nominees.
Yeah, so 2006 is when Happy Feet won.
It beat out Cars and Monster House.
Monster House should have taken it.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, dude, I will defend Monster House to my freaking grave.
Okay, I like...
That is one of my favorite animated films.
I'll give you this.
I like Monster House.
I don't know if it beat out Cars though.
Ouch.
But Happy Feet shouldn't have beat out either of those.
Okay.
You know what?
Okay, when Shrek won, do you feel that it should have or should it have been Monsters
Inc.?
No, that should have gone to Shrek.
Really?
Yeah.
See, I disagree.
This is how I would have ranked it.
Gosh, we could go on for days about animated movies.
I think how they have it...
Because I'm on Wikipedia.
Are you on Wikipedia?
No, I'm not.
Okay.
So, yeah, 2001 is when Shrek was in the running.
So, yeah, Shrek was like the...
It seemed like it was the first one.
It was.
Yeah.
So, Shrek beat out Jimmy Neutron in Monsters Inc.
And I think if Shrek didn't win it, it should have gone to Jimmy Neutron.
I did not...
Monsters Inc. is...
It's not a bad movie.
It's not my favorite.
That's some fighting words, buddy.
I'm trying to see if there's any that I disagree with going down.
In 2002, Spirited Away beat out a majority of these movies.
Dude, I would probably say I like Monsters Inc. better than The Incredibles.
I'll give you that.
Oh, I thought you were gonna put up way...
Damn it, I thought you were gonna put up way more of a fight.
I thought you were gonna be like, whoa, no, bro.
No, I understand.
I understand.
Okay.
Like, personally, I like Incredibles better, but again, not...
Incredibles and Monsters Inc. are not super far away from each other on my ranking.
Damn, I'm very interested to hear what your number one Pixar movie is, then.
Or do you have one?
My number one Pixar?
Gosh, you're gonna make me look up this list, aren't you?
I sure as hell am.
Wait, we had an episode about this.
Okay, but this is personal favorite.
This isn't like a...
Like a ranking?
Yeah.
Shit, alright, let's see.
Are we talking like overall Pixar movies?
Yeah, overall.
Oh, shit.
Dude, this is freaking hard.
I don't know.
Maybe Up.
Okay.
Yeah, that's a good one.
It's between Up and Inside Out.
Ooh, those two are masterpieces.
Yeah.
Okay, I like it.
But anyway, but I am not seeing a...
Actually, is Corpse Bride Disney?
No.
No?
That's Sony, I'm pretty sure.
Okay.
Yeah, other than 2005, I'm not seeing any movie or any years where Disney didn't at
least have a nomination.
Wait, what was 2005?
So in 2005, it was Wallace and Gromit, Corpse Bride, and Howl's Moving Castle.
There's only three movies?
Yeah, a lot of these years, they only had three movies.
I mean, Wallace and Gromit definitely deserved it.
Yeah, Corpse Bride was good, but I'll just take your word on Wallace and Gromit.
Wait, you've never seen Wallace and Gromit, The Curse of the Werewolf?
No, dude, haven't I told you about my feelings about that animation style?
Oh yeah, I forgot.
Yeah, you hate the claymation style.
They're so funny.
Dude, the movie's so good, the shorts are so good.
Eh.
Yeah, so...
When did someone talk you into watching Wallace and Gromit one day?
So 2005 is the only year Disney didn't have a nomination.
In the 2010s, 2011 they didn't have a nomination.
What were the nominees?
Rango, A Cat in Paris, Chico and Rita, Kung Fu Panda 2, and Puss in Boots.
Wow two DreamWorks movies, that never happens.
Yeah, and I did what I said I was going to do and I went back and rewatched Puss in Boots.
It absolutely holds up.
Hell yeah, I'm so happy to hear that.
Let's see the other year.
After that Disney's...
Only two years where Disney's never had a nomination.
Wow, that's insane.
Right?
But anyway, getting back to this year, Encanto definitely deserved the win here.
This movie was just everything you wanted it to be.
And I've seriously watched it...
I'm being generous here.
Or not generous.
Lowballing?
Yeah I'm probably lowballing it but I'm in the 30s of how many times I've watched it.
Has Iris moved on to another favorite movie yet?
So far she hasn't had another movie that she's obsessed with.
It's just been shows.
I can deal with shows.
Fair enough.
Anyway, random applause for Encanto.
Alright moving on.
To cinematography, the nominees were Nightmare Alley, Dan Lawston, The Power of the Dog,
Harry Wegener, Dune, Greg Frazier, Bruno Delbonel, The Tragedy of Macbeth, and Janus Kaminski
for West Side Story.
And the winner was Dune for Greg Frazier.
I will give Dune this.
It's a pretty movie.
I will give him that.
Dune was just so fucking boring.
I'm sorry.
Dude it was.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah I saw West Side Story.
I haven't seen the other movies but West Side Story would have been a really close competitor.
They have a very stylized cinematography which I think plays pretty well for the era.
And it was really fun to see all the cool cinematography that they were doing.
But yeah Dune was just so freaking boring dude.
Like yeah it was pretty but it was pretty much fake.
Like all of it was fake.
Well wait I thought they shot on location for some of this stuff.
I could have sworn they did.
Like what location?
The freaking Sahara?
Yeah exactly.
Dude did they really?
I'm pretty sure.
Son of a bitch.
Let's find out.
Okay I'll take back everything I said if that's true.
But honestly I think the only thing that Dune got right was like I don't think there was
anything special when it came to like character dialogues and like that kind of conversation.
But if you're wanting to talk like full like cinematic scenery shots like yeah they kicked
ass.
So yeah it was filmed on location.
It says the film which takes place primarily on a desert planet called Acur...
Arcus?
I forget how the hell to say it.
Was shot in four locations.
Wadi Rum in Jordan.
The desert outside of Abu Dhabi.
The northwest coast of Norway.
And the sound stages of Orego Studio in Budapest.
So it was shot on location for the most part.
You say Budapest but I'm pretty sure that was a mispronunciation.
Oh okay.
My bad.
Like didn't they like make fun of it?
Well yeah Scarlett keeps saying Budapest.
And he keeps... yeah whatever the hell his name is keeps calling it Budapest.
Yeah shut up.
Anyway I mean I guess there is a good win there.
I mean I won't totally disagree but I didn't feel like there was anything special between
like conversations.
In West Side Story I feel like they had really good sets to film around.
It kind of felt like they were filming like a theater production in a way.
And it felt really cool.
And you'll see what I mean when...
I finally get to watching it.
We need to figure out like which categories we're always going to talk about whenever
we do like episodes like these.
Just so I can just freaking pound through all these movies.
Dude yeah same here.
Next up we got Costume Design.
And the nominees were Massimo Cantini, Paorini, and Jacqueline Duran for Serrano.
Jacqueline West and Robert Morgan for Dune.
Jenny Baven for Cruella.
Lewis Lois...
Lewis however you say it.
Lewis Sequeira for Nightmare Alley.
And Paul Taswell for West Side Story.
And the winner was very well deserved was Jenny Beavan for Cruella.
Dude she freaking killed it.
Yeah if Cruella didn't win this one I was going to be pissed.
Yeah that's one of those movies like if that movie didn't win the Oscars are already so
much of a joke.
That's true.
Like seriously we need to make our own like award show.
Like just do like we said just do a month.
We're going to we're talking about it but our idea is a monthly awards show where we
talk about the best 20 or the best movies of that year that came out that month that
we saw.
And then those movies are going to compete at the end of the year or like the beginning
of the new year for like Top Spot and like we'll split them up into categories and whatnot.
But yeah so I think we're going to attempt to do that.
And then obviously like we'll throw in some of the like the Oscar nominations too.
Or at least ones that we haven't seen.
So alright next up, sorry for somebody who just decided to skip.
Oh my god what the hell is it?
Dude if we do like the breakdown system on those movies like obviously we don't have
to break down every single movie that we break or that we like not do an episode.
Like we don't have to do an episode on every single movie that we see.
Like just the ones that we want to talk about on the show.
But if we do the breakdown system like we can figure out exactly where these movies
rank.
That's true.
And so like at the end of the year when we split them up by category like we have like
we have like the individual like score for that category or just like the overall when
it comes to like actors or whatever.
Yeah.
Hey there we go.
Oh my gosh like I'm freaking excited about this now.
Okay so next up we have best director.
The nominees were Kenneth Branagh for Belfast.
He directed that?
Oh my god another reason to see this movie.
I freaking love him.
Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Drive My Car, Paul Thomas Anderson for Liquor's Pizza, Jane Campion
for The Power of the Dog, and Steven Spielberg for West Side Story.
When I was Jane Campion, did I say champion?
I'm not Campion.
Jane Campion for The Power of the Dog.
Why is that name so familiar?
I don't know.
I'm like the same way.
I kind of want to know.
Let's find out.
Jane Campion.
Jane Campion Films.
Here we go.
I've never heard of any of these.
The Legend of Palm Dior?
Oh wasn't the last name of one of the actresses from the inheritance movie?
Wasn't her last name Campion?
It might have been.
Probably probably.
Okay.
I'm not recognizing any of these movies.
So anyway, she won for Best Director.
Never seen The Power of the Dog, so I'm just assuming she will deserve.
I mean honestly if I had to pick one, just because it's been so long since he's gotten
an Oscar, Steven Spielberg.
He did not.
No.
I saw West Side Story.
No.
This was not his best work.
He has released such better movies, he did not deserve an Oscar for this movie.
Shit.
Okay.
Well then who would you have given it to if you didn't give it to Jane Campion?
I hadn't seen the other movies, so I couldn't say.
All I know is that he didn't deserve it.
Damn.
Well you know at least Cale is being honest.
And I like Steven Spielberg, so I hold him to a much higher standard than everyone else.
So yeah.
That's fair.
So I'm going to skip over two just because we haven't seen any of these.
It's the documentary feature and the documentary short subject.
Well we never talk about those anyway.
That's true.
Like we only cover like the main, like big ones.
Yeah.
Next up we got film editing.
We have Joe Walker for Dune, Hank Corwin for Don't Look Up, Paul Mella, Martin for King
Richard, Peter Skibaris for The Power of the Dog, and Myron Kirstein and Andrew Weisblum
for Tick Tick Boom.
And the winner was, even though I said it first, god damn it, is Joe Walker for Dune.
Uh.
Whoopty fucker.
No.
Whoopty fucking do.
Sorry.
No.
This one was no.
Who would you have given it to?
Uh, sorry, I would have given it to literally anyone else.
Let's just say Tick Tick Boom because the Andrew Garfield movie deserves some love here.
Sure.
Um.
It's hard.
Because, okay, my biggest problem with Dune was just that it dragged.
Like so much.
And this is only part one.
Yeah.
And it was just, it was boring.
The only other movie that I've seen was Don't Look Up.
And that's on Netflix and it was, it was eh.
Zite?
Yeah, well, my problem with that one was the um, the story.
I just did not care for the story.
It was more like irritating than anything.
And I know that that's kind of what they were going for, but it just was, it was a lot.
It was a lot of movie and I just, I didn't care for it.
Even though I think it was also maybe too realistic of a look into political life because
like that's exactly how they would handle this situation.
I'm kind of scared to watch it then.
Yeah.
It.
Personally, I don't feel it's worth the watch.
Okay.
I trust your opinion.
The only thing that's worth seeing in it is Jonah Hill.
Okay.
It means like not a big part of it.
Oh damn it.
I miss Jonah Hill.
Yeah.
Um, other than that, I still want to see Tic Tic Boom.
And the more nominations that it gets, I really want to see Power of the Dog.
Yeah with Benedict Cumberbatch.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm still on the fence now about King Richard because you know, reasons.
Yep.
All right.
So we're skipping over international feature film because we have no idea of any of these,
but you know what?
Kudos or congratulations to Drive My Car from Japan for winning.
That's awesome.
Next up we got makeup and hair styling.
We have Coming to America.
I never thought I'd see Coming to America nominated at the Oscars.
Yeah, right.
Mike Marino, Stacey Morris, and Carla Farmer, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Linda Dowd, Stephanie
Ingram, and Justin Relay, Cruella, Nadia Stacey, Naomi Dawn, and Julia Vernon, Dune, Donald
Mowat, Love Larson, and Eva Von Barr, and House of Gucci, Goran Lundström, Anna Karin
Locke, and Frederick Asperas.
And the winner was The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
I would have given this to either Cruella or House of Gucci.
I haven't watched House of Gucci yet, which reminds me, I need to send you that digital
code.
But the costumes and hair styling alone, like from what I've seen, are just like fricking
top notch in House of Gucci, especially what they were able to do with Jared Leto.
So honestly, I feel like it should have had a really good chance of winning.
Yeah.
Honestly I think Coming to America would have been my top.
Really?
Yeah, and that's just because of how many different makeup and all that different stuff
that they had to do with Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall.
Oh, okay.
Just because they played damn near every freaking character it felt like.
So it's just they had so many different characters that they played.
So I don't know.
I think that's probably where my vote would have gone to.
Okay, fair.
Then I don't even know why the hell Dune got a nomination.
Like what the hell did they do other than put contacts in people's eyes?
And the freaking like nostril thing.
Yeah, like freaking who gives a shit?
All right, moving on to original score.
We have Don't Look Up, Nicholas Brattel, Encanto, Germain Franco, Dune, Hans Zimmer, Parallel
Mothers, Alberto Iglesias, and The Power of the Dog, Johnny Greenwood.
And the winner is no shocker here, Dune, Hans Zimmer.
And I feel that only one because it's Hans Zimmer.
Yep.
Which one was this original score?
Yeah.
Encanto definitely deserved this one.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
Dune.
I couldn't even like hum you the theme song or like the score to Dune.
Dude, I still haven't even bought this movie on Blu-ray or 4K and I don't even think I'm
going to.
Maybe if it's like freaking stupid.
If it's ten bucks on 4K, maybe.
But only 4K because the Blu-ray cover sucks, but the Blu-ray cover is kind of cool.
Yeah, Steelbook, though, was stupid.
I don't know how that one sold out.
Yeah, Dune did not deserve this one.
Like, hell, I would have even given it to Don't Look Up.
I just would love if a Dune lover is listening to this episode.
They're just like, shut the fuck up.
Stop bagging on my favorite movie.
Well, how about you get better taste in movies?
Damn.
Wow.
Shots fired by Caleb.
Yeah, I'll freaking throw down.
I don't give a shit.
All right.
Next up, we got Best Original Song.
And even though it wasn't nominated for this, and I'll get to it after we announce the winner,
but I got something to say about one of the Encanto songs that was performed, and the
performance pissed me off.
Anyway, so the nominees were Be Alive from King Richard, Dos Orejitas from Encanto.
I know I butchered that.
Come to Joy from Belfast, No Time to Die from No Time to Die, and Somehow You Do from Four
Good Days.
And the winner was No Time to Die from No Time to Die by, and it was sung by Billie
Eilish.
I haven't seen No Time to Die, so I don't know the song.
I like Billie Eilish.
I've heard the song, but I think I agree with this one.
You do?
I absolutely do.
It's just a pretty good song.
It's hard for me to say that because I also love the Dos Orejitas.
It's hard to pronounce.
From Encanto, that one was just so good.
But yeah, Billie Eilish deserved this one.
Oh yeah, okay.
I'll tell you.
Not the biggest fan of her music, but she earned it.
With this, I don't know if you saw that they performed a live version of We Don't Talk
About Bruno.
Oh, good hell.
Okay, so he didn't see it.
Is it as bad as I think it is?
Oh, dude, it's even worse.
Oh no.
No, see, the cast performing it was great.
That was good for the 20 seconds that we actually got of that.
And then it moves into them singing about the Oscars, singing about the nominees, who
looks like what this evening to the beat of the We Don't Talk About Bruno rhythm, like
the background music.
It's so stupid.
I hated it so much.
I'm like, you literally sung We Don't Talk About Bruno for like 20 seconds, 30 maybe
tops.
I don't even think it was 30 seconds.
But yeah, then it just turned into, oh, we're going to sing about the Oscars, but to the
tempo of We Don't Talk About Bruno.
So stupid.
It pissed me off.
And did you hear what they freaking said about animated movies?
Oh, wasn't it like they they remind me again.
I forgot it was like they basically said that animation is for kids and adults to endure.
And I give you a resounding fuck off.
Yeah.
Like what kind of horse shit, dude, there was so much sketchy shit that happened this Oscars.
Seriously.
You know what, I think this is I think this is the episode I've said the most effort song.
No.
Oh, really?
No, that was last week when you were bitching about the dude in your uncharted theater.
OK, I don't really think I have any other reasons to say the F word.
So I'm not going to beat it on this one.
Sorry, guys.
One day I will.
We'll see.
Yeah.
But like, what kind of shady shit was that?
Yes.
Yeah.
Screw you people for saying that.
Dude, there was so much like this.
This sucked.
Dude, this the Oscars are a complete and utter joke.
Yeah, they really are like they.
They don't like they have movies here that like are completely overlooked.
Mm hmm.
Like I've seen indie movies that are better than most of the Oscar nominations.
Yeah.
Like and that's like a lot of the time.
Like I'm like, OK, that's that didn't need a nomination.
This certainly didn't need one.
Like it's so stupid.
Like good movies are more than not more than not like overlooked completely.
Like they just need to stop.
They really do.
Like at least when we do like our own, it's going to be based off numbers.
It's true.
That is very true.
Yeah.
Like like that's what I think is going to be fun about our.
Like if like when we do our awards stuff, like our awards, like we aren't going to pick
them like it is going to be solely based off of the numbers.
So yeah, you guys can freaking go screw yourself if you think and you can't get like if animated
movies are only for kids, like especially with a movie like Flea.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Like what kind of bullshit is that?
Yeah, piss off.
They have adult animation, you pricks.
Anyway, I freaking hate the Oscars.
Yeah, me too, man.
Well, moving on to best original screenplay, we have Don't Look Up by Adam McKay.
I'm just going to say Adam McKay.
King Richard by Zach Bailen.
Liquorice Pizza by Paul Thomas Anderson.
Belfast by Kenneth Branagh and The Worst Person in the World by Eskil Woot and Jockeum Trier.
And the winner is Belfast for Kenneth Branagh.
And honestly, that makes me happy because I love Kenneth Branagh.
And this is another reason for me to watch this freaking movie.
And I'm very excited.
Yeah, I'm just really glad that Don't Look Up didn't win.
You know, fair enough.
Like King Richard.
I'm like, can you really say that's an original screenplay?
Because that's more like, how does that work?
You know, I've always wondered that too.
And I mean, I guess if you're taking, because like, I don't think like a book or anything
has been written about Venus and Serena and their dad.
That's surprising.
Right.
So they're not really basing it off anything.
I mean, they're basing it off real people, but they're kind of like making it into their
own.
I guess that is technically original screenplay.
That surprises the hell out of me.
It does me too, because I want to say when Straight Outta Compton was nominated, that
was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, and that wasn't based off a book or anything.
So that was just based off like real life events.
So yeah, I'm like really confused how this works.
Yeah.
And then I don't know anything about the worst person in the world.
I don't either.
And then Lickersh Pizza I hear is very controversial.
I have heard the same.
I've heard the same.
So I mean, congrats to Kenneth Branagh.
Yeah.
Still need to watch your Death on the Nile, but I'll watch it eventually.
It's on HBO.
I was actually thinking about checking it out.
If you do, let me know how it is.
Okay.
Next up, we got Best Adapted Screenplay.
We have Drive My Car by Screenplay by Ryusuke Hamaguchi and Takamasa Oe.
Dune Screenplay by John Spa-Eats and Denise Villeneuve and Eric Roth.
Why do people have to have such hard names?
Yeah.
I'm like, dude, I don't think anyone would blame you if you just like skip the names.
Okay.
You know, okay.
Yeah, we're going to skip them.
Yeah, we're done.
Okay.
The Lost Daughter, The Power of the Dog and Koda.
And I kind of fucked it up.
The winner is Koda.
I'm going to need to watch this movie.
Yeah.
I definitely want to check this one out.
But I have a feeling that there's going to be subtitles, so I need to set aside time
to read.
Yeah, same.
Next up, we have Visual Uffexed.
The nominees are...
I'm ready to freaking throw down, dude.
I knew this was going to be the one.
Caleb was just like, my time to shine.
We have Free Guy, No Time to Die, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Dune, and
Spider-Man, No Way Home.
And the winner is... because fuck this movie, Dune.
Dude, that is bull shit.
If this went to any movie, I'm not even going to throw...
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm about to say this.
I think the visual effects should have gone to something like No Time to Die.
Dude, same.
I haven't seen it yet, but from what I've seen in the trailers, the shit that they had
to do with when they're in that car and all the guns are going off and everything, that
shit looked amazing.
Don't get me wrong.
I would love to see a Marvel movie win, but some of the CGI in Spider-Man, No Way Home
was a little spotty.
Yeah, Free Guy had a lot more spotty CGI.
I would definitely agree with that.
Honestly, if I were to rank these, I would give No Time to Die number one, because that
stuff looked freaking pristine.
Then I would give it to Shang-Chi, then Spider-Man, No Way Home, then Free Guy, then Dune, then
Free Guy.
I'll be nice.
I would absolutely agree with your listing.
Don't get me wrong.
Dune's effects were really good.
They were up there.
Yeah.
Honestly, I think I could also make the argument for having this beat out No Way Home, but
it did not deserve a win over No Time to Die.
Unless there's some bit of super sketchy CGI that I'm completely missing out on.
When I've talked to you about it, No Time to Die had great effects.
Yeah, that's what I've heard too.
But freaking Dune was so hard to see most of the time.
Oh, great.
Your best visual...
Dude, did you watch the freaking visual effects artist react for Dune?
No.
They had one of the guys that worked on the special effects in that movie.
They went through and did the most disgusting thing ever and got a 3D rendering of a turtle's
throat for the worm.
They went through, did all of that stuff, added the teeth, added everything, and they
made it so freaking dark that no one could see it.
What the fuck?
Yeah, they're like, yeah, we went in, did all of this different stuff, and then in the
end you couldn't really see it.
I'm like, dude.
What horseshit?
So you literally just wasted your labor.
Yeah.
I'm like, dude, think about how many thousands of dollars went into shooting that.
Yeah, seriously though.
Or just recreating that.
And then they're like, oh yeah, but we hid most of it.
Why would you waste your time?
Yeah, people aren't expecting Easter eggs in Dune.
Yeah, now I have this really useless fact.
Like, hey, did you know that they used a turtle?
You know that thing you can't see?
Yeah, did you know that they 3D modeled a turtle's throat?
Yeah, on that thing you can't freaking see.
Freaking stupid.
The only thing that came out of that movie that was like, effects-wise, that I thought
was really cool was the, what do they call them, theopters?
Dude, I'll be honest, I don't remember a lot of Dune.
It was like the freaking dragonfly looking things.
I think I'm remembering those.
Yeah, I thought those were pretty cool.
Other than that, wasn't super impressed.
Not over freaking like No Time to Die or Shang-Chi.
Like freaking Academy, you can royally go screw yourself.
If my mic wasn't super cheap, mic drop.
Alright, next up we got Sound.
And the nominees were Belfast, No Time to Die, The Power of the Dog, Dune, and West
Side Story.
And no shocker here.
Once again, the winner is Dune.
Can I just go to someone else?
Dude, what the hell does best sound mean?
I've thought the same thing.
Like you can just hear it the best.
Cause like honestly, I had a hard time hearing some of the talking that they were doing in
Dune.
Yeah, I needed freaking subtitles.
And I had the volume up freaking loud.
And then the action scenes came freaking blew my eardrums.
Freaking stupid.
Like what do they even cover with best sound?
This seems like such a bullshit category.
It does.
It's like sound mixing?
Like isn't that usually how it goes?
Yeah if it's sound mixing, then you guys freaking failed.
Who would you give it to?
Well, the only one I could think about giving it to was West Side Story.
Cause I hadn't seen the other ones.
It was alright.
Like, there wasn't anything that was...
If we're talking sound mixing, I could keep it at the same volume.
Okay.
At least there's that.
That is a huge win right there.
Yeah.
I don't know what else to grade this on.
Cause this is just a super vague category.
Yeah it really is.
Moving on, but skipping to short film live action and short film animated.
Cause we haven't heard of any of those.
Wait, we're skipping over those?
Yeah.
Okay.
Next up we got production design.
And the nominees were Nightmare Alley, The Power of the Dog, The Tragedy of Macbeth,
West Side Story, and Dune.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I've seen, I feel the production was very
well put together on West Side Story.
It was really well done.
The stuff that they had there felt like real sets.
What did Dune design?
The desert?
Sand.
I hate sand.
Dune, you did not deserve as many awards as you got.
Dune didn't deserve shit in my opinion.
No.
I'll give you this.
You can make the argument for visual effects.
Yeah.
Sorry.
That's that.
Other than that, yeah, you guys didn't deserve shit.
I really want to see Nightmare Alley because, oh dude, the steelbook came back in stock
so I ordered it.
Oh hell yeah.
I forget which service it's on, but Nightmare Alley is actually on a streaming service now.
God damn it.
They just keep eating.
HBO Max.
Okay.
Hey, so I actually meant to ask you this.
I guess you might as well as ask you online.
With your Voodoo, do you all just start entering the code in for your Voodoo and make it a
lot easier on you when I get a movie?
That way it's already there.
So you know how I send you the code and you enter it in on your Voodoo?
I don't know if you noticed.
I entered the code in for your Voodoo for Power Rangers so I added that to your video
library.
Do you want me to start doing that with every movie?
Just entering it in myself?
I'm going to say no.
Okay.
And it's not like for any particular reason because sometimes they will...
It's super weird where sometimes on Voodoo you can enter a code and it will only...
Sometimes it's like a Movies Anywhere code.
It won't work on Voodoo, but you have to enter it on Movies Anywhere and then it will upload
itself to Voodoo, which is so weird.
It's more just a convenience thing because I go in and we'll enter a bunch at the same
time.
Okay.
Alright, that makes more sense.
You were behind though.
I am behind.
I need to...
Friggin, you haven't even entered the Forever Purge.
And I sent you that one.
Have I not?
Yeah, you haven't.
Oh.
You entered Halloween Kills, but not the Forever Purge.
Yeah, I'll have to go through because I need to catch back up.
Yeah, just a little bit.
But yeah, if you want to watch Power Rangers, it's on there now.
Sweet.
Because I literally had like three friggin' digital codes for that and I'm just like,
I wonder if any of these actually still work.
Oh hey, they actually do.
Yeah, I mean if you wanted to do that with just like the Voodoo ones, like feel free
to.
Okay.
Yeah, just don't.
But all the others, no.
Yeah, well, yeah, just don't send it...
The ones that specifically say Voodoo on them, you can, if you wanted to.
But yeah, just don't send me it.
Because then I'm going through and I don't want to enter ones that have already been
entered.
Got it.
But anyway.
Yeah, so Dune, you can go screw yourself.
We are so kind to this movie.
Maybe if this movie didn't suck.
You know, fair enough.
Alright, and the final award.
The big one.
Best Picture.
And the nominees are Belfast, Don't Look Up, Drive My Car, Dune, King Richard, Koda, Licorice
Pizza, Nightmare Alley, The Power of the Dog, and West Side Story.
Holy shit, that's a lot of nominees.
Goddamn.
The winner is Koda.
Hell yeah.
I'm really excited for this one.
I honestly thought it was going to be between Koda and Belfast.
Yeah, that's what I thought too.
Honestly, I'm just glad Dune didn't get it.
I would have been freaking pissed.
Yeah, right?
I would have been pissed.
I didn't want Don't Look Up to get it.
And when I remembered that West Side Story had a nomination, I really didn't want West
Side Story to get it either.
I'm so interested to watch this movie now.
It's more than I was.
My issue with it is that it is not Steven Spielberg's best work.
It's not...
Yeah, we'll talk about it when we talk about it, but I have thoughts about it.
And we'll get into those eventually.
Eventually.
Alright, well, that's it for our headliner of the evening.
Unless, Caleb, do you have anything else you want to add about this year's Oscars?
That is a big ol' negative.
You don't want to add how just amazing they were?
Best year ever?
Freaking hell.
Dude, they did so much shady shit.
Yeah, we'll see how 2023 is.
Shady stuff is still coming out about this movie.
I will say though, Amy Schumer's opening monologue?
Holy shit.
I haven't listened to it.
Dude, it is brutal.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh shit.
She...I don't know if Jennifer Lawrence was there, but she made a comment about Jennifer
Lawrence having gained weight this year.
And then made this comment about how Leonardo DiCaprio was donating to all these great causes
because he wants to leave a great world behind for his girlfriends?
Oh shit, okay.
Dude, it was brutal.
Okay, wow.
I'm like, oh shit.
Oh my gosh.
It was freaking great, dude.
It was great.
Off to Google to listen.
I was trying to find...because I thought it was her that made the comments about the animated
movies.
Yeah.
Who was it then?
I don't know.
I was just trying to find that monologue and that was the first one that came up, so I
was like, okay.
Yeah, I don't know who actually made those comments, but I'll find out.
If it was Amy Schumer, then we'll see.
But yeah, like freaking brutal.

not going to happen for me.
At least you're honest about it.
Yeah, exactly.
Like maybe this is going to be one of the movies where your expectations for are so
low that it exceeds those by like a little bit and you're like, yeah, she was pretty
good.
No, I'm probably going to hate it.
