Our journey to cover every film nominated for Best Picture continues with our latest episode on Sound of Metal.

The Father—which I’m still not convinced is a real movie—is apparently available to stream starting today. I’m excited to be the first human ever to watch it, and Eli and I will have our podcast recap available next week, thus concluding the Best Picture category.

I say this in the episode, but I really am so pleased with the nominees this year. Unless The Father turns out to be a real stinker, what we have is a really solid Best Picture list, and we’ve had a lot of fun discussing each film. We’ll tackle the acting and screenplay categories next.

We released the second episode of our Patreon-exclusive ANTM makeovers series. I can’t get over how tragic fashion was in 2004. #Neverforget the ruffled mini skirts, layered tanks, and neon heels. Become a patron to access every episode.
