Episode 083 - Oscar Review MEGASODE!
Thursday Feb 02, 2017
Thursday Feb 02, 2017
This week on the podcast, it is officially February, which means the countdown to the Oscars has begun! As of release day we're 24 days away from Hollywood's biggest night, and tonight it's time to bat clean-up on many of the films that Justin and myself have seen over the past several weeks but haven't had a chance to review. I'll touch on my weekend viewings of Florence Foster Jenkins and Captain Fantastic, and Justin will weigh in with some thoughts on The Founder and Jackie. We're also finally going to jump into a featured review once again on the podcast as we discuss La La Land! As you'll remember this film landed at #1 on Justin's top ten of 2016 and hit my #3, so it's safe to say we absolutely loved it.
We've also got your feedback this week in our Thumbs of the Week segment (final title, I swear!). We also have a plethora of iTunes reviews from the States and abroad, and this week we're also featuring our brand new featured actRESS... Kate Winslet! It was neck-and-neck between Tom Hanks and Arnold Schwarzenegger for the first few days and she had zero votes, but then the Winslet twitter fanbase came out in droves on twitter to register our highest vote count ever!
All this and plenty of other bits of fun and surprises as we roll toward the big show on February 26th. Thank you so much for listening... we'll see you at the movies!!!
