Episode 086 - Who Will Win? Not the Hobster!

Hollywood's BIGGEST night is right around the corner... the Oscars are this Sunday, and this week on the podcast, myself and Justin are here to run down our picks for most of the categories. We've got a film or two yet to see ahead of the big show on Sunday!

Also this week, everyone's favorite rancid Hobster returns, upset he hasn't had any double cheese in awhile. Justin's stalker is still on the loose, and Nick got a brand new toy that he gives a huge thanks for in Thumbs of the Week. Thank you for listening! We'll see you at the movies!
