Episode description

The Academy Award nominees were announced a week ago today, so theoretically we should have had a sufficient amount of time to mull over the various categories. However, this podcast offers something of a collective scratching of the heads at the hodgepodge of different Best Picture nominees. Host, Lady P, is joined by Oscar enthusiasts, and fellow UW-Madison Graduate Students, J.J. Bersch and Tim Brayton, to help sort through the good, the bad, and the Green Book of this year's contenders. Together they suggest reasons why there is so much incongruity in the major categories and discuss their favorites among the contenders. 

Plus, since we never got around to it last year, we are finally doing an abbreviated year-in-review show wherein we chat about A Story is Born, Spike Lee, Minding the Gap, and of course, Miss Weisz.  

If you want to hear more movie talk from Tim, here's a link to his regular podcasting gig, Alternate Ending. Also, he made a previous appearance on Flixwise for our Oliver & Company/The Hunchback of Notre Dame episode. 

And if you want a change of pace from movies, click here to listen to J.J's fantastic music playlists.
