It's Oscars week and Zac & Amanda are here to answer your questions.
It's Bobby vs the Brutalist as Timothée Chalamet and Adrian Brody vie for Best Actor. Suddenly the Best Picture race is HOT between The Brutalist, Anora, or even Conclave??? We discuss if Kieran Culkin is committing category fraud and why Sing Sing isn't getting the recognition it deserves. All of that and more including who we think is taking home the biggest prizes.

Theme is: 2024 movies we missed. Despite watching over 500 movies collectively last year, there's always a few that slip through our fingers. Let's remedy that!

Zac and Amanda go through 30 movies they can't wait to see in 2025
Theme is: movies with less than 50% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, aka "underrated." Just because the people say it's bad doesn't mean it's actually bad. We swapped films that we'd ride for, even if it's really not that good of a film.

Theme is: director's final films. Wether it's intentional or by fate, eventual an auteur director creates their final film, bookending their career.

Time stop! After decades of working on it, the newest film from the indelible Francis Ford Coppola, Megalopolis, has come to screens.
Adam Driver plays futurist architect Caesar Calilina who hopes to build a utopia using his sustainable material Megalon that gave him the power to control time. Against his rival played by Giancarlo Esposito and with his love interest played by Nathalie Emmanuel, Catilina pushes for the future of New Rome all while trying to avoid his wealthy but corrupt and backstabbing family.
Now playing everywhere.
Zac and Amanda swap movies the other has never seen to shed light on each other's cinematic blindspots. Theme is: director blindspots. Sometimes it's movies in our blindspots, sometimes it's entire filmographies from certain directors. Two masters of the art of filmmaking, Wong Kar-Wai and Stanley Kubrick, make their way to the Blindspotters feed. Amanda watches Hong Kong classic IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000) and Zac watches dystopian insanity in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1972).
