"I wonder, all these mornings you've been sitting in my study, have you had any moments of stillness?"

The Oscars are getting closer! On this episode, we look at two of the nominees for Best Picture. Filmmaker Johnnie Brannon joins the show to discuss Sound of Metal, and I give my review of The Father.

Johnnie Brannon has been working as a filmmaker and musician for many years, and he runs the organization Made in Arkansas (who have a film festival coming up in May). He’s the perfect person to tackle Sound of Metal with, and at the end we do talk spoilers and I go into way too much detail about the film’s ending.
