[S2025E6] The Rest of the Best (Picture Nominees) + Emilia Perez Fallout + Why Brazilian Cinema Is Still Here to Stay

1 month ago

Status: 21/50 Total | 21/35 Features | 0/15 Shorts | 84/120 Nominations

On this episode, we talk about the Emilia Perez situation (and why I don't think it will really affect how many wins it will get, for reasons you may not expect), and go over the Best Picture nominees I hadn't talked about or watched yet (I'm Still Here, A Complete Unknown, The Substance + September 5 for Screenplay). I also have a voicemail from friend of the show Pedro Lima talking about the history of Brazilian Cinema and why I'm Still Here's nomination is so significant.
