Folks, I can’t believe it – it’s been a year since our innagural Oscars Spectacular! A lot has changed in the ensuing years, but one thing hasn’t: Matt and my love for the magic of cinema.
It was a less charged year than last year’s ceremony, what with there being no monumental screw up in the awarding of Best Picture. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty returned and the presentation of Best Picture went off with nary a hitch!
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t tons for Matt and me to discuss this time around! There’s fishfucking, peachfucking, and the fucking of other things to talk about. It was a very horny year for films, and hopefully our podcast this year reflects this.
We’ve once again included our top five films of the year –- once again Matt and I agree on the year’s best film but little else. Enjoy the podcast!
