Friday, November 22, 2013 at 3:46PM Got any questions you'd like answered on this weekend's special holiday edition Podcast? If so, let us know.
reader requests Sunday, September 22, 2013 at 11:00PM 
For today's super-casz edition of the Podcast it's just Nathaniel & Nick gabbing. We argue about Short Term 12's schematic screenplay and individual character arcs (Nathaniel loved it all / Nick did not) and how the movie reflects what we look for in movies. After that discussion it's off to reader questions involving directors & their muses, the art of movie titling (not the credit sequences, the actual titles), and opinion-shifting from past Oscar seasons.
You'll have to listen to find out how Gravity, American Beauty, Vera Farmiga, and Spike Jonze's Adaptation fit into it all. You can do so here at the bottom of the post or download it on iTunes. Join in the conversation in the comments once you've listened.

*I'm sorry that it wasn't here but do tell!
Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 5:00AM Tonight Joe, Katey, Nick and I , Nathaniel, will be calling a wrap on Oscar 2012 coverage (yes, yes, it's 2013 but I go by film year) with one final podcast. Any questions you'd like answered as we say our goodbyes? Sound off.

A couple of days after the Oscar Nominations, I rang up Joe Reid, Katey Rich and Nick Davis to discuss the Academy's big reveal. In pt 1 of this hour long conversation we discuss:
1) The snubs that hurt us most.
2) The moments that made us squeal with delight.
3) Reader Questions. Thank you to the handful of people who were brave enough to ask them.
Pt 1 is mostly focused on the "big eight": Picture (Amour & Beasts of the Southern Wild !), Director (Benh Zeitlin - yes!, Ben Affleck -???), Actress, Actor, Supporting Actress (Amy Adams & Jacki Weaver mostly), Supporting Actor, and the Screenplays.
But high profile categories aside the masterful but snubbed Animated Short The Eagleman Stag gets a shout-out. And I promised I'd link up to it in this post, so here ya go. Watch it!
The Eagleman Stag. Absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately snubbed.
You can download the podcast on iTunes or listen right here at the bottom of the post.
