SPECIAL: Oscar Songs! Ballots! Fun!
We've got a music special and a ballot breakdown for the Oscars. Check out the show notes this week for so many fun links and things to listen to.
As a special pre-Oscars offering, we’re breaking down the five nominees for Best Original Song! We have opinions and we’re not afraid of sharing them for a fairly strong crop of songs. Except for one. A very specific one.
Then, we’re getting our snacks in order, our bubbly on ice and our ballots ready for the 90th Academy Awards on Sunday. We've got final discussion of our stone-cold locks to win and talk about the stakes. A hint - someone's gonna win this year, and someone's gonna feel the pain...
