OSCARS '62: The 35th Annual Academy Awards (and 2025 Oscars Recap)

We're seen all the movies, we've enjoyed or destroyed them all based on how we feel, and the big night is here at last. We start off with a discussion of the 35th Annual Academy Awards and how unremarkable it was - save for one very uniquely petty acceptance speech. Frank Sinatra may be charming, but he really shouldn't emcee an awards show. Then we dive deep into the 2025 Oscars, are befuddled and disappointed by how much everyone seems to love Anora, declare love for Conan O'Brien's bits and the nation of Latvia, and overall just seem underwhelmed by the year in movies that was. Come along for a final Oscars episode to wrap our season on <em>Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
