A Very Special Oscars Special

With Laci out on assignment, Matt interviews a handful of friends and past guests of the show to preview Hollywood's Biggest Night™. With the Academy Awards ceremony looming in two days, he and his pals preview all of the major categories, and a few fun extra ones. 

So tune in for detailed conversations about movies like Anora, A Complete Unknown, Dune Part Two, Wicked, The Brutalist, Nosferatu, Inside Out 2, Emilia Perez, Nickel Boys, Sing Sing, Conclave, A Real Pain, The Substance, The Wild Robot, Kindom of the Planet of the Apes, and more!
