Will it be "Parasite" or "1917" that takes home the big prize? Join us as we discuss the year that was 2019 in film as we break down our thoughts on all the Oscar-nominated movies, and then each pick what we think will win in all 24 categories. Keating pretentiously mocks Jim for making what he considers outrageously dumb picks.

We differed on 15 of the 24 categories!

And weirdly, we mention in this episode how we were amazed that 103-year-old Kirk Douglas was still alive, and then only minutes after we stopped recording, did the news of his death break. Spooky.

The Oscars ceremony will be held on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2020—and we will watch that together and then fire up the mics afterward to give you our immediate reactions to that, and to see who guessed more categories correctly (spoiler alert: it won’t be Jim).

Follow along here, where we have provided a list of the nominations in the order we read them, with what we each picked.

In Theaters: Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood

Some people have hailed this movie as a masterpiece while others think it’s a misogynistic mess. Where did we fall on that spectrum? What did we think of the surprise ending? How did we feel about the portrayal of Bruce Lee? Find out now.
