We Have Thoughts‪!‬ We Have Thoughts!

It's the night of the show y'all! Oscar night 2024 has come and gone. The three of us are reunited and discussing our feelings on each winner. The highs, the lows, the "oh i guess that happened" and "Ana! Quit thirsting over Ryan Gosling, we're uncomfortable." Also, how many times are we going to have old people totally ruin the Best Picture announcement? Cheers to another year in the books. Come back next year to geek out with us!

Looks like we made it! Here in the final episode of this years Conversations with Oscar Series we're talking about one of the more inventive movies we've seen. Jonathan Glazer crafted an uniquely told story that felt like a rain cloud hovering over the bright shiny Höss family. If we didn't know any better, we would think they were living a happy normal life. Only we do know better, and hearing the horrors happening in the background made this film hard to digest, but magnificent to watch.

Yorgos Lanthimos has delivered another Best Picture nominee but this time it has all a little undecided how we feel. Visually, this movie is stunning. The costumes, production design, and cinematography are all some of the best modern movies have to offer, but here we are again with a story told by someone who can't fully understand the subject of the film. Listen as we talk about our issues with the story and gush about the visual elements we loved.

The time has come for us to talk about the secret sleeper amongst the Best Picture nominees. American Fiction seemingly came out of nowhere and scored five nominations. It's an important satirical comedy that surprised us with how much we enjoyed it. We're not sure it will walk away come Oscar night with any statues, but we're happy its in the conversation this year.

The combination of Celine Song's writing and directing alongside the powerful acting trio that is Greta Lee, Teo Yoo and John Magaro, created such a perfect harmony that we had a hard time finding anything to critique in Past Lives. Every choice was a masterclass in how quiet, intimate story telling can be incredibly impactful. We're going to be gushing about the body language, the score and the longing presented here for years to come. Join us, wont you?
