Coda won Best Picture and Our Hearts and we say ”Why Will Smith? Why?” with Phoebe’s Dad George‪!‬ Joshua and Phoebe Yell About Movies!

Hey Movie Yelling Listeners!




This week’s episode was recorded the day after the Academy Awards, yes the same awards with the now infamous Will Smith slapping Chris Rock moment that you, me, and everyone you know could not stop talking about. 

But we also could not stop talking about Coda, a film that we watched the night before the Oscars that won Best Picture as well as Best Supporting Actor for Troy Kotsur. 

It’s a beautiful film about a family of deaf fishermen and the struggle with their hearing daughter who they need to run the fishing business, but she wants to go to college to become a singer. It’s a movie not just about following your dreams, but about what do you owe the family who gave you the opportunity to have those dreams.

This is one manufactured drama that felt real and seeing the struggles firsthand of full-time sign language use in a world that doesn’t know sign language was eye-opening.




In conclusion, we loved it! And yes, along with our very special guest star, actor George Kmeck (Phoebe’s Dad) we did yell about Will Smith also.




Hey, it’s a living!
