2024 Oscar Recap Culture Matters

Liz is back and the studio has never felt more alive! She joins us to pick apart this year's Oscars. This episode isn't just about the glitz of the gala; it's our reflections on the highlights, the lowlights, the war and peace narratives threading through recent cinema, the cultural disconnect that often plagues the Oscars and why we (mostly Adam) think film is still so important for art and creativity. We wrap up with our personal top picks from 2023.
Join us for a celebration of storytelling, a critical look at cultural engagement, and loads of hot sports — ahem, film — opinions!
