I have grown to really enjoy listening to their Oscar predictions and takes. I love that their predictions are based on their read of the current horse race and not necessarily on their personal preferences. The hosts don’t take themselves too seriously unlike some other podcast hosts in this genre who arrogantly push their personal opinions and political agendas. I was at first put off by their dynamic but I now really love their dynamic and banter.

This is my favorite awards season podcast specifically cause of Chris and Joyce’s dynamic. Surprised to see some people complain Joyce is mean when she’s obviously just dry and they read each other as friends the whole time. Obviously they enjoy each other and bring totally different viewpoints. Anyway, Joyce is the goat, so good at her predictions and I love how unserious they keep things throughout the season. Reminds you that this is all just fun and games, everyone!

Love this show!

but i don’t know how…

Is this like a parody (add vocal fry)?

Loving these Oscar recap episodes!

So disorganized and incoherent with “like” said between each word. They also say “I could see it happen” for all scenarios, including blatantly absurd ones. I tried several times to listen because I love Oscar season, but this podcast is unlistenable.

Long-time listener here and wanted to say this podcast needs a revamp. Joyce is so awful and condescending to Chris, I can’t stand it anymore. I don’t care that she’s knowledgeable if she can’t be kind. Please, please find a more respectful co-host.

Longtime lurker, first time commenter. We must be of similar generations because we remember very similar highlights from ceremonies past. Love the cohosts' easy chemistry and how they always seem to be in good spirits, because, c'mon, we all love the Oscars but this isn't nuclear warfare we're debating! It should be fun and that's exactly what you bring to the table. Thanks!

I hoped for a thoughtful, in depth review of the Oscars and got explanations like “they just liked the movie” or “I guess they didn’t like it enough to vote for him”. No kind of going through the results either by movie, or category so that comparisons could be made. No thoughts like maybe Tom Hanks was really the main character in Elvis which affected voting for Austin Butler. No description of the themes of the movies just an unbelievable repetition of the word “narrative”. This is the last episode of this podcast I will ever listen to.
