sportsalcohol.com podcast SportsAlcohol.com

In a follow-up to our recent Oscar special, the SportsAlcohol.com continues their discussion of the 96th Academy Award nominations, covering categories outside the big eight, which means nerdy discussion of music, animation, international features, cinematography, editing, and more!

The 2023-24 Oscar season has finally heading for the end, and the SportsAlcohol.com team has assembled to talk about our PREFERENCES, our PREDICTIONS, and our most treasured SNUBS in the top eight major categories! Place your bets, protect your faves, and listen up as we get our last build-ups and teardowns in on the films of 2023!

We may be arriving a little late with our discussion of the 15 best movies of 2023, but we still beat the Oscars to air! In a long and enthusiastic discussion of our collective favorites, your pals at SportsAlcohol.com take turns waxing rhapsodic over an eclectic group of 2023 movies that we loved, including major auteurs, exciting debuts, special-effects blockbusters, and small-scale indies. It's one of our biggest episodes ever and full of great streaming suggestions!

After a three-year hiatus to get our heads right, the SportsAlcohol.com pop-music contingent is back to talk about new discoveries, legacy acts, favorite albums, and more as we go through 2023 in music, featuring Boygenius, Olivia Rodrigo, Caroline Polachek, The National, Belle & Sebastian, and... Joe Jackson?! Join Rob, Sara, Marisa, Jesse, and Jeremy as we try to make sense of our fractured and internet-addled music landscape!

Leapin' lizards! Everyone knows Godzilla is the King of All Monsters, but what this episode pre-supposes is... maybe he's also the King of All Media? With a new Toho Godzilla film in theaters, an American Godzilla movie coming in a few months, a Godzilla-related TV series streaming on Apple, and the big guy fighting the Justice League in the pages of DC Comics, Godzilla fans are, as they say, eating. After seeing Godzilla Minus One twice each, Jesse and lifelong Godzilla fan/expert Nathaniel sat down to talk about the overall state of the monster. 

Happy Labor day from your pals at SportsAlcohol.com! We got you a podcast episode! Earlier this summer, Ben convened a small panel of labor experts (by which we mean Marisa, Jeremy, and Jesse) to talk about the bumper crop of movies about companies making products. Air, Blackberry, Flamin' Hot, and Tetris all came out within months of each other -- what gives? In this episode, led by a bona fide MBA, we talk about each movie, which ones (if any) appealed to us and why, and the greater meaning of this trend. (We recorded this episode before The Beanie Bubble dropped but you know what? It's barely worth discussing anyway!) Please, spend your hard-earned Labor Day (or months after Labor Day) with us!
