145. Grab Bag: Oscar Noms, Andrea Riseborough Controversy, Armie Hammer, Quentin Tarantino and More!

Hey, where you been? I guess it's me, not you...where have I been? Sitting through Avatar! THREE HOURS AND TWELVE MINUTES! Feel my pain. In this catch-up episode we'll talk Oscar noms and snubs, Best Picture thoughts on 'Tar', 'The Fablemans', 'Top Gun: Maverick', 'Everything Everywhere All At Once', 'All Quiet on the Western Front', and 'Triangle of Sadness'.

Plus a speculation on why 'She Said', a film made by women and containing several Oscar-worthy turns, was snubbed by an Academy voter contingent that went out of its way to nominate the safer, less potentially awkward winning moment represented by 'To Leslie'.

Also: post-rehab celebrity apologies, some great film books I've read recently, some series recommendations and MORE!
