MOVIE CLUB: OSCAR EDITION 2025
Added 2025-02-08 00:54:16 +0000 UTCOkay, so we have Academy Awards episodes of Movie Club on the way... We're already covering CONCLAVE and THE SUBSTANCE. But what other ones would you want us to tackle?

It would be interesting hearing your thoughts on Emelia Perez. I'm trans and know all about how it absolutely fucking sucks from that angle, but I wonder if the boys being so close to Mexico would give them some insight into how bad it sucks from that angle too

2025-02-12 12:27:33 +0000 UTCEmilia Perez should have been nominated for a razzi. It's worse than Joker 2 and Madam Web.

2025-02-10 14:34:04 +0000 UTCActually Colman Domingo is up for best actor at least, I kinda think he should win too

2025-02-09 22:16:40 +0000 UTCSing Sing was one of my favorites this year, I was disappointed it's not nominated for anything but that's the Oscars for ya.

2025-02-09 18:57:45 +0000 UTCI would wholeheartedly agree with the people voting for Anora but the sex scenes might be too much for Shawn.

2025-02-08 18:54:15 +0000 UTCrocco already discussed it multiple times on the podcast already

2025-02-08 17:49:22 +0000 UTCi wish theyd talk about nickel boys :(
hankey65
2025-02-08 17:49:04 +0000 UTCand rocco literally talked about it numerous times on the podcast already 🤦♀️

2025-02-08 17:48:09 +0000 UTCEmilia Perez - I want to know how shitty it is. Dune 2? Like for real?
Mettakite
2025-02-08 16:08:12 +0000 UTCAs Theatre actors yourselves, I think you might really enjoy Sing Sing and get a lot out of it. Many of the actors are actual former RTA members. I found it really powerful.
Ellipsoidz
2025-02-08 15:29:55 +0000 UTCDune 2 will get the same reactions they gave for Dune 1, give that vote to something else.
Andrew Suazo
2025-02-08 09:57:37 +0000 UTCIts not going to win, but Nickel Boys was extremely good
Will Shute
2025-02-08 07:53:03 +0000 UTCCan’t wait for the substance episode to drop. Genuinely my fave.
Michael
2025-02-08 04:47:40 +0000 UTCDune 2? I haven't seen it myself, but it is apparently the best movie ever, akin to comparing Terminator 2 to 1.
Heathcliff
2025-02-08 04:29:28 +0000 UTCBrutalist is incredible and would not be surprised if it wins best picture. Regardless of movie club, definitely watch it!!
Samuel Dunn
2025-02-08 04:09:48 +0000 UTCIf you watch Emilia Perez, please check all the controversy (so far) involving the director and the main actress, most of all in Mexico.
Adrián Ramos
2025-02-08 03:42:22 +0000 UTCI need them to watch it for me and give me their opinion that I will associate with... Because I don't want to watch it lol. But I DO want to have an opinion on it 💀
addMitt
2025-02-08 02:56:56 +0000 UTCI understand wanting to see them dunk on it, I just personally think it’d be a bit much especially after they just covered Joker 2. It’s truly insufferable, I’m so tired of thinking about Emilia Perez
Noah Teuber
2025-02-08 02:53:48 +0000 UTCIt even has funny songs! Man to woman or woman to man?
Danila Malyutin
2025-02-08 02:37:30 +0000 UTCThis is why we want them to cover it
John
2025-02-08 02:30:47 +0000 UTCI second Nickel Boys, I think if more people saw it would be voted for more. It’s brilliantly made and would bring lots of great discussion.
Noah Teuber
2025-02-08 02:20:31 +0000 UTCI’m begging you please don’t do Emilia Perez. It’s Joker 2 level bad
Noah Teuber
2025-02-08 02:15:48 +0000 UTCallow multiselections! i hope yall pick more than three watches. everyone has talked about emilia perez, do anora and brutalist... interesting good shit. conclave sucks and is boring. plus, i love the substance but rocco already talked about it multiple times - same with dune 2 :/// anora and brutalist havent been discussed or watched by you two and would have incredible discussions. sames with nickelboys and im stil here :'(
hankey65
2025-02-08 02:04:17 +0000 UTCIt’s a crime that Anora is losing
Andrew Evans
2025-02-08 01:52:40 +0000 UTCThe brutalist is a great movie its long but i think its actually interesting tho you would appreciate it way more in imax. The shots are so good.
Theo
2025-02-08 01:46:28 +0000 UTCA Complete Unknown just because it's actually a decent movie that I haven't really heard people discuss outside of the marketing.
Grant Scullion
2025-02-08 01:35:51 +0000 UTCYou need to see the “from penis to vaginaaaaaaaa” movie
armed and nervous
2025-02-08 01:34:02 +0000 UTCI'm so sick of hearing about Emilia Perez at this point.
Nezumi
2025-02-08 01:29:27 +0000 UTCWhy don’t you guys do a Discord Oscar Movie watch along?
Jake Songstad
2025-02-08 01:24:25 +0000 UTCWatch Emilia Perez so I don't have to
Nico C
2025-02-08 01:22:14 +0000 UTCAnora is just a great movie and not Oscar bait so that's my vote.
Yves McCrae
2025-02-08 01:18:59 +0000 UTCAnora is legitimately one of the funniest movies of the year, I think they'd love it. Rocco and Shawn, if you it doesn't win (doesn't look like it's going to) WATCH ANORA
Nathan Hanna
2025-02-08 01:08:53 +0000 UTCI'd rather not see them watch Emilia Perez just to hate it like everyone else. It'll be a waste of everyone's time. Nickel Boys and Anora are legitimately great and worth analyzing and exposing to a wider audience.
Jared Silva
2025-02-08 00:59:53 +0000 UTCAnora and Emilia Perez are my votes
Jason Cryer
2025-02-08 00:59:28 +0000 UTCBrutalist but I already know it would be a waste of time for Shawn
Kino Kowboy
2025-02-08 00:58:01 +0000 UTCI think Anora would be the most fruitful and interesting discussion, but Emilia Perez would be the most entertaining 😂
Mason Maki
2025-02-08 00:57:38 +0000 UTCalso (especially if you can catch it in 70mm) the brutalist is worth checking out from a filmmaking perspective. It’s long, but it has a 15 minute intermission with an onscreen timer! So it’s actually more manageable than one might think as well (and now I want every long movie to have an intermission)
Austin Ryder
2025-02-08 00:56:57 +0000 UTCDune 2, make sure to watch it on an airplane
Kenneth Forman
2025-02-08 00:56:31 +0000 UTCNeed that "Penis to vaginaaaaa" intro from Rocco on Emilia Perez
Blake R.
2025-02-08 00:56:22 +0000 UTCAlso, sidenote: We'd already seen DUNE and WICKED so we'd rather watch other stuff we haven't seen if possible. But if the results are resounding we can always evaluate the situation.
Mega64
2025-02-08 00:55:58 +0000 UTChave seen all of these but emilia perez and Nickel Boys is one of the most stunning movies i have ever seen Period!! EASY winner for me out of the group and would love yall to see it too
Vin
2025-02-08 00:55:58 +0000 UTCI'm so disappointed to see Anora at 8% - by far the best movie from last year!! Let's pump up those numbers
PinkieOats
2025-02-08 00:55:44 +0000 UTCAnora is way funnier than you would think it would be! That gets my vote
Austin Ryder
2025-02-08 00:55:39 +0000 UTCNickel Boys and Anora were my favorite as actual movies but Emilia Perez would be the funniest
