97th Oscar Predictions + Movie Review: The Brutalist + Trailer Park: The Monkey

Mike and Kelsey go through all of the Oscar nominations. Mike gives his predictions on who will win, surprises, snubs and he officially endorses a film for Best Picture. In the Movie Review, Mike keeps it in the Oscars theme and talks about The Brutalist starring Adrien Brody. Escaping postwar Europe, a visionary architect comes to America to rebuild his life, his career, and his marriage. On his own in a strange new country, he settles in Pennsylvania, where a wealthy and prominent industrialist recognises his talent. Was it worth the 3 and a half hour runtime, does the use of AI hurt its chances to win?, how 35mm made it better and why he ended up loving the 15 minute intermission. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about the horror comedy The Monkey based on the 1980 short story "The Monkey" by Stephen King. After stumbling upon their father's vintage toy monkey in the attic, twin brothers Hal and Bill witness a string of horrifying deaths unfolding around them. New Episodes Every Monday!
