About this episode
Elysia keeps trying to make the term "Blockbuster Awards" happen as she and Logan from the Academy of Death Racers talk about nominees like Dune: Part Two , Alien: Romulus , and Nosferatu in the so-called "below the line" (or "tech") awards: Visual Effects, Production Design, Costuming, Make-Up & Hairstyling, Film Editing, and Sound. Then, stick around until the end for an update on the latest precursor awards ceremonies, and how they might change the race.
