About the episode

Sean is joined by Ringer-Verse host Joanna Robinson and The Ankler‘s awards editor Katey Rich to discuss the state of the Best Picture race. Amid this conversation, they go through the 10 films they think are running hottest to be nominated for the top award at the Oscars and compare their list to the last time Sean did said exercise (1:00). Then, they zero in on one of those front-runners, Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez, a challenging swing of a film that’s received mixed reviews from critics and Letterboxd users alike since hitting the Netflix service (1:10:00).
