The guys discuss the addition of international films into ‘Best Picture’, endings without an answer, an instrumental of 50 Cents P.I.M.P., their favorite of the nominated movies, Barbie controversies, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ in the ‘Brendan Fraser Movie Review’, Nick’s predictions for who will win, when award shows want one show/movie to win everything, and their worst movies of 2023.

One of Amazon’s best podcasts of 2023 is back with Chubstep hosts Jrad and Steed. Steed drills Jrad looking for soundbites on how he would fix a series of political problems, the results of the dictator hat poll, ‘Beavers’ in ‘Chubsitroy’ including their uses, human deaths in the fur trade, and the cultural appropriator that might have saved the population. The guys continue with a ‘Tanzania News’ about a corrupt politician and how “goons” left a man macheted to death, and Jrad’s solution to the graffiti problem.

Steed and Jrad and together at last to talk about about a statue of Julius Nyerere that people are complaining doesn't look enough like him in ‘Tanzania News’, the worst statues of all time, the discovery of port wine, why the deerstalker hat might be the best hat for a dictator, Steed’s controversial entry into a chili contest, screen blue light in ‘Steed Science’, how Steed monitors a local daycare, the strangeness behind man camps, and a crazy honking car outside of Jrad’s window.

In this Harry Potter themed episode Steed and Jrad are joined by Potterhead, Chubstep Jack, for a future award winning segment ‘Harry PlotHoles’. The guys discuss Steed and Jack’s history with Harry Potter before getting to plot holes within the series like why the Marauders Map doesn’t discover Peter Pettigrew, Yule vs Christmas, the incorrect order of Voldemort's spells, not thinking of creating animals for food, not using the two-way mirror, and a series of poor writing choices including the scoring of quidditch and much more. If you enjoy Harry Potter this is the episode for you, if not, please download, press play, and put it on mute.

Steed and Jrad are joined by star of the hit television series ‘The Curse’, Zach “Triple Threat” Enriquez on this week’s Chubstep. Steed and Jrad start with Jrad’s only descriptor being height on his IMDB page, the history of Steed’s current apartment building, the best place for single guys to pick up women, and how every movie/television character's job is a writer. Zach joins and the guys discuss how he got the role on ‘The Curse’, going from firefighter to actor, working with Bennie Safdie, attempting to run lines with Emma Stone, improving on set, having to avert his daughter’s eyes when watching his episode the first time, and Nathan Fielder antics before filming.

Steed and Jrad are taking you on a Chubstep journey in this week’s episode with an alternate reality that Jrads mom was living in by watching an NFL game that was a month old but thinking it was current, a series of Taylor Swift conspiracies including her only carrying empty bags and having no belly button, the Chubby awards for achievements in podcasting, a ‘Chubistory’ of the extreme dangers of race car driving and spectating in the 1950’s, and what countries would team up in WWIII.
