Episode 209: C.H.U.D. (1984)

This isn’t a whodunit whatsoever. Go into the film knowing that and you’ll walk out enjoying it. Mostly a French speaking film, it’s a truly well made and acted film. Even the dog should get an Oscar nom.

Martin Scorsese is a master filmmaker, no doubt about that. This film is extremely well made. While we did like it, does it really need to be three and a half hours?

Will Paul Giamatti win best actor for this role? Joey thinks so. The film itself is also very good.

American Fiction is the type of film that delivers drama and funny throughout. Best Picture? Probably not but very good otherwise.

Bradley cooper acts and directs this biopic about Leonard Bernstein. Very well made and quite good. Listen in as we talk about it.

Awkward silence and staring happen quite often in this film. Just watch the trailer and prepare yourself.

The second film we review is Barbie. While Joey enjoyed the movie he doesn't feel it's best picture material whereas Scott loved it and hopes it wins.

The first film we review is Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. What Joey believes will be this year's winner for Best Picture. Scott, not so much.

We talk about all the Oscar nominated films for 2023. What will win, what will not. Who's right?

What is likely the final installment with Harrison Ford, this is a very good movie. The first 25 minutes being an old school Jones movie was excellent. Everything it needed to be.
