Even the most popular films that contend for Best Picture usually inspire at least some level of backlash, but 'Parasite' never did; that is, until it actually won...
'Parasite' was the big winner at this year's Oscars, and Bong Joon-ho's success could (and should) open doors for other traditionally overlooked filmmakers.
Widely regarded as a nearly flawless film, 'Parasite' (2019) by South Korean director Bong Joon-ho has become an international cinematic sensation, but it wasn't an easy road for Bong Joon-ho to get here.
Stephen King, who nominates in 3 Oscar categories, faced backlash for considering only quality, not diversity. Apparently, the two are not separate things.
As the Oscar season approaches, one argument we're hearing more and more often is that this or that actor, director, or movie is obviously "thirsty" for an Oscar, and that such a thing is worthy of mockery.
In our first show of the new decade we discuss the tragic passing of Kobe, the growing debate about Oprah, the Supreme x Tupac controversy, Big Sean finally addressing Kendrick Lamar, and our thoughts about the Grammys and Oscars.
By any objective measure, Greta Gerwig's adaptation of 'Little Women' has been a huge success. However, ever since its release on Christmas, it's been seemingly endlessly mired in controversy, in a way that's not in any way deserved.
What better way to cap off the most eventful time of the year in the entertainment capital of the world than to get a front row seat to a discussion with Martin Scorsese, Noah Baumbach, Greta Gerwig, Lulu Wang, Todd Phillips, and Fernando Meirelles.
The 2020 Oscar nominations are in, and not everyone is thrilled by the results; personally, I was surprised by how much they got right but it's certainly not a flawless list.
