Oscar Buzzkills

We Have Risen! The 2024 Oscars Breakdown (Finally)

Mari and Jeff return to the airwaves and into your ears for another special Oscar Buzzkills episode breaking down the 2024 Academy Awards (better late then never!)! They discuss the best moments, worst moments, iconic moments (*cough I'm Just Ken cough*) and why we need to honor acting legends in a different way than giving them the Best Picture envelope. It's officially the end of the 2023-24 Oscar season, who's ready for the next one??

The Special Episode: Best of 2023

Mari and Jeff are BACK IN YOUR EARS for a special episode recapping their favorite films of 2023 and their Oscar Best Picture predictions for 2024!

The Best Of The Rest 2023

On the final episode of Oscar Buzzkills' 4th season, Mari and Jeff break down the Best of the Rest - all of the awards season films that didn't get their own episodes plus a few other favorites. They also discuss Scream VI, Daisy Jones and the Six, Outlast, Yellowjackets, and the final season of Succession (aka the most important thing going on in Mari's life). AND Mari and Jeff discuss the summer films they are most excited for in the coming months! What a season it's been, for film and for the pod! HAGS! HAKAS!

The 2023 Oscars BOOMED Us

It's the episode to end all other episodes! The big kahuna! The titular role! The moment you've all been waiting for! This week, Mari and Jeff break down the 2023 Academy Awards - the ceremony, the winners, the losers, and everything (everywhere all at once) in between. The Oscar record breakers, the snubs, the tight closeup on Laga Gaga; they cover it ALL and you don't want to miss it! (NOTE: we mention RRR as a Bollywood production, but this is not the case. It is a Teluga film. We apologize for the mistake!)

Eat My SHORTS

We are DAYS away from the 2023 Oscars - can you feel it in the air?! This week, Mari and Jeff break down the 2023 SAG Awards and why it was a fantastic broadcast, plus the masterpiece that is Cocaine Bear, a book on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the show's legacy ("We love a book."), and how in the hell Mari is JUST NOW discovering the film They Came Together. They also break down all the 2023 Best Live Action Short and Best Animated Short nominees, where you can watch them, and who they want to win in these small but mighty categories.
