The Oscars Show: The 98th Annual Academy Awards

The Oscars Show: The 98th Annual Academy Awards

The show, the awards, the brooches, the Babs -- we've got it all covered on our season finale episode about the 98th Annual Academy Awards.

Sinners (and Why It's Best Picture)

Ten nominees, two contenders: will Best Picture go to One Battle or Sinners in five short days? Mia and Joe revisit one of their favorite films of 2025, and make a case for why it is Best. From the idea, to the cast, to the music and more, we're headed to the Mississippi delta in 1932 to explore and celebrate Ryan Coogler's historical epic.

Oscar Nominated Film Scores

It's time for tunes on this special episode, where Joe and Mia break down the five scores nominated for Academy Awards on March 15: Bugonia, Frankenstein, Hamnet, One Battle After Another and Sinners. We're talking composers, leitmotifs and what makes a Best Score on Do You See What I Mean.

Nominated & Notable Films of Now

Kate Hudson — really? (Yes.) What about Ethan Hawke? (Absolutely.) How about the other Safdie brother’s film? (Definitely.) Every year is a great year for film if you know where to look, and fortunately, the Academy has expanded its sights to include a wider variety of films as the years go on. In the latest episode of Do You See What I Mean, we cover notable films that didn’t get their own episodes from the 2026 Oscar nominations list: * Marty Supreme * The Secret Agent * No Other Choice * Blue Moon * Song Sung Blue * Sirat * The Smashing Machine * Dead Man’s Wire

"Wuthering Heights": We Were Promised Moor than We Got

Cathy's here, and Heathcliff too -- but that’s nearly we get from Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel in the latest of a long line of adaptations and interpretations, this one from director Emerald Fennell. In place of the full story, we do get eggs, synth pop and swoony lighting. In the latest episode of Fo You See What I Mean, Mia and Joe explore why Fennell made the choices she did, who this version is for, and why the amount of sultry steam we were promised in the trailers — ended up being conspicuously small.
