The Awards Tape: Horror at the Oscars & Inde Navarrette Awards Consideration for Obsession

Consider this a first for The Awards Tape as we decided to backtrack and provide an update on a little movie you may have heard of called Obsession. Yes, the $750,000 micro-budgeted horror film has taken over the box office as after three weeks in wide release, it's accumulated over $170 million worldwide, becoming the first film from Focus Features to cross $100 million in the North American box office. It's the first film since E.T. to see its box office increase in its second and third consecutive weekends, even facing stiff competition from horror-adjacent films like Backrooms and blockbusters like The Mandalorian and Grogu. It currently sits at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, 77% on Metacritic, and 4.2 on Letterboxd. Obsession has made Curry Barker the most in-demand director in Hollywood and has launched the stardom of Inde Navarette who is at the center of the conversation of whether the film is in serious position to reap awards glory.  So today we are asking, how can Obsession accomplish that? What are the most direct comparisons when it comes to horror films and the Oscars? And what is the history when it comes to the Academy Awards and the horror genre?  We are joined by guest and horror/awards season YouTuber Savanna Dawn [https://www.youtube.com/@savannadawnyt] to break it all down!

The Rolling Remote: Euphoria Season 3 Finale, Series Takeaways & MVP's/LVP's

Today we are officially closing the book on one of the biggest, most talked about, and complicated television shows of the last decade, HBO's Euphoria. Over the last few months, we've gone all the way back to Season One, revisited Season Two, and finally caught up with the third and final season of the series. Created by Sam Levinson and starring Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, Colman Domingo, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow, Euphoria started in 2019 as a coming-of-age drama about addiction, identity and friendship, and growing up in an increasingly overwhelming digital world.  Six years later, after delays and controversy, cast changes, and just about anything you can expect from a television show, Season Three returned with a completely different version of the show. A five-year time jump, characters way out of high school, a bigger focus on crime and on faith, the consequences of their previous actions and adulthood. It has a new visual language, a new musical direction, and ultimately an ending that people are going to be talking about for a very long time.  Today we break down the final episodes of Season Three, where we leave Rue, Jules, Cassie, Maddie, Lexi, Nate, and everybody else, and finally answering the the big question that we've been trying to get to during all of this: did Euphoria stick the landing?  On this episode: Jake Fittipaldi [https://therollingtape.com/jake-fittipaldi/] Danny Jarabek [https://therollingtape.com/danny-jarabek/] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/therollingtape] Subscribe for Early Access and Video: The Rolling Tape Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/therollingtape] Listen Here: Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/0PQMLl7VaSKWFvMTqpYXhi?si=d000de8a9ad140d7] Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rolling-tape/id1642316834] All Listening Platforms [https://therollingtape.buzzsprout.com/] Have questions?

By the power of Grayskull, I unite fans of sword and sorcery, 1980s nostalgia, and homoerotic relationships between hero and villain because today we are discussing Masters of the Universe based on the media franchise by Mattel and the second live-action film adaptation after the 1987 film.  A new live-action film was announced in 2009 by Sony Pictures Entertainment. Following multiple writer, director and casting changes, the rights were transferred to Netflix in 2022 and then bought by Amazon MGM Studios in 2024 who delivered the film to theaters this weekend with director Travis Knight.  We’ll review the film and talk about Gen X nostalgia as it relates to box office success today.  Masters of the Universe, the franchise turned feature film, is directed by Travis Knight and written by Chris Butler, Aaron Nee, Adam Nee, and David Callaham. Nicholas Galitzine stars as Prince Adam / He-Man, alongside Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Alison Brie, James Purefoy, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Charlotte Riley, Kristen Wiig, Morena Baccarin, and Idris Elba.
