We dive into two major 2025 Oscar contenders: A24’s Anora and Searchlight’s A Real Pain. We review each title and break down key moments of the films. Fair warning: our Anora conversation has a few spoilers, but we give you fair warning before ruining a few key moments of the film. Then, our A Real Pain conversation leads us to a discussion of the fifth Best Actor slot and whether or not Jesse Eisneberg has a shot for his great performance. We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week. We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
