Description
In episode 23, Johnny talks to returning My Movie DNA alumnus Daíbhid MacCann.  In what is becoming an annual tradition, this episode is Johnny and Daíbhid's round-up of the Academy Awards nominees for films released in 2023. They go through the major categories to declare what they think will win, but also what they think should win, on the night. Their talk covers boogying out of a window to 50 Cent’s P.I.M.P., blowing Einstein’s hat off his head, and they discuss what might have won this year’s Academy Award for Best Ensemble Thirst Trap.  This conversation was recorded online at the beginning of March 2024. Thanks to James Van As who wrote and performed the brilliant podcast music (check out James' ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loco Looper⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ game) and to Willow Van As who designed the amazing artwork and provided general podcast support.   You can contact My Movie DNA on Twitter/X @mymovieDNA or email [email protected].
