On today's episode, Bob and Matt continue their exploration of the 555 Oscar-nominated pictures with 2017's "Darkest Hour." Did Gary Oldman deserve to take home the award for Best Actor? Do historical inaccuracies undercut the power of a true story? Does a movie need to have strong writing to be considered for Best Picture? How did the cinematography provide insight into the characters and compliment the production design? Plus, Bob tells us all about his Slime Bonus and Matt wonders if his friend Jared really wanted to see the Spongebob Squarepants movie with him in 8th grade.
E1: "The Shape of Water" (2017)
The series premiere of Bob and Matt's new show, which explores a new Oscar-Nominated movie each week (at random!). This week we dive into "The Shape of Water." Did Eliza fantasize about fish before meeting Amphibian Man? Which actor got snubbed at the Oscars? Will the running shower in the background of Matt’s audio get the podcast cancelled after just one show? We pitch ideas for Shape of Water 2 and how Del Toro could have made an extra couple hundred million bucks by simply adding The Rock. All that and more!
