IHGB #258: 2022 Oscars 

The 2022 Oscars will forever go down as the day Will Smith non-jokingly slapped Chris Rock in the face on national television. Also, some people won awards and stuff! Todd, Lara, Andrea, and I provide fresh, initial thoughts on our feelings on the smack, the winners, the losers, and the films we will definitely be watching as a result.

EPISODE NOTES:

The following are the 2022 Oscars Best Picture nominations and our opinions on if you should watch:

“Belfast” — No one watched, but Todd and Andrea were interested.

“CODA” *WINNER* — Todd and Andrea agree that this was a worthy choice.

“Don’t Look Up” — Lara and I disliked this movie very much. Andrea ended up falling asleep.

“Drive My Car” — No one watched, but Andrea heard from the one person she knew who had seen this film that it was a bit on the slow side. Apparently, they aren’t driving that car fast.

“Dune” — Todd and Andrea LOVED this film. Both agree that I will probably not like it, but my love for Timothy Chalamet may win over.

“King Richard” — Todd and Lara loved this movie, and Lara and I will also watch it FOR SURE.

“Licorice Pizza” — No one has watched this, nor does anyone understand what it’s about. I should also disclose that no one plans on watching this unless one of you tells us we should.

“Nightmare Alley” — Todd watched it and said we would not like it. But he did have it as an “I’ll allow it” for Best Picture. That says a lot.

“The Power of the Dog” — Andrea watched it and said she would never watch it again. She understands why it was nominated, though.

“West Side Story” — We all watched it and thought it was terrific! Especially the non-depressing parts.

Note: Also on our “to watch” list is: “Encanto” and “Free Guy.”

I loved “Free Guy”! Haven’t seen any nominated films yet so these recommendations really help!

My issue with WS is prior to the slap he was laughing at the joke.
