Whether it’s an influencer interviewing Julia Fox without having watched her movie, or Academy voters who aren’t required to see the films they vote for, the episode is a running commentary on who gets to talk, and what they should know before they do.
The Oscars: Wins, Snubs, and the In Memoriam Problem
The hosts recap the 2024 Academy Awards with a mix of genuine joy and sharp critique. Sochi correctly predicted Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplays, and Best Actor, which she calls “being a witch.” She was most emotional about the Best Actor win for Adrien Brody, whose genuine surprise and humble reaction reminded her of watching him on All My Children with her grandmother. Heather was thrilled that horror finally got its due, specifically calling out the industry’s history of snubbing Toni Collette for Hereditary and Lupita Nyong’o for Us.

Show Notes
We are breaking down the Oscars: the wins we cried over, the snubs that still sting, the performance that needs to go straight to Broadway, and a gentle reminder that the venue is literally a mall. Then MomTok imploded (again) — Taylor Frankie Paul is heading to The Bachelorette with a situation that would get anyone else called out, and Love Island's Huda is back for all the wrong reasons. We also fell into Age of Attraction on Netflix, which turned into a full dating discourse about age gaps, the rule of sevens, and why not knowing a Fat Joe and Ashanti song is a dealbreaker.
