Graham Moore is a name you may remember from 2014 when he won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for "The Imitation Game." Now, he's back, and this time he's writing and stepping behind the camera for the first time with his directorial debut "The Outfit," starring Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, Johnny Flynn, Dylan O'Brien, Nikki Amuka-Bird & Simon Russell Beale. A sophisticated single location crime thriller with more than enough twists to fill ten movies, the film opens in theaters from Focus Features this weekend. Graham was kind enough to spend some time talking with me about the screenplay, the twists and turns it takes, working with Mark Rylance, and more. Click below to take a listen and enjoy!

T2 Trainspotting, Top 3 Danny Boyle Scenes, Umberto D. - Episode 216

Fill up the balloons, strap in and be sure to bring along some chocolate, because OscarWatch is moving on 'Up' with the 2009 Best Animated - SQUIRREL! Feature. Matt and Steve waste no time in getting to the heartwrenching moments that have defined the film and reveal that at the end of the day, they're a couple of softies. But, not to bring the mood down, we talk MVP of the show Dug and long for a world where his optimism and joy were more prevalent. Finally, Matt throws down a bold and perhaps controversial statement about this year's actual Best Picture winner. Did it deserve it? Find out!

All that and a brief primer on what makes a great villain.,

Stephen Buja's Album

Up (2009)

This week, we ride to Valhalla, shiny and chrome, alongside guest host Matthew Krol of The Only Podcast About Movies in a new segment we're calling 'For Your Reconsideration'. Fury Road did not win Best Picture, but our hosts have some thoughts on that accounting error and make a strong case that of all the films released in 2015, George Miller's action opus is the best of the bunch. Exquisite action, high octane stunts, a shockingly deep and feminist story and some of the best music of the last decade: Fury Road has all of this and more.

Witness us!

Next week, we look closer.

Mad Max Fury Road (2015)

We add three more films to the roster here at OscarWatch: The Shape of Water, A Fantastic Woman and Coco. In this special, no muss, no fuss edition of the podcast, Amy and Steve recap the 90th Annual Academy Awards, a show that was long in time and had many things a long time coming. The big winner was del Toro, but there were so many things to be happy for; and even better, so few things to be mad about! So, be sure to Get Out and read it all in The Post, and don't forget to Call Me By Your Name (hint, it is I, Tonya) and this may seem like the Darkest Hour, but i assure you that the Shape of Water is not, in fact, a Phantom Thread. All that, montages, Kimmel, the best speeches, the most memorable moments. Hollywood knows how to party and there is no bigger or brighter hootenanny than the one, the only...

The Oscars.

Listen in, and we return to our regularly scheduled program soon.

The 90th Academy Awards Recap

For Episode 90, (We're now the same age as Oscar!!) myself, Will Mavity, Josh Parham and Danilo Castro discuss our favorite movies and memories pertaining to Mother's Day, discuss the polls related to "Deadpool 2," what's going on at Cannes, answer your fan questions, and give our thoughts on the trailers for "Searching" and "The Predator."
