For Episode 434, I am joined by Dan Bayer, Cody Dericks, Tom O'Brien, and Will Mavity to discuss the announcement of the date for the 98th Academy Awards with Conan O'Brien returning to host, the recent Warner Bros. release date changes, Tom Cruise receiving the BFI Fellowship Award, and more. We reveal the winner of last week's poll, asking, "Which 2025 Oscar Contender Are You Most Looking Forward To Seeing?" and pose this week's poll question for the release of "Death Of A Unicorn" asking, "Which Is Your Favorite Movie To Feature A Unicorn?" We also react to the trailers for "Materialists," "Together," "The Ugly Stepsister," "Happy Gilmore 2," answer your fan-submitted questions, and more! Thank you all for listening, supporting, and subscribing. We hope you enjoy this episode, and we will see you all next week.

Episode 434 - Oscars 2026 Date Is Set With Conan O'Brien, "Materialists" & "Together" Trailers

"The Ugly Stepsister" had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival in the midnight section, where it received positive reviews for its style, performances, and body horror retelling of the fairy tale Cinderella from the point of view of Elvira (the ugly stepsister) who competes against her beautiful stepsister in a bloody battle for beauty. Debut filmmaker Emilie Blichfeldt and stars Lea Myren and Thea Sofie Loch Næss were all kind enough to speak with us about their work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters on April 18th from IFC Films. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interview With "The Ugly Stepsister" Director/Writer Emilie Blichfeldt And Stars Lea Myren & Thea Sofie Loch Næss

Im Auftrag, diese Woche die Kinolandschaft nach Filmperlen in all der Ödnis der enttäuschenden Mittelmäßigkeit zu durchforsten, scheinen die Top-Agenten Dennis und Tobit kurz vor der Verzweiflung zu sein! Wes Anderson verfällt einem Muster, animierte Roboter verlieren ihren Charme, russische Klassiker sind okay, The Weeknd bleibt narzisstisch, und selbst die unmögliche Mission scheint mittlerweile ziemlich möglich zu sein. Aber geben sich unsere Agenten damit geschlagen?

217: Symmetrische Agenten-Pizza

Gekühlt wird sowohl zuhause als auch im gängigen Kino: Deswegen empfehlen Dennis und Tobit diese Woche, welche Filme ihr euch am liebsten reinzieht, während wir uns alle vor der Hitze verkriechen. Von neuen Animationsstilen, über Animations-zu-Realfilm-Remakes bis hin zu hektischen Zombie-Apokalypsen, märchenhaftem Body Horror und schulischem Surrealismus ist für jede Seele was dabei!
