It's Oscars week! Not only do we finish up our run of Best Picture nominees with Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog, we give our rundown of the ten (10!) nominees and the order we think they deserve the big prize. It's the ONLY Oscars rating you need!
Because we also cover the news, this episode is not free of negativity. We go deep into the attacks on LGBTQ children throughout the country, focusing specifically on the states of Texas and Florida. First, we find out what is really in the notorious "Don't Say Gay" bill, then we look at the kinds of executive actions Texas governor Greg Abbott is using to threaten children and parents alike. It's not great!
