The 97th Annual Academy Awards hosted by Conan O’Brien has come and gone and the two pals discuss the winners and spectacle of this year’s live event. Plus, the two Canadian film geeks review director Osgood Perkins recent horror comedy film, The Monkey (2025); in addition to discussing Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers (2024), Edward Berger’s Conclave (2024), and Fede Alvarez’s Alien Romulus (2024). Additionally, Adrian is excited to talk about Marvel’s Daredevil Born Again and his recent watch of the hit 1995 comedy Clueless starring Alicia Silverstone. Due to a recent spat of DC Cinematic Universe news from James Gunn and Peter Safran, our fearless hosts also spend some time correcting the record by diving back into the many upcoming DC projects arriving within the next few years. Moreover, discussions are had about Star Wars steward Kathleen Kennedy’s retirement, the current state of airlines in 2025, the lack of nuance online with regard to video game Dragon Age The Veilguard, and the awkwardness of singing on stage during an awards show acceptance speech.
