Congrats to 'One Battle After Another', PTA and all the winners ('Sinners' probably deserved a better fate, but respect to MBJ for his ascension)! Plus, I still can't believe the bit about making Leo into a meme actually made another meme. Join us for the full deep dive!

Bonus Episode - #Oscars 2026 Recap #Podcast

Matt and Julian are back to unpack the results from last Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony. While the show itself had few surprises (there was a tie though so that's something!), between Conan's bits, the winners, and the losers, there is plenty to discuss

Pretty by the numbers #Oscars imo. No real upsets. Big wins for great movies. The tie was a cool twist. Conan was funny. No real controversy. I’m pleased.

The continued absence of upsets is surprising at this point. Still time. #Oscars

Incredibly rude to not give people some more time to wrap it up.

Best original song should have been another tie w/ Sinners. #Oscars

With the exception of the obvious tie, I don’t think there’s been a single upset tonight. Including F1s sound win. Is that normal? #Osxars

The continued cheers for docs is very fun #Oscars

Avatar continuing to win the most enduring #Oscars

Frankenstein winning all the awards you’d expect to win. Well earned regardless. #Oscars

A Star Wars promo with Baby Yoda that is unfortunately not landing at all. Nice try ABC I suppose. #Oscars

God damn the in memoriam gets me so hard every time. Incredibly touching this year. #Oscars

Bully Crystal is unbeatable. I’ll always cry watching someone speak eloquently about their late friends. #Oscars

Incredible message and sentiment from PTA for his first win #Oscars

Hey Tarantino isn’t it crazy how PTA just keeps making movies??? #Oscars

Iron-Man and Cap doing an Avengers bit eh? Meh #Oscars

It kinda sucks when the actor isn’t there. Could be for any reason but it still kinda sucks. Penn was the front runner here and deserves the win though. Unreal performance imo. #Oscars

Conan’s face when that mic goes down. Incredible live TV. #Oscars

Kumail tap dancing really well. Nicely done. #Oscars

A tie? Is that legal? #Oscars

The presenters have all been really on point. The show has really tightened up over the recent years. #Oscars

Her career needs it obviously

Bringing up the actors for casting is smart. #Oscars

Sinners deserve to win just for that incredible live performance. #Oscars

Would really like it if it was easier to find and watch these shorts before the #Oscars

A win for k-pop feels like a pretty obvious win but it’s important to remember that nothing is obvious with the Academy for whatever reason. #Oscars

The jokes keep landing for me #Oscars

Love the bird feather look tbh #Oscars

This works actually lol
