My four-year-old is obsessed with "Ease on Down the Road." So I'm excited for everyone to hear me and @imhoreviews.bsky.social talk THE WIZ in a couple of weeks. But first, strap in for this week's chat on the most (only?) obscure Oz film we're covering on Close Watch.

I had a lot to say about #OneBattleAfterAnother, and I honestly have more if anyone wants me on their podcast. But here's a small taste:

Now listening to my best friend @imhoreviews.bsky.social chat with my 2nd best friend Jason of @bingemovies.bsky.social about the #5-#1 box office earners of 2008, and already Jason's got things off to a good start by asking why MAMMA MIA is based on a Greek island instead of an Italian one.

I spent the majority of this year not watching trailers and I gotta say... easily one of the dumbest decisions I've made. A trailers job isn't just to get you excited about a movie, it's so you know that movie even exists. Without them, I was left in the dark this whole year. Not doing that again.

I haven't seen many movies this year, but the fact that Emilia Perez seems to be a serious awards contender tells me this was a very bad year for films.
Guess I'll check out this Emilia Perez I've heard so much about.

I still don't understand why there was so much backlash to John Kranzinski being named Sexiest Man Alive. It's not like he's unattractive.
Personally, I think Michael B. Jordan should win that award until he dies, but that's just me.

I am so behind on movies this year that I would have to watch a movie every day from now until March to catch up.
It'll be late February, and I'll come on here like, "Yo, guys, Twisters was really dope."

The #Oscars were a lot more fun to watch when I only saw 10 movies a year.
The years I've gone over 100, it just proves the Academy is really bad at this, and probably shouldn't be the ones handing out awards.

#Anora absolutely shattered me. Sean Baker has to be the balls-iest, most fearless filmmaker working today. His ability to showcase humanity in some of its ugliest forms is masterful work. Mikey Madison, the queen that you are. A devastating breakthrough performance that will live in my mind forever
