Oscar Wild

With March's Oscar ceremony in Bob Ferguson's rearview, it's time for Nick and Sophia to begin predicting the nominees for next year's Oscars! In their annual summer tradition, they share their predictions in all four acting categories, Director, and Picture. They also don't miss the opportunity to advocate for some of their favorite performances, share what they're excited to see, and wonder why they've seen a certain movie trailer so many times. Comment with your own predictions and let us know if you agree with our early hot takes!

The May box office is thriving ahead of a summer filled with exciting blockbusters, having surpassed $1 billion for the first time since 2019. Sophia and Nick will definitely be reviewing those upcoming films in the following months, but on this episode, they’re taking it back to all of the new films they haven’t yet discussed this year. Blame a long Oscar season or a rich Cannes festival, but they’re back with an OW favorite, Nom or Bomb, to recap 30 films that have captured audiences so far in 2026. Which movies will they continue to talk about later this year and into 2027? Listen to find out!

Content de te revoir or Welcome back to an extended discussion of the 79th Cannes Film Festival! Nick and Sophia continue chatting about their experiences abroad including awarding many fun listener-submitted superlatives to films they both liked and loathed. They still mention In Competition films like they did on last week’s recap, but they also shout out other unique selections from Un Certain Regard, Critics’ Week, Directors’ Fortnight, and Out of Competition Midnight films. Enjoy as they bid adieu to Cannes…for now!

Sophia and Nick have so much to share about their experience at the Cannes Film Festival that, in this first recap episode, they mostly stick to reactions to the award winners, especially the Palme d’Or-winning Fjord by Cristian Mungiu. Some of their favorite films won some of these big prizes, but listen to hear them break down more about why the jury awarded these and how the 2027 award race could shake out. Will NEON, A24, and Netflix be duking it out once again? They share all of this and more! Stay tuned for fun festival superlatives next week!
