FINALE: The 95th Annual Academy Awards

“I only talk about peace.”

CONTENT WARNING: Will Smith slap, misogyny.

Our show wraps up season 6 with a quick recap of the 95th Academy Awards, in which Jimmy Kimmel only tiptoed over the line a few times and someone in a bear costume tripped Elizabeth Banks and accosted Malala Yousafzai. That was the wildest (and funniest moment) of the night in a still enjoyable Oscars - fun bits, good presentations, and lovely speeches. But the big winner of the night are those weirdos who made the weirdest and most beautiful movie of the year, Everything Everywhere All at Once. We can’t help but be overjoyed at the result, considering we’ve been hailing the movie as our favorite for a whole calendar year. And while the Academy still needs to nominate some women in directing categories and re-examine their actor nominees, overall, it’s been a pretty great year for movies, and for new voices. Grab some popcorn or your favorite hangover cure as we talk about this year’s Oscars on the season finale of Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
