And The OSCAR Goes To...a LIBERTARIAN critique. | Hn 21

Adam and the Porcupine critique the Best Picture nominees through libertarian-colored glasses. Then they put a twist on March Madness to figure out what will RUIN THE WORLD FIRST. 00:00 – Intro. With hat-tip to The Wizard of Oz. 04:30 – Oppenheimer! Best Picture winner. Adam concurs. Tyrone sez, "More bomb, less babes". Also, Which Christopher Nolan film is the best? 11:11 – Zone of Interest! "Sounds" like a good movie! (see what we did there?) 14:34 – Barbie! Great acting, a fun dance number, and a bunch of sexist schlock. Plus, Tyrone shares more than perhaps he should... 17:57 – Maestro! Magnificent acting done dirty by poor directing. Don't wear both hats, Bradley! 22:47 – Poor Things! A surprisingly good movie, considering, well... ya know... the weird pedo vibe. 29:31 -- American Fiction! Adam's 2nd favorite film of this bunch. Is this year's crop (and who won) a sign that "wokeness" in Hollywood has peaked and is receding? 35:30 -- Anatomy of a Fall! A foreign film, and Adam's 3rd favorite of this cohort. 36:27 -- Past Lives! The Korean Barbie of this crop (in that it portrays men quite awfully). 38:18 -- Killers of the Flower Moon! Adam and the Porcupine both rate this film: Unwatchable. 44:49 -- A Hollywood white pill. The good nominees won. The bad nominees were snubbed. Yay! 45:16 -- Haman Nature does: First to Ruin the World! --- March Madness style. 58:37 -- Outro For no particular reason, we at Haman Nature would like to celebrate actor Dwight Schultz, whose many fabulous works include The A-Team, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Fat Man, Little Boy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_Schultz Website for Tom Luongo's Gold Goats 'n Guns: https://tomluongo.me/ HamanNature articles cited: Hooray for Hollywood?Barbie’s advice for men:Just one more post about the 2024 Oscars.Adam's other show: Natural Order Podcast This is a public episode.
