On the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, there’s always been a welcome place for movies with beating hearts. That’s not quite the same with satire where the feels battle the discerning ways comedy can poke with its commentary. Make our hosts cry and you’re golden. Make us scowl and you lose us.

For their 55th episode, satirical film critics, fishing buddy dads, and liability-fearing teachers Will Johnson and Don Shanahan recorded their final Oscar lead-up episode highlighting two Best Pictures nominees that couldn’t be more different. The gentlemen mash together the intentionally sweet with the intentionally sour to discuss CODA side-by-side with Don’t Look Up. They hash out their loves and hates for both while handicapping their Academy Award chances. Come for the shared challenge and tirade and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
