Well, okay, one last time. Bibbs and Witney couldn't record their usual Oscars prediction episode but they are going to dissect every choice the Academy made, whether it made history and brought us all to our feet as we wept our geeky tears, or whether it was kinda meh, or worse.

Who won this year's prediction contest? Which awards did Bibbs and Witney completely whiff? And how will history treat this year's winners? We're gonna talk about it all on the latest CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED! (Our movie reviews will return next week, don't worry!)

But what, pray tell, makes a movie "cozy?" It's not a well-defined genre, and as much as warm hearths and fuzzy sweaters seem to define the vibe, there's more to coziness than creature comforts.

Bibbs and Witney (and especially Witney) push the boundaries of what "cozy" really means, as they come up with their own Top Ten lists on... THE IRON LIST!

For our pilot episode, Bibbs and Witney scrounge up the beloved TRIVIAL PURSUIT: SILVER SCREEN EDITION, which was released in 1983. Which means there are no trivia questions about movies after 1983, so some of the questions could be very tricky, and some of the answers might not be accurate anymore!

Content Warning: Some of the best westerns ever made were made by some terrible people, so we will discuss those topics.

You can probably think of plenty of so-called "mockbusters" but movie history is littered with great films, many of them classics in their own right, that wouldn't have been made - at least at the same time, in the same way - if it weren't for the success or notoriety of another release.

UPDATE: There were some phantom sound effects in the last few minutes of the podcast as originally uploaded, A new version has been uploaded with the audio fixed. Editing a podcast while you have COVID is tricky. Our apologies.
