In a coincidence begat by a half-year delay in recording, Here Are the Nominees takes a look back at Ridley Scott's war classic just in time for Veteran's Day. This reverent re-telling of the Battle of Mogadishu is notable for its gritty, realistic immersion into the fog of war and serves as a reminder that anti-war films can still be pro-military. We take a look at Scott's career, this incredibly deep cast, and how BHD fared at the 74th Academy Awards. >Direct Podcast RSS feed: here!  > Contact: email and Twitter! > Review us on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or anywhere!

Thank God for double episodes. If they didn't have double episodes, they wouldn't have gotten the idea for the regular ones! Here Are the Nominees would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the wild ceremony and fairly tame award selections for the recent 94th Academy Awards, so first we do exactly that, discussing the winners and, generally, wha' happened. Then we wrap up with a look at Christopher Guest's 2003 Best Original Song-nominated folk mockumentary. Is David going to hold out in his distaste for Guest's comic style, or will there be a kiss at the end of this rainbow?

Michigan State Ph.D. candidate Kate Dibiasky has made a terrifying discovery - Brent and David's microphones still work! Worried that our one movie a month pace might cause us to run out of movies by the year 3800, we took an 8 month break to let the Oscars get a better headstart. We're back to talk about Adam McKay's comet comedy nominated for four Academy Awards this month. We're still knocking off the rust, so hopefully this won't be a total disaster (this is where McKay would cut to a quick scene making sure you understand my use of the word disaster is a reference to the film's plot, because you probably couldn't have figured that out).

To listen to this episode, hop on your lightbike and go inside your computer! You'll need a casually placed laser, so head on over to your nearest small game developer/megacorporation and pick one up, then join us all in the HATN mainframe where we discuss 1982's Tron, which was nominated for two Academy Awards - neither of which was for visual effects! >Direct Podcast RSS feed: here! > Contact: email, Facebook (movies, TV, games), and Twitter! > Check out The Media By Us Facebook Page too! > Review us on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or anywhere! > Intro theme courtesy of The Willow Walkers

Someone pure of heart must have made a wish and jumped off a mountain, because Here are the Nominees is back! This time we're looking at Ang Lee's decuple-nominee (that means 10 - I had to look it up), Wuxia romantic adventure film that took the world by storm. Fly with us down memory lane and revisit the tale of the theft of the Green Destiny! After that, we'll rehash its Oscar performance and, despite 10 nominations, still find some snubs.

For this episode, we invite you to come enjoy yourself in John Ford's quaint, quiet Irish village of Inisfree, an idealized version of Ireland - as long as your ideal involves chaotic drunken donnybrooks. Winner of two Oscars and nominated for seven, The Quiet Man blends romance with comedy with gorgeous, lush Irish countrysides as backdrop, and stars John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, and Victor McLaglen. It's a first time courtship for us with this film, so we ask of you, please, no patty fingers. >Direct Podcast RSS feed: here! > Contact: email, Facebook (movies, TV, games), and Twitter! > Check out The Media By Us Facebook Page too! > Review us on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or anywhere! > Intro theme courtesy of The Willow Walkers

Put away those google images of dead deer, grab some donut holes, and prepare for the dumbest car chase ever - in one of the smartest whodunits ever, Rian Johnson's 2019 Best Original Screenplay-nominated comedy-mystery masterpiece.

Grab our ponytails and hang on as we fly away to a magical land, a land of massive genies, evil sorcerers, overboard dogs, elaborate stabbing machines, terribly timed spells, giant spiders, and scrumptious sausage plates! That's right, it's 1940's biggest winner at the Academy Awards, The Thief of Bagdad, directed by... [checks notes]... everyone?

Once upon a time, there were two not so young podcasters named Brent and David, and they took it upon themselves to watch Oscar-nominated films, review them, and talk about their award runs. Here is the last remaining portal to their discussions, as we wait for the one true listener to come along, complete three tasks (listen, review, & tell your friends) and restore balance to the kingdom of the podcasting underworld... >Direct Podcast RSS feed: here! > Contact: email, Facebook (movies, TV, games), and Twitter! > Check out The Media By Us Facebook Page too! > Review us on iTunes, Google Play, or anywhere! > Intro theme courtesy of The Willow Walkers

Now we have a new podcast. Ho-Ho-Ho. Come back to TMBU, plug in the headphones, have a few laughs. In HatN's first episode, Brent and David look back at John McTiernan's action classic. Does Die Hard, a longtime favorite of ours, stand up to the test of time and a more critical look? Where do we stand on the Christmas movie question? And finally, was Die Hard snubbed at the Academy Awards, where it received four nominations (Film Editing, Visual Effects, Sound Editing, and Sound) but took home zero statues? Listener, bubby, we're you're white knights, answering all this and more just in time for your holiday season! This will be on the same Talkie Talk feed you're currently subscribing to.
