Popcorn and Hemlock

We tackle such meaty questions as: Can anything beat Boyhood? Why was Whiplash nominated in the Adapted Screenplay category? Who will win the Big British Biopic Battle? Should "biopics" even be a thing? And WILL we get to see The Lonely Island perform the song from The Lego Movie at the ceremony?! This and more! Come listen!
