However, one shined more brightly than others at the 97th Academy Awards: "Flow" (2024, dir. Gints Zilbadolis).*This episode was recorded a couple of days before the 2025 Oscars.*

The 97th annual Academy Awards is this Sunday— with dozens of films having campaigned across 23 categories this awards season— and many spectators are unsure on which folks will come home with Oscars. With all that drama comes our 23rd annual FilmWeek Oscars Preview, which was held this year at the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA. Eight of our FilmWeek critics joined host Larry Mantle on stage and broke down their picks in all the major categories; categories mentioned include Best Picture, Director, International Feature, Animated Feature, as well as each acting and screenwriting category. For a list of all the nominees this year, click here.

It's an annual tradition to fill out our Oscar ballots together live on the podcast. This Sunday night marks the 97th Academy Awards, and we are joined by special guests Dalton Burdette and Adam Sirdoreus to predict the winner in every category and share our personal picks. Plus, we share the results of our Critics Association of Central Florida award winners.Follow Dalton and Movie Knightshttps://www.youtube.com/@MovieKnightsFollow Adam and Films for Breakfasthttps://filmsforbreakfast.comCACF Special Award Categories:Best Stunt CoordinationBest Hybrid PerformanceBest First FeatureBest Central Florida FilmBest Achievement in DiversityOutstanding Youth PerformanceSocial Impact Award2024 Critics Association of Central Florida (CACF) Award Winnershttps://weboughtamic.net/2025/01/02/2024-critics-association-of-central-florida-cacf-award-winners/Sam Speedy Oscar Ballothttps://samspeedy.com/portfolio/ballotsTimecodes Intro, our Oscars memories - 0:00 This year's Oscar race - 19:19 CACF Special Categories - 31:32 The Shorts - 54:40VFX - 01:03:44 Best Sound - 01:06:52 Production Design - 01:12:30 Makeup and Hairstyling - 01:20:11 Editing - 01:24:42Costume Design - 01:34:13 Cinematography - 01:36:31 Original Song - 01:40:39 Original Score - 01:55:30 Documentary Feature - 02:00:16 Animated Feature - 02:06:51 International Feature - 02:09:55 Adapted and Original Screenplays - 02:14:54 Supporting Actor - 02:21:15 Supporting Actress - 02:24:17 Best Actor - 02:27:40 Best Actress - 02:34:30 Best Director and Best Picture - 2:40:30

While we've been known to occasionally make up our own words, our guests in this week's special episode do it for a living. David J. Peterson and Jessie Peterson are professional linguists and conlangers—those are people who construct their own languages—and you've heard their work in Dune, Shadow & Bone, Elemental, Game of Thrones and, of course, The Witcher. What's involved in creating an all-new language? How long does the process take? How difficult is it to teach it to actors? And have they created any swear words of which they're particularly proud? (Look, you knew we were going to ask.) David and Jessie answer these questions and many more, while sharing secrets about the musical language they created for Sirens of the Deep. They even answer one of our burning questions about the film's ending, so while you may not end the episode fluent in the elder tongue, you WILL learn something new. You can find David J. Peterson on Bluesky and AO3 at @dedalvs and on Instagram at @athdavrazar. Jessie Peterson can be found at @quothalinguist on both Bluesky and Instagram, and her Conlang Year experience can be found at quothalinguist.com. Watch David and Jessie conlang live at @LangTimeStudio on YouTube.

We present our Wallace & Gromit - Vengeance Most Fowl review! Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is a 2024 British animated comedy film produced by Aardman Animations and the BBC in association with Netflix, and directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham. It is the sixth Wallace & Gromit film, the first since A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008), and the second feature-length film after The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005). It features the return of Feathers McGraw from The Wrong Trousers (1993), who is out for revenge on Wallace and Gromit and turns the former's latest invention on the duo to do so.Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl premiered at the American Film Institute on 27 October 2024. It was broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 25 December in the UK, becoming the second-most-watched UK broadcast since 2022; it released on Netflix internationally on 3 January 2025. The film holds a 100% rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, and was nominated in the Animated Feature categories at the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, BAFTAs, and Annie Awards.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network. Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76also https://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

This week we dive into the Best Animated Feature Oscars 2025 category with Adam Elliot's "Memoir of a Snail." We discuss a lot of behind-the-scenes info including the writing and animation processes, as well as a look into budget concerns for a film this work oriented. We then discuss the film itself, exploring all the plot points we love. Finally, we end the episode with a pair of double bills for your viewing pleasure. Thank you so much for listening!Created by Spike Alkire & Jake KelleyTheme Song by Breck McGoughFollow us on Instagram: @DoubleBillChillLetterboxd: FartsDomino44

It's finally here! With The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep now streaming on Netflix, we're setting sail with Geralt and Jaskier as we unpack their newest animated movie. Over a bottle of Jefferson's Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon, we search for pearls of the verbal variety while tackling all the tough questions. What do we think of the added events and changed ending? Why is there a random musical number? And how exactly do a mermaid and human do the deed, anyhow? Plus, we introduce two all-new segments, weigh in on the short story that inspired the film and explain why a celebrated fantasy author really needs to walk the plank. It's an episode that's guaranteed to get you just as animated as Geralt, so make a little—okay, moderately-sized sacrifice of your time and give it a listen.

Anora's huge weekend at PGA, DGA, & CCA brings out the best and worst in all of the Oscars punditry (including us), and we must reckon with an entirely different race than we thought we'd be at heading into BAFTA and SAG.

We're back for an all-new season! We've heeded the siren's song (it's absolutely ear-piercing when you're nursing a hangover) and returned to the studio for a full season devoted to Witcher comics and animation, starting with the soon-to-debut Sirens of the Deep! We explain what we'll be discussing and what we won't, and how you can read and watch along with us. We also round up some of the latest Witcher news, discuss the recent Los Angeles fires (don't worry, we're safe!) and share our thoughts on the Sirens trailer that dropped while we were on hiatus. Oh, and Valerie gets really excited about a clock.

This year's Oscars spotlight is on the full length animated feature film.One thing this has shown us is that Disney is not the only studio to bring quality and memorable animated films. Over the last 24 years, we've celebrated the work from talented animators and filmmakers from Studio Ghibli, Pixar, DreamWorks, Sony, as well as Disney, including others. Today's root beer is Kittywampus Soda Backwoods Brew. Intro and Outro music by Stockmusic331 on Pond5Send us a text

The 96th annual Academy Awards are doled out tonight, so here is part 2 of a two-parter where return guests Brendan and Zak - former high school film students of mine, now college grads and film entrepreneurs in their own right - join me for the second consecutive year to discuss the nominees - specifically, the four acting categories, Director, Original Score, Original Song, Costume Design, Hairstyling and Makeup, Animated Feature, and International Feature Film!

Originally broadcast on March 7, 2024. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2024/03/binary-system-podcast-401-wtnv-243-lost-and-found-and-more-of-the-oscar-nominations/ On this week's Night Vale episode, we highly approve of Cecil devoting an entire broadcast to Lost and Found submissions, because writer Brie Williams is very good with lists of random weirdness, unexpected sweetness, and things with TEETH. From there we jump into three more Oscar nominated films we finally watched, namely Oppenheimer (brilliant but a bit too long, with "the most unnecessary nude scene ever"), Elemental, and Nimona. While we think Pixar usually has the better shot at winning the Animated Feature award, we're really pulling for Nimona. Along the way we wander off into tangents like the Hot Ones show, Florence Pugh, Redbox, nerd underwear, and the REALLY STUPID ADS in Amazon Prime. This week's outro is a clip from Keepsake by Beat Mekanik. Clarification: Redbox is 2.25, but that's just for one night, once you double it it's about the same as most of the 2-night rentals from Prime. Correction: Elemental did have a theatrical release, but according to the New York Times it had "the worst opening in Pixar history." It's since become a lot more successful. Correction #2 - Annapurna Pictures is the production company that took over from Blue Sky Studios when Disney axed Nimona. Kathryn got her Soot Sprite undies from All Teh Smol Things.

This past week I received extensive notes on my first draft of an animated feature script. Thanks to those, I'm able to finally be at the place I wanted to be at for so long where now I can make the needed revisions at lightening speed.
