【聊了什么The What】 电影颁奖季随着奥斯卡2026的完结落下帷幕，本期疲惫娇娃一年一度又来带着大家来例行盘点奥斯卡。先从争议开始，我们讨论了《K-pop猎魔女团》获奖感言被粗暴掐断引发的亚裔“噤声”事件和流媒体如何让学院派感到“被蚕食”的恐惧。几个娃也重点解析了年度大热《一战再战》与《罪人 Sinners》：艺术家电影人PTA是如何交出一份让大众满意的答卷？Ryan Coogler又是如何用恐怖片外壳包裹美国南方的移民血泪？我们对比了最佳男主提名的甜茶和获奖的Michael B. Jordan的表演（如果好奇我们对于甜茶的看法，请移步隔壁百花newsletter仔细阅读），也讨论了我们喜欢的导演赵婷和贾法·帕纳西。全球秩序分崩离析的当下，好莱坞的美式中心主义叙事在还站得住脚吗？敬请收听本期节目一探究竟。 Welcome to the annual Oscars recap by your neighborhood film and pop culture critics: CyberPink. We start off with controversies: discussing the "silencing" of Asian voices after the acceptance speech for K-Pop Demon Hunters was abruptly cut short, and exploring the ongoing battle between rise of streaming giants and the traditional film industry the Academy represents. We then jump into the heavy hitters: “One Battle After Another” and “Sinners” – how did auteur Paul Thomas Anderson deliver a film that (finally) satisfied the masses? And how did Ryan Coogler use the framework of a horror film to envelop the blood, sweat, and tears of the American South's immigrant experience? We compare the performances of Best Actor nominee Timothée Chalamet and winner Michael B. Jordan (if you're curious about our hot takes on Timmy “Sweet Tea”, please head over to our Baihua Newsletter for the full debrief). We also share our love for directors Chloé Zhao and Jafar Panahi. In an era where the global world order is fracturing, is there still space for an America-centric narrative in Hollywood?

It's Critical Darlings' biggest morning! After a marathon season, we react to this year's Academy Awards: the winners, losers, presenters, performances, and awkward play-offs. One Battle After Another and Sinners nearly split the ballot with One Battle and Paul Thomas Anderson taking the biggest prizes in Best Director and Best Picture, while Sinners took home Best Actor, Score, Adapted Screenplay, and Cinematography. But for as many questions as the ceremony answered, it raised more: Do Sinners and Amy Madigan's wins signal a shift in how the Academy sees horror? What exactly is the Best Casting Oscar tracking? Are we now doomed to see Timmy eat a raw elk in an Iñárritu film?

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks off with major culture-shifting moments as the cast celebrates Sinners making history at the Oscars, with Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor, Ryan Coogler taking home Best Original Screenplay, and Autumn Durald Arkapaw becoming the first woman—and first Black woman—to ever win Best Cinematography. The crew reflects on what the film’s record-setting 16 nominations and multiple wins mean for Black creatives in Hollywood and why this moment feels bigger than just awards season. The conversation then turns to Michael Jordan, who recalls a terrifying autograph signing early in his career where a crowd surge nearly turned deadly—an experience that explains why he rarely signs autographs today and how fame can quickly become dangerous. The show also welcomes Judge Glenda Hatchett for a powerful, wide-ranging conversation about justice, advocacy, and her continued fight for accountability in Black maternal health after losing her daughter-in-law to preventable childbirth complications. She shares why she now takes on maternal death cases nationwide and highlights her new children’s book Goal Girls, created to inspire young girls to dream boldly and confidently.

It’s Oscars Day, aka Christmas for people who like celebrity gossip and frocks. Holly Wainwright, Clare Stephens and Amelia Lester have a chaotic recap for you, including whether Leo stole Pedro’s moustache, the jokes that landed and the ones that flopped, and why justice was served in the Best Actor face-off. Plus, Louis Theroux has gone Inside the Manosphere for a new Netflix documentary, and there’s a lot to unpack. Are these men dangerous, or just shoddy salesmen looking for a mark? And while we’re at it, is Louis a little outplayed in the 'everything is content' era? And, are you a 'reply only' friend? We’re looking at the friendship dynamic where one person does all the heavy lifting while the other just reacts to the blue bubbles. Is it a problem if you’re the one who replies, but never reaches out? In other business, there is a literal culture war bubbling over whether being on The Pill decides which movie star you fancy. Elon Musk thinks it’s science, but we have some actual data (and common sense) to throw at that theory.

A late winter blizzard swept across the upper Midwest, bringing 20 inches of snow and winds up to 40 mph to parts of the region. Meanwhile, the same weather system hit southern Tennessee with a possible tornado. Closing arguments are expected to begin on Monday in Kouri Richins' murder trial.

Thanks to the kindness of strangers, nearly $1 million was raised for the man in five days. David Begnaud reports.

Send a textSomebody calls you “Hispanic” and you hear something else entirely. We sit down with Rosalinda for a special edition that starts with a real identity check: why she answers “Mexican” every time, how she thinks about Latino and Latina as umbrella terms in the United States, and why getting specific can be a form of respect. If you've ever googled “Hispanic vs Latino vs Mexican” or struggled with what word fits, this conversation puts the human side back into the definition. Then we pivot hard into an Oscars 2026 hangout, pulled straight from our natural chaos: Michael B. Jordan takes Best Actor for Sinners, we shout out Ryan Coogler, and we keep coming back to One Battle After Another as a movie worth watching for the performances alone. We also drop context around Fruitvale Station and why it still hits, plus quick reactions to nominees, categories, and the weird reality that half the award-season films are “wait, what is that?” until the winners list pops up. The surprise turn is AI. We talk about those deepfake-style tribute videos that bring Kobe, Tupac, and Michael Jackson back on screen and why it can feel spooky instead of sweet. Where's the line between honoring someone and using them? If you like cultural identity talk, movie recommendations, Oscars reactions, and honest questions about AI, hit play.

The Movies…. Are back. The Mindset….Continues. Bet you thought we had forgotten? Will and Hesse get in right under the gun for another Movie Mindset Oscars Special. Our two professional film critics and acclaimed indie film stars discuss this year's finest offerings from Tinsel Town and debate which among them deserves to be immortalized with that finest of names “Oscar.” Will PTA finally have his crowning moment of glory this year or will it be One Disappointment After Another for the wunderkind director as he's snubbed yet again… Who will win the ideological battle over fascism this year? Will it be The Secret Agent, which maintains that fascism is bad or F:1 which stands for Fascism = #1? Is having a parent evil, or is being a parent evil? And Is it better to exist or not to? Films like this year's Frankenstein, Sentimental Value and Hamnet all delve into this tricky and universal human dilemma. The Best Actor race is among the tightest in recent memory with many industry insiders saying it's going to come down to Michael B Jordan playing a set of twins who are divided over eating pussy and becoming a vampire and Timothee Chalamet who plays an arrogant, pushy Jewish guy who gets everything he wants and conquers the world. Will and Hesse discuss all this and more! Also Train Dreams? Place your bets NOW on which of this year's movies will win, and which ones each of these professional film critics still haven't seen!

Our month of Oscar-winning radio detectives continues with Rex Harrison, winner of the Best Actor prize for My Fair Lady and the debonair sleuth of The Private Files of Rex Saunders.

The Cinematography Podcast 2026 Oscar Special Jenelle Riley, three-time Emmy-winning entertainment journalist and host, chats with Ben and Illya for our SEVENTH annual Oscar nominations special. With a focus on cinematography, they discuss what they liked, what will win, what should win, and their favorite movies of the year that may not have been recognized. They discuss this year's nominations, including the likeliest Best Picture and Best Director contenders, Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another and Ryan Coogler's Sinners. F1 is also mentioned as an outlier for the category, although the cinematography by Claudio Miranda is excellent. This year's new category, Achievement in Casting, is celebrated as a much needed addition. The cinematography competition is a heated one, with both Autumn Durald Arkapaw and Michael Bauman as favorites, with Bauman recently winning the ASC Award. Some of the snubs this year include one of Jenelle's favorite movies, Life of Chuck.  Song Sung Blue also didn't receive much awards love. Last year's awards omitted the worthy film, Thelma.  Also discussed: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.

This week's French Connection podcast episode covers one of the most thrilling and morally complicated films of 1971. Ryan, Mike, and Greg revisit The French Connection on Movie of the Year. William Friedkin's Best Picture winner changed what American cinema thought a hero could look like. In addition, this episode features a special Gene Hackman career retrospective.Released in 1971, the film follows New York City detective Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle — based on real NYPD detective Eddie Egan, with partner Sonny Grosso inspiring the character of Russo. Doyle pursues a massive heroin operation with little regard for the law or the people around him. As a result, the film won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. It remains one of the defining films of the New Hollywood era.This Movie of the Year podcast episode is one of the most anticipated of the 1971 season. Before diving in, check out our recent episodes on The Last Picture Show and A Clockwork Orange.Joining the Taste Buds for this episode is special guest C. Craig Patterson A screenwriter, director, and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. An alum of Columbia University, NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and USC's School of Cinematic Arts, Patterson brings serious cinematic credentials to the table. His short film Fathead won the Cannes Film Festival Best Student Short Award and earned an NAACP Image Award nomination. His scripts have been recognized by the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, The Black List, and the Academy's Nicholl Fellowship. Patterson also directed the critically acclaimed Roy Wood Jr. comedy special Imperfect Messenger for Paramount+. With projects currently in development at Paramount and Epic Games, he is one of the most exciting emerging filmmakers working today — and exactly the kind of guest who makes a film like The French Connection worth revisiting.The French Connection 1971 Podcast: Popeye Doyle — Hero, Antihero, or Something Worse?The central tension of this French Connection 1971 podcast discussion is what to make of Popeye Doyle. Gene Hackman plays him as a force of nature — relentless, racist, reckless, and completely compelling. He is not a good man, and he is barely a good cop. Nevertheless, the film frames his obsession as heroic, his instincts as genius, and his victory as worth celebrating.Ryan, Mike, and Greg dig into what Friedkin and screenwriter Ernest Tidyman were doing with Doyle. Is the film a critique of the kind of law enforcement he represents? Or is it simply in love with him? The answer is probably both. Ultimately, that ambiguity is what makes the character so difficult and so fascinating fifty years later.The Real Detectives Behind the StoryThe real detectives, Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso, consulted on the film and even appear in small roles. Consequently, knowing the story is grounded in a real investigation makes Doyle's behavior harder to dismiss. These were not fictional excesses invented for dramatic effect, and the panel takes that seriously.Gene Hackman won the Academy Award for Best Actor for this role, beating out Peter Finch, Walter Matthau, George C. Scott, and Topol. Furthermore, it remains one of the most celebrated performances of the 1970s. The panel uses this episode to look back at Hackman's broader career and make the case for where he stands in the pantheon.For more on Gene Hackman's career, visit the Internet Movie Database.William Friedkin and the New Hollywood Crime FilmDirector William Friedkin approached The French Connection as a documentary-style thriller. He shot on location in New York City with handheld cameras and natural light, refusing to glamorize either the city or its characters. As a result, the film feels unlike almost anything else from 1971 — raw, kinetic, and deeply uncomfortable.The Taste Buds explore how Friedkin's direction shaped the film's identity. Most notably, the legendary car chase under the elevated train tracks in Brooklyn is widely considered one of the greatest action sequences ever filmed. Friedkin shot it on live New York City streets without fully stopping traffic, with a camera mounted to the front of the car. For critical analysis of the chase, the Criterion Collection offers essential reading.Friedkin After The French ConnectionJust two years later, Friedkin directed The Exorcist, cementing his place as one of the defining filmmakers of the decade. The panel discusses what the two films share and what The French Connection reveals about Friedkin's sensibility. In both cases, his camera feels like it is barely keeping up with reality — and that is entirely by design.For more on Friedkin's influence on American cinema, visit the American Film Institute.The French Connection Podcast Discussion: Justice and Its LimitsAt its core, The French Connection is about the gap between justice and the law. Popeye Doyle operates outside the rules, endangers civilians, shoots an unarmed man in the back, and ultimately fails to bring the main target to justice. Despite all of this, the film presents his pursuit not as tragedy but as the cost of doing business.Ryan, Mike, and Greg examine what the film says about the American justice system in 1971 — a moment of profound national disillusionment. Vietnam, the civil rights movement, and the early signs of Watergate were all in the air. Meanwhile, the "good guys" in this film are not good, the "bad guys" are not caught, and the audience is asked to root for the pursuit anyway.Race and Policing in The French ConnectionMoreover, the film's racial politics are impossible to ignore. Doyle's racism is presented as character texture rather than moral failing, and the film never fully grapples with the implications of the policing it depicts. That discomfort is an important part of the conversation this week.For historical context on the real case, visit the DEA's history of the French Connection.Gene Hackman Best Performances: A Career RetrospectiveThis episode includes a special segment on Gene Hackman's best performances. The Taste Buds make their case for the defining Hackman roles and debate his greatest work. In particular, they discuss what made him such an unusual screen presence: his everyman quality, his capacity for rage, and his refusal to tell the audience how to feel about his characters.His breakthrough came in Bonnie and Clyde in 1967, and his Oscar followed here in The French Connection. Subsequently, classics like The Conversation, Mississippi Burning, Unforgiven, and The Royal Tenenbaums cemented one of the most extraordinary bodies of work in American cinema. This segment celebrates an actor who never got quite enough credit for how good he really was.Why The French Connection 1971 Still MattersMore than fifty years later, The French Connection remains essential viewing. Beyond its technical achievements, it functions as a moral document — capturing a specific American mood: exhausted, suspicious, and uncertain about its own institutions.Ultimately, this French Connection podcast episode revisits the film as a living argument about power, obsession, and the stories we tell about law enforcement. It asks hard questions, and this episode doesn't let them off the hook.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 1971If you enjoyed this episode, check out the rest of the Movie of the Year 1971 series:The Last Picture Show — Bogdanovich, nostalgia, and a dying Texas townA Clockwork Orange — Kubrick, free will, and the limits of the stateBrowse all Movie of the Year episodesFAQ: The French Connection Podcast and FilmWhat is The French Connection podcast episode about?Ryan, Mike, and Greg discuss William Friedkin's 1971 Best Picture winner.

After months of debate over who should win "Best Actor," "Best Actress," and "Best Picture" (and "Best Film Editing," for all you cinephiles out there), the results will finally be announced this Sunday evening at the 98th Academy Awards ceremony, allowing us to finally fill out our Oscars bingo cards. But for many movie stars, the end of awards season means they can ramp up outside business ventures—often of the boozy variety. Over the past decade, we've seen countless celebrities launch spirit brands to great success, like George Clooney's Casamigos tequila and Ryan Reynolds' Aviation gin. Some of this year's Oscar nominees have gotten in on the trend, too. Re-watching Song Sung Blue to feel something? Mix up an espresso martini using "Best Actress" nominee Kate Hudson's King St. Vodka. Giving One Battle After Another a chance to prove its 4.2/5 Letterboxd rating? A Paloma with "Best Supporting Actor" nominee Benicio del Toro-backed Perro Verde Mezcal is the perfect pairing. It's no secret that the spirits industry is in a state of turmoil, as people drink less and purchase less alcohol. So why are celebrities still jumping into the space? And what does it take for their brands to actually be successful? I spoke with Ed Mundy, who heads up beverages research at investment bank and financial services firm Jefferies, to find out.

Adnan Virk joins the show fresh off a trip to Vancouver, where he says the people there are upset they are never in the same conversations as Toronto as a city. We get Adnan's opinion on the World Baseball Classic, where some players are full-time electricians and construction workers going up against Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. Then, the episode ends with a game of Keep 3, Cut 5... Academy Award winners for Best Actor since 1990. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Analysis crew returns for their annual Oscars extravaganza, and this year the stakes are high. Matt shows up in full Elphaba costume after losing alast years bet. What's on the line this year? The loset has to go full chili dog hot dog experiment like Liam Neeson in Naked Gun, all while painted as "Hot Frankenstein Jacob Elordi. Bob is cautiously optimistic about the Academy for the first time in years, and Hollywood correspondent Spencer Davis joins live from the chaos of Oscar weekend to break down one of the most unpredictable races in recent memory. Across a packed slate of categories, the trio debates the biggest battles of the night—from the Sinners vs. One Battle After Another showdown for Best Picture, to a wild Best Actor race featuring Timothée Chalamet, Michael B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Wagner Moura. They dive deep into the craft categories, argue about the chaotic shorts races that make or break ballots, and break down why this year's nominations represent a rare mix of blockbuster spectacle and intimate filmmaking. Along the way, they discuss the potential career-crowning Oscar for Paul Thomas Anderson, the cultural impact of K-Pop Demon Hunters, the emotional devastation of this year's documentary lineup, and why some races might come down to pure momentum in the final days of voting. It's predictions, debates, hot takes, and Oscar chaos—plus a few existential questions like: Should PTA have won years ago? Is Timothée Chalamet his own worst enemy? And what role would Philip Seymour Hoffman have played in One Battle After Another? Grab your ballots and settle in—because by the end of the episode, the guys lock in their picks for every major category before the biggest night in Hollywood.
