LISTEN TO THE PLUGGED IN SHOW, EPISODE 225
Each year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hands out the most coveted awards in the entertainment industry: the Oscars. This year, surprises were few, with Oppenheimer grabbing several of the biggest awards (including Best Picture) and Poor Things nabbing a surprise Best Actress award for Emma Stone (as well as several technical awards).
This week on The Plugged In Show, we’ll talk about the winners, the broadcast and some of the overarching themes we saw in films that were nominated. We’ll also offer some reminders that despite all of that adoring critical acclaim, Oppenheimer and Poor Things in particular have some huge content issues to be aware of.
And in our second segment, Kristin Smith tells us about a new animated kids show on Netflix called Dee & Friends in Oz. Will families find this rebooted take on the Emerald Kingdom to be a magical one? Take a listen and find out.
As always, we’d love to hear from you, too, about what we talk about each week on The Plugged in Show. Did you watch the Oscars this year? And if so, what did you think of the winners that the Academy voters chose to honor?
