The Oscar Worsty Podcast

Ep 129: Proud Mariachi Keeps on Burnin’

Today the Grouches are still down by one, but they  soldier on and talk about their next Best Animated Feature "Coco"

Acting Direct: The Two Jakes

It has been a long, strange journey through the filmography of Jack Nicholson, but we have finally reached the end. Trav and Paul try to muddle through without Zach, but they find the courage to cover "The Two Jakes." It is the long delayed sequel to the 70's masterpiece, "Chinatown," and The Grouches will see how it compares to that, and the rest of Nicholson's directing output.

Ep 128: Nothing is Certain but Laundry and Taxes

Today the Grouches return to the Best Picture category as they talk about 2022's Best Picture Winner "Everything Everywhere All At Once"

Acting Direct: Goin’ South

Trav has disappeared for the week, and left Paul and Zach to cover Goin' South on their own. Hopefully they did a great job discussing this western homage to 1940's screwball comedies directed by and starring Jack Nicholson. They do so miss the Trashman, and hope he will return soon. Until then, enjoy this episode!

Ep 127: ACAB-All Cops Are Bunnies

Today the Grouches look at their next film in the Best Animated Feature with "Zootopia"

Acting Direct: Drive, He Said

After last week's review fake out, The Grouches are covering Jack Nicholson's real directing debut. Do the Grouches like this Vietnam era comedy/drama about the pressures of basketball and the draft? I guess the only way you'll find out is if you listen!

Ep 126: Can’t Stop the Feelings

Today the Oscar Grouches continue their journey in Best Animated Feature with "Inside Out"

Acting Direct: The Terror

The Grouches have finished with Denzel Washington's filmography, and are now moving on to the directing efforts of Jack Nicholson. This week they will be covering the Roger Corman produced horror movie, "The Terror." How does it stack up in the grand scheme of the podcast? What do the guys have to say about its slapdash approach to filmmaking? Did Paul just trick Trav and Zach into watching a Roger Corman movie, because iMDB said it had Nicholson involved in a minor directing roll? All this, and more, lies ahead!

Ep 125: I Can Be Your Hiro Baby

Today the Grouches continue watching the Best Animated Features with "Big Hero 6"

Acting Direct: A Journal for Jordan

Denzel follows up the Oscar-winning "Fences" with a film based on a book, based on the journal of a fallen soldier. This time, though, he doesn't cast himself, and chooses to stay behind the camera. After three consensus hits, can Washington keep his directing streak alive? Or will the Grouches find this film lacking?
