  Speaker 6: Good for him, man, Yeah, I mean, nobody can be
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: disappointed with him holding the net.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: And it is amazing to go back to a point
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: that we talked about earlier, that we're almost a year
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: removed from Sinner's box office debut. Yeah, and to have
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that sort of staying power, it says something man. But
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: that was kind of an open field. It felt like
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: it was anyone's ball game a little bit. Yeah.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and he came in at the last minute.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: He made the rush late to get there. But like
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: you said, I think you put it nicely. Nobody can
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: be mad sitting here watching Michael B. Jordans celebrate the
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: best Oscar and Bustin in the chat put it pretty nicely.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Michael B did do an amazing job in centers, from
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: a boy in the wire to a set of twins
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and centers. It's truly amazing. Think about how far he's
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: called the.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: First time about with Michael B.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Jordan and Jesse Plemons because they were in Friday Night
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Lights Show together.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that. I didn't even think about that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, acts on actors.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: That was a that was a good watch for anybody
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that hasn't all right, I have another alert.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I think we're good.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I think we got two things left, and then we're
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna flip the table over and run.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: You're just gonna run out of here. Yeah, okay, Nashville's.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: At ten nineteen. Oh well, I don't live that far, y'all.

  Speaker 5: Let me just see what's.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Going on over here.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Rooster said, we should get the cats on screen. I
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: don't know where the cats are anymore. Oh my wife,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: it's probably my wife has a video. I don't know
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: where Pepper is. I don't know where Bucky is. Bucky
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: just his tail flicked and his ears were pinned back,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: and he just sprinted off. I am going to throw
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: this traffic, go up and show out. That's what they do. Dude,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: this strand of hair I got right here. Just rip
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the blinds open now we're talking. Look at him. He
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: doesn't give any single damn.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Open these windows, assholes. She keeps just going all around
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: this place. Do you mind getting this one too?
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I don't bring it over here.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Nashville. Tornado watched till three a m. Severe.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I feel like not much has changed here, boy, going
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: from Hollywood's biggest night to Tornado.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Watch here and in the dirty South, Dirty South, you
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: know what I think that was probably.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know there's still some maybe a little
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: bit of anxiety about Best Picture, but that Best Actor
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: was really the that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Was the one, right?
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think the night has at least
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: at least opened the door for the possibility. Maybe we
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: don't quite know who's winning Best Picture, but I don't
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: know Best Actress. I will be my jaw will be
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: on the floor if it's anybody other than Jesse Buckley.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think that's where we're at.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Which who won Best Actors last year?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I can't remember that far back? Buddy. Oh, Mikey Madison, Yeah,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: we just talked about her too. What just happened?
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure he baled the Benicio mm hmm.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Here she is, Mikey Madison. Oh that's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: a beautiful dress. Oh it's it feels is this like
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: two different colors depending on how the light hits it?
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: All right, let's see.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: A little a little red, a little merlow in there.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I guess so I think it's all one color though,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: but the but you're right right, light hits.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: It, Sean says Rose Byrne. Please, I would love I
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: will I.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Will faint if Jesse Buckley's not, because I'm pretty sure
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: she's won everything or just about everything.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Ye again right for I mean, well deserved if she
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: gets it.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I love that she is at least now an Oscar nominee.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: And I recently saw her new movie Toe that comes
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: out this this Friday, and she's great in that too.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I you know what, I like Kate Hudson. This is
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: clearly the one that I would switch out for Jennifer
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Lawrence die my love.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: She's great.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: She's awesome too. Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I feel like she'll win an Oscar one day too.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And listen too, she's the heavyweight.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I would like.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: To see her take a break from your your goos
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: and maybe try some other stuff.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: But I do Yeah, you're right, I like her.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I do like the there there's stuff together, but I
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: think we kind of maybe needed.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Just there's a little break here we go there it
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: is Jesse Buckley, no surprise there, but man, that's for her.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Good for her. Yeah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: For Spike Lee, he's is he trying to get up?
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, just like, was there anything she didn't win
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: this award season?
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I mean just a dominant run to this Oscar. But
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and I will say, like I personally would have picked
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Rose Byrne, but she is.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: She was the for sure thing this this time around.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Sean really hates The Bride.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I will say, I think I told you they were like, oh,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: she's about to noorbit it with the Bride, and I'm like, hey,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: she is not that bad in the Bride. Don't don't
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: speak of her with Eddie Murphy's norbit.
• 12:16

  Speaker 3: We started at seventy percent, right, So we're just going.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: To write it till the I get the best picture.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: We just got one more ward, Yeah, we got one more.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: This should be fine.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: They'll take a commercial break.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Probably.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I think people knew, I don't know how many years
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: ago that she would probably be an Oscar winner, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: now she is. So she's there, right, Yeah, she's there,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: And I think it is for a great performance. That
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: move the film I think is good, but I think
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: she's great. And now they're doing it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, So we don't.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: And you and McGregor Mulin Rouge Reunion.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: So I will say, for the podcast version of this show,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: welcome into the Vick Flicks podcast. Reacting to the Oscars,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: He's Brandon, I'm stony. We're gonna cut right into this
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: because they're about to hand out Best Picture and you'll
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: get our thoughts afterwards. Oh, Shawn asked Nicole Kidman's new boot.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I know you and McGregor's been merry forever.

• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I like her hair.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: H I still wish they would go.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: With the older people who are confused and just read
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: that's weird.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Sean says they're both divorced. Oh all right, final prediction,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: what takes sise?
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I'm sticking with one battle. I ain't should and will Yep,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: that's what I got.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna ride. I'm gonna ride one battle as well.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Oh no, you wouldn't remarried in twenty twenty two.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: See oh Spielberg and Sam Mendez. Oh look at Timothy.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: He got a nomination out of that too.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: He'll lose.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: But also please note Maury Supreme has not won anything.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: No eleven nominations, one nothing.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, it all comes down to this. I don't.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I think people should be should love the fact if
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: if it's Centers.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Or one battle. Yeah, for sure, these are two Bohemos dreams.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I love trained dreams.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I think I could just watch. I think I could
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: just sit and let that play.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you, all right, here we go. Best
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: picture goes too. There. It is one battle after another,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: the two thousand.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I think that was always going to be the winners,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: just you know, a little so little to it that
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: maybe Home and Centers has been if the listeners haven't
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: been winning stuff.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: So the the way this night started to go, and
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: like one battle comes up and wins one of the
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: early ones, but then Sinners wins a few, and then
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: one battle gets one, and then Sinners gets one, it
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: kind of made me think like, oh, maybe this is
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: gonna be closer.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: He gets director, they get yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: And it's it's not like, you know, we're going to
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: see the results of the voting. I think one battle
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: after another. It just I mean, from the moment we
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: saw it, we kind of thought, oh, yeah, this is
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: gonna be.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: This is going to be.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: It's been doing it since the beginning, and it's only
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: right that it ends this way to be.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Honest, are you kidding gotten to be kidding me?
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Oh? Well, there's a tornado warm up near Montgomery.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Carson's an hour and a half from here.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I know, I know, I'm about to I'm about to
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: head out.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Well all right, yeah, one battle after another, one's best picture.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Know what it's about.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: We we can't hear the speech trying. The weather has
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: cut in. Apparently north uh north northwestern Middle Tennessee is
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: under tornado warning. So we'll take this opportunity as we
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: wrap this show up tonight. Main takeaways from tonight.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: I'm with Sean. I think overall it's pretty predictable, but
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'm really sad about any of the winners,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: to be honest, I think I'm pretty happy with the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: way things turned out.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, you start going through the list, one battle
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: after another and sinners. Obviously big nights for those two,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: but then Frankenstein won several uh, Jesse Buckley wins one
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: for Hamnet. I'm trying to think sentimental value with the
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: international feature, like there was still a little bit of
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: wealth to spread around tonight, and I kind of feel like, no,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Marty Supreme didn't get one. They go oer for eleven.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: A little bummed about that f one getting getting one tonight. Yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: but I kind of feel like this was a year
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: that the field was kind of defined and everybody got
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: their piece of the pie.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: And Pta and Ryan Coogler are Oscar winners.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh good for them.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Cream of the crop. Yeah, that's gonna do it for us.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: We got to get out of here. Brandon's got to
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: get home before the storm sets in. And thank you
• 19:01

• 19:04
