01/25/23 Show 139 : 'MARMADUKE' (2022) WUZ ROBBED (AS WELL)

The late George C. Scott famously called the Oscars, “a two hour meat parade”, a description that could just as easily apply to this show. And as we’re a day removed from the reveal of nominations for the 95th Academy Awards, this week’s program explores the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ negligence in recognizing “Morbius” (dir - Daniel Espinoza).  Did the studio fail to place the requisite number of “for your consideration” billboards in Hollywood (FFS, even Turnstile know enough to do that) or does the problem lie in the Academy’s failure to specify a category for “Best Performance By An Astonishingly Annoying Seth Rollins Lookalike Who’s Mostly Sucked In Everything He’s Ever Done”?  You wouldn’t think it would take two hours to get to the bottom of this, and you’d be right.  It took closer to two hours and ten minutes.
