#50: WE'RE BACK BABY! | Why is Horror Excluded at the Oscars?

After 1.5 year hiatus, your host Elise Hernke is back with more Cinematic Breadcrumbs straight from the bakery. Each week we will be discussing some topic related to the world of cinema whether that be reviewing a specific film or deep-diving some aspect of the industry. To kick it off, Elise shares what you should lookout for this summer, recaps movie news of the past year, and touches on recent pop culture updates. Then, for the meat of the episode, we take a look at the way the horror genre has been treated by the Academy Awards and try to decide whether we think that is evolving.
