Episodes

  1. Fixing Arnold's Post-Governor Career (Bite-Sized Bits 3)

    Welcome back to bite-sized bits! We realize of course that we promised you that these would come out every two weeks or so, and it's been 5 weeks since the last one, but you gotta cut us some slack here in the lazy months of summer. And we hope you've been enjoying that summer, because it's time…

  2. The Worst Actor We Could Get an Oscar For (Bite-Sized Bits 2)

    Welcome to another quickly-released Bite-Sized Bit! See how nice this is? You get less of us more frequently! Consider it a trial separation. Today the boys discuss the worst actors that they could conceivably get an Oscar for (and how they would accomplish that). Between the two of them, they…

  3. Arnold Elevating Other Roles (Bite-Sized Bits 1)

    Happy summer, everyone! Since Sonny and Tom have been absolutely terrible at uploading podcasts this year, they came up with a brilliant strategy to increase their episode numbers: bite-sized bits! That's right, we're giving you less content at a higher frequency purely to boost our episode...

  4. Guessing How Movies End: Bonus Round

    Welcome to the first bonus episode that was recorded as a standalone episode! What does that mean for you? It means we're too lazy to make a whole new episode so we recorded this bonus episode to pat ourselves on the back and forget about this podcast for a few more weeks. But at least you guys…

  5. Guessing How Movies End: Multiple Choice Edition

    A vintage AOFA concept that nobody liked is back! In late 2022, Sonny and Tom played a game in which they read the beginning of movie descriptions and attempted to guess how the movies ended. The concept was nice, but the outcome was awful. Today, wiser in the years that have passed us by like…

  6. Predicting 2026

    Welcome to a new year of An Oscar For Arnold! With prediction markets in the news these days, we thought it might be interesting if Sonny and Tom try to predict what will happen this year.

  8. Bantober: Halloween Movies, MLK Day, & The Mile High Club

    Happy Bantober! We promised you more banter this month and we weren't lying. We may have even given you too much banter! But you're going to take this banter and live with it. Because that is the #SpiritOfBantober There's so much banter, I'm just going to lay out the topics for you: Halloween...

  9. Oops! All Banter: Madison Beer, K-Pop, & Jedi Master Yarael Poof

    Welcome to #Bantober! The boys are back with an XL banter episode to get you into the Bantober spirit.

  10. Which Celebrity Lived Longer?

    We're back! Let's skip the empty apologies and get right into the game episode that you've all been waiting for. After wrapping up their 7-game series with the last game episode, the boys are back for a fresh start. And today they'll be playing Which Celebrity Lived Longer?, a clever spin on the...

  11. An Emmy For Arnold

    After a hiatus that was inexcusably long, the boys are back to celebrate Episode 40! And since it's a special occasion, they decided to give you a special episode that harkens back to the idea that started it all. Instead of turning their iconic film Olympia into a mini series, the boys try to...

  12. The Fans Pick the Topic

    Today, we wanted to give back to all you loyal listeners out there. The fans who have stood by our side for every episode. There's enough of you to populate a small village. Really more of a hamlet, if we're being honest. But we figured it was your turn to decide what Sonny and Tom were going to...

  13. "2nd Career" Actor Bracket

    This is a bracket episode dedicated to all the celebrities who became famous for something other than acting (basically as a musician or athlete) and then became actors afterwards. Just wanted to start by clearing that up because the title does not really convey it but we didn't know what else to...

  14. Bonus Banter: Patrick Schwarzenegger & Benny Blanco

    Not to toot our own horn here, but we think that last episode was probably the best banter episode we've ever done. So it's only natural that it would come with an incredible bonus banter episode attached to it. Enjoy the bits that weren't quite good enough for the regular episode, but still...

  15. Oops! All Banter: Al Pacino's Afterlife & Spin-Offs of Spin-Offs

    That's right, it's banter time! But first, we should probably address the fact that Sonny and Tom open this episode by bragging about how early in the month they're recording an episode only for it to ultimately be released on the last day of the month. But hey, nobody's perfect. And if it makes...

  16. Which Movie Got More Oscar Nominations?

    The boys kick off 2025 with a game episode! After the last three game episodes have not exactly gone Sonny's way, he's looking to fight back before he gets lumped into the all-time choke conversations. Meanwhile, Tom is attempting to complete a historic comeback after being down 0-3, solidifying...

  17. A Christmas For Arnold

    It's time for a special Christmas episode of An Oscar For Arnold! This one is sort of a two-parter, with the boys starting off by discussing "Jingle All the Way," the 1996 Arnold Schwarzenegger Christmas movie that sees him playing a workaholic father desperate to make his son happy by buying the...

  18. Indiana Jones and the Tomb of Blood

    You asked, and we answered! Well, maybe nobody really asked. But the boys are here to bring you another original Indiana Jones movie crafted right in front of your ears in a supersized episode. And today they have a special guest! Sonny and Tom's dear friend Ryan Town joins the podcast to...

  19. Sitcom + Drama Mash-Up

    In April of 2022, the boys brought you a Movie Mash-Up episode in which they attempted to combine two movies into one. The result was absolutely awful, but you guys still seemed to like the concept. So the fellas are back to try a different spin on the mash-up premise: merging famous TV dramas…

    For the 30th episode of An Oscar For Arnold, Sonny and Tom are playing another game. And this time, Sonny's winning record is on the line. Will he be able to defend his 3-2 lead over Tom, or will the score go even? Luckily the game is stupider than ever, with the boys trying to guess which of two...

  24. Recasting Oscar and Razzie Winners

    After just doing an episode about the Oscars, the boys decided to keep things exciting and do another one immediately after. But the Oscars are half the podcast's title, so we think our hosts deserve a pass for this one. Today they take a look at some films which have recently won Best Picture at...

  25. Oscars Recap & Best Actor Brackets

    The fellas just barely got this episode out at the end of March, keeping their promise of one episode a month this year alive. And ironically, they're doing an episode about something that happened several weeks ago. Sonny and Tom do a deep dive into the weirdest moments of the most recent…

  30. What if ___ was Directed by ___?

    The boys sit down to ponder a simple question in different forms: What if Martin Scorsese directed Forrest Gump? What if Greta Gerwig directed Scarface? What if Quentin Tarantino directed Toy Story? What if corporate greed hadn't gotten in the way of making the final Divergent movie? All these...

  31. Bonus Banter: Martin Short, Beck Bennett, & Timothee Chalamet

    After recording Episode 23, the boys realized they had gone on a few too many tangents. So they took out the worst bits to shorten the episode into something more manageable.

  34. Indiana Jones and the Crystal Flute

    After everyone seemed to enjoy last year's episode "Indiana Jones and the Hurricane of Katrina," Sonny and Tom decided to continue their hobby of outlining modern-day Indiana Jones movies.

  35. Which Movie has a Higher Rotten Tomatoes Score?

    It's time for another game episode!

  38. Nepotism Baby Bracket

  39. Guessing How Movies End

    Folks, we want to go ahead and take a moment to apologize for this one. We're not gonna lie to you, this seemed like a great idea going in. The concept was that we would read the synopsis and the beginning of the plot description for a few movies and try our best to guess how they might end. What...

  41. Switching Movie Genres

    Back quicker than ever before, Sonny and Tom decide to do some genre-swapping. In other words, they pick a movie, change the genre, then discuss how the new movie would work. It's not exactly the pinnacle of podcast topics, but we don't hear you coming up with anything better. Some of the genre...

  42. Oops! All Banter

    Today's episode has no main segment. Sonny and Tom decided to throw caution to the wind and shoot the shit for half an hour instead of focusing on one thing. They discuss the creepy promotion for the movie "Smile," putting Muppets in serious films, Lizzo playing James Madison's 200-year-old…

    On today's episode, Sonny and Tom sit down to rank the decades of Arnold Schwarzenegger's life from best to worst. But don't let that stop you from listening, it's more fun than it sounds. For some reason, the boys decide not to rank Arnold's life by his personal ten year spans, but by the…

    more
  46. Movie Mash-Up

    Using a random generator, the boys sit down to combine two movies into one hopefully logical plot. The results of this are mixed to say the least. Some of the movies they come up with are truly atrocious, but there are a few Oscar-winners buried within the ten mash-ups Sonny and Tom create. Give...

  47. A BMW For Arnold

    In today's special bonus episode of An Oscar For Arnold, Sonny and Tom sit down to discuss Arnold Schwarzenegger's advertisement at the Big Game, a football game that we can't name because we might get sued. If you were watching this Big Game on Sunday, you might have noticed Arnold appear as…
