Summary

I watched the Oscars last night so you don’t have to! We had an indigenous land acknowledgement, honoring of the sex worker community, a surprisingly wholesome speech, and plenty of woke and awkward moments. Let’s talk about it.

of this year's top films, so I decided to download,

0:38.9

you know, one of those apps, To Bebobo, Fubo, Fleebop, webop, whatever the hell, and watch
