Were The Oscars Overly Political? Winners & Losers, Controversies Large and Small, plus Marvel/Disney Woes & more w/film critic Luis Mendez

On this episode of Heard Tell we are talking about the goings on at the Academy Awards. The Oscars are always a cultural moment to slather our political & cultural issues upon, so just how political did this year’s ceremony get and how much did politics affect who won and viral cultural moments affect who lost?

Film critic Luis Mendez returns to talk about the winners and losers on Oscar night, the cringe moments and the biggest surprises, how an election year and volatile political climate did and did not affect the awards ceremony, and how the film Anora surged ahead after the epic and very public collapse of Emile Perez. Plus Luis and host Andrew talk about the hot mess that is Disney/Marvel studios from the latest Captain America offering’s soft numbers to the controversies surrounding the live-action Snow White.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
