All Episodes

November 3, 2025 • 57 mins

Hello Oscar lovers, we are back with a very special bonus episode that celebrates the fabulous films from the year 1986. In fact, “Tex” and Mark think there were so many great films released that year, that we could have an ALTERNATE OSCARS where we nominate and select completely different movies and performances and still have an amazing Oscar show. And to prove it — that’s exactly what we did! So enjoy (and play along) with our ‘Alternate 1987 Oscars’ for the non-nominated films of 1986 — one of the greatest years in movie history! As always, thanks for listening!
