Time Pals begin their peer-reviewed and meticulously researched version of “Marry, Eff, Kill” for the Best Picture Winners and nominees of 2001 through 2005.


Join co-hosts Mike Underscore, ShadoSpartan, Jon Powell, and Nickell as they venture through a special two-part episode through the Academy’s most dubious decisions, fixes film history’s wrongs, and hands the gold statues to the movies that truly deserved them.


Joining the Time Pals is special guest and close friend of Nickell, “Hollywood Fringe Legend” Veronica Matthews. Matthews credits include writing, directing, and performing in multiple stage and theater shows, and her work in the transgender community has been highly praised and brings a much-needed extra voice to keep Jon Powell in line.
