Ep. 314: Anora, Wicked and Emilia Pérez

Ahead of the 2025 Oscars, Claire and Gavia discuss three of this year's Best Picture nominees: The critically acclaimed romantic dramedy Anora, the blockbuster musical Wicked, and the controversial trans drama Emilia Pérez, a film whose 13 Oscar nominations arrived alongside widespread backlash.

Over on the Overinvested Patreon page, Morgan and Gavia also released a special episode offering a full overview of this year’s Oscar contenders. This ep covers topics like category fraud (Kieran Culkin should not be campaigning as a supporting actor) and documentary censorship, along with making some educated predictions, and highlighting some underappreciated nominees.
