Awards Radar: The Podcast

For episode number thirty one (if you can believe it), I was joined once again by podcast regulars Myles Hughes and Steven Prusakowski, along with our pseudo regular Ryan McQuade. This time around, we focus exclusive on the Academy Award telecast, including both the good and bad. Frankly, there was more of the latter than the former, but such is this particular Oscar ceremony. Listen for the hotte...

For episode number thirty (if you can believe it), I was joined once again by podcast regulars Myles Hughes and Steven Prusakowski, along with our special guest this week, friend and former colleague Mark Johnson.

For episode number twenty-five, I was joined once again by podcast regulars Myles Hughes and Steven Prusakowski. This week, of course, we discuss the Oscar nominations from Monday morning. After all, what would Awards Radar be if we didn't talk about the nominees for the Academy Awards? There's a little talk about Zack Snyder's Justice League , but mostly, it's questions from you, the readers, and...

For episode number twenty-four, I was joined once again by podcast regulars Myles Hughes and Steven Prusakowski. This week, we discuss the various precursors that have dropped in the last few days.

Drop them in the comments and share with ev...

For episode number twenty-three, I was joined once again by podcast regulars Myles Hughes (making his triumphant return), as well as Steve. This week, we discuss the Golden Globes, as you might imagine. It's a two-part episode, presented as one long podcast. There's a pre-Golden Globes section, as well as one for after the ceremony. It's a good time, plus since you've all been so good...Sugar and...

For episode number twenty-two, I was joined once again by podcast regular Steven Prusakowski, along with semi-regular Ryan McQuade. Plus, we had the Tinston Sisters come on. Yes, Casey Tinston and Kendall Tinston sat in with us. This week, Myles Hughes is still away, but he does chime in again at the top to let you know where he is. He'll be back next time, though, so fear not! The agenda this tim...

For episode number twenty-one, I was joined once again by podcast regular Steve Prusakowski, alongside semi-regular Ryan McQuade.

Then, we spend some time answering reader questions, addressing Valentine's Day, going over the Critics Choice nominations, and the Best Picture scenario I'm planning to a...

For episode number twenty, I was joined once again by podcast regulars Myles Hughes and Steve Prusakowski, along with Ryan McQuade. We spend quite a bit of time looking at the recent Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations, as well as what that could mean for Oscar, going forward. It's a ton of awards chatter on an awards website...go figure, right? As always, friends and readers, I hope...

For episode number nineteen, I was joined once again by podcast regular Myles Hughes. We also saw the return of my old pal (pun intended) Mark Johnson. Yes, my former colleague and current friend Mark popped in this time to talk Oscar with us. Formerly of Awards Circuit and now at Awards Daily, Mark was kind enough to make it another mini Circuit Breaker reunion of sorts. He hangs out for a rundow...

For episode number eighteen, I was joined once again by podcast regular Myles Hughes, alongside pseudo-regular Ryan McQuade. However, far more notably, we were joined once again by actor, comedian, and writer  Keith Lucas . We talk some more  Judas and the Black Messiah , having now seen the film. Then, we debut the ridiculous skit we teased out last week. Myles outdid himself, so kudos there. It’...

For episode number seventeen, I was joined once again by podcast regular Myles Hughes. Boy, were we in a silly mood, starting with our newest commercial. This time around, we answered questions, sure, but we also played a game. That game, in turn, may just have generated a recurring segment. You'll have to listen to know exactly what I'm talking about, but trust me, it's a fun one. Plu...

For episode number sixteen, I was joined once again by podcast regulars Myles Hughes and Steven Prusakowski, plus pseudo-regular Ryan McQuade. This time around, we hit on a few different topics, including Carey Mulligan and the Best Actress race.

For episode number fifteen, kicking off 2021, I was joined once again by podcast regulars Myles Hughes and Steve Prusakowski. This time around, 2021 was the main focus. Specifically, we looked at a number of films from my 2021 anticipated movies piece ( here ). Obviously, many are holdovers from 2020, but not all. It led to a fun back and forth, especially as we got to some, let's call them...less...

For episode number fourteen, rearing its head here on New Year's Eve, I was joined once again by podcast regulars Myles Hughes and Steve Prusakowski. However, much more notably, we were joined by actor, comedian, and writer Keith Lucas . We talk about comedy, his favorites of the year, and obviously Judas and the Black Messiah . Then, we put a bow on 2020 with some end of the year talk. It's a goo...

For episode number thirteen, dropping on Christmas Eve, I was joined once again by regulars Myles Hughes and Steve Prusakowski. We spend a lot of time ranking the Marvel Cinematic Universe while answering a reader question. Then, things go rather off the rails. You can hear for yourself, but I suspect the ridiculousness will prove a bit divisive. Essentially, this will either be your favorite epis...

For episode number twelve, I was joined once again by staff member Ryan McQuade, while an old pal (pun intended) dropped by. Yes, former colleague and current friend Mark Johnson popped in this time around. Formerly of Awards Circuit and now at Awards Daily, Mark was kind enough to make it a mini Circuit Breaker reunion. We got in some sports talk, as we’re all big football fans, though we obvious...

We tackle a reader question, followed by a spirited discussion about what Warner Bros. is doing with their 2021 slate, in terms of HBO Max. Throw in some Best Actor cha...

For episode number ten, I was joined once again by Myles Hughes, Ryan McQuade, and Steve Prusakowski for a good bit of fun. We answer a handful of questions, taking on where babies come from, debating the films of David Fincher , and even doing some Oscar talk. It’s madness, but do you expect any less out of us? I didn’t think so. As always, we had a blast doing the podcast, so if even a bit of it...

For episode nine, I was joined once again by Myles Hughes and Steve Prusakowski for a ton of fun, with Ryan McQuade joining in as well. We talk turkey, with Thanksgiving having been yesterday (though we recorded this episode back on Sunday). There’s also a long breakdown of the last decade in Best Visual Effects winners and nominees, buoyed by a reader question. Throw in a bit of Soul chatter, amo...

With episode eight upon us, I was joined once again by Myles Hughes and Steve Prusakowski for a hearty bit of nonsense. We answer a listener/reader question that leads to a discussion of various Ron Howard films. We do a deep dive on Vince Vaughn , focusing on three movies in particular. Some of the recent Oscar contenders seen by yours truly get briefly talked about. It’s a hodgepodge of all of t...

For episode lucky number seven of the podcast, I was joined once again by Myles Hughes and Steve Prusakowski, as well as Max Joseph. We get the election out of our system, talking about Joe Biden ‘s victory and Donald Trump ‘s defeat. Yes, we even do a quick little comedy bit. Then, we get to the business of movies.
