  • Mark from Nevermind the Music joins Elysia to talk about the diegetic music of The Wheel of Time, from the songs sung by characters in season 1 to the Song of lore introduced in season 3, episode 4.

    For the full episode, including our deep dive into the lost Song of the Tu'a'than, the Song of Growing, and all the lore around those, see our subscription and season pass options:

  • Mark from the Academy of Death Racers and Rambling Cinema joins Elysia to talk about what she considers three of the most important Oscar categories: International Films (formerly Films Not in the English Language) and the two writing awards – Adapted and Original Screenplay.

    Avoiding spoilers for those who haven't seen the movies, they talk through what makes or breaks these 15 films, which include Best Picture nominees Emilia Pérez, I'm Still Here, Conclave, A Complete Unknown, Nickel Boys, The Brutalist, The Substance, and Anora. (Though Elysia will argue that A Real Pain and Sing Sing should have been Best Picture nominees as well / instead.)

    Stick around until after the credits for updates from last night's Independent Spirit Awards, and what that says about the state of the Oscar race.
