The Oscars Are Streaming

"I don't like the Oscars this year. I need to leave that attitude in 2022 and come into 2023 like an eagle," he says. "It just, the Academy likes to avatar the way of waterway too much." Elvis is streaming on HBO Max; Cheetah Prince by the Woods will eventually go to Netflix. Banshees could have a nice little shelf-light because its audience is waiting to watch it at home or on their Academy site.

I need to... One day I'll break you. Yes, we need to tell people what's streaming.
Speaker 1
You need to tell people what's streaming. It's the end of the year. You're gonna be talking about the Oscars for the next three months, God for fucking bid. And nobody knows where to watch anything anymore. That makes me wanna lie down and die.
Speaker 2
It's okay. It's gonna be okay. I don't like the Oscars this year. I had a really good attitude, and then it just turned around really quickly. I don't know. It just, the Academy likes to avatar the way of waterway too much. I need to leave that attitude in 2022 and come into 2023 like an eagle.
Speaker 1
You can soar through this awards race.
Speaker 2
If the Academy would embrace Top Gun Maverick and Ortour, and we could have the awards season that we deserve. It's plausible.
Speaker 1
And said,
Speaker 2
we're just talking about Elvis, man. Elvis is streaming. Elvis is streaming. Look at me, I can
Speaker 1
segue too. You can do it too. I'm so proud of you. Elvis is streaming on HBO Max. Should I do this entire segment in the TikTok voice? Yeah. Yes. Elvis, an exciting new film from Baz Lerman. He's up to his old tricks again. This film moves very fast and shows the life of Elvis Presley. Check it out. Now on HBO Max, see what the movie is or on HBO Max. No more of that. Also on HBO Max, the Banshees of Inachair. Film that we did like. And that I think actually is competing pretty hard. We'll probably come back early next year and do another Power Rankings. But Banshees, especially since it has been streaming, a little bit more warmth towards it. We've seen this happen in recent years as these movies come home that their profiles raised. Banshees didn't do that great in movie theaters, but could have
Speaker 2
a nice little shelf-light. Yeah, because its audience is waiting to watch it at home or on their Academy site.
Speaker 1
That's exactly right. Other films, The Woman King. Cheetah Prince by the Woods New Film is available on VOD right now. It's a Sony movie. And so that means it's going to eventually go to Netflix. I'm very curious to see when Netflix and Sony agree to put this movie on the service because it could have the same effect that I think Banshees is having right now, where if it's on that home screen, you know it's gonna go to number one, the minute it hits Netflix. And I wonder if that pushes Viola Davis ahead. I wonder if that pushes this movie into the consciousness. I think it'd be a lot of fun if this movie made the best picture race. I'm rooting for it.
