Birds of Prey Director Cathy Yan Talks Margot Robbie, Ewan McGregor & Directing Action

On this week's show, we are joined by director Cathy Yan to discuss her latest film, Birds of Prey, starring Margot Robbie, Ewan McGregor and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She talks about working with Margot and her input on the Harley Quinn character, what it took to pull of some of the huge action set pieces, why the film doesn't need Jared Leto's Joker and so much more. Stick around for later in the show when Jake and Sean also give their spoiler-free reviews of Birds of Prey. (Spoiler: It's really fun!)

Also this week, we have our final Oscars predictions! The guys have set a friendly wager on who can guess the most Oscar categories correctly, and the losers will have to watch an unbearable movie of the winner's choice. We also want to hear your predictions so write them down, and let us know how you do on Oscar night.
