Episode 430: Society of the Snow, The Breaking Ice

Bundle up for the latest episode of Breakfast All Day: Christy and Alonso catch up with a couple of international films that take place in chilly settings.

We also review "The Breaking Ice," a dreamy, French New Wave-tinged love triangle set along the border between China and North Korea. It's in theaters. Both films are very good, so check them out!

Episode 428: 2024 Oscar Nominations LIVE Chat!

It's Hollywood's biggest morning! We had a great time discussing this year's Oscar nominations with our viewers on our annual YouTube livestream. In case you missed it, here's our hour-long awards discussion in podcast form. "Oppenheimer" got the most nominations with 13, followed by "Poor Things" with 11, "Killers of the Flower Moon" with 10 and "Barbie" with eight. (And we were just as shocked as you were that Greta Gerwig was left out of best director and Margot Robbie didn't get a best actress nomination; to borrow from another Gerwig movie, it's the titular role.) What are you most excited about? Who got robbed in your opinion? Let us know, and keep an eye out for our Oscar predictions livestream closer to the March 10 ceremony.
