b'We start the show by offering our brief reactions to this year\'s Oscar nominations, which were released this week. After that we review Disney\'s ENCANTO (6:39), a heartwarming animated tale about a magical Colombian family, which features incredible songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Next, we dig into Guillermo del Toro\'s stylish, yet long film noir NIGHTMARE ALLEY (25:44), which has us split. Then we discuss Kat Coiro\'s delightful rom-com MARRY ME (40:09), a film about nice things happening to nice people, starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson. And in this week\'s Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about Greg Berlanti\'s 2018 queer teen rom-com, LOVE, SIMON!'
