On Sunday, the 88th Annual Academy Awards were held, so we decided to tune in just to see what Chris Rock would do … and say. Well, he knocked it out of the park. (We can’t say the same about the ceremony overall, though.) In this episode, the Critic and the Referee react to the Oscars, describe an effective way to determine whether the plot of a movie or TV show will appeal to you, and provide an all new “Pick of the Week.” Enjoy!
