Episode 199: Film Night Oscars 2022

We’re getting to a point in which these violent rants about our hatred of the Inferi-Oscars, given alongside our own unoriginally quasi-ironic version of them, are reaching levels of hypocrisy that even our big words and pseudo-intellectuality can’t save us. Nevertheless, we really hate the Oscars. Please enjoy the Film Night Oscars 2022!
