Oscars broadcast tech and Conan's hosting

David and Devindra are joined this week by film critic Matt Goldberg to reflect on the winners and losers of the 2026 Academy Awards, unpack masculinity with Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere, diagnose the 2026 reboot of Scrubs, and look back on some of the best picture winners of the past. Then they reckon with the combined power of Quentin Tarantino’s epic Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Check out Matt’s newsletter Commentary Track.
