Beyond the Oscars: Podcast Style

The Oscars are this weekend!

I’m sad to say that I have not watched ONE of the nominated films for ANY category. Podcasting working Mamas of toddlers can’t have it all 😉

But we do have podcasts.

In lieu of being able to go the movies, or even watch the Oscars this weekend why not share some awesome podcasts that will give you some of the best reviews and discussion about this year’s nominees and more?

Filmspotting

Here is a list of the episode reviews of the nominated movies for this year’s Best Picture:

• Black Swan
• The King’s Speech and The Fighter
• Inception
• The Kids Are Allright
• 127 Hours
• The Social Network
• Toy Story 3
• True Grit
• Winter’s Bone

These are not the only episodes that offer insight regarding Oscar nominated films. If you get sucked into FilmSpotting, you should go over their website and do a search for whatever you are looking for. You’ll have plenty of material to keep you busy!
