For Episode 473, Cody Dericks, Lauren LaMagna, and Dan Bayer join me for this very quick episode on the morning of the Critics’ Choice Awards, to give our predictions for what we feel is going to win at tonight’s awards ceremony, and what will be nominated for the SAG/PGA/DGA awards this week. We also discuss our most anticipated films of 2026, which is this week’s poll: “Which Film Are You Most Looking Forward To In 2026?” We also reveal the winner of last week’s poll, for the end of the 2025 film year, “Which Is Your Favorite Film Of 2025?” There are no trailers to discuss this week, but we do answer your fan-submitted questions, and more. Thank you all for listening, supporting, and subscribing. We really appreciate it, even with a breezier episode than usual this week! We’ll see you next week to discuss all of these awards, BAFTA Longlists, Golden Globes, and more! Enjoy as this year’s awards season continues.
