How to Fix the Oscars, feat. Daniel Joyaux
Bob and Brad set out to find a way to salvage the train wreck that is the Oscars telecast, especially in a year as controversial as this one. They're joined by film critic Daniel Joyaux, whose pitch for fixing the show is by far the best (and most feasible) one our hosts have heard yet. Along the way, they discuss the history of this group of people called "The Academy," as well as the telecast itself.
To hep fuel the conversation, our hosts sip four expressions of whiskey from Altered State Distillery in Erie, PA. Spoiler: the 4-year bourbon finished in stout barrels is absolutely worth a purchase.
