On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we dive into the fascinating world of angels and demons. Why do we love this concept so much? Is it because of religious ideology? Is it simply because we love to be both hopeful and terrified? And what are the best interpretations of these characters in film?

Also this week, Netflix DVD coming to an end, Max begins, Star Trek: Section 31 and Galaxy Quest returns, our review of Evil Dead Rise, and another go-round of our game, How Do You Survive?

Who has does the best building of worlds and mythologies in your eyes?

With John Wick: Chapter 4 and Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves hitting theaters, we felt it was a perfect time to dive into what does it take for a film or TV series to excel at world building or creating a mythology? It's become much more prevalent these days as so many studios want their own expanded universes... but who does it the best?

Also on this episode, Vertigo gets a remake, Jonathan Majors runs into trouble, PETA takes on Amazon, review of Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and we take a bit of time to see which classes WE would be in that particular game, plus a lot more!

What did you think of the 95th Annual Academy Awards?

For this special Oscars 2023 wrap-up, Aaron and Amanda are LIVE from SXSW 2023 to discuss the events, speeches, and winners of the 95th Annual Academy Awards, including a noticeable lack of professional slapping.

The Academy Awards (“Oscars”) are the most prestigious awards in filmmaking and showcase some of the greatest talent and work in motion pictures for that running year. The nominees and winners are selected by majority vote from members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Ballots are cast by members from within the industry and, in most categories, represent the corresponding branch (ex.: actors nominate actors).
