Season 7 of The Way Too Early Oscar Podcast is under way! Pop Break film editor (and Rotten Tomatoes Certified Critic) Marisa Carpico and Pop Break senior writer Matt Taylor return to discuss all the potential 2025 Oscar hopefuls.
It’s the season finale of the Way Too Early Oscar Podcast. As per tradition, Matt and Marisa are joined by the winner of our annual staff Oscar pool. This year it was a three-way tie between last year’s winner Kat Manos (Pop Break’s Music Editor), Dan Cohen (Host of Batman by the Numbers) and Pop Break Podcast Editor Alex Marcus. Alex was chosen for the pool based on his ability to do the best Anora-centric Brighton Beach accent.
In the episode Matt, Marisa and Alex discuss the 2025 Academy Awards! Were they charmed by host Conan O’Brien? Were they surprised by the Anora sweep? What did they think of Timmy’s yellow suit. This and so much more!
