Season 8 of The Way Too Early Oscar Podcast has begun 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 2026 Oscar hopefuls… and begin a bold new pivot into a fully EGOT podcast.
Marisa and Matt have a wide-ranging discussion through all four of the EGOT Award Show races. Find out which movies (and celebrities) Mat and Marisa saw at the Toronto and New York Film Festivals this year. Hear their thoughts on some of the fall’s early plays, and listen to them chat about recent album because they aren’t really sure what the Grammy race is looking like right now.
Tangents include: the wives in musical biopics, the way pop stars should be cringe sometimes, and how Matt has a big crush on a House of the Dragon actor but can’t tell you the plot of the show.
