Joey recently dove into the 2025 Oscars Best Actress race, which he called “Another Best Actress Bloodbath.” He brings that analysis to Contending at the Water Cooler along with a first time guest to the podcast: The Contending staff writer Frank J. Avella. We all dive into the bloodbath, figure out who are the nomination locks, and who lives on the periphery as the playing field becomes a little more clear.
We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.
We’re expanding the reach of our podcast, so we’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
