![Oscars 2025: ‘Twas the Shortlists Before Christmas [PODCAST]](https://thecontending.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-17-at-10.30.10 PM.png)
We’re reacting to the recent drop of the 2025 Oscars official shortlists. What films missed out? What performed well? We look at all 10 categories and break things down for you. Then, we talk about what Christmas-adjacent films populate our viewing times this year. We’re not talking It’s A Wonderful Life but more films that might take place at Christmas but aren’t strictly about “the Spirit of Christmas.”
We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.
We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
