Members of The Contending gather to say goodbye to Oscars 2025 and react to the Oscars show: the winners, the speeches, and Conan. 

Oscars 2025 is over and done with, so The Contending team members gather to put it to bed in our annual Oscars Show Post Mortem podcast. We review the overall show and its many performance numbers. Also, we weigh in on Conan O’Brien’s first outing as Oscars 2025 host. The team also talks about the winners, the speeches, and our favorite moments of the evening. Finally, we look at the Demi Moore / Mikey Madison Best Actress race, Adrien Brody’s long speech, and Zoe Saldaña’s backstage interview room interaction.

We close the podcast with our Oscars Show Time Capsule. In it, we lock away the films and performances we’re most anticipating in Oscars 2026!

If you haven’t heard it yet, take a listen to our spin-off series, Desperate Housewives Revisited, where Joey and Clarence look back at the first season of Marc Cherry’s 2004 phenomenon.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
