Summary
After PTA’s ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER reigned supreme on the show’s Top 10 Films of 2025 roundtable, Adam and Josh vowed to give the film the Sacred Cow treatment ahead of the ‘26 Oscars. Days after it received 13 nominations – including Best Picture and Director – that’s just what they did. Plus, a few thoughts on those nominations, and the most challenging Massacre Theatre in the show’s history (or so Adam would like you to believe).
This episode is presented by Regal Unlimited, the all-you-can-watch movie subscription pass that pays for itself in just two visits.
