It's Oscars time once more and we have come prepared with opinions. From the various controversies and reversals from the Academy to Bradley Cooper's snub as Best Director, we are here to provide the definitive guide to the 2019 Academy Awards. This includes who we think should win, who is actually going to win, and who was egregiously excluded from the nominations. Join us this week and rage over an award show that is utterly arbitrary and seems singularly determined on doing everything wrong.

This week we're taking on the pretty extensive career of the angriest Welshman we know, Christian Bale. He's an actor best known for his dramatic chops, transformative performances, and strong opinions about professionalism. We'll traverse his filmography from his baby-faced days in Empire of the Sun and Newsies all the way through his most recent Oscar-nominated performance in Vice and determine which is the best performance of his career.

Join us this week as we take two great directors, Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro, and pit their films against one another in pursuit of determining the greater filmmaker.

Have you ever watched a movie that was totally different from the trailer? Or a flick you were confident was one genre and then turned into something unexpected? This week we're diving into movies that were mismarketed, either by misleading trailers, inept promotion, or downright deceptive advertising. We've got preachy dramas disguised as rom-coms, black comedies disguised as screwball stoner flicks, a space epic that no one knew about, and one bald-faced lie of a talking kangaroo.

Join us this week as we discuss the latest Hollywood news and gossip including the new Ted Bundy biopic starring Zac Effron, the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie being rewritten on set, and some absolutely outrageous Oscar nominations and snubs.

Love him or hate him, Jake Gyllenhaal has a pretty extensive film career for a man not even out of his 30s. From Oscar nominations to Roland Emmerich films, this better-looking Tobey McGuire has done it all. We start from the baby-faced, young Gyllenhaal in October Sky all the way through present-day, baby-faced Gyllenhaal in much stranger and more ambitious roles and determine, once and for all, his best performance ever.    What We're Watching: 30:07 *************NOTE: "Glass" spoilers galore lie beyond this time code **ADDITIONAL NOTE: It sounds terrible so it's better to find out now than after you've spent your money

With Glass just on the horizon, we here at Reel Phonies thought it would be a good idea to reflect on the ups, downs, and headscratchers that make up the complicated but surprisingly steady filmography of the one and only M. Night Shyamalan. We share our thoughts and insight on the hits (The Sixth Sense, Signs), the misses (The Last Airbender, The Happening), and the unclear (The Village, Split) and determine whether M. Night Shyamalan, as a concept, is better or worse than Michael Bay's Transformers. Is there a twist ending? Tune in to find out!

Avengers: Endgame will close out an 11-year, 21-movie master plan that probably started before Tom Holland was even born. But what's next? Aside from Spider-Man: Far From Home, the future Marvel cinematic slate is completely blank. That's where we come in. Join us this week as we make some predictions, speculations, and wistful nerdy dreams for what lies ahead for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We'll pitch stories and concepts for sequels for existing characters, like Captain America, and some new introductions, such as the long awaited return of X-Men and the Fantastic Four.

Join us this week as we break down the newest Hollywood news and rumors including Jon Bernthal and Vera Farmiga in the Sopranos prequel movie, 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg helming the Uncharted movie adaptation, and the newest but frustratingly vague Game of Thrones teaser.
