The 94th Academy Awards are almost here! They’ll be taking place on Sunday, March 27th at 8PM on ABC. To prepare you all for Hollywood’s biggest night, Jack Mahanes and I will be going through all 23 categories and give some quick predictions for who or what we think will win. Keep in mind that at the time of this recording, the Cinema Audio Society (which went to DUNE), the Producers Guild of America (which went to CODA), nor the Writers Guild of America (which went to CODA and DON'T LOOK UP) had not yet chimed in with their award winners. So some of what we discuss in this particular podcast is probably dated by now. Follow Jack Mahanes on Twitter: @JackMahanes If you love this show, please leave us a review.

Dan O'Brien is a playwright and poet with an uplifting story that is chronicled in a new collection of essays that has just debuted titled A STORY THAT HAPPENS. He is married to improvisational comedian Jessica St. Clair. The couple had their daughter and were thinking that with Dan’s book and plays and Jessica’s sitcoms and work, they were living out their dreams. That was until shortly after the birth of their daughter, Jessica was diagnosed with breast cancer. With her sitcom and new baby, she was in the fight for her life. It was a trying time and through it all, Dan was by her side. As Jessica rounded out her final treatment, Dan called to tell her that he was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer. It was a double whammy of fear and gearing up for another literal fight of their lives. Dan beat the odds and the two are still here to offer guidance to all of those who have kids and have to navigate fear, grief, positivity and work. I had the great pleasure of interviewing him about all of this and more. Fol
