## Resource

For episode 283, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes. This time around, Myles has seen Project Hail Mary , so we have a substantial discussion about that one. I've already been clear about my love of it, both on a prior episode of the show, as well in my rave review here , but now we get to go back and forth about it. I also give my thoughts on They Will Kill You (reviewed here ), which is a lot of fun. Awards-wise, we look back on my year in advance Oscar picks from last year (here), as my predictions for next year begin to drop tomorrow. Throw in your questions and we get around to a lot here, that's for sure... As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 283rd one to date (here’s to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab ( here ) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!
