## Resource

For episode 290, I’m joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmys and TV Topics. This time around, we've got Oscar news in Conan O'Brien returning to host the Academy Awards, as well as more on the rule changes AMPAS has instituted. Some of your questions factor into those rules as well, alongside one that leads us back to talk about Ari Aster 's Eddington (my review is here , while my interview with Aster is here ), with Myles having just caught up with the film. I also talk about two new release movies, which are Driver's Ed (reviewed here and interview with director Bobby Farrelly here ) and Obsession (reviewed here ). We tackle plenty on this episode, so strap in... As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 290th 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!
