This Week: For Christmas this year, Kevin offers a fit of rage at North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, Sony Pictures, and Paramount Pictures. What a bunch of pussies, the lot of them! With a trifle of movie news and the trailer park out of the way, Kevin lays into the North Korean fiasco regarding the film The Interview and why we as a country let a spineless, corporation driven by profit alone dictate our foreign policy. Kevin examines the Sony hacking and how the media and readers became puppets of a foreign dictatorship. Then he lays out the reasons why backing down from empty threats was one of the worst ideas ever. (Spoiler alert: This will not be the last time someone tries this nonsense.) Later in the show, Kevin reviews the new movies, including The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Annie and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. Finally, he offers some thoughts on the box office and the DVD Round-Up. Ho! Ho! Holy shit!

Art is subjective, as is the appreciation for it and the accolades thrust upon it. This is no more evident that during award season each year, in which every film critic, entertainment journalism outfit and average moviegoer throws in their two cents as to what were the best and worst of the previous year.
The Academy Awards are famous for the nomination snubs (such as this year’s snubbing of Ben Affleck and Kathyrn Bigelow for Best Director), but less remembered are the performances that should have won but didn’t. Reasons for this range from the age of the average Academy voter to the sheer politics of the industry.
