Get a load of those Oscar announcements eh?? That\u2019s right – they announced the nominees for this year\u2019s Oscar ceremonies, and you bet your sweet buppie we\u2019re gonna talk about that.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019ve got somebody great to talk about that with. We\u2019ve brought our old friend and annual guest: Jeff York! He\u2019s a critic and cartoonist here in Chicago, and a fellow member of our very own Chicago Indie Critics group.<\/p>\n

Just like Brian, just like Mark, AND just like Cati – Jeff is an annual friend at our yearly wrap-up, and Jeff\u2019s job is to rank the Top 5 Male Performances of 2025.<\/p>\n

Plus, we\u2019ve got a review of the new Matt Damon and Ben Affleck detective thriller: The Rip! For everybody wondering why we\u2019re celebrating Ben Affleck this month: here ya\u2019 go!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got some fun trivia. We\u2019ve got a capsule review of Mercy. We\u2019ve got it all boy, girls, and enbies.<\/p>\n

I love you all,<\/p>\n
