As we prepare for the 2022 Academy Awards, we talk about two genre films up for Best Picture: “Nightmare Alley” and “Dune”.
THIS EPISODE: “NIGHTMARE ALLEY” (2021) AND “DUNE” (2021)
For our last episode celebrating our one-year anniversary, we invited our first special guest on the show. We had so much fun that we’ve got another friend joining us to discuss the upcoming Oscars. A couple of genre-adjacent films are up for Best Picture, and we discuss what we thought about them, their chances for award recognition, and what their inclusion means for genre films. Join us as we explore two remakes and novel adaptations: NIGHTMARE ALLEY and DUNE. Will Casey complain (again!) that Marvel wasn’t better represented? Will he (again!) sh*t on high art? Unlike this year’s Oscar nominations, there may not be any surprises there. But what does our guest think? Is he Team Lover or Team Fighter? Tune in to find out!
Watch the trailer for Nightmare Alley.

ABOUT THIS PODCAST
She’s a lover, he’s a fighter. Together, they’re CHEER AND LOATHING.
Tune in to hear your hosts, Stephanie (Cheer) and Casey (Loathing), clash over the films they love — and the ones they love to hate. With a new theme each month and related topics each week, they’ll make a case for the good and the bad; it may even get a bit ugly!
Stephanie (Cheer) is the Editor-in-Chief for Morbidly Beautiful, and Casey (Loathing) is the Program Director and host of the Ominous Origins Podcast.
New episodes of the CHEER AND LOATHING podcast will be headed your way every other Sunday. Be sure to follow us on social media for teasers, show announcements, and more.
