Hail Satire! With Vic Shuttee

The 2019 Oscars are just around the corner and we're reteaming with Wesley Moon to backseat filmmaker these pictures as Hail Satire! discusses the surprises, snubs and smart money for each of the major categories (picture, directing, writing, acting and animation). Can anyone stop the Netflix groundbreaker ROMA, or will the once favorite A STAR IS BORN come back into the picture. Will the controversies around GREEN BOOK or BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY mire them in a win-less night? Can Spike Lee finally land gold with BLACKKKLANSMAN or even, can BLACK PANTHER keep pushing the ceiling for superhero movies as do the impossible? Plus, where was the love for EIGHTH GRADE, SORRY TO BOTH YOU, CRAZY RICH ASIANS, or THE DEATH OF STALIN? From the fly over country in the gut of the American Southwest, this is Ebert and Ernie, Film Critics - performed by Wesley Moon and Vic Shuttee. Originally recorded January 23, 2018. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

Which came first: the idea or the rip-off? When that fact is too close to call, we usually assign this phenomenon the label of TWIN MOVIES, and there have been a lot of great ones - from ANTZ vs A BUG'S LIFE, from TRANSFORMERS to GO-BOTS, and the trilogy of GREMLINS, GHOULIES and CRITTERS - this is a trend indeed. Plus, a few more  under-the-radar original film recommendations from two big time fans. Originally record December , 2018. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.
