Movie That the Other 2 Got Wrong of 2024
Z: Megalopolis (Z = 1, E = 3, J=4) don’t know how E and J rated Megalopolis a 3 and 4, respectively. It’s worse than Madame Web, and that was one of the worst movies of all time. Anything above a 1/10 is criminal.

J: Baby Girl
Favorite Oscar Nom
Z: The Substance - Best Picture; pleasantly surprised that one of the most grotesque body horror films I’ve seen is somehow a Best Picture nominee.
E: Conclave - Production Design. The world of Conclave was my favorite part of the movie - it really drew me in and everything about it (the set, the colors, the lighting, etc.) was perfectly beautiful and completely mesmerizing. Glad to see the Oscars recognize that, but I think this will be a tough category to win.
J: The Substance
Most Excited for 2025
Z: 28 Years Later
E: Mission Impossible - the Final Reckoning
J: Paddington in Peru
