AVA asks what should have been nominated in the 2010s

While Erin and Claire are away, Dan is left unsupervised, and thus takes us on a journey through the remaining years of the 2010s, looking at popcorn movies (often if not only big hits) that perhaps deserved a Best Picture nomination... or at least deserved one more than some of the actual nominees. Dan argues that perhaps cinematic thrill rides and well-made spy thrillers* are as worthy of Oscar attention as mediocre biopics in which someone does a really good job of playing Stephen Hawking or Freddy Mercury, or that experimental gimmicks do not necessarily a Best Picture make... leading inevitably to Dan's Unhinged Rant about a certain 2014 nominee. Agree? Disagree? Listen in to find out!
