36: Best Picture Nominees - PART 1

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bottle

How will our criminally verbose hosts manage to discuss all ten nominees AND ten bottles paired with them in a single, reasonable-length episode? (Spoilers: they will not. TWO PARTER, BABY!) Will Scott once again rant and rave about how distasteful he finds the very idea of the Oscars, or has he learned to accept them for what they are? Can The Wine Guy successfully explain pricing and economics in wine production, or will his co-host remain skeptical of Jamie’s pricier pairing picks? What words get bleeped on this show, and can Scott and Jamie explain why while those words continue to be bleeped? Don your finest ball gown or tuxedo, pop a cork on some bubbly, and press play for the answers (or not) to all of these questions!
