We can’t keep Wina away, so she’s back again in this episode, where we look at the films and filmmakers of the 2015 Academy Awards! Mind you, we have not seen all of the films, so do not expect a predictions show of sorts. Rather, this will be an informal, slightly unguided and somewhat insane session of talking. Then again, that’s been the recipe for quite a lot of our shows as well, so no worries there. Check it out, enjoy and Happy Lunar New Year to all our listeners!
