BFG Podcast #139: 'Griselda' and an Oscar preview

The Oscars are still a month away for some reason, but it's time for us to offer up our annual Oscar podcast preview episode. Stephen Garrett joins host Neal Pollack to admit that 'Oppenheimer' is going to run rampant over the major awards, though Neal offers up 'The Zone of Interest' as a value upset Best Picture picture and he and Stephen posit that maybe Sterling K. Brown's abs will defeat Robert Downey, Jr. for Best Supporting Actor. They also give love to Da'Vine Joy Randolph from 'The Holdovers' and Neal sort of persuades Stephen that Lily Gladstone will win Best Actress. In other news, 'Godzilla Minus One' got a nomination for best visual effects, but in a just world, it would have been nominated for Best Picture or at least Best International Feature.

But that's not all! We also talk about the amazing Netflix narco crime drama 'Griselda.' First-time guest Jenny Parrott joins Neal to praise Sofia Vergara's amazing performance, her amazing jewelry and lipstick, and all the amazing narco gun-battle action on the cruel streets of 1970s Miami. It's a top-notch drug melodrama with more than faint echoes of 'Scarface, and it gets the BFG podcast's highest signal of approval.

Enjoy the program!
