This Had Oscar Buzz
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
[1]This Had Oscar Buzz is an entertainment podcast hosted by entertainment writers Joe Reid and Chris Feil.
The podcast, which began in 2018, was inspired by the Tumblr blog of the same name, which tracked films that had, at some point between their production and release, achieved some degree of interest regarding potential awards, generating a form of "Oscar buzz", positioning them as factoring into the upcoming awards race in some way. However, for various reasons, the film failed to achieve any recognition by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The podcast is currently streamable through Apple Music, Stitcher, Google Music, Spotify and a variety of other podcast services.
New episodes are normally uploaded every Monday. To date, there have been 201 traditional episodes, not including special episodes.
Show Overview[edit]
Each episode is co-hosted by Reid and Feil and starts with the opening theme, a combination of the introduction to Every 1's a Winner by Hot Chocolate, a scene from For Your Consideration and a sound clip of "Fromcanadawater", taken from Salma Hayek's iconic (and oft-parodied) reading of the title of the Canadian film Water, at the nomination announcement for the 79th Academy Awards in 2006. This is immediately followed by a segment from the trailer of the film being discussed that week. This is followed by the lead host introducing himself and stating the show's manifesto:
| “ | Hello and welcome to the This Had Oscar Buzz podcast, the only podcast [reference to previous or current episode]. Every week on This Had Oscar Buzz, we'll be talking about a different movie that once upon a time had lofty Academy Award aspirations, but for one reason or another, it all went wrong. Their Oscar hopes died, and we're here to perform the autopsy. | ” |
This is then followed by a brief discussion and introduction to the film, with the other co-host (or the guest, in the case of an additional commentator being present for the episode) is tasked with providing a plot synopsis of the film in sixty seconds. The rest of the episode consists of banter between the hosts, who discuss the film, covering topics such as its production, the careers of the actors, directors or other individuals involved with the making of the film.
The majority of episodes end with The IMDb Game, in which the hosts challenge each other to name the four films under a specific actor or actress' "Known for" section on IMDb.
