Bonus Episode: Oscars 2023 – Oscar Draft

We have another fun bonus episode and if you are either a Spotify or YouTube subscriber you’ll also get the video for this show. Brodie Cotnam and Alex Watson join Rachel and Dakota as they have an Oscar Draft. Now you’re probably wondering what an Oscar draft is, an idea inspired by the now defunct excellent show First Round Flick, basically you pick a movie nominated at the Oscars and for every award it gets that gets the picker one point. Whoever has the most points, wins!
