We kick off 2025 with the grandest award show in modern cinema: The A24 Oscars! As the A24 rocks crew finished watching the 2018 year of A24, they will now give out the golden coveted Oscar Isaac awards to the best writers, directors, actors/actresses, and films of the 2018 year of A24. They've also added an extra category from previous years, that is similar to a razzy, and that is "the worst film of the year." The formula is simple: each critic has a vote, and the film/actor/actress/writer with the most votes takes home a life-sized statuette of Oscar Isaac. The A24 rocks crew finishes up with a mailbag.

Intro- 0:00 to 3:44.

Award Explanations, 2018 year vs 2017- 3:44 to 11:17.

Award Nominees & Winners- 11:17 to 1:05:52.

Outro & Mailbag- 1:05:52 to End.

Programming note- we will be taking a break to reset and refresh our movie reviewing minds. We will be back in march to start reviewing the 2019 year of A24, a year that includes The Lighthouse. Thank you for listening everyone, in the meanwhile, check out Eric's YouTube channel where he shares YouTube documentaries of Great Lakes folklore and history: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5bF8V4mnCps52XOR0tN0Lf__7uBuMj-k.

Christmas is next week, so the A24 Rocks crew decided to put aside the dark horrors about generational trauma, or the Thai prison dramas, or coming-of-age tales about anxious/depressed eighth grader's, or the thrillers about alcoholic pastors on a path of righteousness. Just to put you in that Christmas mood: they decided to discuss the most beloved (but maybe debated) Christmas action film of all time in Die Hard. John McClane vs Hans Gruber, Bruce Willis starring alongside Alan Rickman, is this the best action film of all time? Caution: movie spoilers.

Programming note: we will be taking a break for Christmas next week, and will be back on New Year's Day with the 2018 A24 Oscars. See you in 2025!

In Jonah Hill's directorial debut, he tackles the world of 90s skateboarding in southern California. Sunny Suljic plays a young boy growing up in Los Angeles, with an abusive older brother (portrayed by Lucas Hedges), and a single mom (portrayed by Katherine Waterston). He soon finds a clique of skateboarders at his local neighborhood skate shop, and all he knows is that he needs to learn how to skateboard, and join the community. The A24 rocks crew invites on 90s skateboarder and NIN super-fan Kyle Kanon to discuss the film's realism. Caution: movie spoilers.

Intro- 0:00 to 3:58.

Film Discussion- 3:58 to 1:24:35.
