Josh, Garrett, and David sit down to digest the massive wins for Sinners and One Battle After Another. They unpack Ryan Coogler's masterful genre-blending, the jaw-dropping musical sequences in Sinners, and why waiting for the vampires to actually show up is the smartest thing the movie did. Then, they shift gears to PTA's chaotic, cross-country epic starring a buffoonish Leonardo DiCaprio, debating the film's wild pacing, stacked cast, and underlying themes. From glowing red eyes to hilarious critiques of "revolutionary" stoners, we're covering all the highs and lows.

In this episode of So Many Sequels, we react to the 2026 Academy Awards and everything that made the night feel just a little off. From the Sinners vs. One Battle After Another showdown to major wins like Michael B. Jordan, we unpack the biggest moments, snubs, and surprises. We also dive into Conan O’Brien’s hosting, pacing issues, and what the overall vibe says about the future of movies, streaming, and the Oscars themselves.

In 12 Angry Men, the entire story unfolds in a single jury room—but somehow it becomes one of the most gripping films ever written. This week, the So Many Sequels crew dives into Sidney Lumet’s 1957 courtroom classic and asks why this film continues to top “greatest movies ever” lists.

Josh, Garrett, and David break down the brilliance of its minimalist storytelling, from Henry Fonda’s calm but stubborn Juror #8 to the film’s exploration of bias, prejudice, and mob mentality. They also discuss the movie’s unusual production history, its Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, and how a 90-minute conversation between twelve jurors manages to feel as tense as any blockbuster thriller. Plus: jury duty stories, the 1997 remake with Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott, and why this film still resonates decades later.
