On this episode of Entertainment Is Broken, the podcast I do with Sarah Hanlon, we break down the newly announced Oscar nominations, including surprise snubs, unexpected front-runners, and why horror films are finally getting serious Academy attention.
The episode opens with a sharp review of Mercy, a futuristic thriller built around an AI judge, total surveillance, and a ticking clock. Is it anti-AI, pro-AI, or just a confusing sci-fi experiment? Richard explains why it may be the ultimate hate watch… and a “seatbelt movie” in the worst way.
From there, they dig into this year’s major Best Picture contenders, including Sinners, Hamnet, Sentimental Value, Train Dreams, Frankenstein, and One Battle After Another. The conversation covers Oscar predictions, blockbuster fatigue, genre bias, and what actually makes a great film.
Also discussed:
Smart, opinionated, and funny, this episode is for anyone who loves movies, film criticism, Oscar season, and debating why some films deserve awards…and others deserve mercy.

From Southern Accent: Join us from 5:00pm to 11:00pm at Southern Accent (839 College Street in Toronto) with an evening of Hollywood fun hosted by former Southern Accent favourite bartender and host of CTV’s “Pop Life”, Mr. Richard Crouse.
Award season has kicked into high gear and the momentum is leading us to roll out the red carpet at Drake Commissary for Oscars 2018. On March 4, we are celebrating everyone’s favourite award show with television host and film critic Richard Crouse. The Oscar Party at the Commissary is an interactive experience with guests using the Oscar Poll on their mobile devices hoping their predictions pull-through.
We talked with Richard Crouse about Oscars 2018 and his predictions – be sure to take notes!
What are your Oscar predictions for some of the major categories this year? Which films or nominees are the ones on your radar?
Predicting winners is pretty easy. There are the signifiers of Oscar success. Who won the SAG Award? What movie scored big at the Producer’s Guild? You have a look at all that and make educated guesses as to which way the Academy winds are blowing. This is one of the rare years that the cold hard facts and my heart line up. Looks like my favourite movie of the year, The Shape of Water, will take Best Picture. In the Best Actress category everyone except Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,’s Frances McDormand might as well stay home. Darkest Hour’s Gary Oldman looks like a lock for Best Actor and, fingers crossed, Guillermo del Toro may get an Oscar to pair with his recent Golden Globe for directing…. READ THE WHOLE THING HERE!
