651: Recapping the 2026 Oscars

In this episode, we recap this week in pop culture news. Join us as we unpack the wins and losses of the 98th Academy Awards. From the expected victories to the “how did that happen?” snubs, we unpack the moments that made us cheer, cringe, and immediately text the group chat. We’re also talking performances we could’ve lived without and the red carpet looks that had us doing double takes—for better or worse.
