82 - Birdman

You know that awkward situation when you’re just making harmless small talk and suddenly the other person unloads years of emotional baggage on you? That’s what it’s like when you watch BIRDMAN and suddenly feel like you know waaaay too much about Michael Keaton. Listen to Alex and Julio discuss one more Best Picture Winner, one with gimmicks and pretension to spare!

- Julio is halfway through the first season of YOU and, so far, it’s addicting.

- Hans Rothgiesser, the man behind our logo, can be reached at @mildemonios on Twitter or you can email him at mildemonios@hotmail.com in case you ever need a logo (or comics) produced. And you can listen to him talk about Peruvian politics on his own podcast, NACION COMBI.

Up next, either GREEN BOOK, THE AFRICAN QUEEN or LONDON - a bonus episode no matter what! Until then, let us know how you feel about BIRDMAN! What do you think happened at the end?
