The Oscar Race is finally entering into the critic's phase this week and we have added a new member to our show to not only help us with our discussions about the National Board of Review, the New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the Broadcast Film Critics Nominations but to be a part of all of our shows for the foreseeable future. Be sure to have a listen to get acquainted with this talented individual and their insight into everything film and Oscar. We also discuss and react to the trailer for Martin Scorsese's latest, "Silence."
