After taking a week off from the main show to drop the first episode of the new Game of Thrones season 2 ToB Rewatch, the guys are back to discuss more than just the goings-on in Westeros. The largest story of which is the announcement of the nominees for the 2019 Oscars. The dead of winter might be cold and unforgiving, but it also means that we’re in the swing of awards season, one of the most exciting times of the year for cinephiles. The ToB Crew unpacks the picks as they look forward to the ceremony in February. Julian, Dan, and Jeremy also examine the Ghostbusters 3 surprise, The Lego Movie 2 trailer, the shakeup with the Uncharted film, and much more on this week’s Tower of Babble Podcast!
