<div> <p>David and Devindra are joined this week by film critic Matt Goldberg to reflect on the winners and losers of the 2026 Academy Awards, unpack masculinity with <em>Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere</em>, diagnose the 2026 reboot of <em>Scrubs</em>, and look back on some of the best picture winners of the past. Then they reckon with the combined power of Quentin Tarantino’s epic <em>Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair</em>.
