How to Fix the Oscars, feat. Daniel Joyaux

How to Fix the Oscars, feat. Daniel Joyaux

Bob and Brad set out to find a way to salvage the train wreck that is the Oscars telecast, especially in a year as controversial as this one. They're joined by film critic Daniel Joyaux, whose pitch for fixing the show is by far the best (and most feasible) one our hosts have heard yet. Along the way, they discuss the history of this group of people called "The Academy," as well as the telecast itself.

To hep fuel the conversation, our hosts sip four expressions of whiskey from Altered State Distillery in Erie, PA. Spoiler: the 4-year bourbon finished in stout barrels is absolutely worth a purchase.

Film Critic, Oscar Whisperer, Vanity Fair Contributor

Daniel Joyaux writes about movies with the kind of precision usually reserved for costume design nominations. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, his bylines have appeared in Vanity Fair, The Ringer, RogerEbert.com, The Verge, and Rotten Tomatoes, where he breaks down awards seasons, auteur obsessions, and everything in between. On Film & Whiskey, Daniel is our go-to Oscars expert—whether he’s sipping Glenlivet through The Last of the Mohicans or tearing apart Argo with an exceptional pour in hand. You’ll find him on Letterboxd obsessing over noir, Hitchcock, and which movies truly deserved Best Picture.
