Blondes With Glasses!

Continuing our lead up to the Oscars, we sit down to discuss two of our highlights from this year - Hidden Figures and Moonlight. Both featuring Mahershala Ali and Janelle Monáe, these fantastic films make up for us having to sit through La La Land last week. We talk about directors that work with purpose, why the Oscars seem allergic to crowd pleasing movies, and cross our fingers that this year will be the first of many that rewards movies featuring actors of color. And, as always, we finish with recommendations for each other. Becca picks another Oscar nom, "20th Century Women" and Shannon picks Monáe's 2013 album "The Electric Lady."
