SMC Pod #99: Best Picture winner CODA & the state of the Academy Awards

The Secret Movie Club Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, Craig Hammill) discuss 2021's Best Picture winner CODA (about a hearing-abled teen in a working class family of fishermen who are deaf) and their thoughts on the current state of the Oscars and the Academy Awards.  We briefly touch on the moment that seemed to cause more conversation than any of the movies-the Will Smith and Chris Rock slap-but mostly pass over that to discuss everyone's different feelings about the movies nominated, some people's sense that the Academy has lost its way, and what the future might look like.
