The nominations for this year’s Academy Awards are out - or ‘Oscars’, if you will.
We know you need some guidance when you stagger into the betting shop, bottle of gutrot in one hand, fortuitously discovered fiver in the other. In this very special podcast we give you the scientifically proven methods you’ll need to pick Oscar winners like a.. er.. winner!
No show notes this time out because, well, that’d kind of spoil things, wouldn’t it? For your convenience though I’ll list the nominations we focused on right here, to save you having to go look and also to help you decipher some of our very, very poor pronounciation.
Oh, by the way - music is a clip from Blackmail Drop, by the Grey Boy Allstars, off the soundtrack to the underrated Zero Effect. You should watch it.

Or, ‘The One Where We Forget The Names For Everything’.
It seems as though New Year took a heavy toll on us at Tagline HQ, and between Al’s jetlag and my… er.. fading braincells, we manage to forget the names of just about everything in this podcast. Actors. Movies. Book titles. The lot.
Still, I managed to cut out most of the ‘umms’ and ‘errrs’ so it all looks super-smooth. The magic of editing.

A blast from Tagline’s past as a SPECIAL BONUS PODCAST!!
Way back in November 2002… when the iPod was just an itch in Steve Jobs’ pants (Well I didn’t own mine, anyway)… and when Al and I were (shudder) co-habiting in furthest West London… we sat down for no apparent reason after we’d been to seen Die Another Day, and decided to record our thoughts about it.
So basically, we did a podcast before we’d even heard of the term. God-damn, we were cutting edge back then. Now it’s all walking frames and DVD rentals.
Anyway, if you’d like to hear more rambling from us about the last big Bond flick before Casino Royale, this podcast is for you. Please bear in mind that we didn’t have clue what we were doing technically - no change there then - so there’s occasional microphone craziness. And plenty of normal craziness.
Enjoy, and we’ll be back with a bang-up-to-date podcast number eight before you know it.
