650: Oscars Rewind - Revisiting the 2021 and 2006 Winners

In this episode, we’re unpacking elements of pop culture that have us completely fooled.

In this episode, we recap this week in pop culture news. Join us as we unpack the wins and losses of the 98th Academy Awards. From the expected victories to the “how did that happen?” snubs, we unpack the moments that made us cheer, cringe, and immediately text the group chat.

In this episode, we’re strapping on the tinfoil hats for another deep dive into the world of conspiracy theories. Is Garth Brooks secretly a serial killer? What actually happened to that lady on the plane? And is there really a secret tunnel system lurking beneath the Denver Airport? Listen as we separate truth from internet chaos in our quest to figure out what’s real, what’s ridiculous, and what’s just algorithm-fueled delusion. Plus, we revisit the conspiracies we once believed to see if they still hold up after all these years.Relevant links: Our full show notes are at knoxandjamie.com/649Come listen to our new podcast Shelf Respect (now available wherever you listen to our other podcasts).

We discuss what’s worth a spring fling (smooch), what deserves your full seasonal commitment (marry), and what to bypass before allergy season fully kicks in (kill).
