Giving in to what we’ve actually been obsessed with since the Oscars, we dive into The People v. O.J.

From there we talk about one of the most interesting movies of the spring so far, Jeff Nichols’s Mud, and make some truly insane predictions about what would win best picture if the Oscars were to happen tomorrow.
