    Knowledgeable Hosts
    Just discovered this show this week so I’m catching up but the hosts have so much knowledge and demonstrate a genuine interest and love for movies and the Oscars.

    Bored hosts
    While I appreciate their perspective, for a topic so fun these hosts have zero chemistry and seem just so terribly bored by their jobs.

    Great podcast about all things film and the Oscars
    I love discovering new film and awards podcasts. Sophia and Nick make a great duo. I am always impressed with the depth of knowledge of film history. I have a little soft spot for Sophia. Her love of the films from the 70’s, what I consider the greatest decade in cinema as well. We also share a common love for Faye Dunaway, Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Daniel Day Lewis, Altman, Scorsese, and PTA. Keep up the great work.

    When I listen to this podcast I’m in pure movie bliss! And now, I’m not alone in my love for the 70’s. And you just did Chinatown!!!! My all time fav

    Well put together, fresh, and engaging!
    This podcast is incredibly fun, organized, and purpose-driven with emphases on history and current events and how the two connect. Sophia and Nick have excellent chemistry. They bring their knowledge and analysis forth in ways that demonstrate that to educate is also to spread enjoyment for your audience. I enjoy hearing about their adventures on the way to screenings, during screenings, and after screenings, whether that be festivals or individual films on any given day. Their original, recurring segments and episode structure are a delight. Again, Sophia and Nick have great chemistry, and I love how it plays out when they discuss, agree, disagree, and share insights and ideas both individually and jointly throughout each season.

    Thank you
    Both for being so knowledgeable and respectful and also for having 2 of the best podcast voices around.

    Many podcasts focus on the hullabaloo surrounding a film instead of considering it thoughtfully. Oscar Wilde would be proud that the creators of the namesake podcast are simultaneously informative, concise, articulate and funny.

    Humble and knowledgeable
    It is so refreshing to hear people discuss the movies in a way that is so generous and thoughtful. So many awards podcasts are smug and everything they say is boilerplate it’s great to hear from people who are so passionate (and also sound nice) who have formed their own opinions. Their love of film is palpable and their taste is omnivorous. It really makes me more passionate and excited about movies.

    A good listen
    Sophia is so thorough and detailed and I really enjoy listening to her. I know Nick is still catching up on his film education but I appreciate the progress he has made and thoughtful commentary. Nonetheless a very good listen.

    Nick and Sophia are pure joy
    This podcast brings me so much joy. I tend to only listen to movie podcasts and this one is so great—Sophia and Nick make you feel like you’re joining your two best friends in conversation. Always fun and entertaining!

    Love Letter to Cinema
    Dear Oscar Wild, It’s hard not to be romantic about movies. In a time when it feels dire for the state of cinema. When it feels like true film discussion, criticism, and analysis is lost forever. Finding Sophia and Nick and their incredibly polished, illuminating, and entertaining podcast is a true inspiration and godsend. Cinema is not dead. It will live forever. Thank you Sophia and Nick 😊 Keep the magic going. Keep giving us more wonderful reasons to love movies. ❤️ Sincerely, David Metzger

    Fun and informative!
    There are more Oscar podcasts out there than ever before, but Oscar Wild remains one of the best. Sophia and Nick are charismatic hosts who put in the work and each have their own well-informed opinions. I’ve been lucky enough to be on Oscar Wild a few times and it’s always a joy. Keep it up!

    Sophia & Nick are ready for their closeup
    This podcast is brilliant! The chemistry between Nick and Sophia is charming, quick witted, and undeniable. For the uninitiated cinephiles, it’s an education on film, entertainers, and the business at large. Their diverse topics include director retrospectives, genre-specific drafts, and breakdowns on new releases. Casual movie viewers will truly go wild for this Oscars podcast! Sit back, relax, and unwrap any candies before listening.
