Episode Synopsis

In Episode 20 of Hate to Interrupt, we dive into awards season with our Oscar predictions for this year’s biggest categories. From Best Picture hopefuls to potential surprises, we break down who we think will take home the gold and who might get snubbed. Then, we take a turn into the world of Japanese cinema with a deep dive into Hideaki Anno’s Love & Pop (1998), a visually experimental and emotionally raw film exploring youth, loneliness, and societal pressures. We unpack its themes, unique filmmaking style, and why it remains a fascinating piece of cinematic history. Whether you’re an awards-season fanatic or a fan of thought-provoking films, this episode has something for everyone. Tune in for a lively discussion about the future of cinema and a hidden gem from the past!VHSGUYStop CultureTimJongUnGhoulif
