On this bonus episode I ask Oscar expert and regular guest Gordon McNulty to discuss this year’s nominated Oscar movies with a focus on sex & violence.

Follow Gordon on Instagram @fuck_it_dude_lets_go_bowling and listen to his podcast ‘The Lone Acting Nominees’. You can follow me on Instagram @firstlastshot.
