This week, Steve, Dana, and Julia discuss the 2019 Oscars. After months of controversy and backtracking from the Academy, how did the host-less show hold up? And in 2019, how much do the awards matter in the first place? Next, they debate the merits of The Other Two, a new series that follows the unglamorous older siblings of a tween who’s become an overnight viral sensation. Finally, Instagram is beginning to inform our approach to our living spacesrestaurant decor, and even architecture. The gabbers discuss how they feel about the phenomenon and what they personally look for in friends’ feeds.
