58 mins
Jan. 12, 2022
Somehow, Spider-Man: No Way Home is still the top movie at the box office. It has been at the top for four weeks, while Oscar-buzzy movies struggle to draw audiences. Now, there's a campaign to get Spidey nominated for Best Picture. But do superhero movies belong in the Oscar conversation? And after the passing of Bob Saget, Sidney Poitier, and Betty White, we discuss the way social media has changed our relationship to grief and celebrity. In this week's Drop It In The Group Chat we talk Encanto, Amanda Petrusich's piece The Decline of Yelling, and Keyla Monterroso Mejia. Segments Warm Up Question (Most baffling part of the Golden Globes twitter ceremony) - 00:02:10 Spider-Man for Best Picture - 00:07:30 Grief Twitter - 00:32:20 Drop It In The Group Chat - 00:41:20
