<p>A discussion of 2020 Oscar favorites recorded a few days before the Academy Awards presentation. Featuring Lorenzo Vigil, Chase Bailey, Kate Jurdi, Todd Hunter, and Dennis C. Johnson. We really missed you for this one, Adrienne Montezinos!</p>

Prior to awe-inspiring and breathtakingly breathtaking cold Table Reads of magnificent scripts and fantastic screenplays, we usually discuss in some depth some aspect of the performing arts or arts in general or the arts industries or related life lessons, sort of a presentational brainstorming session with rounded edges and big chunks of chewy chocolate.
