Richard Alleva and Rand Richards Cooper, writers for the Catholic journal Commonweal, unite in WESU’s studio B for a rollicking look at this year’s Oscar nominees. There were no injuries.

[Notes from the cutting room floor: the interview was edited to fit the time slot. For the record, Richard recommends the Albert Finney portrayal of Winston Churchill in 2002’s The Gathering Storm. And Rand would like you to know that one of this year’s unfairly overlooked films is The Florida Project.]
