Episode Description from the Publisher

From the biggest Oscars blunder in history to a museum full of nightmares and Mark Zuckerberg's latest onscreen reckoning, we have a lot to talk about. Newsweek Senior Reporter Lauren Giella and H. Alan Scott break down this week's biggest pop culture moments on the Parting Shot podcast. We kick things off with the Academy Museum's new The Horror Show exhibit in Los Angeles and why it's a must-visit for scary movie fans. Then we get into Aaron Sorkin's 'The Social Reckoning' and why tech movies about Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman always feel a little outdated by the time they hit theaters. We also look back at the 10th anniversary of A24's 'Moonlight' and that unforgettable Best Picture mix-up with 'La La Land' at the Oscars.Subscribe to the For the Culture newsletter: https://for-the-culture.beehiiv.comFollow H.
