  Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California, this is the Broski Report with your host, Brittany Broski.

• 0:45Brittany Broski?

  A never-ending midnight sun. A never, a never-ending midnight sun. A, a never-ending... That was impressive. Midnight sun.

• 1:19Brittany Broski?

  Hello, hello, hello, guys. Yo, hello. Hello, everybody. Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Vanity Fair Oscar Broski Report. What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck? Okay, I have to get something off my chest really quick that's been weighing on me. Let me just kind of get, I'm gonna get straight into it. There's no hee-hee-ha-ha, let me do some bits. Let's get straight into it because there's something that I did. Oscar Sunday, Sunday night, that I owe it to you guys to say that this happened. And also, I need to get it off my chest because I think I embarrassed myself. And I have eyewitnesses who said I did it, but that doesn't negate the feeling.

• 2:04Brittany Broski?

  You know what I mean? Also, my head looks like... An egg. I think that, uh, Sunday went pretty well. Sunday, here's what had happened for people who don't tune in to anything else. Uh, which like, I don't know why you would, you know what I mean? Broast report is more than enough, Brittany, you could ever need, ever. So, Sunday was Oscar Sunday, which we will get into my Oscar predictions and also the Oscar wins, and we will discuss because, T, and also this is one of the first years that I have watched every single Oscar nominated movie, and I feel very good about that, okay? Um, usually I've seen about fifty, fifty percent.

• 2:46Brittany Broski?

  This year I've seen them all. So, about two or three months ago, I get an, an offer, okay? To co-host the Vanity Fair Oscar Party Carpet with Jake and Quinn. And I was like, this is a huge deal. Like, it's a hu- this is the party. And like, how would I have, I didn't know that, right? Cause I haven't been kind of in that world. That's not my world. And now with like Royal Court doing its thing and like, I feel so much more at ease in this job. I've really like, settled into the warm bath of what Royal Court is, which is

• 3:27Brittany Broski?

  humanizing these celebrities and yes, that is weird and we can dissect that some other time of like, I am such a hyperactive.

• 3:38Brittany Broski?

  Sorry, had a little, had a little mucinex attack. The mucinex monster was actually in my throat. He was ping ponging between my tonsils. As such a hyperactive fan of so many things, it has been strange to be like, let me lock the fuck in, right? Like, the Harry of it all is, I think, number one example of that of like, okay, but when it's time to do the work, let me do the fucking work. So with that in my mind, I was like, I'm ready to do this because the nature of this carpet is like, it's people arriving from after the Oscars. So like the Oscars end, people go home and change, do whatever, and then they come to this after party. And so I'm like, okay, Vanity Fair is obviously an iconic legacy publication.

• 4:23Brittany Broski?

  It's very legitimate. This party was at LACMA this year. Very fun, right? And it was a star studded event. And I was like, you know what? Hell yeah, I can do that. I can do that. And so I co-hosted with Jake and Quinn. Yes, but they were together at one end of the carpet and I had my own little section right at the entrance. So people would literally turn the corner and someone from Vanity Fair would go up to them and be like, do you want to do an interview with Vanity Fair? And then, you know, it was either yes or no. And we got a great selection of people to talk to. So I had my little station. I talked to so many people. I talked to some Oscar noms, which is just gag.

• 5:06Brittany Broski?

  And I feel very, very like proud of myself for it, but the nature of like who I am and what I do and like, I want to keep doing this for a very long time and I just want to keep getting better. So kind of immediately after, you know, the next morning I had a big call with my team and I was like, okay, what, what can I improve? And we had a big, you know, constructive call and it's like I, you don't get better or keep getting these opportunities by being like, oh, well, that was good enough. You know what I mean? Like, I think that there is this innate ability there to just be a conversationalist and open that door for like, let's talk about something stupid and fun.

• 5:49Brittany Broski?

  And then how do you take that and mold it into, you know, what Conan does? By the way, let, okay, so let's, let's talk about it.

• 6:00Brittany Broski?

  I had to interview Conan O'Brien, which I did not think he would say yes. And they come over, they're like, Conan said yes. I said, is he, like, was that a joke? Was he making fun of you? He said, oh, he said yes for real? Oh, oh, right. He came over and I'm looking at my cards and I'm like, these questions are so fucking dumb. These questions are so dumb. So I'm already in my head like, okay, okay, sure, let's just fucking do it. He comes over, he is a monster of a man, very, very tall, um, very pale, very reflective, you know, with that kind of pallor of skin. And I know that because I have it myself. So we were just kind of reflecting back to each other and it was something very, very, um, um,

• 6:45Brittany Broski?

  ghostly. It was something very Victorian, very haunting, you know, no one should be, it was very vitamin D deficient. So he's there with his beautiful wife and I start asking them questions and he's, he says, are you insane? Like, these questions are awful.

• 7:05Brittany Broski?

  And I said, yeah, and would you, would you be appalled to know that these were the approved questions? So we kind of riffed on that because that's funny. Because I asked him, you're playing the, the toy in Toy Story five that teaches people how to go potty. Okay. Do you have any bathroom etiquette for tonight? And he said, that's the worst question I've ever heard. And I said, you think I don't know that? Hey, you think I don't know that? Anyway, we talked back and forth and we had a little banter going and then he went inside and I literally, like, thank God there was a gap after that because sometimes it would be like, you know, celebrity, celebrity, celebrity, celebrity, and then no one for 10 minutes. And so, because it was just when people were arriving and so Conan walked inside and I literally, like,

• 7:50Brittany Broski?

  hey! They cut the cameras on me, they go back to Jake and Quinn, and I genuinely start to cry. I mean, it's immediate in those moments. Who the fuck else did I cry? There have only been a few people that after I talk to them, like, I hold it together and then I cry immediately after they leave. Obviously, Harry was number one. This is a long time ago. This was Barbie premiere era before she went fucking cuckoo bananas. Nicki Minaj. Girl, what is going on with that? What is going on with that? That is so upsetting. It's so disappointing. To just turn on a community like, oh, I can't even talk about it. Anyway, that was one. I interviewed Nicki at the Barbie premiere before she went cuckoo. And that I cried after, because I'm like, wow.

• 8:35Brittany Broski?

  But I, that woman is gone. You know what I mean? Which is just, that's, it's devastating. Anyway, I cried at the, I went to this Hollywood Reporter event where Robert Downey Jr. sat next to my table. I did not speak to him. That was when I told you Drew had dragged me over and I said, I'm

• 8:53Brittany Broski?

  and I ran out the door. That, I teared up there. And I didn't even talk to him. I just, he was just there. Um, and then this was probably the fourth, uh, talking to Conan O'Brien. He had left and then I had literally teared up. And I said, don't you go fuck, the lashes are gonna drip down my face. So, talk to Conan. That was amazing. Uh, Conan genuinely liked to have a moment. Royal Court has a lot of inspirations for both the interview style, the aesthetics, the approach. And it's, I think, a beautiful blending of everything that I really admire. Conan's wit, his comebacks, how intent of a listener he is.

• 9:36Brittany Broski?

  It really, really inspires me. And that is decades of stand-up comedy and hosting. I mean, he hosted his show for 28 years. Like, that is a, a well-earned, hard-earned skill. And I'd like, that is, that is my North Star, you know, someone as sharp and as quick as Conan, like, that's, that's where I want to be. That mixed with a bit of, you know, Sean Evans research intensive question style, mixed with obviously the Game of Thrones Renaissance fair aesthetic, mixed with a bit of Between Two Ferns, Zach Galifianakis, but it's not as much as like a Z-way, you know, where it really is like, I'm harassing the guest almost in a comedic

• 10:21Brittany Broski?

  way, of course, but like, you know, if you come on the show, you're gonna get kind of beat up. I don't want Royal Court to feel like that. I want it to feel like an even match, you know, like if we are punching, we're punching at each other, not down. So, yeah, that's, it's all of those things kind of swirled into one. And so Conan being a part of that formula is just, it was, it was very, very surreal to get to talk to him. So after that, we wrapped the carpet. I talked to so many incredibly iconic people. And then after that, we wrapped the carpet. I went back to my green room and I kind of just like sat down and let my gut out for a second because you stand there for four

• 11:01Brittany Broski?

  hours sucking in your gut. And then I, uh, we went into the party and I have about 55 margaritas. I have about 55 margaritas. And I mean, just one after another, because I was like, I gotta catch up. Everybody here's been drinking since 8:00 PM and it's now 11. So let me catch up. And so I go in, I have three back to back, which was stupid because I hadn't eaten since about 3:00 PM.

• 12:41Brittany Broski?

  And so I have about three back-to-back, and then we start doing our rounds. I say, I start saying hi to people. Hi, how are you? Oh, my God, hi. You know, I get talking to some people. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, no, I'm not gonna say who it was. I'm not gonna say who it was. But this is an event where, you know, get drunk, have fun. They're passing out In-N-Out burgers. I saw some celebrities where I was out. Oh, I didn't know you had it like that, like a bit messy. Like, they were also doing 55 margaritas. So that's why I felt a little bit less shameful of what I'm about to tell you. After probably about the 45th margarita, we're walking around, me and my friend Elizabeth, who works for me,

• 13:24Brittany Broski?

  and we're, we're kind of, you know, doing the rounds. And I see Jack O'Connell.

• 13:31Brittany Broski?

  Okay. Okay. I see Jack O'Connell. And he had one, he wore the fangs to the carpet!

• 13:43Brittany Broski?

  He wore fangs to the carpet, hey? And not like, oh, it's grills, it's fangs. He wore prosthetic fangs to the, I need him. I don't give a fuck. I need him. SAS Rogue Heroes is one of my favorite shows, okay? And I've talked about it on here before. It's just some random show that I think is on BBC something. And I only started watching it because Jack O'Connell was in it, okay? He plays Patty Mayne, who is this like off the, he's off the shits. Like, he plays a rogue hero. I mean, they are completely batshit crazy for, and it's based on real life people, but of course it's dramatized for television. And also, yeah, it's a World War II show.

• 14:27Brittany Broski?

  And yeah, it glorifies war, which I don't love, but I love the acting in it. Okay. And guess who else is in it? Tom Glenn Carney, our House of the Dragon best friend. So I go, I see Jack O'Connell, okay? And I'm, I'm thinking like, y'all remember how intense that Jack O'Connell phase was for me? Like, he, it was something very, very visceral. And I see him across the room and I say, oh, let's bet that's Jack O'Connell. Like, that's, he's actually right there. And we had to walk by him to go to the door because we were about to leave. I go, I've had about 45 margaritas. My left eye is wandering.

• 15:09Brittany Broski?

  If there was ever a time where I would have the courage to go up to Jack O'Connell, it's now. And I wasn't gonna do some weird shit. I was just gonna say, oh, you're, oh, you're in that World War II town here defending the, I'm drunk, I'm in his ear, you're defending the British Empire, which I know you didn't want to do that. I know you didn't want to do that because you're an Irish. You played an Irish, they called you Patty and you're not to be called in to defend the British lines in France. I'm drooling. But I know when you were there, your dad died in the show. Remember that? Your dad died and they wouldn't even let you go home for his funeral because you had to go

• 15:52Brittany Broski?

  to the British front lines in France or hold down the Western Front. And I know that we had a storm on the beach, I know. So I'm sorry about your dad, but also you're awesome. You're awesome at that show. And when you made them do, like, I just spelled it off, plop.

• 16:11Brittany Broski?

  Holding him hostage. You know, my, my friend Ian calls people like that, punishers.

• 16:20Brittany Broski?

  People who hold you hostage punishing you. And usually it's like, it's funny. It's funny. Okay? And obviously I didn't actually do that. I only did it a little bit. I only did it a little bit. Okay, so I go up to him. I go, Elizabeth, I'm gonna do it. She goes, okay, go do it. And I said, okay. I'm holding my shoes in my hand. By the way, I'm fucking barefoot at the party. I'm barefoot at the gig. The bottom of my feet are black. I go to Jack O'Connell, forty-five margaritas deep, and I say, I just need to tell you, S A S Rogue Heroes, I love that damn show. I said, and you know Tom Glenn Carney? That's his co-star of the fucking show. He goes, yeah. I said, yeah, did you see his play?

• 17:03Brittany Broski?

  And he was like, nah, man, I didn't make it out to London to see it. I was like, yeah, me either. I was in London. All right, so I'll let you know, I'm a huge fan. You have a great night.

• 17:18Brittany Broski?

  And he was looking at me with this expression like, uh huh? Oh, yeah. Also, fully interrupted a conversation he was having to tell him that. S A S Rogue Heroes, you're fucking awesome as shit.

• 17:33Brittany Broski?

  You, you blew up those planes. It was fucking awesome. Anyway. I know you're like, your family's Irish, but you're from Derby. You're from Derby, eh, oh, me dog, right, Jack? God, those are some good times you and I had when I was watching your YouTube videos. Eh, oh, me dog. Okay, bye, Jack O'Connell. Like, get your fucking head in the game, bitch. Having forty-seven margaritas at the Oscar party? You need to be serious. I was like, I'm a professional, I'm a professional, I'm a professional. Saw Jack O'Connell. Shit my pants.

• 18:11Brittany Broski?

  I'm professional. I'm talking to all these people. Hi, how are you? So I was, oh, we'd love to have you on the show. That kind of thing, right? I'm networking, I'm networking. I see Kyle, Kyle McLaughlin. Hi, my love. That's, that's family. I'm running around. It's crazy too. There's so many, there were a bunch of Royal Court alumni. Uh, at this party. So that's a really cool thing to be able to be like, how are you? Since the last time I saw you, which is gag and it's stupid and I shouldn't be able to do that, but for some reason.

• 18:41Brittany Broski?

  Yeah, sure, I can talk to Paul Meskow, I can talk to Kyle McLaughlin. No problem, those are my friends. Jack O'Connell?

• 18:48Brittany Broski?

  There's shit in my diaper. I just loaded my diaper. I loaded my diaper. I need to go to the bathroom and Elizabeth needs to wipe me and then I need to go home.

• 19:00Brittany Broski?

  Washed my Michael B. Jordan and I had the wherewithal to be like, I'm not gonna bother him. That is my best actor. That is my 2026 Oscar winner, best actor. He was surrounded by like Miles Canton and some of the other cat, Del Roy, and then a bunch of the other cast of Centers, a bunch of just random people. Obviously, like, he's gonna be surrounded all night. And then you see that crazy video of he went to In-N-Out? And there, everyone was like, damn, let him eat. But I also know he wanted the Instagram picture. Okay, and I, I respect it, cuz those pictures went crazy of him at In-N-Out with the Oscar on the table, eating the burger. Bitch, that's like, get the photo. You know what I mean?

• 19:43Brittany Broski?

  Anyway, I see him and I'm like, obviously, I'm not gonna bother Michael B. Jordan. The MBJ, I'm not gonna do that.

• 19:53Brittany Broski?

  So that was something I did that kind of I had humiliated myself. Um, I had asked Conan, what are your, what are your bathroom habits? Probably won't do that again. But those are the two moments, right? Like, out of the four hours that we were live and the whole day of prep beforehand, we had a rehearsal the day of, like, it was a lot. And it was chaos. The carpet was chaos because you never know who's coming. The, the, some of the tech was like, they were having some issues, but they fixed it. It was just, you know, you gotta roll with the punches. This shit's live. You gotta go, go, go. And, uh, I feel very proud. I feel very like surreal and out of body that that happened. And thank you to gabapentin and my doctor for kind of, you know,

• 20:36Brittany Broski?

  making sure I can get through those moments. But you know what? Let me tell you something. I took a gabapentin. At like 4pm, the carpet wasn't until 7:30 and I feel like by that time it had worn off. And I just locked in, like it's, I don't know if any fellow theater kids feel this way. I am so fucking nervous before something like that starts and the minute it starts, baby, it's flow state. Baby, I'm here. I'm going, going, going, going. It's like memorizing lines or anything like that that requires a performance, even on Royal Court, I feel that way. I get so anxious before we start, just because it's the unknown. And then once you begin, you know, whatever happens,

• 21:19Brittany Broski?

  happens, at least we're here, at least we started. It's also nice in those moments to be the host. Like you are in control of the vibe, but if it starts to go south, you can, you can pick it back up, you can redirect, you can, you know, I think it works. I'm a Taurus, I'm type A, I'm what, like I can, being in control of that vibe actually really works out well for me. Cause if it was the opposite and things started to take, that's why I do that anyway, as a guest, if I'm a guest on something and, and the shit starts to go south, I redirect. Because I'm a control freak, okay? Anyway, it's nuts. This is a skillset I never, ever, ever, ever thought that I would use. When I was at the bank, when I was doing insurance, like what the fuck?

• 22:03Brittany Broski?

  I never pictured myself as a conversationalist, as someone who was like, yeah, tell me your life story. And now it's like, yeah, I guess that, that was just a sleeper dormant skill that I had. So it's pretty awesome and I feel so lucky to have my writers, Annabelle and Sabina Michki, who like, they get my voice and we collaborate on, you know, what would be best for this scenario. And they begin it and we finish it together and it's just like such a beautiful, wonderful, soulseeing collaboration. And then Stanley, of course, and Elizabeth and my whole team.

• 22:43Brittany Broski?

  I, I'm just so fortunate that I have so many funny, kind-hearted, normal, I say that in quotations, people around me that, that just get it and they understand both the traditional sphere and the chronically online sphere. You know, it's like when to, when to turn it off. Okay. I also need to mention that in the span of this four hour livestream, I talked to two victims of, um, fanfiction. Actually, multiple, but two, two that come to mind. And that is Taran Egerton, sorry. And that's also Tom Blyth, sorry. Okay? I'd like to apologize to both of those, uh, young men because, uh, yeah. And Tom Blyth knows.

• 23:30Brittany Broski?

  And Tom Blyth knows. So hi, hello, Tom. Apologies, seriously, from, from Team Broski. That's my fault, okay? I've talked about him in a way on this podcast that sends a chill down a lesser man's spine. Okay? And he confronted it head on. I was like, you know, Tom, I've said some stuff about you on my podcast and I'd just like to apologize. And he was like, yeah, yeah, it's been sent to me. So, uh, very, very kind. Thank you. I was like, yeah, I don't know if it was kind. It was more like caveman.

• 24:04Brittany Broski?

  After I saw the Hunger Games movie and he did that fucking Quinn audio, I came on here.

• 24:11Brittany Broski?

  And here I'm gonna be like, so Tom, when you're getting in the mindset for, like, be serious. Like, be serio- sometimes I feel like two kids in a trench coat. Like, how did they let me in here? When I'm on here like, oh, ah, oh, ah. And then I'm like, so Tom, tell me when you get in your mind of when you do play a movie. How different is it really when you get in the? Like, who, I feel like he gave me a grace I did not deserve.

• 24:41Brittany Broski?

  Same with Taran Egerton. When I tell you the Kingsman movies, hey, the Kingsman movies, the Oden John movie, there are so many things that dude has been in where I have like, he was the lock screen on my iPod Touch. Do you understand? He was the lock screen on my iPod Touch. And now I'm like, hmm, Taran, yes, tell me. So there was a bit of that where we had some. Some fanfiction heroes cross my desk and I am just having to come face to face with my own, you know, my own actions, my own, um, actions that were based in horniness in

• 25:25Brittany Broski?

  the past. And that's just, that's part of it. You know, that's, that's part of it. And it's so funny to think that like, that's, I'm at an age now, turning 29 this year, where I don't know if that's acceptable anymore. I don't know if it was ever acceptable. So having to kind of deal with that. And that's not fun, but it is hilarious ultimately. And objectively, it's very funny. If I'm like, I used to, I used to make ape noises on my podcast to you. Anyway, nice to meet you.

• 25:59Brittany Broski?

• 28:27Brittany Broski?

  Okay, let's talk about the Oscars. I'm gonna pull up my predictions. I did two separate things where I said, I did one for who I think was gonna win, and then I did one of who I wanted to win. Okay, so we'll go through both. This is who I thought was gonna win. Actor in a leading role, I picked MBJ. I picked MBJ because I believe in hope. Because I believe in hope! And he fucking won! I felt very good about that, okay? And I feel like the SAG Awards or the Actor, what is it called now? Guild Actor Awards kind of were a predictor in that.

• 29:11Brittany Broski?

  So absolutely the biggest congratulations to MBJ. Actor in a supporting role, I picked Sean Penn. One battle after another, I do believe he won. Actress in a leading role, I picked Jessie for Hamlet. Actress in a supporting role, I actually picked Teyana Taylor, but I think Amy Madigan won, which, period. And we'll talk about weapons in a second. Casting, I picked One Battle. That's who won, right? Best Picture, I picked One Battle After Another, which like, duh. And then, but, but, and this is who I thought was going to win, okay? We'll get to my, my favorites next.

• 29:55Brittany Broski?

  For directing, I actually picked Cinematic Value, but I think Paul Thomas Anderson got it, didn't he? Costume design, I picked Frankenstein. Cinematography, I actually picked Train Dreams. And I can't remember who won. Was it one battle? Oscars winners. Oh, no, no, no, no. Best Cinematography was Sinners. That's fucking right. Makeup and hairstyling, I picked Frankenstein. Okay, there's so much to say. Sinners? This is my opinion. I saw that shit multiple times in theaters. There is something, there's a rewatchability to it. There's a timelessness to it. It does not feel dated or like it ever will be dated.

• 30:38Brittany Broski?

  Like, they really did something very magical and very special. That blending of cultures, um, uh, DJ scene, the dance scene. I have chills thinking about it. Like, when you create a moment like that in cinema, I feel like it was a collective. Everyone was like, mm-hmm. You know, like, yeah, mm-hmm. And Sinners won Best Score, which, yeah, by the way. Fucking yeah, by the way. For film editing, I actually had picked Marty Supreme, but Marty Supreme didn't win anything, so... And then international feature film, I'm pretty sure Cinematic Value won, right? Oh, no, wait. Best Sound was F1. I'm geeking.

• 31:23Brittany Broski?

  Casting was one battle after another. Best Original Screenplay was Sinners. Sorry, score and screenplay. That kind of had confused me. I can't read too well. Y'all know I can't read too well. Okay, yeah, those were the winners. Here were my, who I wanted to win, okay? Actor in a leading role, MBJ. Actor in a supporting role, look, okay? Y'all know I am the biggest Frankenstein stan. I, I was addicted to that movie. I still think it is quite the feat. Uh, like, all of the, um, what's the word? It starts with a P. P, uh, uh... Like, when the set design is functional. You know what I mean? Fuck, what's the word?

• 32:09Brittany Broski?

  I don't know, but that, you know, like the ship in Frankenstein was fully inside and outside and like it moved and I like everything was real and it was, the word escapes me. I thought that that deserved some form of, you know, acknowledgement. I also, I picked Frankenstein as cinematography. I picked it as costume design. I picked it as makeup and hair. I picked it as production design. And I picked it as sound because I wanted it to win. I wanted it to win. And I think that the best supporting actor and best supporting actress categories were

• 32:54Brittany Broski?

  completely stacked. Like it, you know, I, I kind of would have been happy with any of them winning. I think what Jacob Elordi did was fantastic. And I think that all of the prep that went into it and it, you know, from all these interviews and, you know, respecting the process, like the studying he did of, of the, you know, movement of reanimated corpses and all these different modes of research that him and Guillermo kind of partnered together to create the creature with, even down to how on certain parts of his head, a different color hair was growing out. You know, like I appreciate all those details.

• 33:38Brittany Broski?

  I really do appreciate it. I just think that for best supporting actor, he was, it was too stacked. So I actually picked Stellan Skarsgård. But yeah, I think what Jacob did was fantastic, but I, I think Stellan Skarsgård in sentimental value, I, I would have liked to see him get it. Okay, actors in a leading role, obviously I wanted Jesse, Jesse got it. Actors in a supporting role, sentimental value fucked me, girl. It fucked me up. And the sister who plays not Nora, Agnes, that scene where the sisters are in the room and she gets up on the bed and they hug and they're crying.

• 34:21Brittany Broski?

  Something like tore in me, like something, something shifted. So I actually picked Inga for sentimental value. But I also would have liked to see, um, one me from Sinners. I think that tho- like those were my two top picks and I, you know, it's like whatever happens, happens, but those two movies were so special to me. There were so many of these movies that I was like, I genuinely enjoyed. You know, sometimes it's like with the Oscar movies, it's like, all right, Oscar bait. Oscar bait, Oscar bait. And maybe that makes me sound like a fucking dilettante. I don't know, but this was like, it was very hard. And, and it really came down to what were the nuances of the performance that I really was like, okay.

• 35:07Brittany Broski?

  So I'm, I'm happy for Amy Madigan. Fantastic. And Weapons scared the fuck out of me, bitch. I had never seen Weapons. I watched Weapons like two nights before the Oscars. Cause I was like, wow, a horror film nominated? I know The Subsons was nominated last year, but that feels like rare. You know what I mean? For a, a horror movie, especially one as original and cool as Weapons, to be nominated and to have made such an impact on culture. You know, like people were going to St. Gladys for Halloween and they were doing the run and what like that's, that's cool, especially for a horror film, uh, that wasn't memed. You know what I mean? Something like Megan or like any of these movies that have been memed.

• 35:48Brittany Broski?

  The Babadook, the Babavay, like it's just, at what point is it still a feat of cinema and not a meme? So I will say I did not know in Weapons that they had ripped her meat bag open. Okay, no one had told me at the end that they, they go ahead and they rip her meat bag.

• 36:11Brittany Broski?

  When all the kids go, they go, ah, and they rip her jaw open. I was horrified. They had flayed open her flesh sack. I was like, oh my God, oh my God. Crazy, that movie is fucking crazy and I liked it. It was a witch. I love that shit. Practical ma- practical effects. That's what I was trying to say earlier. That's what I was trying to say earlier. Practical production design. Everything is like, it works, okay? Casting, I picked Hamlet because whoever casted those children.

• 36:51Brittany Broski?

  Those kids, oh my god. And of course, like Paul and Jesse, their chemistry was just, I can't believe it. It, there is something about picking people who have fully convinced me they are a family unit, you know, and not this, it's, it's one of these things of like, spoiled for choice. Every single movie, I was never pulled out of it by anything, you know? So casting, I picked Hamlet. Best Picture, I would have liked to see Hamlet or Train Dreams. I loved Train Dreams. We have to talk about Train Dreams. Train Dreams, for me. I know it wasn't as flashy as some of these other movies. I

• 37:33Brittany Broski?

  know that it didn't get a lot of press, or, you know, people weren't really talking about it in the same way that they were Hamlet or whatever, but like, y'all know that I personally am a sucker for the movies that make you feel thrilled and happy to be alive despite the sorrow. In spite of the sorrow. And that actually, the sorrow is what makes the joy so bright. Any movie that has the full spectrum of the human experience, I am going to freak out about. And there's this scene at the end that I actually, I can't think about for too long. He's had everything taken from him, yet he goes on. He rebuilds. He gets

• 38:18Brittany Broski?

  a dog. He goes back to, you know, the same plot of land that the tragedy happened on, and he's an old man at this point. And he, we're getting into like the 40s, uh, or is it? It's like the, the 20s, 30s, 40s through his life, and he goes up in an airplane. And bitch.

• 38:41Brittany Broski?

  I was snotty crying and it's not even like it's a sad movie but it's it's one of those it's like oh I just oh what a gift is it to be alive what the the the eternal gift of life oh my god how we take it for granted oh my god so many people so many people we've lost that we want here today that it's like we need to live for them and by living in sorrow and and walking in sadness you do them no honor you do them a disservice by not living your life to the fullest so i- i- this was one of those movies where I was just like oh my fucking god I loved Train Dreams

• 39:25Brittany Broski?

  and I loved Hamlet obviously if we're talking about best picture for a drama I don't know girl Hamlet Hamlet

• 39:38Brittany Broski?

  but then it's like what was my favorite movie right I my favorite movie is between Frankenstein and Sinners but what did I like in my heart of hearts Hamlet versus Train Dream so I don't know um for directing I picked Chloe Chloe's out for Hamlet because it takes such a special relationship between a director and you know everyone else on the set but specifically the actors to accomplish what they accomplished with Hamlet Hamlet and I just think that that should not go unnoticed even hearing about you know they had dance takes or they had silly takes to

• 40:19Brittany Broski?

  balance out how heavy the subject matter is in that fucking movie so I think that that she deserves her flowers like over and over and over again cinematography I picked Frankenstein costume design Frankenstein uh international feature film sentimental value writing original screenplay Sinners I did pick Sinners cuz fucking duh I cannot believe he wrote that shit and direct I just Ryan Coogler I am I am in awe um writing adapted screenplay Frankenstein there's a theme here visual effects Sinners

• 40:56Brittany Broski?

  And Avatar one, I'm pretty sure. Sound Frankenstein, like I said, from the like shifting of the when he's pushing the boat and for like all the sounds the creature makes and all the like, I don't know, just the lab and everything I was. But I understand, you know, that that's my pick. Production design Frankenstein. Uh, music, original song. I know the K-pop Demon Hunters won one. I have not seen K-pop Demon Hunters and I know I'm probably missing out on a huge part of pop culture. I picked I Lied To You because that was my favorite fucking song. I picked Sinners because that shit, that soundtrack dude. I can't like, I'm gonna get mad. You know what I mean? Like I'm actually gonna get mad.

• 41:39Brittany Broski?

  And then in the same vein for original score, I also picked Ludwig for Sinners because everything I have very rarely, and albeit I'm not, I'm not a film bro. I'm not, I'm not a film bruh girl. But I do enjoy, Stanley made fun of me the other day. He was like, because I was having a conversation like this with him, you know, I was like, well, I just feel like the technicalities or whatever. And he was like, dude, you would love cinema. You'd love movies. You should start watching them. I was like, you know what? You're actually so fucking right. Anyway, I think that music is such a huge part of what makes a movie. An experience, a viewing experience versus just people on a screen and Sinners

• 42:23Brittany Broski?

  and and blues music. And the way Ludwig duh, the way Ludwig and Ryan Coogler collaborate is something out of a dream. It is something so flow, like they just hit a flow. They they speak each other's language. You know what I mean? It is just a seamless blend of here's my idea. Okay, I'll take it from here. You know what I mean? I just, I'm in awe of it. And Sinners. If if I had my way, Sinners and Frankenstein would have won every single award. However. Okay. And then makeup and hairstyling, I picked Frankenstein. So those were my picks for who I wanted to win. Just out of my personal preferences. But.

• 43:06Brittany Broski?

  Congratulations to every single person that won. I think this year was so much fun. We were watching it from the green room. I had it set up on my phone like at the after-party because I was like, obviously, we need to know who won to riff on it and to, you know, if any of these winners come in. So I'm not just like, so if you would have won, what would you like? I just didn't want to. And we were watching it and when MBJ won, bitch, everyone screamed. Everyone shot up out of their chairs and was clapping and it was MBJ won, MBJ won, MBJ won. It was so good. And then one battle, one best picture. Everyone was like, yeah, yeah, that was expected. So very, very, very eventful, very fun. This is the

• 43:49Brittany Broski?

  first year I've really been, you know, plugged into the mainframe of the Oscars and it's very fun to celebrate art and cinema and theater, you know, because it is a form of theater in, in this current landscape and, and we never ever want to undervalue the importance of these type of movies and the themes that we see and relevance and timing and, you know, things like a carpet. And you may think it's not a time to make a political statement, but it is, you know, and it's just, it's a lot of fun, but it's also, it can be very heavy. It can be, it's very important. These, these events and these moments in

• 44:31Brittany Broski?

  these films are very important. Representation is very important. And there were so many wins this year that were just historic, monumental. I have chills thinking about it. It's, it's, it was amazing. It was amazing to witness. And the energy on the carpet after was just, I've never felt such infectious joy by everyone. Everyone was excited to be there, you know, just, it was, it was really, really fun. So thank you to Vanity Fair for having me. Thank you to my whole team. Thank you to Broski Nation for if you tuned in. I did not expect y'all to tune in, but wow, thank you. And the clips are cute, you know, and, and I'm, I'm excited to keep doing things like this because I want to keep getting better.

• 45:14Brittany Broski?

  And I think that's important. You know, if you want to do this for a long time, like I, I want to keep getting constructive criticism and, and doing better. So if I was a male director, just in the, in light of the Oscars. If I was a male director, I would have a crazy pair of glasses. Okay, to be a good director, and they don't tell you this, you have to have a crazy pair of glasses. And they have to be a thick frame, or they have to be some crazy shape, and you have to have a hat. You have to have one of those silly hats, and by silly, I mean newsboy cap, what's it also called? Flat cap, uh, patty cap. That's what my, my Irish friends call it, a patty cap.

• 45:59Brittany Broski?

  And I think that's funny, because yeah, it is. So, I would, if I was a ma- actually, me now, I'm gonna shave my head, and I'm going to wear a patty cap, and I'm gonna have a crazy pair of glasses. I'm not gonna pluck my chin hairs from my PCOS, and I'm gonna grow a beard. And I'm still gonna wear probably a push-up bra, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna put my, my big T S Madison boobs on the table, and I'm gonna have my patty cap, and I'm gonna have glasses, I'm gonna say, "The thing about animation." Okay, so that's what I'm gonna do.

• 46:32Brittany Broski?

  For Halloween, I'm gonna be Guillermo del Toro with big tits.

• 46:39Brittany Broski?

  For Halloween, the week of Halloween, I'm actually gonna be alternating between Sir Duncan the Tall, Egg. Egg on.

• 46:49Brittany Broski?

  Cause you know, for, for Egg, and also for Guillermo, like, I can do, well Guillermo has hair, actually. So, maybe just for Egg, I'll do the bald cap. Uh, for Guillermo del Toro, I'm gonna, actually, that's a hilarious Halloween costume, and none of you bitches better steal that from me. I'm gonna be, I'm gonna do his blazer and his little scarf that he wears, and the glasses that make his eyes a little bit big, and the, the hat, and I'm gonna draw on the beard, and I'm gonna walk around with a copy of Frankenstein. And that is fucking funny, bitch. That's comedy, mama. Yeah, mama, ever heard of it? I'm gonna be Guillermo del Toro for Halloween! Wow, I can't wait for Halloween, I'm so excited. Drunk, drunk and vomiting, dressed as Guillermo del Toro.

• 47:35Brittany Broski?

  Let's talk about Rosalía. La Rosalia is on tour. She opened, uh, the Luxe Tour last night. By the way, hung out with Lux Pascal at this event I went to recently. Mama, I love her. That, that's queen. I fucking live for her. We hung out and it was, we had a time, so. Hi Lux. Anyway, Rosalia, Lux. The, she's doing ballet! That bitch is doing ballet on the stage. She's doing ballet and singing opera. You bitches could never, your favorite could never, and I'm serious.

• 48:15Brittany Broski?

  Like, the reverence for high art to the point where she takes it. She says, "I fully understand this and I am now going to put my own creative and modern spin on it, and I'm going to regurgitate it back out to an audience where you will now recognize some famous opera riffs, dances, techniques." Because she has such an understanding and deep reverence for that art form. It's just like, that's what it's actually about. That's what it's about, and that's the shit I love. It gives me chills, it makes me horny, I can't believe it. Like, that we get to exist in the same time period as someone like Rosalia or Beyoncé,

• 48:57Brittany Broski?

  who also sings opera, who sings shit like Ave Maria in the midst of her setlist. Because it's important and because they are deeply interested and fans. They're fans of these types of art forms because they're eternal. They are evergreen, they are infinite, they are never going away, they're, they've survived centuries, okay? So, I think. Rosalia with Lux and with the album. I've been doing a lot of, uh, I've been watching a lot of her press. I think, obviously, she's so worldly and she is so intelligent and cultured, and it's clear she spent a lot of time traveling around the world and absorbing.

• 49:41Brittany Broski?

  She's been a sponge for the last few years. And to do that and then, you know, squeeze the metaphorical sponge out on, to the, to the, uh huh, to the table, to the kitchen counter of music. She's taken her sponge and she squeezed it out into the counter and now she's rubbing it all over, okay? I think that, uh, oh, I was gonna say, I watched her Fashion Neurosis, okay? If you're not familiar with Fashion Neurosis, it is a podcast slash show on YouTube, uh, hosted by, I feel, I'm eighty percent sure it's Sigmund Freud's fucking great granddaughter, or Sigmund Freud, Sigmund Freud's granddaughter.

• 50:24Brittany Broski?

  I mean, her last, her name is Bella Freud, and she's like a psychotherapist. So she sits there in the chair and interviews these people, but it's through the vein, it's through the lens of fashion. And I love, love, love, love that show. And the first question she asks, she has the guest lay completely flat, and there's a camera on their face, like, from straight above, and then there's a camera to the side, and then there's one kind of from down, and, uh, it's so intimate, in the best way. And there's also a truth and a freedom in not having to make eye contact with the person interviewing you, which I think is a fun, you know, psychology trick,

• 51:07Brittany Broski?

  of when these people are staring at the ceiling, and they've got their hands on their chest like this, and you're asking them some pretty deep questions about their identity, their upbringing, why they make the decisions they do, what they've done in their career to get them to this point. There is a freedom in just thinking about it and saying it, versus maintaining eye contact, or, you know, that kind of guarded vulnerability, if that even makes sense, of like, if someone asks you an intimate, personal question, the instinct is to look away. You know, like, let me look away and think about it and answer it, looking down, because it's soul-bearing to make eye contact with someone and say,

• 51:50Brittany Broski?

  "Here is who I am, and here is my truth." By removing that element, you get a more honest answer. So I just really, it was, it was tea. She did Fashion Neurosis, and...

• 52:02Brittany Broski?

  I I just it got to a point where I started taking notes. That's how much I love her. I got out a spiral notebook and started taking notes and I was like, do you know there are these rare moments when you're in in taking something, when you're absorbing art? Or when you're reading, or when you're listening to music, or you know, anything? That feeling of being seen so intimately by another person. They can be centuries dead, they can be alive today, they can be famous, they can be not famous, whatever. When it's like, it strikes a chord of, I think the exact same way of what you just said.

• 52:44Brittany Broski?

  And I have ne- how rare is it to think you under? It's one of those interlinking moments of we are more similar than we are different as humans. We have so much overwhelmingly in common, way more than we have different. And sometimes, you know, with with all the media that we consume in a day, it does not feel like that. Sometimes, you know, it's like we, the divide across the aisle has never been more vast. But it's really not, so it's stuff like that where when you hear a turn of phrase, or when you understand a concept, or what someone's trying to communicate,

• 53:25Brittany Broski?

  and it's communicated effectively to the point where you're like, I feel like I've had that thought before. Or I could have come up with it, or you finish the sentence, it's like this, this synapses happens and it's, but it's like, I struggle to explain it, you know what I mean? I can only explain it by this, this is stupid, but actually it's not stupid. It's only, it only sounds stupid now because I've read so much more than at the time I said this. One of the first times that ever happened to me was when I read George Orwell, George Orwell. I read, um, Why I Write, and I also read, uh, I, I, probably 1984.

• 54:08Brittany Broski?

  Maybe it was Animal Farm. I don't fucking know, but it was one of those, um, moments where either the way he had written something, or his line of thinking, you know, like his, his journey to get to the point he was making, is exactly how I think. Where I was like, this man's been dead for however many decades, and I'm sitting here in my house in 2025, reading this book, like, okay, twin, you know what I mean? Like, what a special feeling. I felt that way again when I read Oscar Wilde for the first time, where I was like, whoa. You could have plucked this out of my fucking brain, the way that, you know, his line of thinking went.

• 54:49Brittany Broski?

  Or the way that some dialogue was exchanged, or, you know, something that, uh, maybe he wrote in a foreword or in a, uh, nonfiction. It's just like, wow. And there's nothing more intimate than writing, because you can put things on a page and convey things through that medium that you would struggle to say verbally, if ever. If you could ever say it verbally, and it wouldn't hit the same. Because Cillian Murphy said this recently, what he loves about fiction specifically, and because I'm the same. I pretty much only read fiction unless it's a nonfiction by a fiction author that I like. He said that, how rare and special is it in this life?

• 55:31Brittany Broski?

  And, and I don't know how else you could get this other than through reading, to get inside the inner monologue of someone else. And he likes it as an actor, as an exercise in empathy, to put yourself in someone else's shoes. And that is the, the journey of fiction. That is kind of the, other than the point of entertaining, the point of fiction is to force yourself outside of your own head. You know, walk in someone else's shoes, experience someone else's story, live in their emotions. Decision make the way that they would, you know, try to understand their justifications, things like that. It's just. When those moments happen, it's like this is what life's all about. Like, I have those moments very frequently, actually, where I'm like,

• 56:16Brittany Broski?

  "This is what it's all about." Rosalia accomplishes that for me in a way that I have never, you know, it very rarely has it been so succinct and so like, "Jesus." So I just wanted to say that. Her fashion neuroses, I think I wrote some shit down. Here are some of the notes that I wrote, just as I was watching, and, you know, things that were popping into my head. I said, "The way she doesn't think twice about filling in her pensive gaps with Spanish." Like, she doesn't care. And sometimes she'll translate it, sometimes she doesn't. And I think that's so powerful, to just be like, she's fully talking in English, and then she'll be like, you know, a little phrase in Spanish, and she'll keep going.

• 56:59Brittany Broski?

  And that's just for her. I love that. And at the end of the day, you know, it would zoom out to the wide of just these two women talking. And I'm like, "This sounds stupid, but I hope you understand like the heart of what I'm saying of, this is just two women communicating in their unique ways, and they are still being seen and heard by each other." Albeit, Rosalia was speaking English to, you know, accommodate, Bella did not speak Spanish. So, yes, there's a bit of give and take, but at the same time, like, here are two women so solid in their identities, and they're exchanging information in a way that is so respectful

• 57:41Brittany Broski?

  and is so empathetic and is so free-flowing that I, it feels stupid to say, because that's how conversation goes, but it was just special. It was just special. When she would have these moments where she would just say something in Spanish, and then, you know, Bella's just nodding, because you don't have to understand every single word. It's the feeling of what she's trying to convey, which that exists outside of language. So, that was one thing I noted. Another thing is, Rosalia said something about exploding into your womanhood.

• 58:15Brittany Broski?

  Oh my god. Exploding into your womanhood. And she talks about the transition into her 30s and how life is just beginning. Like, the 20s are horrible.

  Your 20s are about figuring it the fuck out. And that's not an easy, clean process. And there is no final destination. You will never figure it out. But that's the point, is you are always trying. And eventually, maybe you'll get the hang of it. But there is no, I don't know what this pressure is. Well, I do know what it is. It's an obsession with youth and beauty. And how beauty is only tied to youth in a patriarchal society. So, when you exist outside of that, when you let go of that idea, you are fully able to exist as a woman, as a human, in a world that does not center male validation, does not center dressing for men, speaking,

• 59:15Brittany Broski?

  you know, in a way that pleases men, existing in a world that pleases men. I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. Life is so much richer and fuller than pleasing men. Men have bad taste! Have you ever seen what billionaires wear, bitch? Men have bad taste! So she said that, and then she said how she exists in the world now is better than how she existed in her 20s. So, period. If anyone's having some weird feelings about aging or getting older, just know that it gets better with age. It truly, truly does. Then, she described something that I wonder if anyone relates to. And, well, this is, she kind of touched on this, and I was like, I know exactly what she means.

  So this is what I'm talking about. Maybe I just have undiagnosed ADHD, which probably a lot of you bitches are gonna say, yeah. But sometimes... I feel like in order to start something, I need to understand the entire comprehensive history or like a starter pack before I even touch it, like before I even start it. For example, air dry clay, crochet, sewing, I feel like I'm not qualified because I haven't taken, I don't know the history of it. I don't know the history of, you know, all the different sewing techniques. I feel like I need to be exposed to literally everything before I begin even a beginner's course. And for that reason, it's paralysis and I

• 1:00:42Brittany Broski?

  fail to start. The Sylvia Plath fig tree metaphor. I fail to begin because there are so many things to learn that I'd rather just not learn them sometimes, but I want to learn them. I want to do it, but I get in my own way because if I'm not incredible at it at the first go, it's not worth doing. And that's like some gifted and talented, you know, burnout shit from elementary school that I need to work on and, and who fucking knows, but it's almost this fear of I'm, if I begin and I'm bad at it, I'm making a mockery out of that art form. You're also being taught by professionals, you know, not even professionals, but like I'm, I'm watching these girls sew on YouTube and I'm like, I'll never be that good. And I don't know, that's such a juvenile way of thinking,

• 1:01:27Brittany Broski?

  but I start anyway. I've started with clay. I've started sewing. I've started whatever. And like, it's not bad. And I have to remind myself that like, that's not, that's really not bad. I may not have the technique and the skill, but like I can get there. And that's what I did with no technique or skill. So what about if I keep doing, you know, like I have to give myself this pep talk, but that really, I just wonder if any of you guys relate to that because Rosalia said something similar of like, sometimes I, I don't know where to begin, which is normal, but it's almost this fear of making a mockery of the art form by beginning. Does that make sense?

• 1:02:08Brittany Broski?

  Anyway.

• 1:02:11Brittany Broski?

  Alright guys, I think that'll pretty much do it for me. What an eventful past weekend. I have about a million and seven other things to update you guys on, but that'll have to do for now. We have an official playlist for Broski Nation. It's linked below, there's also an unofficial one. My Songs of the Week, actually, it's Untitled by McGee, but also, I've been back into Green Chatton's solo project, Chaos for the Fly, and he's got a song called Fairlies, which is fantastic, and that's kind of been on repeat. I like the score and I like Fairlies from that album.

• 1:02:52Brittany Broski?

• 1:03:35Brittany Broski?

  This life is crazy. This life is fuck crazy. I can't believe I said that to the Jack O'Connell. I'm actually like... It kept me up last night. Like, it kept me up last night. You know what else keeps me up? When I tried to play the banjo for Marcus Mumford. Like, I don't... This job is a humiliation ritual and I will do it gladly, okay? Loving you guys. Have a great week. Sorry for the late upload. Today's Tuesday when I'm filming this, so it's gonna come out Wednesday. I love y'all to death. Happy St. Patrick's Day! Bye!
