JAN 633: Director Tier List - Oscars Recap (03/18/26)
This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we recap the 98th Academy Awards, breaking down the biggest winners, surprises, and moments from Hollywood’s biggest night. We also cover the latest movie news, including Arnold Schwarzenegger teaming with Christopher McQuarrie for a new Conan the Barbarian film and the unfortunate cancellation of Hulu’s planned Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. Then we dive into a massive Director Tier List, ranking some of the most influential filmmakers in movie history. From legends like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, and Francis Ford Coppola to modern masters such as Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve, and Ryan Coogler, we debate which directors belong in the top tier of cinematic greatness. We wrap things up with What Are We Watching?, featuring a mix of new films and returning TV shows. ⏱️ Timestamps This week on the show! (0:00) Welcome to The Jock and Nerd Podcast!
