The fourth episode of The Media By Us pan-media podcast, Talkie Talk – a very special episode.

In this episode, we have Brent, Chris, TJ and David go through an extensive town-hall style debate to see which movies should win in every category of the 2017 Academy Awards. The winners… may surprise you. The discussion… just may save your life. After the jump, winners of the discussion are posted – so only click if you want to ruin the surprise.

Later in the week, we’ll go back to our normal format (Homework, Watchlist, Main Topic).
