On this snowed-in virtual episode of The MalloryBros. Podcast, the guys kick things off with a weekend recap, including preparing for the storm, getting snowed in, and the chaos of the grocery hunt. They then address the continued tragedy in Minnesota at the hands of ICE before shifting gears to the freshly announced Oscar nominations. The conversation begins with the new nominees, then zeroes in on Sinners, which broke the nomination record with 16 nods. The Bros share theories on why, despite the historic showing, it may still fall short of winning the biggest awards.
From there, the discussion turns to Kanye’s written apology and why it is valid for people to still feel hesitant about rushing back to support him. This opens up a deeper conversation about parasocial relationships, fandom, and how community loyalty can sometimes pressure fans into forgiving their favorites for anything out of fear of losing that shared space.
The guys also break down A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb, where they feel Rocky missed the mark on his return from hiatus. To wrap it up, Terrell reacts to the Broncos’ loss, Terrance celebrates the Seahawks’ win with A-Train, and the Bros give their Super Bowl predictions.
