Podcast Episode 53: Winding Down: The 2014 Oscars "Resurrection" "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" & "True Detective"


You're busy. We get it. Not everyone can spend hours all day monitoring and watching everything in television and entertainment news. That is why Mike and Dave are here to do it all for you. At the end of every week we will wind down all the important things you may have missed in a week full of entertainment.

In this week's episode we recap the 86th Academy Awards (1:53) including Batkid's snubbed segment (4:38) and the feud between the writer and director of "12 Years A Slave" (10:00). We also wind down Resurrection's pilot called "The Returned" (14:10), the premiere of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (24:19) and the season one finale of True Detective called "Form and Void" (36:29). Finally, we explain our third annual March Madness bracket and who moved on to round two (54:11).
