The boys discuss all things Disney: from Oscar winning film ‘Nomadland’, through final episodes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’ to reaction to Marvel Studios trailer that celebrates movies. They also mention Golden Globes losing their broadcaster and Noel Clarke accusations.

If you wonder why this episode is that long, the answer is short: they both (but mainly Conor) like to rant about things, even when they don’t seem to care that much. Luckily none of them needed to use a bucket to survive this long session. But the dog was really hungry!

A year and two months after the very first episode of The Block Busters hit the internet, two white males, Rado and Conor, talk about Oscars again! This time it's the 93rd Annual Academy Awards and they are even more passionate and relevant than before. Conor doesn't rant about anything special this time, but when Rado asks him about his blind love to Chloe Zhao, he reveals his true face.

We again mispronounce some names and titles. Not because we don't care, just because this is our style.

And we agree more that we disagree and that’s the biggest surprise of the evening. Bigger than Daniel Kaluuya's speech that left his mom puzzled.
