Hello and welcome to The Precap, a Daily Show podcast where we sit down with this week's host to preview what's coming up and what we missed the week before. My name is Devin Delacquanti. I'm a writer at The Daily Show and today I'm joined by this week's host, Desi Lydic. Hello, Desi.
Oh, Dev. Hello. I'm so happy to be here with you.
I'm so happy to be here with you.
Sitting all cross-legged and such.
You look very comfortable.
I feel very comfortable, and I know I'm putting my shoes on the furniture, and I just want to apologize.
We can throw that furniture out. It's fine. Don't stress.
It is in my rider.
That's good.
It's in my contract. Every piece of furniture I sit in, it gets thrown out afterwards.
A new comfy chair.
I want a new chair next time. That's very good. Yes.
Come by our studio. See a pile of chairs. Take them. Classic New York City furniture on the streets.
Yes.
That a celebrity sat on and got her grimy New York City shoes on.
Her grimy shoes on this faux leather.
So what's going on? It was a big week.
Oh, God.
I guess we'll start Oscar nominations. Oh, yes. Those were the big things of last week. Kind of a fun.
Yeah. Some fun, light, exciting news. Oh, it's so exciting. Well, I mean, I will say I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the nomination that I was expecting. Yeah.
Were you in any movies last year? No. All right. Well, that's probably the first problem. Well, you would think.
But if there's one thing that Trump taught us, it's that whoever does win the Oscar, I can just invade their territory and take it from them.
Or you can get them to give it to you because you deserved it.
Through manipulation. Yes. Yes.
And bribery tactics. Maria Karina Machado wins an Oscar. Wins that Oscar. I deserve that Oscar. And then she's like, I would like to present you my Oscar in honor of your acting.
Oh, me? Who, me? I hardly thought about it. I'd love to thank my agents.
Sure.
my entire cabinet that supported this move.
Very good.
So flattered.
So deserving. Yeah. So deserving.
What were you most excited about? Of the nominations that came out, what were you like, oh, that person deserves it?
It was nice to see Sinners break the record for nominations, I think. Huge. That movie was so kind of unexpected and you know I feel like the Oscar movies are always like end of the year but like it just I remember when it came out everyone's like oh you gotta go see it and see it in a theater and Michael B. Jordan's so great in it the music is so great like all the musicians who were a part of it are phenomenal and very like genre bending unexpected so it's nice to see a film like that celebrated one battle after another also great I'm glad so many of the performers in that got nominations and Paul Thomas Anderson. Such a great director. Incredible. So, yeah, I was excited about all that. And K-pop demon hunters.
I mean, I mean, come on.
Listen to that soundtrack a hundred thousand times in my car with my kids.
So even though your kids keep begging you to turn it off, you just won't do it.
They are bops and I will learn. They have to learn to respect them. Catchy music. Yeah.
Those songs are daggone catchy.
What do you say?
Well, also just celebrating people getting back into the theater, putting butts in seats, seeing movies the way that the directors intended people to see them. So important.
Yeah. And what movies did you see in theaters this year?
Not a one.
I have not seen one.
That's it. Yet. Yet.
