FIRST 32:20 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict

AFTER 30:45 it's a full spoiler review

I'd argue we're likely done with the Oscar frontrunners now but we couldn't miss out on the Jeffrey Wright fronted Best Picture nominated American Fiction, and so we are giving it the See It or Skip It treatment. We discuss counter-stereotypes and anti-stereotypes and when does allyship overpower the voices that matter? Should Jeffrey Wright be discussed in the Best Actor shortlist? What is the unique angle for this film on this year? Where have we seen Monk's brother before? Now that we've seen the frontrunners, where do we sit with The Oscar categories this year? We'll answer all these questions on American Fiction and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
