Nick reduces The Menu to "Rich people suck" after describing how unhinged it felt.

1. Cinema Scumbags Movie Podcast #177 is built around movies turning 10 in 2023, with 2013 as the central reference point. 2. Seth and Nick host the episode, and their film opinions matter because both frame 2013 as a year that changed how they watched movies. 3. The episode asks which 2013 releases still feel important a decade later and which ones have faded. 4. Seth says 2013 was the year he moved out there and started taking films more seriously. 5. Nick pushes the topic toward Boyhood by joking that the sequel should be called "Manhood." 6. Their opening stretch also touches New Year’s Eve, Sports talk, coffee, and the hosts joking about being homebodies. 7. Awards season becomes a major side topic once the Golden Globes come up. 8. Seth and Nick talk about Ke Huy Quan winning, Michelle Yeoh winning, and Steven Spielberg taking Best Director and Best Picture. 9. The Fabelmans, Elvis, Tar, Babylon, and The Good Nurse all come up in the Globes conversation. 10. They also mention Ryan Murphy thanking Steven Spielberg because Spielberg bought his first script. 11. Seth says Ke Huy Quan’s speech stood out because of what it meant to someone who had not acted for a long time. 12. They describe Spielberg as someone who does not need recognition, but whose win still felt meaningful. 13. The episode also turns to the idea of awards being more valuable when they match the actual performances and films. 14. Seth and Nick use The Menu as an example of a movie that surprised them with how far it went. 15. They mention the film’s misleading poster, Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, and the many suicides in the story. 16. Their 2013 rundown includes The Wolf of Wall Street, Her, Prisoners, The Great Gatsby, Snowpiercer, Gravity, The Conjuring, Enemy, 12 Years a Slave, and Inside Llewyn Davis. 17. The hosts keep the tone loose and conversational, with jokes about sexuality, movies, and award-season politics. 18. Their format is a back-and-forth ranking session rather than a formal review or interview. 19. People who like decade-later movie checks and awards talk will get the most out of this episode. 20. People wanting a focused, spoiler-free review of one film may skip it.
