Operation Kino 102: Do The Oscars Even Matter?

This week on Operation Kino, we've got a tidbit from Da7e-- with special guest Sean O"Connell-- talking about the future of Spider-Man, and a tidbit from Katey about Spotify and getting back into the music. Then there's a Pop Culture Existential Crisis, in which we ponder the deeper meanings behind the Toy Story franchise. For segment 3 we bring in another special guest, The Film Experience's Nathaniel Rogers, to help Katey argue why the Oscars matter. All that plus a lightning round inspired by the DVD release of Atlas Shrugged Part 2.
