The May box office is thriving ahead of a summer filled with exciting blockbusters, having surpassed $1 billion for the first time since 2019. Sophia and Nick will definitely be reviewing those upcoming films in the following months, but on this episode, they’re taking it back to all of the new films they haven’t yet discussed this year. Blame a long Oscar season or a rich Cannes festival, but they’re back with an OW favorite, Nom or Bomb, to recap 30 films that have captured audiences so far in 2026. Which movies will they continue to talk about later this year and into 2027? Listen to find out!

Some of their favorite films won some of these big prizes, but listen to hear them break down more about why the jury awarded these and how the 2027 award race could shake out. Will NEON, A24, and Netflix be duking it out once again? They share all of this and more! Stay tuned for fun festival superlatives next week!
