Welcome to the first bonus episode that was recorded as a standalone episode! What does that mean for you? It means we're too lazy to make a whole new episode so we recorded this bonus episode to pat ourselves on the back and forget about this podcast for a few more weeks. But at least you guys get to enjoy one more round of Guessing How Moves End: Multiple Choice Edition. After last episode saw Sonny absolutely fail at guessing these, he seeks redemption in the bonus round of the exhibition match that means nothing. Very riveting stakes, I know. Will Tom be able to guess how M. Night Shyamalan's "Trap" (2024) ends? Will Sonny be able to guess how "The Circle" (I don't even know what year this came out and I can't find it online) ends? Only time will tell on this bonus episode.

See you soon! Hopefully!

A vintage AOFA concept that nobody liked is back! In late 2022, Sonny and Tom played a game in which they read the beginning of movie descriptions and attempted to guess how the movies ended. The concept was nice, but the outcome was awful. Today, wiser in the years that have passed us by like cars on a dusty highway, Sonny and Tom have revamped the concept with a new take. Instead of guessing together, one host who already knows the ending of the movie will present the other host with three multiple choice options for how it ends. And while this isn't an official game episode (it's simply an exhibition match), the concept certainly plays like it's a game episode. Which means you can play along as the boys try to guess how movies such as Spring Breakers, The Power of the Dog, Longlegs, and Megalopolis end.

Earlier, the boys encounter an interesting film in their opening segment. As they try to imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger playing Melvyn Douglas's role in the Paul Newman flick Hud, they realize that this movie is simply the Manchester by the Sea of its time. In the process, they discover a quirk in their rating system and learn that good and bad are both equally punished by the inevitable misery of life. Fun times on this show!

Welcome to a new year of An Oscar For Arnold! With prediction markets in the news these days, we thought it might be interesting if Sonny and Tom try to predict what will happen this year. We're talking about everything from Best Picture winner at the 2026 Academy Awards to the next celebrity couple, the next big trends, and whether Sonny and Tom will find love in the calendar year. So listen now and then follow our picks over the course of 2026 to see how much we nailed it. Will Timothée Chalamet win Best Actor? Will James Marsden experience a career renaissance? Will Helen Mirren be exposed as the leader of a celebrity drug ring? Only time will tell.

But time will quickly tell if the boys like today's opening segment, in which they imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger taking over Fredric March's role in "The Best Years of Our Lives." A movie that Sonny wants to see, so he forbids Tom from spoiling it and actually discussing the plot. Which might've been for the best, since it gave your hosts time to dive in to Fredric March's ridiculous character assassination in recent years, in which a club he was a member of with an unfortunate name caused his own name to be removed from a building for no good reason. Sonny and Tom get legitimately upset about this, as a man who was actually an outspoken civil rights advocate for his time is being unfairly labeled as a racist and nobody seems to care enough to do anything about it. Maybe this podcast will do something about it. That would require people actually listening to it, however.

Be sure to tune in next year when we check how our predictions went!
