'Being the Ricardos' LIVE DISCUSSION! | Teacup For One Oscar Movie Marathon
8Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem and JK Simmons have all received Academy Award acting nominations for their performances in Aaron Sorkin's "Being The Ricardos", BUT does that mean it's a good film? And are their performances even Oscar-worthy? And does this film do justice to the legacy of Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, and "I Love Lucy"?
That is what we're here to discuss!
The Teacup For One Movie Club is BACK with the Oscar Movie Marathon: we'll be discussing a different nominated film each week leading up to the big night, with a panel of esteemed guests.
This week's esteemed guests include:

Welcome to Teacup For One, my name is Matt and I have two degrees!
Just like a great cup of tea, this channel is a blend of diverse and exciting ingredients: mix some Disney with some Shakespeare, a dash of Funko Pops, a splash of unboxing videos and the occasional travel vlog and you’ve got a Teacup for One.
This channel started as a Walt Disney World Resort vlog for solo travelers, and has evolved into a one stop destination for Disnerds of all kinds! Perhaps you want to find out Matt’s picks for the best character meet and greets at Walt Disney World, or see the ultimate showdown between Butterbeer (The Wizarding World of Harry Potter) vs Green and Blue Milk (Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge) vs LeFou’s Brew (New Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom)? Or find out where to find Disney World treats in Canada? Or maybe you want to hear about the Imagineering backstories behind the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, and how it may (or may not) be the foundation for a new cinematic universe (or SEAverse) incorporating movies based on fan favourite rides such as the Jungle Cruise, The Hunted Mansion, The Tower of Terror and more!
Even if you’ve never been to the Disney Parks, Matt loves talking about Disney movies! Keep an eye out for some fun video essays, looking at film analysis topics like why Belle is the best Disney character, why Cinderella’s dress isn’t blue, why the genie was Robin Williams’ best role....or fun Disney History videos like the time Matt tried to figure out Mickey Mouse’s real birthday!
But Teacup for One isn’t just about Disney, Matt also loves talking about William Shakespeare and seeing how the bard’s classic plays continue to influence our contemporary pop culture...did you know The Lion King has more in common with The Henriad than Hamlet? Or, perhaps, that Marvel’s Thor and Loki are perfect mirrors of Edgar and Edmund from King Lear? Or maybe you’re interested in Matt’s picks for the Best Shakespeare Films of all time!
And of course, if you’re familiar with Matt’s Instagram profile, the channel wouldn’t be complete without some Funko Pops! Every once in a while Matt will do an unboxing from one of his favorite Funko Pop retailers!
And of course let’s not forget about Teacup for One original content! So far we’ve had a Droid beauty pageant reality show (Droids and Diadems) and a four part Christmas webseries based called “# Scrooge: A Christmas Carol Webseries” based on the classic Christmas ghost story by Charles Dickens!
Whatever you’re a fan of, we hope this channel is your Cup of Tea!
