This week, we dig into the 2018 Grammy nominations and get excited about Cardi B and SZA, and ponder whether Jay Z's dad-rap LP 4:44 will win album of the year.

Also, there's plenty of streaming recommendations for the final month of 2017: Mudbound, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Cuba and the Cameraman, plus a new season of Black Mirror. And we unpack the curious promotion of Godless, which was advertised as a women-centric Western but is really about dudes fighting and talking to horses.

Oh and don't miss our discussion of the 1995 film Powder. We're throwing up links.
