The Shape of Water Review: Oscar Winner or Weirdest Masterpiece Ever?

Welcome back to Scene It All Movies! Today, the crew dives deep into Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning masterpiece, The Shape of Water. From its four Academy Award wins and massive box office run to wild plot holes, bizarre fan theories, and heavy internet lag from the "basement Wi-Fi," we leave no stone unturned!

Did this fish-god romance deserve Best Picture, or is it just the weirdest movie to ever win big? Tune in as we break down the creepy villains, hilarious one-liners, massive security flaws in top-secret government labs, and that very awkward family movie night.

Please excuse our audio sync and connection drops this week—Hawaii and basement internet gave us a run for our money, but the movie chat is top-tier!
