The road to the 2026 Academy Awards is heating up, and the predictions are already flying. In the latest episode of “See It or Skip It,” film critic Patrick Beatty sits down with fellow Utah Film Critics Association members Rebecca Frost and Kent Dunn to break down the films that could dominate Hollywood’s biggest night.

Plus, reviews for the highly anticipated “Project Hail Mary,” the indie film “Undertone,” and a throwback look at the fan favorite “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze.” From awards speculation to pure movie fandom, the discussion covers what’s generating buzz right now and what audiences should keep on their radar.

It also marks the end of an era, as this episode serves as the final ABC4-hosted “See It or Skip It” segment produced during Beatty’s time at ABC4. Like any great movie ending, though, it feels less like a goodbye and more like the setup for the next act.
