Let’s go back to: In honor of Oscar Isaac's birthday yesterday, let's go back to the most adorable meeting ever: when he met Room star Jacob Tremblay at the Golden Globe Awards this year. 

Why it means something to you or to our podcast: It's no secret that my co-host and I have an unconditional love for Oscar Isaac and his Star Wars character Poe Dameron, but we've also recently discovered our love of the adorable little personality of nine-year-old Jacob Tremblay.  For someone who is so new to the spotlight, you can tell that he is easily getting used to charming the pants off of all who meet him.  If you want to see what we mean, check out his Instagram account.  You'll quickly fall in love with him too.

Where can you find it now? While the pair meeting was only captured with a picture, the young star went on Jimmy Kimmel Live and recounted his experience meeting Poe Dameron himself.

The Artist: Andy Grammer

The Song: "Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah)"

Where you heard it first: I can't remember when the first time I heard this song, but I want to say it's when he performed this song on Dancing with the Stars last season.  I heard this song again during the Red Carpet Special on ABC before the Academy Awards last week and have had it on repeat on my iPod since then. 

Why it’s been stuck in your head: This song is super-catchy and the upbeat songs that Andy Grammer releases are always fun to listen to.  I promise you won't regret downloading this song and listening to it on repeat.  It makes you want to tap your feet, sing along, and just enjoy and that kind of music deserves recognition during Music Monday.

Why you recommend it to our listeners: I've been crazy busy at work lately and for some reason, when I'm working really fast, this song puts me in an even speedier mood and it makes me happy.  I think you all should give this song a chance and have a good time while listening to it.

Things are getting exciting!  Did your ship make it to the Elite Eight?  If they didn't, it's not all bad news.  Remember, all the ships from the Sweet Sixteen this year will make up the "Returning Favorites" bracket next year!  So be sure to come back and vote next March!

The leading vote-getter this round was SasuSaku, who needed every vote to edge out Spideypool, our number two vote-getter.  Most of our races were tight ones, with only two ships receiving over 60% in their respective polls.  What will happen this round?  Vote now to determine our conference champions!

Elite Eight showdowns:
  1. Stucky vs Sterek
  2. Stormpilot vs Bechloe
  3. Korrasami vs Steroline
  4. Hollstein vs SasuSaku

Winners of this round move on  to the Elite Eight!  Remember, polls close March 7th at 12 PM PST.  And polls are set to allow you to vote once an hour regardless of what you're doing, so you don't need to do this cookie/incognito business I see people talking about :)
