1929: First Joint Champion, Worst Joint Champion?


Listen Later

As we exit the 20s, we hit our very first Joint Champion. Erin, Claire, and Dan examine The Broadway Melody, first talkie to win Best Picture, and theorize that it won both Best Picture and the box office crown because the 20s weren't great at good choices. There are songs, supporting characters who should have resulted in lawsuits, and almost a plot or character worth caring about: as they sing at us over and over, it's The Broadway Melody.
