Hey Oscars fans, welcome to the 1965 Oscars for the films of 1964 — a year that had a lot of great films, some of which have stood the test of time… and then there were the winners.  

We’re kidding of course. Half kidding. But as you’ll hear ‘Tex” is not a huge fan of this year’s winner and would have preferred any of the other nominees (and another movie that wasn’t nominated) — while Bruce Vilanch supplies the context and support of the winner.  

So, what were these films and how and why did they win or lose out?  You’ll have to listen to find out.  And as always, there are lot of great film recommendations to add to your viewing catalogue!  Thanks for listening!
