Anatomy of an Oscar

1978: Episode 3-Best Sound


Listen Later

Be ready to blast some eardrums, members of the jury! For this week's case, your detectives are investigating the wonderful and strange world of sound at the 1978 Oscars! There is talk about how the dance sequences in The Turning Point lead to interesting use of mixing, how you craft an underwater world with The Deep, and get BIG and LOUD with Close Encounters. There's a lot of Jawa noises but no noise more concerning than listening to Dean rant and rave about his love of Sorcerer for 20 minutes.
