This is an interesting one. Darryl posits a question...does a film actually need a point? He's heard the criticism of folks asking, "What was the point of this movie?" and asks Laura if a film truly needs a point to make it good. And ohhh the hilarity that ensues. 
 
The films: 
Atonement
Juno
Michel Clayton
No Country For Old Men

2008 Best Picture Nominees For Films Released in 2007

Two friends get together to discuss the best picture nominees of each year starting in 1969. We discuss each nominated film in detail breaking down the technical aspects, character development, acting, story presentation, etc. But, we also chat about how they hit us...our emotional reactions. 

We try hard to let our modern filters fade and put ourselves in the mind frame of the year of release, but we’ll admit...it’s hard. 

So join us as we dive deep in these films and discuss whether academy made the correct choice that year. 

Feel free to join in the discussIO and agree or disagree, we only ask that you do so respectfully. 

Oh, and yeah...major spoilers for each film.
