08.25.2020
Platoon, The Mission, and Hannah and Her Sisters AKA the 59th Academy Awards

08.18.2020
Intermission - Top 10 War Films
This week's intermission is all about war films! A genre of its own, Audrey and Corey discuss their favorites. As usual, Audrey breaks the rules and chooses war-adjacent films. But at least we both have good taste.

07.14.2020
West Side Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Judgement at Nuremberg aka the 34th Academy Awards
Audrey said, "why not Breakfast at Tiffany’s?" Well, that’s because WEST SIDE STORY dominated the 34th Academy Awards, celebrating films of the year 1960. It’s sexy, it’s snappy, it’s...very musical. On a more dour note we talk about JUDGEMENT AT...
