S1 E1 The Shawshank Redemption

We're starting off by looking at the best picture slate for the 67th Academy Awards, celebrating films released in 1994. We chose this year because that's when we were born. Also, the films are pretty good. In this inaugural episode we're talking Shawshank.

The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 American drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont, based on the 1982 Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. It tells the story of banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), who is sentenced to life in Shawshank State Penitentiary for the murder of his wife and her lover, despite his claims of innocence. Over the following two decades, he befriends a fellow prisoner, contraband smuggler Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), and becomes instrumental in a money laundering operation led by the prison warden Samuel Norton (Bob Gunton).
