This week's episode is all about the 1963 Oscars and its winner, Tom Jones. Haven't heard of it? Don't worry, you're fine—Matt and Marisa watched it for you. They also watched all four hours of Cleopatra, all three hours of America, America, and all two and a half hours of How the West Was Won. It's a huge year—and we haven't even mentioned one of the worst Best Picture nominees we've encountered so far. This is a must-listen-to episode, even if you haven't heard of the big winner.

This week's episode focuses on the 1941 Oscars, when How Green Was My Valley beat Citizen Kane for Best Picture. Most would say that Orson Welles deserved the top prize that year—do Marisa and Matt agree with Film Twitter? But that's not all, the hosts discuss an insane social issues melodrama, side-eye some propaganda from the era, and even get the chance to discuss Bogey, Hitchcock, and Bette Davis. It's an exciting episode packed with all the analysis (and tangents) you'd expect from a year with 10 nominees.

Alex Marcus (co-host of CinemaJoes and TV  editor at The Pop Break) marks the first guest of the second season, as he joins Matt and Marisa to discuss all the films of 1979. How has Best Picture winner Kramer vs. Kramer held up in the years since its release? Does Apocalypse Now still manage to impress in IMAX? And which notable actor from the year dated Marisa's mom? It's a year packed with classic dramas, star-driven spectacle, and some lesser-known gems (watch Starting Over, people!).

We're back with a new season and we're starting off strong as Marisa leads a discussion about her favorite movie: The English Patient. How has this controversial Best Picture winner aged and how does it compare to its nominees? Along the way, Matt gushes about Jerry Maguire, both hosts analyze a masterpiece from Mike Leigh, and, of course, discuss formative celebrity crushes. It's a jam-packed episode...not as long as The English Patient, but close.

Our last episode of the season is all about 1951—An American in Paris won Best Picture, but Matt and Marisa mainly want to talk about all the hot actors in the movies that year. Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire! Montgomery Clift in A Place in the Sun! Plus, of course, Gene Kelly! Along the way, the hosts talk about the questionable messages of sword and sandal epics, cast CW stars in remakes of classic films, and get a little emotional as the season comes to a close.

This week's episode is all about 2002, when Chicago won Best Picture. Marisa and Matt love this movie so much that they didn't want to podcast about it alone—so they're joined by George Hefter, host of The Best Little Horror House in Philly. Along the way, they talk about The Lord of the Rings, Meryl Streep, and Steven Spielberg. Plus: George drops an insane hot take about musical theater. You don't want to miss it.

Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, and Pulp Fiction are three of the biggest films of the 1990s—and they were all nominated for Best Picture in 1994. Matt and Marisa are joined by Bill Bodkin (founder and editor-in-chief of The Pop Break) to discuss this influential year for the Academy and movies as a whole. How have these classics aged? Which actor do we think gave the best performances in them? And what random movie does Matt think actually deserved Best Picture? Find out in this week's episode.

Just how much preaching (and singing) can our hosts take? In this episode about the 1944 Oscars, Josh Sarnecky (co-host of TV Break and The Anniversary Brothers) joins Marisa and Matt to discuss Going My Way, Bing Crosby's Best Picture winning musical about a singing priest. Also discussed: an epic melodrama, a questionable biopic, and two classic thrillers—which do the hosts think should have taken home the big prize?

2005 is a formative year for Matt and Marisa as moviegoers...and it's also the year of one of the most hated Best Picture winners of all time. This week, the hosts discuss Crash... just how bad is Paul Haggis' star-studded drama? Plus: Marisa and Matt contemplate the legacy of Brokeback Mountain, wonder what's happening with George Clooney's career, and ask the question: has Steven Spielberg ever actually had sex before?

Marisa and Matt travel back to the first Oscar race ever: 1927! How has the inaugural Best Picture winner, Wings, aged? The hosts also discuss their crushes from the silent film era, go crazy over an F.W. Murnau's classic, and are shocked when Matt is forced to kill a bug on mic. Even if you haven't seen these movies, you'll want to give it a listen.
