Our film reviews begin with a bio/filmography for each actress, where we highlight whatever tickles our collective fancy about the actor’s origin story and career achievements, including all the juicy gossip and fake news we can get our grubby hands on. We move into a summary of the story’s premise, banterbanterbanter, and then we conclude each segment with a debate over the best, worst, and Oscar reel scenes. ***The retrospective comes to a close with our patented re-rank that we have the audacity to call Perfecting Perfection. Here, we re-rank the 5 nominees, compare them to all the snubs, and finish with a final rank and grade of the best films in the year.

As we talk about Moonstruck, us Mikes will shockingly agree for the first and only time about greatness of the RomCom, we liken the film to an Italian version of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and then we kinda poop all over Cher.

Our final review covers the life and career of the One and only Meryl Streep and her performance in the most depressing film in the history of Oscars, Emmys, the genre of fiction, or aspect of life in general: Ironweed. Still, she’s Meryl Streep; she’s a super-human, and we have to marvel over her super powers. (You see what I did there.) The episode concludes with a surprising re-rank, and we enjoy a little debate about our top 5s for the best performances and pictures of the year.
