Editing The Academy

Welcome to our discussion of the 1993 Best Picture Nominees! We agreed on a few things, disagreed on some others, and definitely thought this was an odd year at the movies: 

The Crying Game

A Few Good Men

Howards End

Scent Of A Woman

Unforgiven

Major Spoilers for all the movies we discuss! 

Welcome to Editing the Academy! This week Darryl shares why Momento by Christopher Nolan is his #10 favorite movie of all time. Is it yours? Listen in!

Listen to Darryl and Laura as they agree on the best picture of 1992, and recommend everyone go out and read all of Pat Conroy's novels.

Major Spoilers for all movies! 

Join Laura as she talks about her #10 Favorite movie, Barcelona by the amazing writer/director Whit Stillman. If you haven't seen it, it has some of the best dialogue and characters of any movie out there, and probably the only scene where a man dances to big band music while reading the bible. 

Laura and Darryl close out another decade! The Eighties are done (thankfully) and they end with quite typical Oscar Bait and a decent film or two. Thanks for hanging in there as we begin the films released in 1990:

Awakenings

Dances with Wolves

Ghost

Godfather Part 3

Goodfellas 

Closing out another decade! The Eighties are done (thankfully) and they end with quite typical Oscar Bait and a decent film or two.

02:54 Born On The Fourth Of July

14:52 Dead Poets Society

28:51 Driving Miss Daisy

39:32 Field Of Dreams

50:12 My Left Foot

Do you like camp? Over the top acting? Brilliant one liners? This is the movie for you! Darryl talks about his # 11 favorite movie of all time - Army Of Darkness (Gimme some sugar, baby) and Laura adds her joy as well.

Darryl and Laura are posting a special episode just in time for the Academy Awards on March 2! A few caveats: we were not able to see all of the movies (mostly because we decided to do this episode two weeks ago), but Darryl saw 8 and Laura saw 6, so not too shabby!  Also, we tried not to spoil, but couldn't get through the discussions without revealing a few major plot points, so know that going in.  

In the end, we agreed on the movie that we think WILL win, but disagreed on the movie we think SHOULD win.  Let us know your thoughts! 

Join Darryl and Laura as they discuss the best picture nominees of 1989 that were released in 1988:

A VERY diverse group of nominees this year! Major spoilers abound!

Come join us as Laura celebrates her #12 favorite movie: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. It is a comfort watch based in part on her love of the 1960s camp spy classic. Major Spoilers!
