Johnny Depp Is Our Most Watched Actor: On the Movies of the Year 2000
Episode 2 and still going strong!
Ian and Page, your two favorite store-brand English professors, have put together a syllabus for reading our way to an understanding of the 21st Century.
Today's episode is all about the movies of the year 2000. We start by diving into the Oscar & Indie Spirit Best Picture nominees for the year - really it's just a lot of talk about drugs and corporate power. Then we play a fun game where we look back to create our own ideal ballots for the year. A full list of the movies we talked about can be found here.
And subscribe to get our May 10 episode where we talk about the other books that have stuck around from the year 2000: Angels & Demons by Dan Brown, The Brethren by John Grisham, Pastoralia by George Saunders, and The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt.
