Once Upon a Time at the Oscars

If you listen to this episode very closely, you can faintly hear the sound of tears swelling up in our eyes, and lumps tightening in our throats. John Hurt left us in shambles under David Lynch's masterful direction in 1980's The Elephant Man. Join us as we break down all of the haunting, yet beautiful scenes of this devastating classic.

For someone with such beef against super heroes, Scorsese has no problem flaunting his super power of superb film making. This week we check out one of his earlier masterpieces, and the first team-up of De Niro and Pesci in Raging Bull. We break down the mastery on display in this force of a film, from the camera work to the animal noise in the sound design, all on this week's episode.

The first film of 1980 has feelin' a little country! Especially Marilee, she had a southern accent for a few hours after recording. But it was worth to hear Sissy Spacek's best impression of Loretta Lynn. And although we aren't sure how to feel about Loretta and Doolittle's complex relationship, this film is definitely worth seeing!

The film that launched Jack Nicholson into stardom. Five Easy Pieces is such a groundbreaking film, but has it been outdone by films that have come after it? Have we reached a point where, though the themes of the film are still and always will be relevant, do we struggle to relate to the characters who graced the screen over 50 years ago? One of your hosts thinks so, and one doesn't. Find out who's who on this week's episode!
