  • Bonus Episode 3: Oscars 2022 Recap

    WOW!  This was one Oscar broadcast for the history books!  Download and listen to Jack's take on this crazy night ... otherwise called the 94th Annual Academy Awards that took place on March 27th, 2022.  Yes, CODA did win Best Picture, Dune took home 6 Oscars, and The Power of the Dog only took home 1 award out of the 12 it was nominated for.  But everyone is talking about Will Smith and the slap heard around the movie world.  Everyone has an opinion on it ... and of course, Jack does as well (and everything that happened that night).  Listen and enjoy!

  • Tom Jones (1963)

    In this episode, Jack revisits Tom Jones, the Best Picture winner in a year where Hollywood films were not of their highest quality.  This bawdy British comedic adventure showcases the talents of Albert Finney as well as the stylistic efforts of director Tony Richardson.  Tom Jones is a one-of-a-kind film that doesn't seem to fit into the typical Best Picture formula by the Academy.  The question is:  Does it hold up after almost SIX decades.   Listen and find out what Jack thinks of this classic comedy from 1963.

  • Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)

    In this episode, Jack goes all the way back to 1935 where he revisits the Best Picture winner of that year as well as the top box office smash hit, Mutiny on the Bounty.  The star power of the three leads is undeniable: Clark Gable, Charles Laughton, and Franchot Tone.  The exciting film full of action, drama, and adventure pleased audiences to no end. However, does it hold up today? Jack delves deep into the story, acting, and technical aspects of the film and compares it to all the other notable movies that came out that year to decide if it deserves his Rewatch Oscar of 1935.

  • Spotlight (2015)

    Rewatching Oscar with Jack Ferdman

    In this episode, Jack talks about the Best Picture winner from 2015, Spotlight.  This movie is important both historically and cinematically, as it dives into the four-person team that headed Spotlight, an in-depth journalistic branch of the Boston Globe who did research uncovering the abuse of children by the Catholic Church in Boston.  It's a heavy topic that looks at it through this reviewer's eyes.  He also mentions other great films from 2015, and then decides what film, if not Spotlight, deserves the Rewatch Oscar for that year.

  • Around the World in 80 Days (1956)

    Rewatching Oscar with Jack Ferdman

    Not every Best Picture stands the test of time. In this episode, Jack takes on 1956, and more specifically the film adaptation of the famous Jules Verne classic, Around the World in 80 Days. This film is one that is long, poorly scripted, and mostly a bore ... unlike the producer of the film, Michael Todd, who made this Academy Award winner despite all the odds stacked against him.  Jack explores the movie, Michael Todd, and many of the cameos in this wacky one of a kind movie.  Jack also talks about alot of the other great films from 1956 and shares his choice for the best ... the one he gives his Rewatch Oscar to.
