The Best Pictures Podcast

Join Maggie and Ian for the final 2024 halloween episode Stephen King's Carrie. Despite some creaky bits, the 1976 film adaptation proves to be an entertaining (and spooky) watch!

Join Ian and Maggie for Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining. With plenty of ghostly spookiness (and psychic powers to boot), the film still provides a thrilling Halloween-time watch. Do our hosts prefer the book to the movie? Listen to find out!

Join Maggie and Ian for the 78th winner, American crime drama Crash. Shallow characters, surface-level commentary, and several excruciatingly gratuitous scenes didn't impress either of our hosts.

Join our hosts for the 77th Best Picture winner, Million Dollar Baby. Despite some knockout performances (wink wink) both Maggie and Ian had some conflicted feelings about the last round of this winner.

Ian and Maggie are back with a winner episode covering the 75th winner, Chicago. They loved the musical numbers and ambition of production, but were left wanting more from the character development.

Join us as we celebrate the 6th anniversary of the Best Pictures Podcast by tackling another cult classic!

Ian and Maggie cover the 74th Best Picture inner, A Beautiful mind. All around the hosts appreciated a solid film with great acting.
