The Best Pictures Podcast

After a brief break we're back and covering the first (mostly) silent film to win Best Picture since you very first episode!

Join out hosts for the 83rd Best Picture winner, A King's Speech. Ian and Maggie both appreciated the top notch performances, and understated but deftly executed visuals.

After wrapping up the last winner of the early 2000s, we're revisiting our lists and shuffling some of our rankings! We discuss the highs and lows of our most recent decade of winners and reflect on what we're most excited for in the 2010s. We also revisit a couple of our early winners and answer some great listener questions.

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!
