The Revisionist’s Almanac

The first of what will become a regular quarterly session between the RevAlmanac team. Andrew is joined by Amanda Nethington (Midwest Regional Manager) and Heather Stewart (European Correspondent) to take a 30,000 foot view of the 2025 film year and tackle the one thing Andrew promised he would never do - make way too early Oscar predictions.

On The Revisionist's Almanac, Andrew and rotating guests dive deep into the Oscars to see which winners have stood the test of time, and which haven't.

Andrew is heading back to a monumental year to kick off season three - 2007 and the 80th Academy Awards, and he's bringing Frankie Sparks & Scott Eisenberg from Shoot the Flick with him to debate Atonement, Juno, Michael Clayton, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, and more!

I took a deep dive into 1973, along with special guest Frank Mandosa from Reels of Cinema, and after the episode we turned the voting over to you, the people!

We didn't agree with any of the Academy's wins that year, so all six categories went to the social media polls for you, the listeners to decide on. 

The voting has concluded and it's time to share the results and officially add these winners to the coveted Revisionist's Almanac. 

With this episode cycle completed, we turn our attention to episode twenty-five, where I was joined by two first time guests, Frankie & Scott from Shoot the Flick - to dissect the year 2007 (No Country for Old Men winning Best Picture). This episode will release on Friday, January 2nd.

Thanks for checking out the voting results and be sure to subscribe to the channel and rate/review the show!

Tom and Dana Duncan over at The Greatest Movie of All-Time Podcast have assembled a slew of podcast voices and content creators to each submit a list of their personal Top 50 best movies - and once those lists were submitted, they used a ranked points system to determine what are the BEST movie ever made. 

Alongside their weekly releases of the 120 movies on the official Cinema Legacy Poll list, I asked others that submitted lists to share some of what they picked, why they picked those films, and then I give a bit of my feedback about some of their selections.
