Re-Oscared episode 006: 1947

Re-Oscared episode 008: 1940

Whoa, boy is this episode something else! Hosts Mike and Steven welcome their first-ever guest, author Laura Carney [https://bylauracarney.com], to the show, and the year she chose to discuss is the doozy of all Oscar years:1940. It's common knowledge that 1939 was an embarrassment of riches for Hollywood, with films like Gone With the Wind, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Wuthering Heights, and Goodbye Mr. Chips all getting love from the Academy. But there were a few other titles in contention at the ceremony too. They cover all of that and much more in this episode—including quite a lot of talk about Mickey Rooney.

Re-Oscared episode 007: 2013

2012 was an incredible year for film. A lot of Oscar races come down to two or three films or actors at most, but in 2013 there were so many great competitors that it could have been anybody’s win in just about every category. In this episode, Mike and Steven go deep into all of them and make some surprising choices with their re-Oscaring.

Re-Oscared episode 006: 1947

In this episode, Mike and Steven discuss the 1947 Oscars, where William Wyler and his stunning post-war story The Best Years of Our Lives rightfully took home a bunch of awards. They also get into the plethora of deserving films that lost to it in various categories—things like The Razor’s Edge, The Yearling, and the beloved It’s a Wonderful Life—along with one questionable nominee, Duel in the Sun.

Re-Oscared episode 005: 1995

Uma, Oprah. Oprah, Uma. The 1995 Academy Awards ceremony was a fun one thanks to the discomfort of its host David Letterman. The nominees were an interesting group, too, with more traditional Hollywood fare like Forrest Gump and Nobody's Fool sharing equal billing with the soon-to-explode independent movement embodied by Quentin Tarantino and his groundbreaking film Pulp Fiction. Did the voting members get it right? We break it all down in this episode, along with a discussion about a handful of other great films from the year.
