episode 89 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Gone With the Wind (1939) cover

89 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Gone With the Wind (1939)

We are 89 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they, frankly, give a damn about the 12th Best Picture winner - 1939's Gone With the Wind. 1939 was a banner year for a lot of reasons.  The New York Yankees swept the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series, Hitler invaded Poland, and a scrappy little cinematic novel adaptation named Gone With the Wind released to unprecedented financial success and Oscars recognition.  It's the epic Southern romance that set the world (and a few big movie sets) ablaze with Confederate passion, for better or for worse.  Of it's unprecedented 10 Oscars, Best Picture was, of course, one of them.  It's legacy is one of a historical cinematic achievement - but how does the Brainrot squad feel about it? In this episode you're gonna hear: * How the Civil War gave the whole world excessive brainrot * About Scarlett O'Hara's gaslighting, gatekeeping AND girlbossing * Which iconic line was nearly foiled by the Hays Code * If the South will rise again Follow us @bestpicturebrainrotpodcast as we keep delving into Oscars history with a brainrot spin Letterboxd Adam - https://boxd.it/9fMt Drew - https://boxd.it/ahkIx Sarah - https://boxd.it/6VQMl

episode 90 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | You Can't Take it With You (1938) cover

90 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | You Can't Take it With You (1938)

We are 90 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they consume more Capraganda with the 11th Best Picture winner - 1938's You Can't Take it With You. Like we said, there are 90 weeks until Oscars 100.  Or should we say... 90 "twee"ks for the most millennial-core Best Picture which is somehow also from the 1930s.  This movie stars Jimmy Stewart as the son of a business magnate who falls in love with a *gasp* poor girl from a *gasp* quirky family.  Hijinks ensue but you'll have to listen to know what happens next.  This is Capra's second Best Picture win, so how does this stack up to all the rest? In this episode you're gonna hear: * The origins of a certain Jimmy/James Stewart * Confusion over Frank Capra's political leanings * Which future racist starred in another Oscar-winning film this year * Countless accusations about who in the pod is the most twee Follow us @bestpicturebrainrotpodcast as we keep delving into Oscars history with a brainrot spin Letterboxd Adam - https://boxd.it/9fMt Drew - https://boxd.it/ahkIx Sarah - https://boxd.it/6VQMl

episode 91 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Life of Emile Zola (1937) cover

91 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Life of Emile Zola (1937)

Can you believe this is our 10th epsiode?  We are 91 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as "They Accuse!" (that will make sense later) one of the most French Best Picture winners - 1937's The Life of Emile Zola. We're back in the biopic trenches (regardless of how you pronounce it) with the story of Emile Zola, a French journalist and author whose career spanned the late 1800s.  Specifically, this movie covers his early career to death while also taking time to focus on a major political event of the moment; the Dreyfus Affair.  Kind of...  We've got thoughts about the history, and we've got thoughts about the movie - and most importantly we've got opinions on how this fits into the Best Picture canon. In this episode you're gonna hear: * How famed muckraker Emile Zola would have done on TikTok today * Discussion on which key words were specifically not included in the film and why * Which two-time Best Actress winner should have been canceled in the 30s * Best Picture Brainrot's awards for the first 10 Oscar winners Follow us @bestpicturebrainrotpodcast as we keep delving into Oscars history with a brainrot spin Letterboxd Adam - https://boxd.it/9fMt Drew - https://boxd.it/ahkIx Sarah - https://boxd.it/6VQMl

episode 92 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Great Ziegfeld (1936) cover

92 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Great Ziegfeld (1936)

We are 92 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they get Zieggy with it in our next Best Picture winner discussion - 1936's The Great Ziegfeld. The Great Ziegfeld tells the story of the... great Ziegfeld.  He's okay.  One of the biggest drivers of the growth of Broadway, and inspiration for the events in The Broadway Melody - Florenz Ziegfeld went from relative obscurity to an iconic stage producer.  It's a biopic that happened almost immediately after the death of the man himself, showing how important he was to the culture.  He may be the original impresario - but were we impressed with this Best Picture win? In this episode you're gonna hear: * How an all-star cast catapulted The Great Ziegfeld to commercial success * All the hosts' favorite biopics (and how to pronounce it!) * Which Frank Capra movie was remade as an Adam Sandler comedy * Bad impressions of both Michael Jackson and Elvis Follow us @bestpicturebrainrotpodcast as we keep delving into Oscars history with a brainrot spin Letterboxd Adam - https://boxd.it/9fMt Drew - https://boxd.it/ahkIx Sarah - https://boxd.it/6VQMl

93 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)

We are 93 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they take to the high seas with the eighth Best Picture winner - 1935's Mutiny on the Bounty. Ahoy!  Witness Frank Lloyd's redemption from historical stinker Cavalcade as he makes a certified British banger in Mutiny on the Bounty.  This tells the story of the HMS Bounty, a ship bound to Tahiti and captained by the domineering Captain Bligh.  The titular mutiny comes when he pushes his crew too far but you'll have to listen to what comes next, and how it fits into the Best Picture canon. In this episode you're gonna hear: * The "impressive" way that the British Navy grew their ranks in this period * How the casting director weaponized real life drama to great effect * Drew remind us about how much he hates courtroom scenes * Too many cheese puns Follow us @bestpicturebrainrotpodcast as we keep delving into Oscars history with a brainrot spin Letterboxd Adam - https://boxd.it/9fMt Drew - https://boxd.it/ahkIx Sarah - https://boxd.it/6VQMl

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
