    How Green was My Valley (1942)

    If Richard Llewellyn doesn’t know, then truly no one can because he made it all up! This film “based on a true story” by Mr. Llewellyn struggles under the wight of his lies. Join us as we struggle to stay awake through this clout chasing rigamarole. John Ford wins six Oscars including best director and best film but thankfully it will be the last we see of him. W.G.W.M.V truly capstones the Ford oeuvre by doing what he does best shaming the poor while exploiting and misrepresenting them.

    The Grapes of Wrath (1941)

    Our various fruits are feeling many negative emotions as we delve into a roadtrip movie based on a book that was plagiarized by a two-bit hack. In this film directed by John Ford we get to see a version of the depression era struggle that has been white-washed and watered down so its wealthy audience can pretend to feel bad about it. The Grapes of Wrath won the Academy Award for Best Director, but we think it should be erased from our collective memory. You can find Andy @royalty_valens and Maevas @MaevasEvergreen.

    Rebecca (1941)

    Our first and only Alfred Hitchcock film, we are impressed by the directorial compitence but felt the story’s luster dimmed upon any amount of inspection. In spite of its misogyny and it’s infantilised main character, this adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s novel was thought-provoking, fun to watch, and fun to talk about. So enjoy as we discuss how women are portrayed in media, good horror stories, and all the ways this movie fails to be a supernatural teen-romance. Rebecca wins the 1941 Academy Award for Best Picture, and we’re allowing it’s acceptance. You can find Andy @royalty_valens and Maevas @MaevasEvergreen.

    Gone with the WInd (1940)

    Based on the bestselling novel, the movie that first swept the Oscars, ‘Gone with the Wind’ sets the standard for creating palatable racism. Creating an Antebellum south that never existed and distributing love letters to the KKK. This film actively harmed the black community upon its release and the support this movie garnered led to the continuation of lynching laws. There is a serious argument to be made that this movie shouldn’t be screened because of the harmful ideas it perpetuates. Look no further then its “violently pro Nazi” director Victor Flemming.

    You Can't Take It With You (1939)

    The Second Great War has begun in earnest as we watch “You Can’t Take It With You”. Based on a Pulitzer Prize winning play, we get to learn that systemic issues don’t exist. We get to see how good and nutritious the taste of capitalist boot can really be when you get a good suck on it, all in two glorious hours… Director Frank Capra wins the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director, but Andy and Maevas are just frustrated and disappointed.

    The Life of Emile Zola (1938)

    Just in time to miss this years Oscars, we watched “The Life of Emile Zola” directed by William Deiterle. A surprisingly effective film that touches on a lot of our favorite themes: journalistic integrity, class traitors, a reasonable distrust in the state and military, gay-baiting. In what is only the second time in the history of the Academy Awards we allow this film to keep its prize, Best Picture, and on top of that give it the award for Best Foreshadowing.

    The Awful Truth (1938)

    “The Awful Truth” truly is a thought provoking piece. It makes you ask what is comedy? Should you respect the begging wishes of your actors? What is the awful truth? Impressively this movie is ‘based’ on a play and manages to not have a coherent plot or anything resembling a cohesive character arc. Director Leo McCarey may be the worst kind of Hollywood persona, a gimmicky hack. Though his chicanery won him the 1938 Oscar for Best Director, it wins nothing from us because we struggle to remember any of the movie. You can find Andy @royalty_valens and Maevas @MaevasEvergreen.

  8. The Great Ziegfeld (1937)

    The Great Ziegfeld (1937)

    “The Great Ziegfeld” is a three hour showcase glorifying the ideal American entrepreneur. A classist figure that swings wildly between giving to the working class and conning them into free labor, Mr. Ziegfeld would pull himself up by his bootstraps if his Louis Vuitton Diamond-Studded Oxfords had any. Watch as this movie insists one man can single-handedly change the world of art on his own and ignores all of the horror of producing underage showgirls. Director Robert Leonard spent a lot of money to win the Oscar for Best Picture but we think he should have spent that money on a editor. You can find Andy @royalty_valens and Maevas @MaevasEvergreen.
