    Oscar Loves... Making History

    This month, Mark and Izzy divert from their planned double feature to discuss this year's Best Picture winner CODA and the ceremony itself.  In a year that will no doubt go down in history for one specific moment, there were many others that were also groundbreaking.  DIrected and adapted by Sian Heder, CODA tells the story of Ruby (Emilia Jones) - the only hearing child of deaf adults, Jackie (Oscar winner Marlee Matlin), and Frank (Oscar winner Troy Kotsur) - who must balance the needs of her family's fishing business against the opportunity to audition for music college.
