A Lifetime of Academy Awards (Part I‪)‬ Year 2000 Fix

With another Academy Awards Ceremony on the way, Jordan is joined by his cinephile friend, Claire, to talk about Hollywood’s biggest night! Together, they explore their first experiences watching the Oscars, their thoughts on the movies nominated this year, and their least favorite nominees and winners from the last 20 years. They also go over the shady politics that determine who goes home with a golden statue and the now-disgraced man who dominated the awards circuit for most of the 21st century.

This episode is mostly Spoiler-Free and where there are spoilers…well, look you probably weren’t going to see the movie anyway. Stay tuned for Part II!
