Join host Jesse Nguyen as he embarks on the fun adventure of watching every Best Picture Oscar winner since the inception of the Academy Awards. He's no film expert — not even close — but, he's hoping to change that. He'll give you the everyman perspective on these films, replete with his own clueless analysis and wildly misguided theories. Come along as he experiences these celebrated films for (mostly) the first time — and discover whether No Country for Old Men is actually a retirement community review or if Titanic could have had a happier ending with better boat design.
