Hey Oscars fans, welcome to the 1981 Oscars for the films of 1980. This is a HUGE year in terms of the conceit of this show — because while the Oscar winning film is respected, the film that DIDN’T WIN is regarded as a true masterpiece and one of the greatest films of all-time. If you know, you know, and if you don’t get ready to be enraged. Or maybe not. And that’s just the start of some curious decisions, omissions and oversights. Whether you’re a total film nerd (like us) or not — this was objectively a great year for movies and for debating the awards given to them! And along the way, we hope to add a few more hidden gems to your movie-watching list. As always, thanks for listening!
