  • 71 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

    71 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)
    Oct 15 2026
    We are 71 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today, we go back to the World War II well with a non-Wyler-led epic about POWs on the Pacific front who are forced to build a river crossing in the lovely jungles of Burma. The Bridge on the River Kwai is our first David Lean, and our 30th Best Picture Winner. Featuring special guest - Zach!


    You likely know him best for originating the character of Obi Wan Kenobi, but Alec Guinness was an Oscar-winning actor whose most significant role before Star Wars was in this movie where he basically acts as a summer camp counselor wrangling troublesome youths who need to unite to solve a common goal. But here's the catch - they are all prisoners of war of the Japanese forces. Nevertheless, this is the task that Guinness' Colonel Nicholson must take on - keep the men alive and productive in hostile conditions. Does he take it a little too far? Let's find out!


    In this episode you're gonna hear:
    • The real story of Sir Lieutenant Colonel Philip John Denton Toosey and how that inspired (or didn't inspire) the events of the movie
    • Which Eddie Murphy character vehicle was inspired by one of Alec Guiness' performances
    • Valuable technical camera information from an expert in the craft
    • The results of the 3rd Brainrot Awards!

  • 72 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Around the World in 80 Days (1956)

    72 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Around the World in 80 Days (1956)
    Oct 8 2026
    We are 72 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today, we're sponsored by Kalshi because we're talking about a bet. A certain bet, a specific bet about if it is possible to go around the world in less than 3 months. Yes, Around the World in 80 Days is the winner of these 29th Academy Awards.


    You may be familiar with Jules Verne's novel - but this movie brings the story to the big screen in vibrant color and scale that has rarely been matched in these first three decades of the Oscars. It's a vibes and hijinks movie about a colorful cast of characters trying their best to see the world as fast as they possibly can; it's really some bored rich people stuff. The cast is all-star and was notable in 1956 for introducing us to the idea of the celebrity cameo, so we have this to blame for Marvel, I suppose. It's a real global romp that carried a lot of charm in 1956 - but can we say the same 70 years later?


    In this episode you're gonna hear:
    • The gang flex on everyone with how far our global travels have gone
    • What Todd AO is, and why it changed the game with this movie
    • How Mexico's Charlie Chaplin brought a level of global star power to this film
    • Very polarizing opinions on this film - who will prevail?

  • 73 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Marty (1955)

    73 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Marty (1955)
    Oct 1 2026
    We are 73 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today, we've got the meats. Marty tells the story of a sweet New York butcher who finds love after 34 years of trying, which is a crazy long amount of time, apparently. Maybe when you're Italian!


    Marty Piletti and Clara Snyder are both old, busted individuals for the 1950s - or at least that's what all of their friends and family tell them! They've internalized the fact that they'll never find love and instead spend all their nights hanging out with their parents or, in Marty's case, his bum friends. But it's a chance encounter that will change everything. It's a focused story that fits within a tight-90, praise be. It's a sweet story and one of the smallest to win Best Picture, but will we fall in love with Marty?


    In this episode you're gonna hear:
    • About our meat plugs
    • If Marty and Clara are actually as busted as people say
    • How director Delbert Mann dipped in and dipped out of the Oscars
    • Adam forget how to say the name of the main woman character of the movie
