We leave the 1950s with the year that gave us a defining religious epic, a swath of great French cinema, a perfect thriller, and so much more.

Some things are hard to understand without the context of time. Listen as we break down this peculiar year dominated by a certain MGM musical, with all the weird peaks, valleys, and middle-grounds that permeated 1950s American cinema.

1934 - the year a single movie defined an entire genre! Categorically Oscars co-host Chris Makas was gracious enough to join me as we discussed the films of 1934, a truly stellar year, from the beauty of The Scarlet Empress, to how Frank Capra essentially saved the Academy, to the Bette Davis controversy, to how the Academy passed over so many classics for disposable trash in terms of what they actually nominated.

What a year to be talking about! Jackson DeStefano joins me as we take out the trash of 1929, and reward the few good movies that were released that year and eligible for the Oscars. Besides our awards, we mostly discussed the struggle of transitioning to sound that plagued 1929, and Jackson briefly mentioned his thoughts on Gary Cooper and Walter Huston, as well as the technical marvels and importance of Hallelujah being undermined by its abhorrent racism. And we both agreed on the greatness of Lucky Star, not to spoil anything. And I didn't even remember to mention Paul Fejos' narratively messy technical marvel Broadway! Oh, and beware of the gaffe Jackson and I made in forgetting to announce our winners, which we quickly corrected. Anyways, cheers and enjoy!
