    About this Episode

    On this episode of 'Revisiting the Oscars' we're back to the mid-2000s for Scorsese's only Oscar win for 'The Departed'.

    We may have recorded this at Christmas time but there's little Christmas cheer on show as the films we're talking about cover war, suicide and death by car accident, but don't worry - we'll do our best to brighten things up!

    Films included on this pod alongside 'The Departed' are the globe spanning drama 'Babel', the aftermath of Princess Diana's death in 'The Queen', Clint Eastwood's Japanese war drama 'Letters from Iwo Jima' and a little independent road trip movie in 'Little Miss Sunshine'.

    All this and the usual nonsense, banter and fun facts!

    Episode 29: 1986 - Platoon

    Episode 29: 1986 - Platoon

    On this episode of 'Revisiting the Oscars' we're headed back almost 40 years to talk all things 1986 as we dissect the 5 movies nominated for 'Best Picture' that year!

    Crocodile Dundee, Diego Maradona, Catchphrase and Top Gun were just some of the things making headlines in 1986, but what was happening at the Oscars....

    We've got an interesting bunch to discuss this year that includes Robert De Niro playing a Spanish slave trader cum missionary in the oddity that is 'The Mission', a Woody Allen ensemble comedy in 'Hannah and her Sisters', ANOTHER Merchant Ivory period romance ('A Room with a View'), a romantic drama set at a school for the deaf ('Children of a Lesser God') and Oliver Stone's Vietnam War drama 'Platoon'.

    All this and the usual nonsense and fun facts - who knew there was a Vatican Film List?!
