About this episode
Best Picture Cast reached 20 episodes as we talk the 2014 Best Picture Winner BIRDMAN (or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). Grant Z and Joey R return and we welcome OZ to his BPC debut! The four of us dive deep to chat Michael Keaton and whether anyone else could have slid into this roll. There are heated conversations about the MCU and DC Universe and how we view them in the grand scheme of things. We take a break at halftime as we each give our definitive Batman portrayal rankings and unravel into one of the more heated debates in BPC history! The episode also includes an in depth analysis of the movies ambiguous ending, movie recommendations for those who enjoyed Birdman, and a sizable discussion of the other 2014 Best Picture Nominees and snubs. Time stamps included below!
