About this episode
It's a new year and we are back with our first episode of 2021! We return to the 1980s to discuss Milo Forman's AMADEUS. Artie B (Departed, Sound of Music, Slumdog Millionaire, Argo) and Brendan B (Mutiny on the Bounty, Rocky, Shakespeare in Love) dust off their batons and join Kieran B to chat about what many consider to be the best Best Picture Winner of the 80s. Does the movie hold up? We take the deep dive into this semi-fictional portrayal of the life of Mozart, talk the works of Milos Forman, whether this should be considered a musical, 1984 in movies and everything in between!
