About this episode
It’s time for everyone to look a little closer and join us as we attempt to find inner beauty through the Best Picture Winner of 1999 AMERICAN BEAUTY. In the twelfth installment of BEST PICTURE CAST, Jay Dowski, author of the novel “Bury Me in Montauk” makes his BPC debut as we discuss one of his favorite movies. We chat about that stacked year in cinema before the end of the century, we go through the movie library of the great Sam Mendes, we chat James Bond, and saturate the market with Michael Caine impressions. Dust off your RVC camera, pay the extra five cents at the grocery store for a plastic bag, and take the dive with us!
Next week Artie B and Rob Bobcat return to discuss SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
