About this episode
We are back for episode 5 where we tackle 1998's controversial best picture winner Shakespeare In Love! Brendan B makes his debut as he attempts to make a case for why he thinks the Academy got this one right. We spend a little more time than usual on this year's runners up (Saving Private Ryan, Thin Red Line, and Life Is Beautiful) and we take some time to compare the movie to Saving Private Ryan head to head. In classic BPC fashion we bounce around and talk our favorite X-Files episodes, Coldplay, Parasite, this year's Oscars, MacGyver, and more!
Join us next episode for 1940s Best Picture Winner, Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca!
