A bumper Academy Awards edition of the Filmotomy podcast, as we scan the 90 year history for some of our favorite Best Picture Oscar winners. As Bianca takes a well-earned week off, Robin hosts, and invites prestigious members to join him on the nostalgic awards back-catalog – they are Audrey, Jo, Kira, and Doug. The branch each put forward 5 Best Picture winners at the Oscars – perhaps sentimental picks, guilty pleasures, even downright bigging up of the winners with perhaps an unfair bad rep.
