The Retros
Episode 12: 1997 Intermission
Where we look back at our 1997 episode and see if it needs any mistakes rectified or omissions told. But probably not. But probably, we're not always that accurate...
In this episode:
What exactly is the nomination process for the Academy Awards? We don't really know for sure, Price Waterhouse keeps that info close to their chest. But, we have a pretty good idea.
Which movie had the best marketing campaign for Best Picture of 1997? Which one had the worst? We don't dither, we have OPINIONS!
We discuss the meteoric rise and fall of Billy Zane, Titanic's Caledon Hockley, Rose's obnoxious fiance and villain of the movie. We were fascinated by the sheer number of movies Zane has been in since Titanic that we never heard of.
Does a year have enough influence in the zeitgeist to have its own theme song? 1997 does. Chumbawumba's Tubthumping!
Thank you for listening and watch more movies!
