The Retros
We discuss the best picture decisions made by the Academy and whether they were right or wrong...we decide! We also discuss the many different categories and movies of the particular Oscar year we are reviewing and add a few new categories ourselves.

The Retros
Episode 24: 1974 Intermission
Where we look back at our 1974 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:
We made some mistakes. We hold ourselves accountable for those mistakes! Even if we have to make fun of each other for making those mistakes.
The toys of the 70s were the best. Not an opinion; it's a fact. We also talk a bit more about what kind of Lord of the Rings movie would have been made in the 70s and by whom after John Borman had to drop out of his production of one. Could it have been Spielberg? Kubrick? Lean? Well, we had the animated Bakshi version, and it was ok. We also compare and contrast disaster movies from the 70s with those from 2005-2025. Our verdict, the 70s had better ones! And 2009's The Knowing was awful.
This intermission's outro music, One Tin Soldier, the theme from Billy Jack by The Original Caste!
All this and more, in a compact thirty minutes! Our technical issues have been mostly addressed and we both sound pretty good if we do say so ourselves.
Thank you for listening and watch more movies!
