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.

Episode 32: 2012 Intermission

This week we look back at our 2012 episode and see if it needs any mistakes rectified or omissions told.
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.
We talk about the talented actor Karl Urban, who starred in such greats such as the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, Dredd, The Boys, and the inestimable and timeless trilogy The Lord of the Rings; we apologize for forgetting his name during the main show.
We also become cool science teachers explaining the basics of the Higgs Boson particle! Well, we thought we were cool.
The main story this episode was about sequels, remakes and reboots, focusing on the monumental failure of 2012's John Carter and whether it would or could be remade. How do some movies get remade when other more successful or deserving ones do not? We're not sure, but we agree that it would be awesome to see remakes of 1991's The Rocketeer or 1984's Last Starfighter.
This intermission's outro music, the theme song from The Last Starfighter soundtrack by Craig Safan.
All this and more, inside a compact thirty minutes!
Thank you for listening and watch more movies!
