  • Resumen

  • Ever since 1928, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has handed out trophies to what it considered the best in film. Sometimes they were absolutely right, sometimes they were entirely wrong, sometimes they were so, so basic. But in all that time, audiences have had their own opinions, sometimes better, sometimes much worse. And sometimes, when the stars align or the fates allow, they even agree. Academy Vs Audience is a deep dive into Oscar history, revisiting film history from the 1920s to the 2020s; from the Studio Era to the age of the IP Franchise; from the age of the silent film to the age of the novelty silent film. Claire, Erin, and Dan take on each year’s Best Picture according to the Academy, and the Box Office Champ selected by audience dollars*. It’s a fascinating look at enduring classics and a descent into madness, because History Is Always Terrible and audiences make questionable choices.(*Based on revenue earned during its initial run, and the year said run began in. No re-releases. Lots of movies become audience favourites years after their initial release, you are not special, Billy Jack.)

    1987: Three Men and a Little Emperor (feat. Kevin Weir)
    Sep 19 2024

    In 1987, both Academy and Audience were making questionable choices in very different directions, so Kevin Weir's back to help Erin, Claire, and Dan get into it. The Oscar went to The Last Emperor, chronicling the uniquely tragic life of China's final emperor Puyi, and the gang accidentally watches the longest possible version. The audience goes far lighter with Three Men and a Baby, about three bachelors trying to take care of a baby left at their door... while also in a cat-and-mouse game with the mafia? Comedy! Your hosts search for the exact right Three Men to helm the remake Disney may yet still be considering. Listen in for a discussion that almost certainly probably doesn't go off the rails repeatedly.

  • 1986: Platoon to the Danger Zone

    1986: Platoon to the Danger Zone
    Sep 5 2024

    In 1986, Hollywood was in two minds about the military. Oliver Stone won an Oscar for his ground-level examination of the destruction and darkness of the Vietnam War, via one idealistic recruit being ground down by perpetual horror and atrocity. Tony Scott went another way, with whizz-bang planes that go fast and hot shot fighter pilots flying and fighting and erotically playing beach volleyball in Top Gun, which won over the crowds and made Tom Cruise a bona fide Movie Star. It's dumb and fun vs smart and soul-crushing: who won the hearts of our hosts? Tune in and find out!

  • 1985: Out of the Future (feat. Gina Stewart)

    1985: Out of the Future (feat. Gina Stewart)
    Aug 22 2024

    It's 1985 and the tonal gap between Academy winners and Audience favourite isn't getting smaller. The Oscar goes to Meryl Streep and Robert Redford's languidly paced, ill-fated romance in Out of Africa. Returning guest Gina Stewart joins Erin, Claire, and Dan to explain how the actual Karen Blixen's memoir of life in colonial Africa was mutated into an Oscar-bait romance. The audience turned out stronger for the unhinged sci-fi comedy Back to the Future, which would pave the way for a generation's worth of comedic hot takes, but does it still work as a movie? And what's Dan got to share in Extra Credit Corner? Tune in and find out!
