– Controversy! (5:05)
We open the show this week with injustice! A travesty! A robbery! JD talks about how he scored the goal of his life in beer league hockey, but it was taken away by the refs in what can simply be labeled as a dubious call. This time we have video to prove it.
– Pixar / Scott Wampler (12:55)
Recently, Pixar executives made headlines for comments about a new direction they are taking after films such as Luca and Turning Red apparently not satisfying them. Evidence suggests that they were well liked and gave propulsion to the Disney+ app, so pointing out those films leaves some very murky questions. On a different note, we end the segment by discussing the heartbreaking passing of film critic Scott Wampler and the unity shown by everyone on social media.
– Best Picture Movie Series: The Lost Weekend (53:03)
We continue our Best Picture Movie Series in the 1940s with Billy Wilder’s 1945 Oscar-winning film The Lost Weekend! The film, in many ways, is a first of its kind and might have hit certain pockets of America in a big way as the War was coming to an end. Ray Milland gives one of the best actor wins of the era with a striking performance that enhances the films visceral quality. It might not be Wilder’s best film, but so many movies (especially about addiction) are influenced by The Lost Weekend in some way.
