Revisiting the Oscars latest episode takes us back to the 1980s, with another opportunity to ‘inject the 80s into your veins’ with the films up for discussion this week including ‘Tootsie‘, ‘Gandhi‘ and Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi classic ‘E.T.’
Expect lots of discussion of 1980s fashion, music and the Academy’s attitude towards computer generated effects in movies.
It’s our 10th podcast episode so we also look back on the films we’ve covered in ‘Revisiting the Oscars‘ so far, and with it of course being February, we talk Pancake Day, and learn that one of our hosts may also be even more committed to Lent than the lord and saviour himself….
