The year is 1997. The category is Best Picture. Who will win? Well, as is unsurprising at this period in history, it's the film pushed by the Weinsteins. But perhaps it ought not to have? We discuss the movies from 1996 that might should have been considered the Best Picture when the awards season rolled around in the first part of 1997.SPOILERS AHOY!

No timestamps because Bob was in a hurry, but if you're a regular listener you have the advantage of knowing which movie Bob chose for his personal Best Picture.

Oh, hey, it's an old episode that Bob forgot to edit and upload. Let's draw a veil on that and we can pretend that it didn't quite happen that way. Spoilers abound for a variety of films old and new in this episode where your two hosts run down lists of movies they dislike, but with which the world seems to be enamored. In addition to the movies on our lists, we also spoil (a little) La La Land and Rogue One.

Spoilers, spoilers everywhere!

00:00 Wait, what?
02:15 How did we choose (bad but popular) movies to discuss?
05:39 Mark's first movie he dislikes
12:55 Bob's first movie he dislikes
19:17 Mark's second movie he dislikes
22:42 Bob's second movie he dislikes
25:25 Mark questions whether Bob is merely a contrarian
31:28 Mark's third (and fourth) movie he dislikes
39:13 Bob's third movie he dislikes
43:50 Mark's fifth movie he dislikes
49:45 Bob's fourth movie he dislikes
58:28 Honorable mentions
1:00:58 Narrator: "They did not, in fact, talk about the Oscars next time."
