Matt Taylor and our film editor Marisa Carpico are finally back for the fourth season of their Oscar retrospective podcast, And the Winner Still Is… This podcast drops every Tuesday.
In this podcast series, Matt and Marisa go in the way-back machine to break down the the Best Picture winner and nominees as well as the major categories like Director, Actresses and Actors. They discuss the context in which the winners won, looking back on things should they have win and are they still award-worthy today. They also discuss the losers, the snubs and films, directors and performers they’d nominate.
It’s Christmas in June this week as Matt and Marisa discuss two holiday classics that also just happen to have been nominated for Best Picture: The Bishop’s Wife and Miracle on 34th Street.
