Decade vs Decade: 60s v 80s - Oscar Winners

Podcasts
Written By Dan Gorman

Dan and Jenna are back with another episode of their wheel-spinning, decade spanning movie discussion series! In this episode, they spun the wheel and landed on Oscar Winners and picked one Best Picture winner and one Best Foreign Picture winner to discuss.

  • Jenna picked Sundays and Cybele (1962, Serge Bourguignon), a black-and-white drama about the unlikely and potentially dangerous relationship between an emotionally fragile veteran and a young orphan.

  • Dan picked Ordinary People (1980, Robert Redford), a sensitively portrayed drama about a family dealing with trauma, grief, mental health, decaying relationships, therapy, suicide and more. Fun!

Don’t forget to:

A new episode of Notes From the Back Row will be released every other week...ish. If you have a new movie premiering, drop us a line – we might be interested in setting something up with you too!
