Enjoy as host and Co-Artistic Producer Mackenzie Horner along with Ryan Borochovitz, Sarah Hime and Andrew Pawarroo breakdown their thoughts on the differences between the director's vs theatrical release version of the film and if the Oscars were correct in bequeathing the Best Actor Award to F. Murray Abraham for his portrayal of Salieri over Tom Hulce's performance as Mozart.
