Best Picture Winner #1: Wings (1927)

In this new series, I’m watching and reviewing every Academy Award Best Picture winner—starting at the very beginning. From silent-era to modern epics, this podcast is part film history, part personal journey, and part honest conversation about what these legendary movies feel like to watch today. The series begins with Wings (1927), the very first Best Picture winner: a silent epic of friendship, rivalry, and aerial combat that helped define Hollywood spectacle. Nearly a century later, does it still soar, or does it feel grounded by its era?Whether you’re a longtime film lover or just Oscar-curious, this series is about revisiting cinema’s biggest titles one movie at a time—thoughtfully, honestly, and without the hype.This is where the marathon begins. 🍿
