Filmotomy Podcast Episode 30: Was 1983 Such A Poor Year For Film?

Podcast 30 already, and we rewind to 1983 to discuss the notion of it being one of the very worst years in cinema. Filmotomy Deputy Editor Steve Schweighofer is your host this week. He recruits the varied film expertise of Daniel Smith-Rowsey, Rob Motto, and Robin Write. The gurus look at the films, bad and good, as well as what was happening in the world to make sense of it all. * Excerpts from: "Terms of Endearment" score by Michael Gore, "What a Feeling (Flashdance)" by Caroline Costa; Trading Places, War Games, Rembetiko, The Right Stuff, Return of the Jedi, The Meaning of Life; Barbra Streisand at the Golden Globes, 1984, Johnny Carson at the Academy Awards, 1984.
