Moonlight (2016)

Episode 53: MOONLIGHT I'm going to refrain from making "La La Land-no oops-Moonlight" jokes in the episode description. There's plenty of that silliness in the episode. If you don't know what that means, just listen in and we'll tell you all about it. Aside from all the talk of Oscarcast goofs, we do actually get into a pretty in depth discussion on this very serious, very personal drama, following a young boy becoming a man in an impoverished section of Miami. Moonlight shocked the industry by winning the Best Picture Academy Award (TM) for 2016. It ranks #17 on our countdown.* Come back again next week as we whistle and march our way into David Lean's 1957 epic The Bridge on the River Kwai. Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
