Craft Brew Film Review Jeffrey & Anthony In this Podcast we compare the Best Picture winner with two of the other nominees at the Academy Awards each year of the Oscars and give our thoughts on each film and whether the Academy picked the best for the winner. We also compare three of the highest grossing films for that year to determine if the Oscars picked the best film of that year, or did moviegoers spend their money on a better movie at the theaters. Jeffrey HATES beer, but Tony is on a mission to find a brew that Jeffrey will enjoy.
