And the Winner Should Have Been...

The Shawshank Redemption

September 11, 2021 Bob and Mark Season 1 Episode 12
And the Winner Should Have Been...
The Shawshank Redemption
Show Notes

This week the discussion is on the Best Picture nominees that were released in 1994. Bob and Mark disagree a bit on the margins, but end up finding more common ground than...uncommon? It rambles on a bit (almost 90 minutes!), perhaps because of the skipped episode missed while Bob was in Milwaukee at a wedding (only the one, and no funerals). Spoilers abound! (As ever.)

Show Notes

The DiCaprio pointing meme that Bob references.
Rita Hayworth (or for actual information)
Amanda Plummer's other notable role
What's a "palooka"?
It was Walking Tall! (But it's not quite a bat, and it was '73, not the '60s. Still.) Remade a few years back with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the Joe Don Baker role.
That scene from Tropic Thunder. (NSFW language)
