Welcome to our Season 4 Premiere! Sara and Dad cover the 4th Academy Awards ceremony (honoring the best in films between August 1, 1930 and July 31, 1931). Although the eligibility timeline covers 12 months, all five nominees are from the first half of 1931, and we speculate on some iconic films that were skipped over. Indeed, we discuss the possibility of doing some bonus episodes this season in order to acknowledge these movies that we wouldn't otherwise have an opportunity to discuss. What do you think? Is this a good idea?
Our day-of-(awards show)-history gives an interesting insight into global politics and mounting tensions in the Pacific (a full decade before the US is pulled into WWII).
Of course, we give an overview of the five films nominated for the top honor, and accessibility issues (some severe) for several of them.
