Shea Cinema: The Best Picture Project
TLDR; Father/Daughter team watch and review all movies nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, starting back in 1927.
Welcome to Shea Cinema, The Best Picture Project!
Join host Sara Shea and her father, William Shea, as they watch and explore every film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Sara and Dad are recreating a project Sara assigned to her high school Film Studies students, which includes contextual historical research, discussing their personal responses to each film, what makes these films important, why these films need to be understood in context, and, finally, did the winner deserve the Oscar?
So grab your popcorn, pull up a chair, sit back and relax, and let's begin Shea Cinema.

S6E3: The Most Dangerous Game, 1932 BONUS EPISODE!
This is our 50th episode!
For our second review of the season, we have another bonus episode! We are covering The Most Dangerous Game, based on a 1924 short story by Richard Connell. This film was made by the same crew who made King Kong, even filming on the same sets, and using several of the same actors.
We also welcome guest (and family member) Jerry Shea, a retired English teacher who used the short story and movie in his classroom.
Our history timeline includes some fun baseball stats, as well as a look at the very first Venice International Film Festival.
Please leave us a review wherever you are listening!
