I took a deep dive into 1973, along with special guest Frank Mandosa from Reels of Cinema, and after the episode we turned the voting over to you, the people! We didn't agree with any of the Academy's wins that year, so all six categories went to the social media polls for you, the listeners to decide on.  The voting has concluded and it's time to share the results and officially add these winners to the coveted Revisionist's Almanac.  With this episode cycle completed, we turn our attention to episode twenty-five, where I was joined by two first time guests, Frankie & Scott from Shoot the Flick - to dissect the year 2007 (No Country for Old Men winning Best Picture). This episode will release on Friday, January 2nd.

Last season, we created twelve Revised Best Picture winners in the episodes covered, one of those being Saving Private Ryan back in 1998.  This Steven Spielberg film is a seminal piece of work in the war film genre.  Over the course of this episode, you'll hear these contributors talk about their relationship to the film, what their Mt. Rushmore of war films is, if they think this deserved Best Picture over Shakespeare in Love, and much more.
