Listen "1949: Creepy Old Men (feat. Kevin Weir)"
Episode Synopsis
Kevin Weir is back to dig into weirder corners of Oscar history as Academy Vs Audience wraps up the 1940s with two stories of creepy old white dudes having unfortunate levels of success. Best Picture All The King's Men brings us the uncomfortably prescient tale of Willie Stark, a good man driven to corruption by... well there's some confusion on that front... while the box office champ brings us Jolson Sings Again, a biopic sequel of Al Jolson covering everything the previous biopic of Al Jolson left out. So it's like the B-side of a biography, which people paid money to watch. Not the strongest end to a decade of movies, and we're here to unpack it.Find all of our episodes and the rest of Writing Therapy Productions' various entertainments at www.writingtherapyproductions.com
