Editing The Academy

Laura and Darryl

Two friends get together to discuss the best picture nominees of each year starting in 1969. We discuss each nominated film in detail breaking down the technical aspects, character development, acting, story presentation, etc. But, we also chat about how they hit us...our emotional reactions.

So join us as we dive deep in these films and discuss whether academy made
