About this episode

The episode discusses Best Picture nominees that should have won the Oscar throughout history.

Good evening ladies, gents, and those who remain unaffiliated! This black tie affair is reserved for part three of the 2026 Summer of Lists: Academy Award what ifs. That's right, we're taking a look back at Oscar's nearly 100 years of history to identify the Best Picture nominees that probably should have won the big award. Come with us as we rewrite history and secure justice for some great movies—as you listen, we had one caveat, the winner had to come from the pool of nominees. Did we miss the mark? Do you strongly agree with some of our controversial choices? Let us know at goodtrashgenrecast@gmail.com! Tune in next week as the Summer of Lists continues!
