| 4/24/26 |  Cavalcade (1932/33) | Well, here's a film that is near the bottom of many lists of all the Oscar winners for Best Picture. Why do people have such an affinity towards Cavalcade (1933)? It's a film that is very disappointing as the storyline about a British family and their servants go through 32 years full of major events, including war, the death of the queen, and the sinking of the Titanic. Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar from all the films that were eligible from the 6th Ann... | 1h 14m 18s | ||||||
| 4/4/26 |  The King's Speech (2010) | This film is a powerful story about friendship, perserverance, and duty. The King's Speech showed us the incredible talents of both Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush. It is a special movie that may be slower paced than other films from 2010. However, it is worth your time. It feels even more powerful because it is a true story. A wonderful telling of a king who's voice was truly needed during WWII. Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar for 2010? Listen and find out what f... | 1h 29m 14s | ||||||
| 3/17/26 |  Bonus Episode 16: Oscars Recap 2026 | Another Oscar broadcast for the history books! Download and listen to Jack's take on the 98th Annual Academy Awards that took place on Sunday, March 15th. It was a huge night for One Battle After Another ... but there were other winners that put smiles on our faces ... including in the Acting categories. There was even a tie in one of the categories. Host Conan O'Brien did a great job as well. The night went pretty smoothly. Download and listen to Jack's take on ... | 1h 09m 10s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 |  Bonus Episode 15: Final Oscar Predictions 2026 | Only a few days until the big night, so I guess it's time for film critic Jack Ferdman to make his final picks. He has seen all the films ... that's not surprising. But what is, are some of the predictions he has made for what will win each and every one of the 23 little golden statuettes that will be given out on Sunday, March 15th. Will he pick One Battle After Another or Sinners for Best Picture? It seems like three of the four acting categories are up for grabs with no clear favouri... | 42m 52s | ||||||
| 2/27/26 |  Dances With Wolves (1990) | This is truly an epic film ... in many ways. The scope, the cinematography, the story. And it all comes from the vision of Kevin Costner. The film is long ... and early on it feels long. But the beauty and themes take over. It's an important film. Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar for 1990? Listen and find out what film critic Jack Ferdman thinks, and which film he chooses for his Rewatch Oscar of that year. This is one special film ... so ... | 1h 26m 02s | ||||||
| 2/13/26 |  Casablanca (1943) | In this episode of Rewatching Oscar, a classic masterpiece is discussed. Yes, Casablanca has stood the test of time. From the great quotes, the amazing performances, the memorable characters, the love story, and even the wonderful emotional song, As Time Goes By, we remember it all. Looking back, was it deserving of the Best Picture Oscar for 1943? Listen and find out what film critic Jack Ferdman thinks, and which film he chooses for his Rewatch Oscar of that year. This is one special ... | 1h 18m 47s | ||||||
| 1/30/26 |  Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) | In this episode of Rewatching Oscar, a film that is very VERY odd, confusing, and all over the place. But I guess that is the point of it. It tackles tons of themes, has incredible performances, and scenes that will both baffle and intrigue you. The movie, of course, is Everything Everywhere All At Once. If you don't think about your own personal life, with all the positives, negatives ... and everything in between that fill your days, then you should check your pulse. This is a s... | 1h 31m 47s | ||||||
| 1/23/26 |  Bonus Episode 14: Oscar Nominations Announced Recap | Well ... the nominations our out! Yes, it's one of those great times of the year in the cinema calendar. Time to analyze all the films that recieved an Oscar nomination for the 98th Annual Academy Awards which will be televised live on March 15th, 2026. But on Thursday, January 22nd history was made. The great film Sinners did something that no other film in history has done. It received a whopping 16 Oscar nominations ... two more than any other film had previously garnered... | 54m 51s | ||||||
| 12/26/25 |  All About Eve (1950) | In this episode of Rewatching Oscar, I dive into one of the greatest films ever made about the theatre, stardom, and the razor-sharp ambition lurking behind the curtain: All About Eve. Released in 1950 and starring the legendary Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, and Thelma Ritter, this Oscar-winning classic isn't just a masterclass in acting—it's a biting, witty, and surprisingly timeless take on fame, friendship, manipulation, and power. We’ll explore the film’s iconic ... | 1h 15m 22s | ||||||
| 12/12/25 |  Green Book (2018) | Green Book (2018) at first glance seems like a twist ... a retelling of another Best Picture winner ... Driving Miss Daisy. It's not. This movie is mostly about the connection between two men from different worlds who learn to understand each other during a road trip. It's a very entertaining film ... but looking back, did the Academy get it right and award the right film the top award at the Oscars Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything ab... | 1h 19m 46s | ||||||

| 11/21/25 |  Cimarron (1931) | There are many classics that went on to take home the top prize at the Oscars. And there are those that, well ... let's just say that we still shake our heads why certain films got on the Academy voters' good graces in such a way that they were chosen as Best Picture of that year. At the fourth Academy Awards ceremony, Cimarron was selected as the best film. However, after almost a century later the question isn't really if it deserved it, the question is "how could that hav... | 1h 02m 07s | ||||||
| 11/7/25 |  A Man For All Seasons (1966) | A Man For All Seasons is a film about integrity and morality. Standing up against authoritarian that feels very relevant with what is happening tody in 2025. The performance of Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas More is nothing short of brilliant. And with an incredibly written and thoughtfully paced script, as well as perfect direction by Fred Zinnemann, make this movie truly special. Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about A Man For All Sea... | 1h 29m 44s | ||||||
| 10/17/25 |  The Departed (2006) | In a year when there were many good films, but few that really were incredible, Martin Scorsese was the big winner at the Oscars ... and for the first time in his career. He finally won Best Director for his gang film about deception, loyalty, and even rats. The Departed is one hell of a ride. A great script, incredible performances by an A-list cast, and memorable scenes make this a truly special film. However, looking back almost two decades, did the Academy get it right? Was it deser... | 1h 12m 17s | ||||||
| 10/3/25 |  The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) | What a year it was! Some great, legendary classics came out in 1957. But it was The Bridge on the River Kwai that came out on top at the Academy Awards for that year. David Lean's WWII classic about obsession is still as riveting as it was almost seven decades later. With brilliant performances by the entire cast, especially Alec Guinness and Sessue Hayakawa, the film is captivating in every aspect ... including the legendary whistling tune Colonel Bogey March. However, was it deserving... | 1h 24m 32s | ||||||
| 9/19/25 |  Bonus Episode 13: TIFF50 Recap | Well ... another year is done. The 50th Annual Toronto International Film Festival is over. Eleven days ... eleven looooooong incredible days of dozens and dozens of films, conversations with directors, actors, producers, organizers, fellow film critics, and of course the thousands of fans. It was an absolutely incredible adventure for film critic Jack Ferdman. On this podcast, he shares his take on the festival and some of the amazing, and not-so-amazing films he saw at this festival. ... | 48m 03s | ||||||

| 8/15/25 |  How Green Was My Valley (1941) | In 1941, there were a couple of classic films that were released and are currently revered by critics and cinephiles alike. But the Academy decided to choose a drama about a family in a mining town in Welsh town, focusing on a young boy and his perspective of the events that unfold around him. This film, directed by John Ford, is a moving story and visually striking. However, was it deserving of the five Oscars it won, including the Best Picture prize?

| 8/1/25 |  Annie Hall (1977) | There are only a handful of comedies that changed cinema ... and even fewer that took home the Best Picture Oscar. Annie Hall was both of those things. Woody Allen's career, with this classic, altered the course of his career from hysterical madcap comedies to hysterical, deep-meaning thought provoking artful films that became a template for future rom-coms. He used every stylistic trick in the book to make his point. From breaking the fourth wall to split-screen dialogues and eve... | 1h 15m 19s | ||||||
| 7/18/25 |  Gladiator (2000) | There are small, medium, and big films ... and then there are HUGE ones. Those epic films. that are grandiose spectacles. Gladiator was made to be one of those larger-than-life films. The battles, the colosseum, and everything are huge. Ridley Scott was the perfect director to bring this film to life, and Russell Crowe and Joaquim Phoenix are perfect foes battling it out. Gladiator is a lot of fun ... and there is a lot of heart and emotion to it as well. But does it still deserve to be... | 1h 21m 26s | ||||||
| 7/4/25 |  The Life of Emile Zola (1937) | There are all kinds of films ... films that entertain us, films that move us, and those that are important. This best picture winner does all that. The Life of Emile Zola is a movie that will stir up your emotions as it relates to the world of today. A world that is divisive and full of the powers that be that control our world ... for both good and bad. This William Dieterlie-directed film, about the life of the famous French author, Emile Zola, and his batter to help free a man who wa... | 1h 12m 09s | ||||||
| 6/20/25 |  Out of Africa (1985) | There were many great films in 1985. However, the Academy decided to give its Best Picture Oscar to a long and sweeping epic that was touted as a romance for the ages. A film that had the beauty of a continent, A-list actors in Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, and it's love story. Out of Africa was a box-office blockbuster. However, many critics have felt that film's shine has tarnished over the years. Well, did it really deserve to win the top prize of that year? Listen to film c... | 1h 33m 43s | ||||||
| 6/6/25 |  The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) | In an age where people started to stay home to watch television and listen to the radio, and attendance in movie theatres was waning, big spectacles were the way to get people interested in cinema again. Also, the resurgence of the circus was on the rise. Cecil B. De Mille, known for directing huge extravaganzas, decided to combine the two and make this huge epic film about a story with the big top, and all its glory, as the backdrop. The Greatest Show on Earth was a huge blockbuster. It went... | 1h 19m 40s | ||||||
| 5/23/25 |  CODA (2021) | The Oscar for Best Picture is usually given to films that are epics or biographies. On the rare occasion maybe a western or a thriller. But it is extremely rare for a film that is sweet and somewhat small in scope. But in 2021 there was a film that grabbed the attention of audiences, and film critics got on board as well. That film was Sian Heder's sweet movie about a young girl trying to find herself in a world outside of the confines of her parents and brother who happen to be deaf.&n... | 1h 23m 59s | ||||||
| 5/9/25 |  West Side Story (1961) | The passion of music and choreography in film was never more prevalent than in the Best Picture winner of 1961. West Side Story is a story about love, gangs, cultural wars, and ultimately tragedy. But mostly it's about the music and dance. We remember all the songs ... incredible tunes including Tonight, I Feel Pretty, Officer Krupke, and of course America. They have stood the test of time. We also love the story of two young adults madly in love amidst the turmoil and hate of other cul... | 1h 30m 04s | ||||||
| 4/25/25 | Slumdog Millionaire (2008) | Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was a huge game show that started in 1998, and then it became a global phenomenon by around 2005. Soooo .... it isn't surprising that a film that was made based on that show. But no one could have imagined the huge success this small film that had a hard time getting any funding to be made, about that game show in India, and was directed by a white British filmmaker. Slumdog Millionaire is more than just a film about a game show. It's about poverty, class and cul... | 1h 20m 03s | ||||||
