Best Picture Breakdown
Welcome to Best Picture Breakdown—a podcast where a father and son embark on the noble, if slightly deranged, quest to watch every single Best Picture winner in Oscar history. Why? Because apparently we haven’t suffered enough. Hosted by Pete Wright (film nerd, podcast veteran, possible time traveler) and his son Nick (Gen Z representative and reluctant silent film survivor), each episode dissects one award-winning movie, asking the critical questions like: “Was this really the best movie of the year?” and “Why is Gary Cooper only in this for two minutes?” Expect old films, new perspectives, cross-generational bickering, unexpectedly heartfelt insights, and the occasional on-mic identity crisis about whether that 1920s bromance was just friendship or, in fact, very, very gay. From Wings to whatever wins next, this is cinema history with jokes. Lots of jokes.
