On this episode of 'Revisiting the Oscars' we're headed back to the 90s for 1996 - the year of Euro 96, the release of Trainspotting and the split of the original incarnation of Take That!
On this year's episode we're treating patients who may or may not be English in The English Patient, arranging a kidnapping of our wives to collect a ransom in Fargo, maintaining deep secrets in Secrets & Lies, starting our own sports agency in Jerry Maguire and trying our hand at piano in Shine
We also discuss the differences between the US and the UK through the prism of plastic/paper bags, and we have a belting Corrie reference for you all. No spoilers!
All this and the usual nonsense, banter and fun facts!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
