This week the Time Pals are going to the movies, only thistime they’re playing their version of “Eff, Marry, Kill” with some the most questionable Best Picture winners from the 1990’s. From bloated epics to forgettable dramas, join your pals as they break down which films didn’t deserve their golden statues and, more importantly, find the films that truly needed some Oscar glory.

Would you replace American Beauty with Man on theMoon? Are you the kind of person to dropkick Driving Miss Daisy for Batman? Are you a Thin Red Line apologist or are you wrong?

Join us as we re-write Oscar history and do what our parents’generation didn’t have the guts to do: Nominate Natural Born Killers.

Got a movie you think deserved the gold? Let us know! And don’t forget to subscribe, rate, and time pal responsibly.
