The Shaw family is on an epic quest to find out which of the Oscar Best Picture winners stands above them all. They’re watching every Academy Award Best Picture Winning film; each episode features two films that share a common thread, pitted against one another in single-elimination. The winner advances to the next round; the loser goes home. It’s a Battle Royale; it’s a Tournament of Champions; it’s March Madness… but with movies. Join Darren, Kendall, Sam, and Ben Shaw (and the occasional special guest) as they get together to talk about what they’ve seen, share some fun film facts, and posit all their opinions - whether educated or completely unfounded. By the time it’s all through, there will be a winner (obviously, There can Only be One): The One Film to Rule them All. The Best of the Best. The Bestest Picture.

It’s a New Year, and we’re back in the saddle again! That’s right, Episode 5 is all about WESTERNS (which, incidentally, is one of the top 7 genres of film).
Join Darren and Kendall as they dive into the first - and second - westerns to win Best Picture: CIMARRON (1931) and DANCES WITH WOLVES (1991).
When you put them together, these two films have it ALL - the Good, the Bad, and the Problematically Ugly. And the Shaws are going to get into every bit of it, plus some additional stuff: movie recommendations, family trip anecdotes, NEXT-LEVEL literary criticism and genre study, and encouragement for students to use more wikipedia.
So get on them spurs, don your hat, and mount up! (it means, “get on your horses”) as THE BESTEST PICTURE PODCAST RIDES AGAIN!
