Fritz and I certainly had a lot of disagreements on some of the films we represented, respectively. Friendly disagreements, of course. And we gave Spencer Tracy's performance in Boys Town the aggressively mild assessment that it deserves.Check out Fritz' YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyEmsdzu1fOend2xlyA2aPgTwitter: https://twitter.com/Gabe_The_Joker / https://twitter.com/FritzandOscars / https://twitter.com/AlternateOscarsLetterboxd:...

1934 - the year a single movie defined an entire genre! Categorically Oscars co-host Chris Makas was gracious enough to join me as we discussed the films of 1934, a truly stellar year, from the beauty of The Scarlet Empress, to how Frank Capra essentially saved the Academy, to the Bette Davis controversy, to how the Academy passed over so many classics for disposable trash in terms of what they actually nominated.Chris Makas' blog: https://oscarsandi.wordpress.com/Categorically Oscars blog:...

The lovely Emily Blakowski and I had a blast discussing the films of 1933!

What a year to be talking about! Jackson DeStefano joins me as we take out the trash of 1929, and reward the few good movies that were released that year and eligible for the Oscars.

And we both agreed on the greatness...
