The Revisionist’s Almanac

On The Revisionist's Almanac, Andrew and rotating guests dive deep into the Oscars to see which winners have stood the test of time, and which haven't.   Andrew is heading back to the start of the millennium, to the 73rd Academy Awards, and he's bringing Christina Jeurling Birro from Pop Culture Confidential with him to debate Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Erin Brockovich, Gladiator, Traffic, and more! And even though he couldn't join the episode, Jeff Rauseo was originally set to be a guest, and his contributions were worked in throughout.    Introductions (0:00) 2000 Overview & Gorham Awards (2:50) Best Supporting Actress (20:45) Best Supporting Actor (29:37) Best Actress (40:07) Best Actor (51:09) Best Director (59:41) Best Picture (1:11:46) Shameless Plugs (1:20:38)   After the episode, if you liked what you heard, go check out the entire back catalog of Almanac episodes.   The Revisionist's Almanac is a proud member of the Movie Archer Podcast Network - Movie Archer   Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revalmanac/ Follow me on Bluesky: The Revisionist’s Almanac 🎥🎞️🍿 (@revalmanac.bsky.social) — Bluesky  Follow me on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/RevAlmanac Follow me on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/RevAlmanac/ Follow me on Podbean: https://revisionistalmanac.podbean.com/ Email the show at [email protected]    Follow everything Christina & Jeff are doing   Check out Christina's Pop Culture Confidential - https://open.spotify.com/show/7dGJMoM9CM0nFkpHJ3ZMMd?si=706342f48a9246fa    Follow Christina on the socials - @christinabirro   Follow Jeff on the socials - @jeffrauseo

It's time for a brand-new addition to the RevAlmanac channel!    Reel Arguments is a series that will cover a specific topic in a 2v2 battle where each team will make their case for why their side of the argument is correct. Your job: to act as the jury and decide who made the better, more convincing points.    For this pilot episode, we put two directorial legends and brothers against one another - Ridley Scott v. Tony Scott.    Heather Stewart and Simon from Movie the Needle defended Ridley, while Andrew and Carl from Movie the Needle defended Tony.    Check out the Movie the Needle podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/1H9kTQT7C0oFpBd0RP6Jo8?si=2a62e4730f8b4dd9  Follow Movie the Needle on the socials - @mtnmoviepod Follow Heather Stewart on the socials - @heatherjstewart   Check out all RevAlmanac video content at Movie Archer Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revalmanac/ Follow me on Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/RevAlmanac Follow me on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/RevAlmanac/ Follow me on Podbean: https://revisionistalmanac.pod

With The Mandalorian and Grogu releasing this weekend, I wanted to talk about the film and all things Star Wars...but I couldn't do it alone!

Beautiful, Pam (2026) follows a Queer sex-worker, named Pam, in the midst of a mid-life crisis during the week of their son’s 18th birthday.    This 63-minute film is the creation of the ultra-talented J.R. Stokes, his second feature length project. I sat down to talk with J.R. about his backstory, his New York roots, and about all the things that go into pulling off a great independent film like Beautiful, Pam.    Check out Beautiful, Pam for yourself on YouTube - https://youtu.be/X4RbN36ussc?si=WCRgTJKOQC6Fehup    Follow the film on Instagram - @beautifulpamfilm Follow J.R.
