  • 80 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Hamlet (1948)
    2026/08/13
    We are 80 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and this week we ask: To Brainrot? Or not to Brainrot? That is the question. 'Tis better to have Brainrotted and lost than... wait. Wrong one. This is 1948's Hamlet, the winner of the 21st Academy Awards.


    We welcome back our friend from Rebecca, Laurence Olivier; he has redefined himself as a Shakespearean thespian, perhaps THE Shakespearean thespian at least until Kenneth Branagh and Baz Luhrmann come around. This is one of many of his adaptations, but undoubtedly the most successful, taking home 4 Oscars, including Picture and Best Actor for himself. It's the story of a Danish prince, told arguably by recasting all the characters as lions and jungle animals - so how does a classic human-led Shakespeare fare with the Brainrot crew?


    In this episode you're gonna hear:
    • All of our histories with and feelings on Shakespeare
    • Why it does or doesn't make sense how much Taylor Swift is entranced with the character of Ophelia
    • How the British dominated the 21st Academy Awards in a sharp denial of American studios
    • A return of the Brainrot summary - this time for the story of Hamlet

  • 81 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Gentleman's Agreement (1947)
    2026/08/06
    We are 81 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and this week it's time for a very special episode. Like the Oscars in the late 40s, we are here to talk about antisemitism, and will do so through the lens of the well-meaning Gentleman's Agreement.


    There's something to be said about earnest tackling of social issues by movies; they can uncover real rifts within society, attemping to diagnose and even heal them where possible. However, in this movie we have a non-Jewish character pretending to be Jewish to write an article about it. It was based on a best-selling novel at the time, and it came out right after World War II, contemporary with the founding of Israel. One could argue that it's heart is in the right place - but how much weight does that carry for the Brainrot crew?


    In this episode you're gonna hear:
    • How antisemitism has remained a pervasive issue in both America and the world, and how it still affects people today
    • Why Gregory Peck feels like a new era of movie star (it's because he's tall)
    • Just how much this movie feels like an after-school special
    • Our Second Brainrot Oscars, honoring the 11th-20th Best Picture Winners

  • 82 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
    2026/07/30
    We are 82 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and for a second time, the gang is Wylin' out. William Wyler returns to the World War II well with another homefront war drama - but this one focuses on American veterans coming home. This is 1946's The Best Years of Our Lives.


    In the vaguely Midwestern town of Boone City, three veterans return home from World War II, each one bringing new outlooks on life, insecurities, and in some cases, physical disabilities. They have to quickly adapt to being home again and find their place in a world that now feels foreign and in many ways, hostile, towards them. Ultimately this is an emotional epic on a surprisingly small scale, and features a lot to love - but did it hit the mark for everyone here?


    In this episode you're gonna hear:
    • Deep lore on a large and impressive cast of characters
    • How William Wyler is quickly becoming a new favorite director for Sarah
    • Nostalgia for the soda fountain aesthetic
    • A new featured voice on the Brainrot crew!
