The news is grim across the sea but grand old Hollywood is booming. In this episode we head back to 1939 in an attempt to grapple with the average movie goer on the cusp of World War II. We first get a taste of American mythology as we travel through Monument Valley and its hoof stamped legacy. After that we board an ocean liner bound for New York City to witness a fated pair of 102nd floor crossed lovers. This episodes' following films are...

Ben and Kit finish up the 44th Academy Awards and it is a doozy. We describe this year as a rather bleak year for cinema. Iconic in every sense of the word as we step off the stage to the familial strife of a beloved Russian Jewish family before taking a turn for the not so great. Be warned that the dark underside through the eyes of a youthful delinquent is not for the faint of heart. So if you wish to avoid watching this little horror show, you're in the right place because we basically tell you the whole story. Compared to this story however, the hero of the Oscar Best Picture winner is a saint. The following films in this episode are...

-

Fiddler on the Roof

A Clockwork Orange

The French Connection
