Oscars Preview 2022

The 94th Academy Awards are only days away and for the first time in many years, we weren't big fans of a lot of the nominees. For that matter, we weren't huge fans of most of the 2021 movies in general. Judging by what many respected critics are saying, the Ellises are the outliers. Well, groupthink is dull anyway, right? We'll be tweeting live on the big night (@moviefiend51 and @bevellisellis) as Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall host the most controversial Oscars in years, especially considering ABC's baffling edict to cut a slew of the awards presentations to speed up the live broadcast. As for what you're in for in the 434th Ellises' Analysis, we discussed all the candidates for Best Picture, Best Director, the 2 writing categories and all 4 acting categories. By the way, if you're looking to catch up on all the (mediocre) 2021 flicks that you haven't yet seen, most of the major nominees are now available on one streaming service or another. Anyway, give our hour's worth of nay-saying a listen, but also look for our Oscars Post-View the night after the show. We'll probably say more nay. Sparkplug Coffee is our longtime sponsor. They haven't won any awards. That's probably ABC's fault too. But they WILL reward our listeners a one-time 20% discount if they use our promo code ("top100project") at check-out. The Top 100 Project website is kaput. Budget cuts in the Ellis household. Now is the time to subscribe and be a downloader!

Airport

The podcast rulebook says you have to cover a plane movie for episode #747, so I went with the daddy of the '70s disaster craze. The planes are 707s in Airport, but oh well. George Seaton writes & dir...

The Last Laugh

F.W. Murnau didn't live long enough to direct a huge slate of films, but the man bullhorning The Last Laugh also has Nosferatu, Faust and Sunrise on his resume. Like those, The Last Laugh is a silent ...

The Rock

It's as if 007 went to prison for decades, was let out by government guys played by John Spencer & William Forsythe and then he had to help a nerdy Nicolas Cage save hostages on a deserted island. Wel...

Moulin Rouge

The first episode of a non-theme month here in June (and the 743rd overall) gets loud about Baz Luhrmann's bombastic Moulin Rouge. It's the kind of zany project where the director and star of this Par...

My Darling Clementine & Gunfight & Tombstone
