Jun 13, 2024 Season 6 Episode 3
Claire Bolton, Dan Gibbins, and Erin Weir

It's 1982, and the rift between Academy and Audience grows ever farther. The (many) Oscars go to Richard Attenborough's lengthy biopic Gandhi, bringing you the greatest hits of Mohandas-then-Mahatma Gandhi, managing to fill over three hours of runtime with few insights beyond "Gandhi: Nifty." Meanwhile Steven Spielberg re-conquered Hollywood with the simple tale of a boy and his stranded alien exo-botanist in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial. Whose death earned what reaction from Erin, Claire, and Dan? What makes this the year that Art and Commerce broke up? When you're ready to listen... we'll be right here.
