Shea Cinema: The Best Picture Project
TLDR; Father/Daughter team watch and review all movies nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, starting back in 1927.
Welcome to Shea Cinema, The Best Picture Project!
Join host Sara Shea and her father, William Shea, as they watch and explore every film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Sara and Dad are recreating a project Sara assigned to her high school Film Studies students, which includes contextual historical research, discussing their personal responses to each film, what makes these films important, why these films need to be understood in context, and, finally, did the winner deserve the Oscar?
So grab your popcorn, pull up a chair, sit back and relax, and let's begin Shea Cinema.

S6E5: I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang, 1932 (feat. Kieran B)
For our second regular nomination review of the season, we are excited to welcome Kieran B. from Best Picture Cast as our first official guest host! Kieran, Dad and Sara take a deep dive into this classic Warner Brothers prison flick, making connections to Les Misérables, Ben Hur, The Shawshank Redemption (of course), and even Stranger Things.
As a special treat, our history timeline includes a game-by-game look at the 1932 World Series, which features some surprises of its own.
Please leave us a review wherever you are listening!
