Episode 034 - Best Picture 1929 - The Broadway Melody

September 16, 2014 by Danny Sarnowski in Best Picture Winner

Well, here it is. The one that started it all. The first picture to ever win the Academy Award for Best Picture (technically the second, but you'll learn about that in the episode) - The Broadway Melody from 1929. If you like "talkies" that double as silent films, or amateurish stage productions, or creepy sister-fiancee-sister relationship triangles then hold your hats. This one is for you. Give the episode a listen to hear what the guys thought of this golden oldie.
