I am always at the end of the 1950s already. Time flies...

Of the three films in this quiz that were nominated in documentary categories, one is a PSA, one is narrative feature film, and one is a fancyful allegorical short film. Because for decades, the Academy had absolutely no clue what a documentary is.

📽️New Video!🎥

Canadian actress Geneviève Bujold rose to stardom as Anne Boleyn in "Anne of the Thousand Days". This video looks at how she was cast, her collaboration with Richard Burton, and why she ultimately stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight.

Time for another quiz. Apologies to fans of Above and Beyond for the hint of snark in my plot description.

Confession: I did not know Alicia Silverstone was in Bugonia, I did not recognize her when she was on screen, and when I saw her name in the end credits, my jaw briefly dropped, and it took me a few seconds to figure out which character she played.

Time for another quiz. Please excuse the somewhat sassy clue for the one film that seems to have vanished from the face of the Earth.

Two James Dean films in this quiz. Apparently there was no place for them in the Best Picture lineup, because we needed to highlight Picnic and Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing instead.

There is a lot of bonus information for one of the films in this quiz that I tried to squeeze in somehow. See if you can spot what I mean.

No separation between color and black and white this year, which leads to a rather brief quiz when compared to others from the series recently and yet to come.

Seated for a screening of North by Northwest, and the cinema is packed. Happy to see Hitchcock still sells well.

Absolutely terrific video! You should all go and watch it.
🎥New video🎥

Jane Fonda and Liza Minnelli were born into Hollywood royalty but that didn’t make things easy. In this video I talk about their childhoods, their relationships with their parents, how they each found their own way as performers and their big breakthroughs in 1969

We start off October with a bang: GHOSTWATCH (1992)

A horror legend with a major cult following, the film that tricked (traumatized) a nation into believing in ghosts. What begins as a normal Halloween special morphs into something far more horrifying

Sorry, releasing this quiz a day late. I guess I was too busy contemplating the fact that the Academy watched Vertigo, and then nominated it for Sound and Art Direction and nothing else. In a year in which Gigi swept big.

Remember the 1950s?

Well, probably not. But my quiz series has arrived there anyway.

I can't tell you how often I have re-watched this skit today. Perfect (and very specific) writing meets top-notch delivery.

I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at the word "whatever".

Genius.

There is a film from 1960 that has received seven Oscar nominations. It's filled with star cameos, includin Jack Lemmon, who reprises his performance from Some Like It Hot in it.

And you have probably never heard of it. It's in the top left corner of this quiz.

Have you ever watched a decades-old sitcom about a child and thought, "I want to see that child get a divorce!"

Well, look no further than STILL THE BEAVER! He's divorced, he's fighting for custody, and his brother Wally is fucking A LOT!
