This week on the podcast we round out the rest of the Best Picture contenders according to Gold Derby with the December releases - Women Talking (which admittedly I haven't seen), Avatar Way of Water, and Babylon, with fellow AODR discord member Whitney Joe.

In addition to the main topic, we go over the results of the Golden Globes, PGA, DGA and SAG nominations. We also talk with friend of the show Adele, Co-Director of the AODR Film Festival going on right now.

NYC B&W Films - 1950's "All About Eve" & 1960's "The Apartment" | Best Picture Marathon

On this second episode of the Best Picture Marathon of the Oscars Death Race Podcast, I am joined LIVE FROM NEW YORK CITY with co-host of the Classic Movies Podcast and longtime friend of the show Jeff on his recent visit to the Big Apple! Coming at you from a diner in midtown Manhattan (so pardon the sound quality), we talk about two Black and White films to win Best Picture that happen to be set in NYC - 1950's "All About Eve" (one of the most nominated films ever) and 1960's "the Apartment" (which I actually got to see the actual apartment right before recording this). We talk about the impact of these two monumental films and how well they capture that Big Apple Energy
