2001 - Oscars to the Maximus!

Hey Oscar fans, today Bruce and “Tex” are checking out the 2001 Oscars for films of 2000 and we must say, this century got off to a great start!  All five Best Picture candidates are not only worthy, but still stand the test of time as do many of the other contenders or would-be contenders.  And while this year isn’t perfect, it’s a lot better than most in terms of what was nominated and what actually won.  But alas, just because they came close, doesn’t mean there aren’t some curious things worth debating and talking about.  So, join as we do just that for this incredible year of movies.  If nothing else, ‘you will be entertained!’ (Especially by Bruce’s backstage stories as he worked on this year!)  As always, thanks for listening and being part of the fun!
