Customer Reviews
Don’t always agree
But this podcast is really amazing for all the background stuff they add about the films and the people involved in them!
Also re the biopic question: there is a Charles Darwin biopic, called Creation and starring Paul Bettany. It was pretty good, but a little bizarre.
Love This Podcast
Best Pick is a great companion for your journey through the Academy Award Best Picture winners. Great reviews, coupled with Academy history and film facts, makes for a very entertaining and educational podcast. Recommend to all film fanatics, whether you're an Oscar watcher or not.
Entertaining & Fun

If you are a movie fan, this podcast is a must. It’s about so much more than the Best Picture Oscar, it’s an entertaining movie history class.
