Rewatching Oscar

04/19/24 • 79 min

What an incredible year in cinema! There were so many great films to close out the decade. It was a time when Hollywood turned a new page and began making deeper, darker, and more rich films. And one of those films was this classic starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman ... Midnight Cowboy. This movie rocked a lot of people when it came out with its risqué story with homosexual overtones. Despite some of those critics, the film was a huge box -ffice success. Does the film hold up after all these years?
Download and listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on this modern-day classic. Hear if he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1969 to this dark heartbreaking film.

Rewatching Oscar

play

10/18/24 • 92 min

Another year ... another biopic wins Best Picture. This time it's Gandhi's turn. A film that covers 50 years of a man who has been revered by millions upon millions of people around the world. The performance of Sir Ben Kingley as this small, meek person with no position in government taking on the British in order to get India its sovereignty is absolutely remarkable. However, is that performance enough to make this three hour biopic brilliant on every other level. Also, was it deserving for the top prize, Best Picture, of 1982?
Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about Gandhi as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1982.

09/20/24 • 67 min

Film critic and historian, Jack Ferdman, loves this time of year! He's a proud Torontonian ... so why wouldn't he love early September? It's not just because of the beauty of fall in his hometown. It's mostly because he goes to his favourite event every year ... The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). And 2024 was no different. It's one of the best events for Cinema in the world. And this year, Jack interacted with many actors, directors, critics, and of course fans, and shared the passion with them (and visa versa) during the 11 days TIFF took place. He also, of course, screened 20 films and, on this bonus episode of Rewatching Oscar, he shares his take on each and every one of those movies, as well as the event itself.
What a ride he had ... as he always does at TIFF. Take a listen!

Rewatching Oscar - All the King's Men (1949)
play

11/15/24 • 102 min

Here is a film that is eerily similar to what has been happening in the United States political world since 2016. The movie is All the King's Men, a story about greed, corruption, and those who blindly fall prey to those in power. Great direction by Robert Rossen, wonderful acting, and a script based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, launched this film all the way to a Best Picture Oscar victory for 1949? But 75 years later, does it still hold up enough to be regarded as the best film of that
Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about All the King's Men, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1949.

Rewatching Oscar - You Can't Take It With You (1938)
play

03/01/24 • 65 min

Many directors fit certain categories of filmmaking ... when you think of films that focus on the little guy overcoming obstacles and beating corporations or banks or the rich ... well, you think of Frank Capra. Capra won three Academy Awards in 5 years and the last win is likely his least-known film for movie fans of today, You Can't Take It With You. This zany screwball comedy has a message and heart, but it also has wonderful performances by Jimmy Stewart, Jean Arthur, and especially Lionel Barrymore. However, is that enough to have film critic Jack Ferdman give it his Rewatching Oscar of 1938? Download and listen to his take on this forgotten Best Picture winner.

Rewatching Oscar - The French Connection (1971)
play

02/02/24 • 78 min

The 1970s were the dawn of a new generation of filmmakers. The era between 1967 and 1979 is known as New Hollywood cinema. Directors and screenwriters began making films with fewer reigns on them and trying new riskier stories, with styles used predominately in European films. The French Connection is a perfect example of how darker and edgier stories with anti-heroes as the protagonists became the norm and how many more of these movies were becoming more mainstream. The Best Picture winner of 1971 was not only critically acclaimed but was also a box-office blockbuster. But was it the best film of the year? Check out Jack's analysis of this classic, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1971 to.

Rewatching Oscar - Rain Man (1988)

Rain Man (1988)

Rewatching Oscar

play

06/30/23 • 58 min

Well, it's time for film critic, Jack Ferdman, to go back 35 years and dive head-first into the movies that rocked us in 1988. Ok, not every movie was great that year. However, most of us saw and loved the Academy Award winner from that year, Rain Man. Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise definitely moved us with the story of two brothers reuniting after the death of their father. Hoffman won the Oscar for Best Actor, and the film was a box-office smash! But does the film hold up all these years later? As always, Jack has his take on everything film related, including if Rain Man is still worthy of the Best Picture Oscar, or if another great from that year deserves the Rewatch Oscar. Download and listen to Jack's analysis of this classic.
