Rewatching Oscar

WOW! This was one Oscar broadcast for the history books! Download and listen to Jack's take on this crazy night ... otherwise called the 94th Annual Academy Awards that took place on March 27th, 2022.

But everyone is talking about Will Smith and the slap heard around the movie world. Everyone has an opinion on it ... and of course, Jack does as well (and everything that happened that night).

The Shape of Water (2017)
Rewatching Oscar
11/24/23 • 71 min
There are films that seem strange when you read the plot outline. You think to yourself, why would this be made? Then you find out that the perfect guy for this story is the director, so you think it could work. Well, Guillermo del Toro made this fantasy about a mute woman in 1962 who falls in love with an Amphibian Man. The Shape of Water is a great film full of wonderful performances ... however, it's the direction and technical elements of this Best Picture winner from 2017 that make it all work so perfectly. Upon rewatch, is it the best film of that year? Download and listen to Jack's take on this film as well as all the other greats from 2017 and hear which film he thinks deserves his Rewatch Oscar.

Parasite (2019)
Rewatching Oscar
12/13/24 • 83 min
It took over nine decades for the Academy to award the Best Picture of the year to a foreign language film. And although there were hundreds of brilliant masterpieces that could have won, including eleven other films that were nominated prior to 2019, it was well worth the wait! Parasite is truly a special film full of incredible performances, great direction, a brilliant screenplay, and so many deep themes to analyze. It really is that good. However, 2019 was a great year in cinema. Looking back, did Parasite deserve the Oscar for the top prize?
Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about Parasite, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 2019.

Bonus Episode 8: TIFF2024
Rewatching Oscar
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!

All the King's Men (1949)
Rewatching Oscar
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.

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

The French Connection (1971)
Rewatching Oscar
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.

It Happened One Night (1934)
Rewatching Oscar
12/27/24 • 79 min
Romantic-screwball comedies had to start sometime ... and that sometime was early 1934. And there was a film that took Hollywood by storm ... Frank Capra's It Happened One Night. This film is one of only three films to home the Big 5 on Oscar night (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay). So many great scenes, great lines, wonderful direction, and incredible performances by Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert make this movie a true gem of cinema. After 90 years, does this film still stand the test of time? In hindsight, should it still be regarded as the best of 1934?
Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about It Happened One Night, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1934.

Rain Man (1988)
Rewatching Oscar
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.
