Our Oscars ‘91 series comes to an end with the 64th Academy Awards, live from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. And what an…Oscars it was. Look, we won’t mince words, this was a boring Oscars. No one looks particularly excited to be there, even Billy Crystal. At least he had an excuse, fighting through the flu to give a lackluster performance. This was the tail end of the Oscars taking itself far too seriously, and it shows. Though there’s some good bits, some memorable jokes, and, if you know literally anything about Oscars history, a big winner for the night. Throw on your tux or gown and get ready for our final discussion of Oscars ‘91 this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

Our show wraps up season 6 with a quick recap of the 95th Academy Awards, in which Jimmy Kimmel only tiptoed over the line a few times and someone in a bear costume tripped Elizabeth Banks and accosted Malala Yousafzai. That was the wildest (and funniest moment) of the night in a still enjoyable Oscars - fun bits, good presentations, and lovely speeches. But the big winner of the night are those weirdos who made the weirdest and most beautiful movie of the year, Everything Everywhere All at Once. We can’t help but be overjoyed at the result, considering we’ve been hailing the movie as our favorite for a whole calendar year. And while the Academy still needs to nominate some women in directing categories and re-examine their actor nominees, overall, it’s been a pretty great year for movies, and for new voices. Grab some popcorn or your favorite hangover cure as we talk about this year’s Oscars on the season finale of Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

Our last movie for the series is so good, we just don’t have much to say about it. Get a story about two strong Southern women, wrap it in a beautiful plot about a pushover finally finding her own strength in the world, and give the bow of Jessica Tandy being the best storyteller ever. That’s all you need for this beautiful story about friendship, love, and the South. The cast is incredible, the writing is impeccable, and the directing is…well, it’s exactly what it needs to be. In fact, the only problem is the fact that this movie wasn’t able to get to the deeper romance between its two leads - and even then, it’s still pretty romantic.

This week we’re back with another appearance from one of the show’s most polarizing figures, but this time, she’s not the issue. No, Barbra actually brings some nuance and care to this movie, but the problem is the actual movie itself, or rather, the novel it’s based on. There’s a whole lot that has to be unpacked in this story, and much of it more thoughtfully and carefully than anyone involved really had time for. It’s not hard to see why this movie was a hit, for sure, but Barbra’s wearing too many hats, and even an all-time great performance from Nick Nolte can’t save this movie from sinking under the weight of all its trauma voyeurism and horrible ethics. Get ready to share way too much as we discuss The Prince of Tides this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

This week we discuss what, in retrospect, was the most controversial film of the year, even more than two serial killer films. No, the honor of Film That Made Everyone Angry was this week’s movie, predicated on flipping the script on the most infamous moment in American political history. And yet, for a movie tackling such a weighty subject, with a strong, self-assured filmmaker at the helm, this is an absolute stinker of a movie. it’s bad enough that the movie trades in some of the worst and most easily debunked conspiracy theories surrounding November 22, 1963; it’s also just so incredibly boring. Kevin Costner is reduced to expounding exposition while everyone else has to overact around him, all because Oliver Stone needed to shove his own dark beliefs into the public sphere. In doing so, he created a new level of doubt that has since transformed into some of the most dangerous conspiracy believers in society. All rise as we put JFK on trial this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

We’re going over to the mob this week by discussing the most-nominated film of this Oscars series, and also one of the most boring. It’s so dull, it can’t even cut through butter. There’s a dozen incredibly good stories just waiting to be told about Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Vegas, and the mafia in the 40’s and 50’s, and absolutely none of them get coverage in this movie. No, instead we get a psychosexual abusive romance that somehow is supposed to be the throughline for a bunch of historical exposition and horribly unwarranted violence. The writing is so bad here that there are multiple deserved acting nominations and some really incredible technical achievements and all of them get lost by the wayside. Flip on your screentest and brace yourself as we watch Bugsy on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

This week, we’re talking about a thriller that’s a remake of a classic thriller by one of the most famous directors in American movies. And it’s all because of Steven Spielberg. Well, OK, it’s also because Martin Scorsese saw the chance to make a hit movie, and wow does he deliver. There’s nothing particularly special about this week’s movie on paper - it’s a well-thought, taut thriller. But it’s Marty’s flourishes and powerhouse performances from Robert DeNiro and Juliette Lewis that propelled this film to Oscar status. At the end of it all, it’s a gripping, scary, and fun ride of a movie - and sometimes that’s just all you need.. Get the fishing line tied around your teddy bear as we watch Cape Fear on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

This week we’re discussing a film that’s one of the most beautiful messes you’ll ever see. Beautiful, because it revels in medieval mythology while telling a story of redemption in our modern lives. Messy, because our director didn’t seem to care about creating a consistent, thorough world for his characters to live in. It’s a movie that doesn’t hold up as well on deeper scrutiny, and yet also hits you right in the heart with a truly lovely story and incredibly strong performances from some of the best actors in the business. If only Terry Gilliam had reigned himself in just a little bit, this would have been absolutely perfect. Grab your armor and weapons from the scrap heap as we watch The Fisher King on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!

We continue our Oscars ‘91 series this week with yet another dark movie about Hollywood. Though this version has a twist: it’s the Coen brothers, and they’re making things incredibly weird, as they’re known to do. For a movie written about writer’s block by two writers dealing with writer’s block, it happens to be a fairly decent movie. It’s just that the Coens hadn’t struck that balance of digging up obscure references and making them instantly relatable. John Turturro and John Goodman give truly incredibly performances, but the Coens seem to have internalized the story a bit too much.
