Best Picture Breakdown Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/best-picture-breakdown Welcome to Best Picture Breakdown—a podcast where a father and son embark on the noble, if slightly deranged, quest to watch every single Best Picture winner in Oscar history. Why? Because apparently we haven’t suffered enough. Hosted by Pete Wright (film nerd, podcast veteran, possible time traveler) and his son Nick (Gen Z representative and reluctant silent film survivor), each episode dissects one award-winning movie, asking the critical questions like: “Was this really the best movie of the year?” and “Why is Gary Cooper only in this for two minutes?” Expect old films, new perspectives, cross-generational bickering, unexpectedly heartfelt insights, and the occasional on-mic identity crisis about whether that 1920s bromance was just friendship or, in fact, very, very gay. From Wings to whatever wins next, this is cinema history with jokes. Lots of jokes. © TruStory FM 23086681-0c58-535e-95bf-a74181c30d3d no en Tue, 29 Jul 2025 10:36:29 -0700 Tue, 02 Dec 2025 23:22:23 -0800 https://img.transistor.fm/-_mqj4A2SkdMfGlj7cUlHlr7ih-3X2XiFmU1pRZ5bIQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:1400/h:1400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80NWY3/ZmRlZTVjMTY5NDUx/OWIzYjc1ZmZiMmZi/ZDI5OS5qcGc.jpg Best Picture Breakdown episodic TruStory FM Welcome to Best Picture Breakdown—a podcast where a father and son embark on the noble, if slightly deranged, quest to watch every single Best Picture winner in Oscar history.

You get Wings, the very first winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture and the focus of our inaugural episode of Best Picture Breakdown.

Pete and Nick Wright—father-son film buffs separated by a century of cinema—break down this 1927 war epic that somehow manages to be romantic, tragic, and a little bit gay, all while flinging actual biplanes through the sky without CGI or regard for safety protocols. Is it a masterpiece? A time capsule? A slow-moving art piece about the horrors of war? Yes. Also, Nick learns what rotoscoping is and Pete gets called old more times than Gary Cooper had film credits. Strap in for a story about the cost of glory—and also how many bubbles you can animate on a drunk man in a French bar.
