| 74 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | On the Waterfront (1954) | 24 Sep 2026 | 01:10:48 | |
We are 74 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today we go back to a city we've been in a few times before, New York. But this time, we're bound for a more working class lifestyle by hitting the docks. On the Waterfront is Elia Kazan's story about a man who has to make the hard choices when faced with his work versus his morals. Terry Malloy works, appropriately, on the waterfront as a longshoreman. He lives what he thinks is a good life until a traumatic event shakes him to his core and forces him to confront a world of corruption and making the choice to stand up for what is right. Elia Kazan controversially tackles this subject by seemingly comparing it to his own life and ostracism for ratting out members of the Communist Party to the House Un-American Activities Committee. The problem is... he sort of cooked - but you'll hear what we think in the episode. In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 75 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | From Here to Eternity (1953) | 17 Sep 2026 | 01:25:38 | |
We are 75 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today we welcome a colorful cast of characters all clad in aloha shirts. Yes, Fred Zinneman's From Here to Eternity is the story of the crew of a Hawaiian military outpost in the looming days of World War II, and our 26th Best Picture Winner. An ex-boxer with the suspicious name of Robert E. Lee Prewitt arrives at the Schofield Military Barracks; he's pressured to join the boxing team but refuses and most of the rest of the men make his life hell for it. This movie was co-created by the Army but subsequently unendorsed due to its depiction as a giant fraternity. Which is funny given this was allegedly adapted from the "boldest novel of our time" in the 1950s - so they should have known what they were getting into. The book may be bold, and some of that boldness may have made it into the film, but how does that land for us today? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 76 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) | 10 Sep 2026 | 01:24:07 | |
We are 76 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today we go to the big top - that bastion of family fun, dazzling feats of human agility and... criminal clowns? These are all part of The Greatest Show on Earth - Cecil B. DeMille's circus epic (for lack of a better word) and the winner of the 25th Academy Awards. A movie about the circus should have a commensurately wacky plot, and this movie delivers in spades. We get another back-to-back love triangle that features a young Charlton Heston in his breakout role; a character named Buttons the Clown played by Brainrot alumni Jimmy Stewart; gangsters; cavalcades; dogs riding horses - you name it. That's the circus baby! Such a chaotic movie is bound to bring the chaos out in us (and it does) - so how does that affect our thoughts on the film and its Best Picture legacy? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 77 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | An American in Paris (1951) | 03 Sep 2026 | 01:17:23 | |
We are 77 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today we travel to the iconic city of love as tourists for An American in Paris, the Gene Kelly-led MGM musical that brough color back to the Oscars with a nonsensical love triangle that runs on good vibes and dance numbers. In this movie, Jerry Mulligan is a starving artist and American ex-GI living in, of course, Paris. He falls in love with a girl who happens to be dating his best friend all while being courted by a much wealthier woman who promises to fund his art. I won't spoil how it ends, but it's a movie that appears to be interested in the idea of what to choose between love and duty or comfort. It's also a jukebox musical featuring the works of George Gershwin, so a lot going on. That all said - how does it hit for the Brainrot crew? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 78 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | All About Eve (1950) | 27 Aug 2026 | 01:25:05 | |
We are 78 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today we talk all about All About Eve, 1950's Best Picture winner that brings one of the most feminine stories to the podcast yet - about a woman who seeks to worm her way into the social circle of an aging Broadway star, with plans to usurp her. Bette Davis' Margo Channing is iconic in this movie as the aging star who is threatened by a talented newcomer named Eve. In Joseph L. Mankwiecz's classic, we get the story from all angles; every character has their story to share, which is why this movie was nominated for 5 acting Oscars. It's a movie that clicks on all cylinders and always keeps the audience guessing. It's a masterpiece of camp and acting - but how does it stand against all of the other winners we've covered? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 79 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | All the King's Men (1949) | 20 Aug 2026 | 01:28:09 | |
We are 79 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today we discuss the rise and fall of a somewhat fake but mostly real (but still fake) American politician named Willie Stark in 1949's All the King's Men. Willie Stark is the governor of a fictional and unnamed American state that is stealthily set in Stockton, California. He is a stand-in for the very real politician Huey Long - the polarizing social Democrat from 1920s Louisiana. Known for his commitment to wealth redistribution and helping the poor - he also ran the state as the closest thing we've seen to an American dictator; full of corruption and self-enrichment. All men a king, but no one wears a crown... except for him. This real life persona was adapted by Robert Penn Warren into a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, which then became All the King's Men. It's an American political drama that definitely doesn't remind us of anything else - but how does it hold up in the Best Picture canon? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 80 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Hamlet (1948) | 13 Aug 2026 | 00:54:43 | |
We are 80 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and this week we ask: To Brainrot? Or not to Brainrot? That is the question. 'Tis better to have Brainrotted and lost than... wait. Wrong one. This is 1948's Hamlet, the winner of the 21st Academy Awards. We welcome back our friend from Rebecca, Laurence Olivier; he has redefined himself as a Shakespearean thespian, perhaps THE Shakespearean thespian at least until Kenneth Branagh and Baz Luhrmann come around. This is one of many of his adaptations, but undoubtedly the most successful, taking home 4 Oscars, including Picture and Best Actor for himself. It's the story of a Danish prince, told arguably by recasting all the characters as lions and jungle animals - so how does a classic human-led Shakespeare fare with the Brainrot crew? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 81 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Gentleman's Agreement (1947) | 06 Aug 2026 | 01:27:19 | |
We are 81 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and this week it's time for a very special episode. Like the Oscars in the late 40s, we are here to talk about antisemitism, and will do so through the lens of the well-meaning Gentleman's Agreement. There's something to be said about earnest tackling of social issues by movies; they can uncover real rifts within society, attemping to diagnose and even heal them where possible. However, in this movie we have a non-Jewish character pretending to be Jewish to write an article about it. It was based on a best-selling novel at the time, and it came out right after World War II, contemporary with the founding of Israel. One could argue that it's heart is in the right place - but how much weight does that carry for the Brainrot crew? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 82 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) | 30 Jul 2026 | 01:32:14 | |
We are 82 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and for a second time, the gang is Wylin' out. William Wyler returns to the World War II well with another homefront war drama - but this one focuses on American veterans coming home. This is 1946's The Best Years of Our Lives. In the vaguely Midwestern town of Boone City, three veterans return home from World War II, each one bringing new outlooks on life, insecurities, and in some cases, physical disabilities. They have to quickly adapt to being home again and find their place in a world that now feels foreign and in many ways, hostile, towards them. Ultimately this is an emotional epic on a surprisingly small scale, and features a lot to love - but did it hit the mark for everyone here? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 83 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Lost Weekend (1945) | 23 Jul 2026 | 01:23:39 | |
We are 83 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and it's... 5 'o clock somewhere! Join hic Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they wash down last year's feel-good comedy with an unrelenting alcoholic drama; 1945's The Lost Weekend. Don Birnam is a man with a problem - a post-Prohibition alcohol addiction that comes to a head on one specific weekend. Instead of going on a rehabilitative retreat with his brother, Don goes on a bender; with a saga that twists in his backstory with his current downfall. It may simultaneously be one of the darkest and the most weirdly artistic movies we've covered thus far - but does that go over smooth or bitter with the crew? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 84 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Going My Way (1944) | 16 Jul 2026 | 01:03:12 | |
We are 84 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and it's time Adam, Drew, and Sarah got a little bit... Catholic. We're not following the standard path today, no, we're Going My Way - 1944's intergenerational comedy of a Best Picture Winner. There's a war going on? Is what the good folk of 1944 probably asked as they laughed their way through this story of a young priest who shows up to a failing church and has to take over. Father O'Malley and Father Fitzgibbon have nothing in common besides the cloth - one of them loves golf, and the other needs to have his tummy rubbed before beddy bye because he just gets so grumpy. This may be one of the most quirky Best Picture Winners thus far and one of the most out of sync with the tone of the world - but that's why it's a fascinating flick for the Brainrotters to take on. In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 85 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Casablanca (1943) | 09 Jul 2026 | 01:14:04 | |
We are 85 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they travel to unoccupied France to escape the Nazi takeover of mainland Europe. Of course to get out they need to go through... Casablanca, 1943's iconic Best Picture Winner. Back to back World War II movies isn't a surprise - though Casablanca bucks a bit of the optimistic patriotism of Mrs. Miniver for the cynical worldview of Rick, the owner of the American Cantina (I mean, Cafe) in French Morocco's most important city. When a dame from his past arrives with her male traveling partner - Rick has to reassess the events in his life and choose the kind of man he wants to be. Of pre-1950s movies, this joins Gone With the Wind in the list of "Best Picture Winners your average casual has heard of." It's certainly an iconic film - but does it hit for the Brainrot gang? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 86 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Mrs. Miniver (1942) | 02 Jul 2026 | 01:20:21 | |
We are 86 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they hang out with a particular British housewife by the name of Mrs. Miniver, the winner of 1942's Best Picture Oscar. Step aside World War I - your time is up. There's a new World War in town and this one has villains with killer fashion sense. We appreciate your contributions but frankly my dear (wrong reference) you're old news. On it's surface, Mrs.Miniver appears to be a WWII-version of pod-villain Cavalcade, though I can say with confidence that none of these future winners would hold the title of a certain German leader's favorite movie. However, diving a bit deeper what we found was a wholesome family living in the British homestead in the early days of the war. How wholesome was it? Let's see what the Brainrot gang thinks.

| 87 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | How Green Was My Valley (1941) | 25 Jun 2026 | 01:07:48 | |
We are 87 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as the answer the question all of us have been thinking: How Green Was My Valley? Of course that is the name of 1941's Best Picture winner. Wale, Wale, Wale, what do we have here? A valley huh? How green is it? Oh, not that green? Covered with coal soot actually? Oh Wale... That's it. That's the movie. It's a pretty even-keeled coming-of-age story for a young lad named Huw who comes from a coal mining family. Directed by legend John Ford it contains a lot of his hallmarks - growth, love, loss, and worker's rights. This is considered a bit of a controversial winner by cinema snobs - what does the Brainrot crew think of it? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 88 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Rebecca (1940) | 18 Jun 2026 | 01:15:47 | |
We are 88 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they get a little Hitchcockian and meet the winner of 1940's Best Picture - Rebecca. We find ourselves in the hangover year from Gone With the Wind with Rebecca, another dark love story - but one where we trade American aesthetic for European sensibility, large scale for intimacy, and sweeping color for black and white cinematography at its best. Rebecca tells the tale of a whirlwind romance across class barriers that sees our nameless heroine become the wife of the luxurious de Winter estate; but the lingering memory of Max de Winter's deceased wife (you'll never guess her name) threatens to derail it all. If you're a fan of Hitchcock, you've likely seen, and enjoyed, Rebecca; but will the Brainrot crew's takes introduce a new twist? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 89 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Gone With the Wind (1939) | 11 Jun 2026 | 01:27:46 | |
We are 89 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they, frankly, give a damn about the 12th Best Picture winner - 1939's Gone With the Wind. 1939 was a banner year for a lot of reasons. The New York Yankees swept the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series, Hitler invaded Poland, and a scrappy little cinematic novel adaptation named Gone With the Wind released to unprecedented financial success and Oscars recognition. It's the epic Southern romance that set the world (and a few big movie sets) ablaze with Confederate passion, for better or for worse. Of it's unprecedented 10 Oscars, Best Picture was, of course, one of them. It's legacy is one of a historical cinematic achievement - but how does the Brainrot squad feel about it?

| 90 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | You Can't Take it With You (1938) | 04 Jun 2026 | 01:11:31 | |
We are 90 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they consume more Capraganda with the 11th Best Picture winner - 1938's You Can't Take it With You. Like we said, there are 90 weeks until Oscars 100. Or should we say... 90 "twee"ks for the most millennial-core Best Picture which is somehow also from the 1930s. This movie stars Jimmy Stewart as the son of a business magnate who falls in love with a *gasp* poor girl from a *gasp* quirky family. Hijinks ensue but you'll have to listen to know what happens next. This is Capra's second Best Picture win, so how does this stack up to all the rest? In this episode you're gonna hear:

| 91 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | The Life of Emile Zola (1937) | 28 May 2026 | 01:22:30 | |
Can you believe this is our 10th epsiode? We are 91 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as "They Accuse!" (that will make sense later) one of the most French Best Picture winners - 1937's The Life of Emile Zola. We're back in the biopic trenches (regardless of how you pronounce it) with the story of Emile Zola, a French journalist and author whose career spanned the late 1800s. Specifically, this movie covers his early career to death while also taking time to focus on a major political event of the moment; the Dreyfus Affair. Kind of... We've got thoughts about the history, and we've got thoughts about the movie - and most importantly we've got opinions on how this fits into the Best Picture canon. In this episode you're gonna hear:

We are 92 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they get Zieggy with it in our next Best Picture winner discussion - 1936's The Great Ziegfeld. The Great Ziegfeld tells the story of the... great Ziegfeld. He's okay. One of the biggest drivers of the growth of Broadway, and inspiration for the events in The Broadway Melody - Florenz Ziegfeld went from relative obscurity to an iconic stage producer. It's a biopic that happened almost immediately after the death of the man himself, showing how important he was to the culture. He may be the original impresario - but were we impressed with this Best Picture win? In this episode you're gonna hear:

Witness Frank Lloyd's redemption from historical stinker Cavalcade as he makes a certified British banger in Mutiny on the Bounty. This tells the story of the HMS Bounty, a ship bound to Tahiti and captained by the domineering Captain Bligh. The titular mutiny comes when he pushes his crew too far but you'll have to listen to what comes next, and how it fits into the Best Picture canon. In this episode you're gonna hear:

Calling all Capra-corns, we're watching the first rom-com to win Best Picture - It Happened One Night. Part romance, part screwball comedy and part road trip movie, this movie follows spoiled heiress Ellie Andrews as she tries to get from Florida to New York on the low with charming reporter Peter Warne by her side. It Happened One Night is a stone-cold classic of it's genre, but can the same be said for its Best Picture legacy? In this episode you're gonna hear:

We are 95 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they trudge through British history with the sixth Best Picture winner - 1933's Cavalcade. Oi! We talkin' about Cavalcade this week, innit? This film traces the history of Britain from the turn of the 20th Century up until the year of its release - 1933. It's one of those films where simultaneously a lot happens while also nothing happens at all. Cavalcade might be the most British film to win Best Picture - but it may not be all beans and toast for us. In this episode you're gonna hear:

What if Mike White was a time traveler who went back in time to test a pilot for The White Lotus in the 1930s? This is exactly what Grand Hotel feels like - a cast of colorful characters interacting within the walls of a luxury hotel dealing with deceit, devotion, and even death. Grand Hotel is our most contained and character-driven Best Picture winner thus far - but how do we feel about that? In this episode you're gonna hear:
