About Editing The Academy

Two friends get together to discuss the best picture nominees of each year starting in 1969. We discuss each nominated film in detail breaking down the technical aspects, character development, acting, story presentation, etc. But, we also chat about how they hit us...our emotional reactions. We try hard to let our modern filters fade and put ourselves in the mind frame of the year of release, but we’ll admit...it’s hard. So join us as we dive deep in these films and discuss whether academy made the correct choice that year. Feel free to join in the discussIO and agree or disagree, we only ask that you do so respectfully. Oh, and yeah...major spoilers for each film.

   Laura and Darryl discuss 12 Angry Men, a 1957 film that supports the idea that just because it's old doesn't mean it's not amazing. While many of the older films on the AFI list Laura and Darryl have had some difficulty relating to...good is good no matter when it was crafted. #americanfilminstitute #12angrymen
