1972: Sounder

This week, ATNW covers the 1972 Swedish-language historical epic The Emigrants. And, assuming that most people have not seen this one, we walk you through the plot pretty thoroughly. How did this film make it to the big dance, and why is it relatively forgotten? Plus: Jenny's 90's YA Corner, the dark side of Carnival Cruises, and after the closing theme, CATS madness strikes!

(CW: sexual assault)

1972: Cabaret

Mike and Jenny wrap up the 1927-28 miniseries with the winner of Outstanding Picture, the WWI flyboy drama Wings. How does it measure up to its lofty place in history? We talk action scenes, comics parallels, subtext, Clara Bow, and star quality. Plus, we rank the movies of the 1st Academy Awards, plan out our next two miniseries so you can watch along, and make another special announcement (which The Man forced our hand on).
