73 Weeks Until the 100th Oscars | Marty (1955)

We are 73 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards and today, we've got the meats.  Marty tells the story of a sweet New York butcher who finds love after 34 years of trying, which is a crazy long amount of time, apparently.  Maybe when you're Italian! Marty Piletti and Clara Snyder are both old, busted individuals for the 1950s - or at least that's what all of their friends and family tell them!  They've internalized the fact that they'll never find love and instead spend all their nights hanging out with their parents or, in Marty's case, his bum friends.  But it's a chance encounter that will change everything.  It's a focused story that fits within a tight-90, praise be.  It's a sweet story and one of the smallest to win Best Picture, but will we fall in love with Marty? In this episode you're gonna hear: About our meat plugs If Marty and Clara are actually as busted as people say How director Delbert Mann dipped in and dipped out of the Oscars Adam forget how to say the name of the main woman character of the movie Follow us @bestpicturebrainrotpodcast as we keep delving into Oscars history with a brainrot spin Letterboxd Adam - https://boxd.it/9fMt Alexis - https://boxd.it/I7k7 Sarah - https://boxd.it/6VQMl
