It's 1982, and the rift between Academy and Audience grows ever farther. The (many) Oscars go to Richard Attenborough's lengthy biopic Gandhi, bringing you the greatest hits of Mohandas-then-Mahatma Gandhi, managing to fill over three hours of runtime with few insights beyond "Gandhi: Nifty." Meanwhile Steven Spielberg re-conquered Hollywood with the simple tale of a boy and his stranded alien exo-botanist in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial. Whose death earned what reaction from Erin, Claire, and Dan? What makes this the year that Art and Commerce broke up? When you're ready to listen... we'll be right here.
