The most important election in our lifetimes has just passed us (I hope we are still standing) and so what better way to celebrate democracy and America than with that most American of all films, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Directed by an immigrant, by the way! Wait...you mean this film didn't win Best Picture?!? How could that be? Well...we get into that, with a little preview of the banner year that 1939 was. Amy and Steve get to the heart of why this is so beloved and why every politician should watch this before doing anything. Plus, Stewart gets a lot of credit but what about Jean Arthur? So what if she can't cast movies, that's not her job! All that, and what would Steve and Amy use if they ever found themselves filibustering on the senate floor! The answers will probably in no way surprise you! May you listen to this for as long as we still have an open and free internet. Write us an email with your Listener Requests to oscarwatchpodcast@gmail.com and be sure to follow us on social media @oscarwatchpod Next week, we honor the end of World War One with a look back at the Best Picture winner, All Quiet On The Western Front.
