#434: Oscar Picks / A Night at the Opera

Winning an Oscar, only slightly more glamorous than joining the 10 million mile club like Ryan Bingham in "Up in the Air"... The Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips joins Adam and Josh for a special Oscars edition of Filmspotting to discuss who will win, who should win... and who should get their name on the side of a plane. Plus, the fourth and final Marx Bros. Marathon movie, "A Night at the Opera."

ZD30 just feels like, and is, the more 'important' film, which the Academy (rightly or wrongly) typically goes for. - Audible recommendations: Life of Pi, A Prayer for Owen Meany, and Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho - Massacre Theatre winner: Adam Wells LINKS - Josh's "Night at the Opera" review - Soderbergh's "Vulture" interview PARTNERS - MoviePass - Fandor.com/Filmspotting - The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith- iTunes
