For their latest Oscar Rewind, Nick and Sophia are joined by Brian Rowe of the Film at Fifty podcast to celebrate the semicentennial of the 44th Academy Awards. They each choose a film to discuss from among the nominees- \\u2018The Last Picture Show\\u2019 (4:39), \\u2018Klute\\u2019 (34:21), and \\u2018Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory\\u2019 (58:24)- before discussing the year's Best Picture and Best Director winner, \\u2018The French Connection\\u2019 (1:22:31). Listen as they break down highlights, reactions, and fun facts about each film and ask if they were under-appreciated at the Oscars or rightly deserved their praise.
