b"This week, the boys of OscarWatch return to World War II with a look at the classic David Lean epic, The Bridge on the River Kwai. A gorgeous, tense and wonderful look at obsession in wartime, Obi-Wan Kenobi -- err, Alec Guinness, called it some of his finest acting (and he even won an Oscar, too). Our fearless hosts dissect the iconic theme, the nature of drama, motivation and conflict and get down to the business of watching a film in which all the pieces fall together beautifully. We also learn just why Steve was so eerily quiet these past few weeks. Turns out, he was on a little adventure of his own. All of this and more on this week's episode of OscarWatch.\\n\\nFind us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Drop us a line at oscarwatchpodcast@gmail.com and be sure to leave a review on iTunes.
