About this listen

We are 95 weeks away from the 100th Academy Awards; follow Adam, Drew, and Sarah as they trudge through British history with the sixth Best Picture winner - 1933's Cavalcade.

Oi! We talkin' about Cavalcade this week, innit? This film traces the history of Britain from the turn of the 20th Century up until the year of its release - 1933. It's one of those films where simultaneously a lot happens while also nothing happens at all. Cavalcade might be the most British film to win Best Picture - but it may not be all beans and toast for us.

In this episode you're gonna hear:
  • History that only British kids learn in primary school
  • How a Gumpian ethos drives the action (or lack thereof) in this movie
  • A variety of terrible English accents
  • Our modern rewrite that brings Cavalcade to the 21st Century


Follow us @bestpicturebrainrotpodcast as we keep delving into Oscars history with a brainrot spin
