  • 047 - 1932-33 Roundup - Come Back a Star
    Jun 24 2021

    This will be our last episode for a bit while we retool the show a little. It is also, however, our most intense competition for the Notscar yet! We nominated 6 out of 10 of the movies we watched for this season, and we were honestly undecided until the very last moment. Listen in as we quickly cover the highs and lows of 1932-33 and then agonize over who was truly the top movie of the season.

  • 046 - Cavalcade - Come Back a Star
    Jun 17 2021

    The official Best Picture winner of 1932-33! We've had a lot of good ones this season - ones we've heard of and are still watched. Cavalcade is less known. It was interesting to see what came out on top compared to Little Women, 42nd Street, A Farewell to Arms, I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, or The Private Life of Henry VIII. Does this all sound kind of mysterious? Listen to the episode! You'll quickly learn our verdict on the movie and why it may have claimed the prize back in 1899, I mean 1932-33.

  • 045 - 42nd Street - Come Back a Star
    Jun 10 2021

    "You keep your feet on the ground and your head on those shoulders of yours and go out, and Sawyer, you're going out a youngster but you've got to come back a star!"

    Whooo! It's the source of our podcast's title! That doesn't mean we'll go easy on it though. The movie has its flaws, but so much of it is so iconic that its motifs have become tropes in our stories about showbusiness. Will it win a nomination for a Notscar? Tune in to see if whether or not we'll give our own award to the movie that gave us Come Back a Star's title.
