  • Wings, the movie, the food and some bubbles as well.
    Oct 13 2025

    This week the dinner table embarks on the journey of watching and discussing every Oscar winning best picture from the very beginning. We start at the beginning by discussing the 1928 movie Wings, celebrating with some chicken wings, good champagne and a delicious fall cranberry crumble for dessert. Listen in as some of us are surprised by how good of a movie a silent film can be and learn a bit about World War One. It is always a good time at the dinner table with Dan on Wroe Avenue.
