Ep 26: Oliver!

The BPC Gang takes to the streets of 19 Century England to review the situation and discuss the 1968 Best Picture winner OLIVER! You won't have to ask for more this week as there is no shortage of gruel, gin, or movie chatter as Best Picture Cast regulars Grant Z (Argo, Crash, Rocky, Home Alone) and Chris G (Silence of the Lambs, Rain Man, Lost Weekend, Shawshank Redemption)join Host Kieran to talk some musical Dickens. We discuss everything from intermissions to 80s Joel and make our own connections between Oliver Twist and HOB's The Wire. We also watched David Lean's Oliver Twist(1948), The OG Oliver Twist talkie(1932), Disney's Oliver & Company(1989), and 2001 a Space Odyssey for the event and discuss the whole kitten caboodle. Don't be alarmed by the length of our Oliver! deep dive, just consider yourself at home! The Time stamps are listed below.
