Oops. Forgot to post the '90s episode last week, so here's both the '90s and the '00s eps for your listening pleasure!
Our Oscar snub series continues into the decade that gave us Nirvana, The X-Files, and Tamagotchi (two out of three ain't bad). There are lots of great movies to cover, but only two get picked. Spoiler alert: Neither of them are Independence Day.
Continue onward for the 2000s episode!

MOVIE REVIEW: BOYHOOD Is the Definitive Coming-of-Age Film
By now, everyone is pretty aware of the radical experiment writer/director Richard Linklater has undergone with his new film, Boyhood. It's been a centerpiece of the film's marketing, and the audience I saw it with were murmuring about it before the lights went down. While I was certainly intrigued by such a risky choice, it was how Linklater would use the real-life aging of his actors in service to the story and themes that brought me to the theater, and I was not only impressed, I was in emotional awe. Boyhood is the true definition of a magnum opus. It is such an achievement that I find it challenging to try and encapsulate everything that makes it so special, but I will try.
