It's 1978 and the tonal gulf between Oscar winner and people's champ has, if anything, widened, as has the gap in host reactions. The Academy goes for Michael Cimino's home-from-Vietnam story The Deer Hunter, which has some stellar performances but also very strange and off-putting pacing, and an iconic, definitive scene that maybe does more harm than good. Meanwhile, audiences flocked to see John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in the 50s nostalgia musical Grease, filled with songs and bad life choices, and which maybe gets more criticism for its ending than it warrants. Erin, Claire, and returning guest Kevin are here for it all, Dan... has a different take, and an explanation as to how Deer Hunter contributed to the Birth of Oscar Season and the Death of New Hollywood. Who's right? Listen and decide!
