Academy Vs Audience hits 1966, 1966 hits back

It's 1966, and as the so-called "Golden Age" of Hollywood collapses, nobody's having a good year. The Oscars favour A Man For All Seasons, the story of Thomas Moore, a man bold enough to [checks notes] take no actions, speak no opinions, and "My name's Paul and that's tween y'all" Henry VIII's marriage controversies. Yeah. Great subject for a biopic. Meanwhile two underperforming would-be epics have a photo-finish for Box Office Champ, and we select the last Bible epic, a straight up retelling of Genesis in The Bible: In The Beginning. Munsi Parker-Munroe, our own personal omen of doom, joins Claire, Erin, and Dan for the breakdown. Join in! Learn, laugh, and loathe with us.
