AVA takes on an Ordinary Empire

Welcome to Academy Vs Audiences All 80s Summer! The hits get bigger and the Oscar winners get smaller, and nothing spells that out quite like 1980. The Oscars go with Ordinary People, Robert Redford's film about a family in turmoil after a tragedy, and the different ways we successfully or unsuccessfully process grief. The audience, however, just really wanted to see more of Luke, Han, and Leia, then got to shock of their 1980 lives about Darth Vader when the Empire Struck Back. Is Ordinary People's quality filmmaking enough for repeat viewings? Do Erin, Claire, and Dan have more notes about this Star War than the last one? Listen in!
